Receivers Certificates Will Be
Sold To Raise Cash-Back
Taxes To Pay

The retirement OF equipment obliga-
tons by setting aside about $4,000
from the revenues OF the road each
month: the institution OF q policy
Of paying cash at so or 80 days for
all purchases, and the practical com
pletion OF an agreement to sell GER
tiicates for funds to meet back taxes
OF 1913, are features Of the monthly
report OF the receivers of the Pere
Marquette railroad for July. The re-
port was received by Judge futile OF
the United States district court,
Wednesday.
The back taxes which must be paid
with borrowed money amount to
$546,60S They are now increasing
by o penalty Of one per cent per
month. Arrangements for borrowing
the funds were made recently In New
York by Receivers Waters and King.
They have been informally Endorsed
by Judge Tuttle.
A plan for the retirement OF the
equipment notes was agreed upon In
a meeting of the receivers with Q
committee OF holders Of the notes.

with the payment of the obligations
as they become due.
With regard to the financial policy
or the road, the report says: The
purchasing department will hereafter
buy nothing that cannot be paid for
out OF current receipts, and will not
be permitted to exceed the amount
Of the appropriation allowed 1t each
month In the budget" This policy
was adopted with the beginning OF
the fiscal year. July /. The receiv-
.ers announce that II viii be adhered
to strictly.
Creditors OF the company will be
paid OF pro rata In amounts depend
ing on the supply Of cash on hand
from time to time. About $4,000 Ia
being spent each month In repair OF
cars.
A saving OF 3s.39o.62 in operating
expenses was effected during July as
compared with the expenses Of the
same month last year. This was
partly due, II IL said, to an early
completion Of summer repair work.
The receivers have refused q de-
mand of clerks for an increase In
wages on the ground that they are
now getting as much as those on
other roads.

with horror and I really was little
sorry for telling her the truth 30
badly.

Eliene was allowed to adopt those
children"
Mercy. you couldn't keep her from
II when she knew the circumstances
Does she know what these people
accuse Harry OF In regard to these

Certainly. and Harry admitted the
acquisition was true
Madame Symone was speechless
and then she murmured to herself:
"This, then, is the reason Harry Is In
Europe and Eliene Is giving up her
home to strangers"

quietly. You might call US the
friends who helped both Harry and
Eliene In suppressing scandal that
the wild act your son had committed

But It isn't suppressed" walled
Madame Symone. That woman's
brother says he has some OF Harry's
letters and he wants me to buy them
OF him. Do you think he is telling
the truth? Do you think that Harry
would be 80 foolish as to write In
terminating letters to girl who was
once my maid?"
II can't tell, but I would think II
were very likely, as Harry has done
many more foolish and more sinful
things than that"
But what am to do? am afraid
to look I'm the evening yellow papers
for fear that I will see the disgrace
Of my family written there"
II think, perhaps, you had better
let Dick attend to this
Will you tell him about it?" she
asked. tremblingly, and saw that
her face had grown suddenly gray
and old.
Il viii the moment he comes home,
and am sure he will call upon you

Here was another woman who must
suffer for participating In Harry
Symone's sins, thought as saw
MS mothers bent form going out the

Not only the girl who was the
mother or Harry's children, but also
Eliene and Harry's mother were to

Harry's mother, by word and man
ner. taught her son that every wom-
an who was below him In financial
and intellectual estate should be
proud TO accept anything from his
hands. and Eliene. instead OF being
sweet as she Is now. was always nag.
