STEELTON
DONNER To
HEAD PEN|VA. STEEL
Cambria President Even Now to
Give Large Part Of Time to
Management Here

At special meeting of the directors
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
in Philadelphia, yesterday, William II.
Donner, president of the Cambria Steel
Company. was elected member of
by the death of the late George F..
Baer.
Following the directors meeting 1t
was announced at the Philadelphia Of
fiVs of the company that at the an
nual meeting next Monday there will
be submitted for the approval of the
stockholders an amendment to the by
laws creating the new office of chair
man of the board. Mr.. Donner will
be elected to this position.
Part Time to Penna. Steel
1T was also officially announced that
Mr.. Donner will give a large part of
his time to the management of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company. In steel
and financial circles this is pretty gen.
orally understood to mean that he will
become the active executive head of
the company.
Just what effect this change will
have in Steelton and the future of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company is still
problematical. Financial circles, how
ever, are inclined to view the changes
favorably and evidently feel that the
move means increased prosperity for
the company.
"A Philadelphia newspaper has this
to say editorially this morning:
with the election of William II.
Donner to the board of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company yesterday after
noon, to take the place made vacant
by the death of George F. Baer, the
prospects of the company brighten, as
this action is only the first step in the
movement to place DonMer virtually at
the head of the corporation. At the
annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company on Monday next the
stockholders will be asked to sanction
certain changes in the by-lNws, which
office to be called chairman of the
board To this office Donner will be
elected Thus the direction of the
companys affairs will come under his
control
AT the same time he will continue
as president of the Cambria Steel
Company, but it is believed that the
plan is to eventually bring these two
concerns completely under one man
agement. What Donner has done for
the Cambria Steel, and that has been
a great deal, 1t is confidently expected
he will also do for the Pennsylvania
Steel. 1t has long needed new blood
and progressive management. That it
Will now have. Certainly Donners
election is a bull card on the stock.
If 1t is not reflected in the market at
once 1T can scarcely fail to be later
on when the steel trade becomes active
again and Donner begins to show re-
suits"

ADOPT STANDARDS FOR
FOREST IMPROVEMENTS

Denver. March IA committee OF
forest supervisors and district otfic-
icls at the local headquarters Of the
forest service is engaged this week in
the preparation of a STANDARD set of
plans for the construction of all types
of permanent improvements on the
national forest in this jurisdiction
According to the committee, the
service feels that the experience gain
ed in the construction of their improve
ments. under many conditions of site
and need, is sufficient now to warrant
the adoption of q standard set of
specifications and designs for all
classes and types of improvements
II proposes. therefore, to select from
the specifications and recommends
tion submitted by the supervisors
thrrouehout the district a number of
the most practicable plans 10 met the
requirements of all the forests.
In the selection Of plans for the
construction of ranger headquarters,
the most economical arrangement Of
buildings with respect to water sup
oily. sanitation. and general appear
ance is considered. Special attention,
it is said. will be given to the oleation
Of buildings. barns and fences so that
they may harmonic TO the best ed-
vantage with the natural forest sur
roundings. and be made as attractive
as possible. The disposition of build
ings will be such as to secure the best
water supply available and at the same
time provide a natural drainage for
run-off and refuse away from the liv-
ing quarters of the ranger and his
family
When completed a compilation OF
The plans. known as the permanent
improvement manual, viii be issued
for the instruction of all superviors in
The district. This manual viii contain
specifications and instructions for the
construction along standard lines OF

5000 CHICKEN FARM
BOOSTED TO 100000 SCHEME

Charges of stock jobbing by the In
ternational Correspondence Schools
of Scranton. Pa. were made a few
days ago before a legislative commit
tee at a hearing on a bill to regulate
the financial conduct of such schools
in the state of Massachusetts.
The charges were made by J. A
Robertson. formerly manager OF a
branch of the school at Cape Town.
Africa. and former Representative
Clarence A. Barnes of Mansfield
Mr. Robertson said that it was the
custom of the directors of the school
to buy properties and either sell them
direct to text book companies at
grossly inflated values. or sell the
stock to students.
The directorates in all the compan-
les are interlocking and are controlled
by the directors OF the parent com
pany.r he said These companies
speculate in securities, undeveloped
properties or on future prospects. and
the stock is sold by agents.
For instance. a chicken farm was
purchased not long ago fer $4,000,
capitalized for 100000 in bonds and
100000 in stock and then sold to the
Hover Incubator Manufacturing com
pany as the International Poultry
Sales company, with a capital of over
81, 100000. all from an original invest
ment of $4,000"
Mr.. Barnes urged the passage OF
bill which would place correspondeuce
schools under the control of the
commissioner OF corporations and CON.
pei such schools to file a yearly state
ment of their financial standing 10
gether with list of stockholders.
Vice President c. f. Lawrence o.

sold to or by students, but admitted
that agents of the schools might have
sold them as side lines. He said tha-

own expenses and for maintaining the
states property, including the building
and grounds
Many of the state officials believe
that the board of capital managers is
an expensive luxury. Many at
tempts have been made during ses-
sions of the Legislature to abolish the
department, but thus far the efforts
proved a failure The matter came
up in the nineteenth general assembly
but nothing came of it.
The plan was to have the affairs
of the capitol building attended to by
the elective state officials, including
the governor, attorney general. secre-
tary of state, treasurer and auditor. II
was maintained that If this system
was chosen there will be practically no
expense to the state in the matter of
looking after the buildings, etc. In
stead, it costs Colorado many thous-
ands OF dollars every year to keep up
the board OF capitol managers with
very little to show for the money ex-
pended. Another effort will be made
to abolish tie board Of managers when
the legislature meets again.
