equal 10 ;597aoS. an increase OF ASVt
+. ". Whitridgc. president. said.
There is hardly day when ] am not
asked about a dividend on the Third Ave
nue. stock, because. ! suppose. there APP
pears to be such large surplus earnings
which. in ordinary parlance. are 'ap-
plicable TO the payment Of dividends on
that stock.
Money, however which is applicable -
the payment Of dividends is, as ! under
stand, money i'm the bank not necessary
TO he spent for other purposes. That is
not our case. our present surplus earn
ings are not applicable TO the payment
of dividends at all because it IS neces-
sary and desirable, and, so far I can
foresee. IL will continue to be necessary
and desirable. to expend these earnings on
the property for several years to come.
1T would not. therefore. be honest to
pay dividend until the time when the
property is in such condition that our
allowance for depreciation viii thereafter
care for its needs over and above the
ordinary maintenance and further until
the effect Of the new subways on our
earnings has been ascertained.

workers when the Tigers apparently had
overtsken them and had victory IN sight
Princeton lost when Salmon missed four
fouls in succession. and Gill, who had Gov
cred the whole floor as guard, loosened W
in his careful watching Of Captain Nee
nan and allowed him TO score twice IN the
last two minutes Of play.
Lee did much for his team by keeping
Jackson. the Tigers crack forward, en-
tirelv out OF the game, even though he
himself was ruled out in the last few
minutes for excessive foulins.
Columbia took the advantage in the
first half by to 3. but the Tigers started
the second half with rush that gave
them a 3-point lead. They kept just
one point i'm the lead until the last two
minutes. when Meenan netted two one
handed shots in succession and won the
game.

OBJECTIONS NOT. UPHELD
N. Y. Railway Directors to
Continue Present Accounting.

Objections raised by some of the hold
ers OF the adjustment mortgage income
per cent bonds Of the New York Railway >
Company to the deductions made from
the companys earnings resulted in the
announcement yesterday that the direc-
tors will not apply the uneXpended bal
ance in the injuries to persons and prop
erty account TO interest on the bonds.
This decision was reached from a re-
port made by committee composed OF
five directors elected by the adjustment
bondholders. However, a friendly suit
may be brought against the New York
Railways Company 10 secure an interpre-
tation Of the adjustment mortgage in
denture, which I'm one case seems To pro-
vide that reserves not actually expended
i'm one sx-months' period shall be added
10 the earnings Of the succeeding period.
II is said that there are other clauses OF
the mortgage which permit the policy fol-
lowed by the company.
