Rumors of Friction With
Frick Interests in Cambria
Steel.

About the only development of any
moment on the Philadelphia stock Ex-
change during today's brief session was
the sale Of some local securities under
the rule" This was an aftermath of
the failure OF Moreau Bieber, who has

billties with the United States District
Court A hundred share lot of York
Railways and a similar amount OF Key
stone Telephone was disposed Of in this
manner and also an $1,000 block OF In

of activity in these issues, York Railways
recedlng q fraction and the bonds selling
at 56ia, Telephone remained steady.
Overnight consideration of the rate de-
Cision brought satisfaction in the imam
cial district, If the expressions OF brokers
and traders this morning can be taken
as a criterion. Nevertheless there was
no rush to purchase stocks, doubtless
because the war news dominated the
dealings. Small declines were estab-
lished in Philadelphia Electric. keystone
Telephone preferred, Lehigh Navigation
and Tonopah Belmont. on the other
hand, Pennsylvania and United States
Steel displayed firmness.
Cambria Steel remained quiescent de-
spite the report that the Frlck interests
in that company were not altogether
satisfied with the results being obtained
by the present management. Although
the Pennsylvania Railroad owns ma
jority of the stock of the steel company,
II. C. Frick and his associates have a
powerful influence in it's affairs. From
time to time 1t has been said that the
Pennsylvania would be glad to dispose
of It's stock IL the price were made right
but the general upheaval in the financial
world settled any possibility of deal at
a time when 1t was said to have been
almost closed. The election of Childs
Frlck to the Cambria board naturally
strengthens the position of the minority
interests. On the other hand, the aitilia-
ton of Samuel T. Bodine, the other new
director, is not SO clear.

MORGAN SAVED
ERIE RAILROAD,
SAYSPARTNER
Testimony in Pere Mar
quette Inquiry Throws
Light on Other Deals and
c. H. & D. Receivership.

WASHINGTON Dec. 19-That J. P.
Morgan saved the Erie Railroad from
financial disaster in 1905 at a cost to him
self Of $l2,O00,0OO and the Erie board voted
him its especial thanks for the service,
and that Morgan Immediately unloaded
the dubious Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton stock. which was involved in the
deal onto the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. today was testified before Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Hall by Fred
erick w. Stevens, OF ]. =. Morgan & Co.
All the intricacies OF the financial his
tory of the c., II. and ID. and the Pere
Marquette, including a recital of the
from dividend paying institution into
property, physically and financially de-
crepit were told by stevens. Mr., Stevens
has been a director in the Marquette road
since 1907 and director in the c., II and
d since 1900. He said he participated per-
sonally in the reorganization OF the Mar
quette in 1907 and in the reorganization
of the c.. II. and d. in 1909.
The annual interest charge of g. II.
and d. obligations amounted to Sl,1OO,0OO
which doubled the interest charges of
that road in the first year of zlmmer-
mans administration. At the end of this
year the c. II. and d. was in debt for
more than S3,OOO,OOO, with It's credit prac-
tically exhausted, said Stevens. He
added that j. p. Morgan & Co. had
nothing to do with these transactions.
Tho reports of the company's career
during the year preceding October, 1905,
had not been published at that time, he
declared.
President Underwood. Of the Erie, wrote
]. p. Morgan a long letter in August of
1905 asking him to buy the C, H. and ID.
for the Erie. Morgan agreed, and an
arrangement was made whereby the pur-
chase price was to be paid by long-term
bonds OF the Erie. The purchase was
concluded on October 20, 1906 When the
bad financial condition of the purchased
road was discovered, Morgan offered to
take 1t over, and his offer was accepted
with thanks by the Erie board OF di-
rectors, Stevens asserted. In this way,
the witness added, Morgan saved the
Erie from heavy loss. A receivership OF
the c. II. and d. was declared Decem-
Der 4, 1906 The Pere Marquette lease
was cancelled and arrangements were
made to refund the obligations of the
c. II. and ID.
