NUDGE DENIES REPORTS
Saws Rock Island Receivers
Predicted No Big Surplus.

Chicago, May 2s.- Concerning re-
ports published i'll New York that the
Rock Island receivers have compiled
figures which indicate surplus for
the current calendar year of not less
than S3.29S. 900, making no allowance
for depreciation, II. L. Nudge, former
president of the system, and now with
Judge Jacob L. Dickinson, one OF the
receivers. said:
1--WE sent a statement several days
ago 70 the stockholders committee and
to the members of the various reorgan-
ization committees, showing the pay
ments we would have TO meet in the
ensuing year and probable earnings
month by month.
This statement was not intended Tor
the public, but for the information OF
stockholders only. ] haven't these hg-
ures at hand, and don't know whether
We would care 70 have them made pub
lie now. The statement was largely
guesswork as far as the probable earn
ings were concerned There was no
surplus predicted, and If there should
be a surplus il will be small one and
not worthy Of much space in the news
papers.
1--WE have issued no figures on CAPT
tal requirements. The statement in
c.uGed cash requirements only. Some
body down in New York probably got
hold Of one Of these statements and
figured out surplus based on our
estimates OF the probable earnings as
compared with the monthly oNpendi-
tsires. As | said, those figures are
r:erely approximate and show nothing
definite"

INTER-MET. MERGER
NOT ILLEGAL-P S. c.
Amalgamation with Finance and
Holding Corporation Will
Write Off Depreciation.

Upon an opinion Of George s. Cole
man. counsel, the Public Service Com
mission decided yesterday that the pro-
posed consolidation OF the Inter
borough Metropolitan Company with
the Finance and Holding Corporation
was not in violation of Section 81 of
the Public Service law. This section
prohibits street railroad corporation
from acquiring the capital stock of a
similar corporation without the con-
sent of the commission.
The commission, which a month ago
on the suggestion of Commissioner
Hayward had sent a request to Presi-
dent Shonts of the marlborough Rapid
Transit Company and Of the New York
City Railways Company for complete
details Of the proposed merger, decided
that il had no jurisdiction in the case.
Commissioner Hayward cast the only
negative vote. The affirmative votes
were those Of Chairman Mccall and
Commissioners Williams and Wood.
Commissioner Cram was not present.
In his explanation President Shonts
said that neither the lnterborough
Rapid Transit Company nor the New
York City Railways Company was a
party TO the consolidation, which would
in no way affect the relation of these
roads TO the public. He said the plan
had the hearty support of the bankers
who have purchased the bonds Of the
Rapid Transit Company, and added:
with respect to the proposed con
solidation, it is proper to bear in mind
that the necessary effect thereof Will
be TO place the declared capital Of the
now comuauV representing the Inter
borough Metropolitan Company by
merger at q sum which is in con-
formity with the net value of the as
sets of that company over and beyond
rs debts.
For a long period the company has
recognized the desirabilty of taking
this course, and thereby writing off
upon the books Of the company the
very large depreciation which has en-
sued in It's original investments IN the
stocks Of the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company and the Metropolitan
Securities Company

METHODISTS PLAN
LAYMAN MOVEMENT
Aim Is to Add to Member.
ship and Increase
Money Gifts.

Under direction Of District Superin-
tendent MacRossie Methodsts OF New
York have carried to success within
the last few months a new plan for the
development of Methodist laymen. So
we'll has it worked that announcement
is made OF larger plans within the next
month. and next fall still larger ones.
The scheme has extended to Method
ism Of the entire North. and has been
named the Methodist Forward Move
ment.
In the Hudson River towns and in
this city large number Of laymen's
conferences have just been held. The
instructors in them have been Bishop
Wilson, Dr. ". II. Morgan. OF Harlem;
DR.. Allen MacRossie and Fred Fisher.
In effect it is a training school to in
form laymen. to inspire them and to
start them at personal work in their
respective churches. Within the next
fortnight or so a dozen or more OF
these conferences are to be held.
Already plans are complete for the
years wind-up next December. Bish-
ops Hughes. Mcdowell, Henderson.
Anderson and Wilson are to take part.
and in every Methodist church there
are to be local meetings on efficient
evangelism. concluding with mass
meeting for laymen. The aims are to
increase memberships in Methodist
churches. to increase the money gifts,
to bring about efficient management of
church affairs and to develop and train
personal volunteer workers. The whole
plan is declared to be the most up to
date in Methodism.
The national scheme has for its aims
the adding Of 100000 members to
American Methodism this year, the en-
listing and enrolling of 100000 Meth
odists as personal volunteer workers,
and the securing of 1000 young men
and women to enter the ministry, the
deaconess field. to go as missionaries.
So carefully are Methodists going into
details that they have committees to see
husbands whose wives are Methodists,
but they are not to see wives whose
husbands are Methodists but they not,
and parents of Sunday school boys and
girls who do not attend church services
or contribute.
Methodists are putting forward the
plea also that putting men to work not
only gets work done. but 1t is the best
form of evangelism. The programme fer
the year contemplates something which
is new in Methodism. the observance
Of Advent. Passion Week, Good Friday
and Easter. At New York rally Just
held nearly one thousand men at
tended.
