VOTE A BLANKED MORTGAGE.
Pennsylvania Stockholders Authoriz,
Issuance of Bonds,

PHILADELPHIA, March II. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company stock
holders at their annual meeting yesterday
authorized the board Of directors to
create a mortgage under which bonds
may be issued in such amounts and al
such times as may be required properly
to finance the company. This is in line
with the announcement made by the
company last October. The mortgage is
to cover the whole or such portions OF its
railroad, property and franchises as the
directors may authorize. land the aggre.
gate amount of the bonds at any time
outstanding shall not exceed the pal
value of the then outstanding capita
stock of the company"
President Samuel Rea, who presided
read a statement In which he denied pub
lished reports alleging that railroads
had manipulated their accounts to show
increased costs Of operation. Mr.. Rea
also referred to the question of increased
freight rates, stating that the interstate
commerce commission and state commits
sion had probably failed to appreciate
the consequence of legislative enactments
and regulation dealing with every phase
OF railroad operation. The result hi
said. is higher maintenance and operat
ing charges. The railroads. as a whole
have not been spending enough for main
tenance, he added.

Peter Rabbit Gets His Wish.

Jumper the Hare, who is Peter RAD
bits big cousin and had come down from
the Great Woods of the north to live IN
the Green Forest, had seen very little Oh
Peter lately because he disliked to leave
the Green Forest, and ever since he had
seen those strange tracks deep In the
Green Forest Peter had kept close to the
dear Old Briar Patch. So Jumper had
not heard Peters story. which nobody
believed and about which everybody
leased Peter whenever they saw him. One
moonlight night Jumper took it into his
head to visit his cousin and find out why
he had been keeping so close to the dear
Old Briar Patch.
First making sure that the way was
clear. for Jumper is very, very timid, he
seampered across to the Old Briar Patch
as fast as his long legs could take him
and was quite out Of breath when ne GOT
there. He found Peter sitting under a
bramble bush looking quite as miserable
as he felt.
Hello, Cousin Peter. Where have you
been keeping yourself lately? / haven't
seen you or your tracks In the Green
Forest for days and days. Are you sick!''
asked Jumper.
No replied Peter shortly, I'm not
sick. but guess will be If this keeps
glum and unhappy.
"If what keeps up?" asked Jumper,
looking very much puzzled.

Feds Will Vanish,
Says Mathewson

In a copyrighted article printed In
the Philadelphia Press to-day under
Christy Mathewson's signature, and
furnished by the Wheeler syndicate,
the New York Giant twirler referring
to the Federal League says:
my personal opinion is that the new
league is going to dissolve like the
morning mist before the sun as soon
as 1t is exposed to the sunlight of the
opening of the regular season. At this
writing the league is short several ball
parks, and nobody can play ball in tho
summer without park. and also it is
shy on talent. No team will have
more than four or five players Of any
reputation, and the hackers of the new
league are signing men at present who
were ready to pass out or who had
passed out of organized baseball.
However, all the players are for the
Federal League now because they be-
lieve it means q continued raise in
salaries. But in my humble opinion
the salaries will not hold up, because
the magnates are not going to fight
long when they find they are losing
money by paying such top-notch
prices for players. A compromise is
bound to come If the Federals don't
go under"
