CAPITAL TRACTION CUTS
DIVIDEND TO 5 PER CENT
Added Expenses in Extensions ana
High Physical Maintenance
Given as the Reasons.
President Hamilton In Circular Let
ter Tells of Decision Of Direct
ors-Cuts OF $4,000.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The most important financial news of
the day, so far as Washington is con-
ccrned, was the action of the directors
of the Capital Traction Company in
reducing its dividend distribution from
G per cent to per cent basis.
This action was not an entire sur
prise In financial circles: indeed, the
action of the market for the stock
has rather presaged it. At the close of
the stock exchange following the be-
ginning of hostilities abroad Capital
Traction shares were selling at about
par, or on a per cent basis
In the inner circles of the corpora
ton increased earnings have been re-
ported so far this year over the re-
turns of 1913, but the added expenses
IN extensions, not commensurate in re-
turns with outlay as yet, and the de-
ctsion of the directors to maintain a
nigh physical condition of excellence
cut into net earnings severely
If the reduction should be continued
TOT year 1t would mean loss of
income to shareholders of 100000,
Capital Traction shares have long
oeen looked upon as one of the most
desirable of local investments. and
nave been, up to the last few months,
held very closely.
announcement of the cut was made
70 the shareholders in the following
ircular from President Hamilton. in
which he sets forth at some length the
causes that have made the directors
deem the reduction advisable

not a roformer because I want to be

came to the Office for attention, my
senior partners taking care OF the
more agreeable civil cases. In this
manner. | came inso direct contac'
with the so-called white So - traffic
in all of its horrible details. The need
OF reform was evident, and the sense
OF responsibility was so borne in upon
my conscience that | had to take up
the work of fighting it in spite of my
reluctance. That is why | am now
engaged in a national crusade against
the great moral evil that threatens the
very life of society.
Mr. Roe is to speak under the joint
