PAYS, SAYS HART

The Rev., B. II. Hart. pastor of Fifth
Street Methodist Church, when asked
this morning how he accounted for
the great increase in the financial re-
turns, in membership and the general
attendance at his church for the con-
ference year just closed. said he at
tributed it to the general religious
awakening of the city. seconded un-
questionably by the campaign of news
paper advertising and the notice given
to church matters by the papers.
"Of course" he said, the faithful
work of church people is at the root
of the increased interest in religion,
but l must give great credit to the
value of newspaper advertising ju-
diciouslY used. | commenced the prac-
tice of church publicity last year after
much study and | think the results
are conclusively shown in the greater
attendance at church and the in
creased financial responses of the
people"
In the annual reports read to the
congregation yesterday, which will be
presented to the conference. the Rev.
Mr.. Hart called attention to the fact
that the receipts were larger during
the year by 400 and the member

sociation, with other members of the
fire department, will fight the Walton
bill. Delegations from these bodies,
with representatives from York and
Altoona, will attend a conference at
the Capitol tonight.
The tiremen oppose the bill because
it compels third class cities to have
paid fire departments; and specifies
that the paid departments shall be
under civil service, and only those who
have seen service in the army and
navy are eligible to positions.

OUSTED
FROM HUDSON co.'s
Fails of Reelection to Board
He Seeks to InveStigate-Mys-
terv of Common Stock.

Charles ". Taintor, Of Boston, the
director Of the Hudson Companies, who
as member of committee Of New
England interests has been seeking
proxies from the preferred stockhold-
+ crs 10 GUST the present management,
Yesterday failed not only of his pur-
nose. but also of reelection to the
board. Mr.. Taintor voted only 221O8
shares, as against over 10000 shares
for the board Of directors elected. In
addition TO those chosen to serve an
other year. John r. Waterbury and
Oscar L. Gubelman were placed on the
board to succeed Mr. Taintor and A. 5.
Wing.
The S5,9OO,OO0 common stock Of the
company which stands in the name OF
Henry A. Murray was not voted. De-
spite the fact that he was ousted from
voice in the direction of the affairs
of the Hudson Companies, Taintor re-
iterated his previous assertions that
there should be a rigid investigation Of
its financial transactions. He con-
tinued:
"The preferred stock is held in the
main by friends and business associates
OF those responsible for the Hudson
Companies, who because of other bust
ness associations or connections, or
because of the way i'm which the affairs
of one corporation ramify and run into
those of others, are disinclined 10 push
matters TO an issue. It is evident that
redress within the corporation cannot
be had, and the preferred stockholders
represented by the committee of which
| am a member will now have 10 de-
termine whether to seek IL in the
courts"
Mr.. Taintor said that suit had al
ready been filed in the New York SUI
preme Court by the protesting pre-
ferred stockholders questioning the
legality of the issue of the common
stock.
W. G. Oakman, president Of the Hud-
son COMPANIES made a general denial
of the charges brought by the minority
preferred stockholders concerning the
management Of the company. Profits
for the year 1914 were reported at SAL
l2l
Henry A. Murray. in whose name,
according 70 W. q. Oakman, president
of the Hudson Companies, the $1,000
600 common stock is still held, made
this statement last night:
81 do not know whether the stock Is
in my name now or not. do not know
who owns it,"
Mr.. Murray. who was with the Guar
anty Trust Company for about twenty
years. and retired as a vice-president
in 1904, said he believed he was once
an officer Of the Hudson Companies,
but never was director and does not
own any of its stock.
Mr.. Oakman said that the block of
common stock which is held under
single control was put in the name of
Mr.. Murray about ten years ago and as
to its present owner he stated he did
not know who il was.
