NEW YORK. Jan. 2e-The United

the dividend OF = OF one per cent. on

because OF the poor earnings. which

brief statement. said.
The earnings for the last quarter
OF 1914 were so small that the board
OF directors. after careful considera-

slowly improving. and IL Is hoped the
resumption Of dividends may not be
long deferred"
The regular quarterly dividend OF

ferred stock. although only a very
small part OF the amount required for
this disbursement had been earned
In fact, after payment of the preferred
dividend. which involves an outlay or

mes Smith was Pocahontas and Miss
Emily Griffin was her sister Laugh
ing Star. They each sang several
solos and were very pretty even in
Indian clothes. Miss Caroline Coop
err. as the Light Bringer, held a
large oval hand mirror with which
she cleverly flashed light into the
faces of several handsome young men
while she sang a saucy song The
'PapoOse Lullaby was sung by
Misses Mary Lizzie Benson and An
ME Lucia Warren who knelt behind
a row of cherubs, Ida Brumby, Vir-
ginia Barrett, Ruth Smith and A

the Paleface" and From the Land
of the Sky Blue Water" Miss Nab
ell Griffin, as Winona Girl sang two
pretty songs, one in which there was
a refrain beaten with two bones up
on a small tambourine by a large
chorus of girls. This was very at
tractive indeed Miss Emily Crit

catchy little song, and also a duet
with Capt. Smith, who carried his
mariners compass suspended from his

cons ruity for Capt. Smith to take
his long quill from behind his ear
and write with it without dipping
it into an ink-well.
Mr.. Hemp and Miss Agnes Smith
sang two Duets with dancing steps
that were very graceful AS MI.
Hemp being slender and active and
