WABASH SALEP
PUT $21,OOO,OOO
Reorganization Il Forecast
Through the Action Of Fed
eral District Court.
KUHN. LOEB L co. NAY AID

Wabash railroad reorganization Is the
next big thing before the financial COM
munlty. as was indicated yesterday by
dispatches from st. Louis telling Of an
order issued by Judge Il. Il. Adams In
the Federal District Court there for the
sale Of tho property. The court ordered
that the receivers obtain $21, 200, 900 for
ths road.
A reorganization plan has been prac-
tically agreed upon by the principal
security holders. Kuhn, Loeb q Co.. II
is understood. will underwrite the plan
II II Is accepted by the Ave state rail-
road commissions which must give their
consent
A plan which was put into ANAL shape
last May got as far as the State Rail-
road Comm ssions. but was then with
drawn because Of the dismal outlook
for railroad earnings. This was done
before tho Interstate Commerce Commits
sion gave permission for certain in
creases in rates.
Some of the features OF the plan
talked over In January and February
OF this year included the raising OF
s27,00o.00o. partly by assessment on the
two classes of stock and partly by the
sale OF a new security to be subscribed
for at par by the per cent. bond
holders. II Is believed that changes
have been made in this plan.
The s2i ,0oo.0o0 set by the court as
the sum 10 be obtained for the road is
$l3 100000 less than the former sum.
which II Is said the receivers could not
obtain. OF the s21 100000 named about
100000 will be required for paying
Off receivers certificates and the balance
TO pay the expenses of receivcrship.
The joint committee Of the security
holders which has worked out the present
plan Is composed OF Winslow s. Pierce.
James y. Wallace. Alvin w. Krech. Ber-
nard NJ. Baruch. William A. Read and

Repetition Of Tuesday Morning S
Raid Expected on British Coast
Big STORM MAY INTERVENE
German Aircraft, However, Cemon-
strate that Rough Weather Is
Not a Deterrent.

London, Aug. 11.-Fourteen per-
sons were killed and fourteen others
wounded by n Zeppelin raid on the
English coast late Monday night and
early yesterday morning. 1t is be-
lieyed that four or five airships were
employed.
dispatch from Holland says that
five more airships passed over that
country, going in northwestefly di-
rection, yesterday morning, so that
another air raid on England is ex-
pected.
The continual bad weather which
has been prevailing in England would,
it is believed, prevent Zeppelins from
coming on Monday night, but their ap
pearance indicates that weather is
not a deterrent to them. There was
a big storm on the East Coast yester-
day, however, and this might make it
dangerous for airships to visit that
locality now.
The dispatch indicating the liteli-
hood of another raid was sent TO the
Central News from Amsterdam. 1t
said that five Zeppelins were sighted
yesterday morning off Vlieland, near
the entrance to the Zuyder Zee. They
were taking northeasterly course,
in the direction of the Scottish coast.

A STITCH IN TIME
MIR. Sheldon Calls Attention to Condi.
dition of Morgan Park Grandstand


ditlon of Morgan Park Grandstand
Editor of The Banner. The extra
ordinary strain TO which the grand
stand in the Morgan lot was subject
ed last Friday by its load of people
(probably about thirty tom in a gale
of wind, impelled me to make a cur
sorry examination to satisfy myself
whether the people were not in great
er peril on the grand stand than they
would have been in the Chautauqua
tent.
The structure was built of light tim
bers, never too strong, in the first
place. Many of the timbers and sup
ports have become rotten or greatly
weakened by time and the elements
to which, for the last seven years, the
structure has been constantly expos
ed One of the braces pried from its
moorings with my cane without bend
ing the stick. The foundations un.
derneath the timhers have settled out
of level and out of alignment and are
very insecure.
Lest otherwise Bennington be
awakened to the mconceivable hor-
ror and desolation which would result
from the possible and not improbable
collapse of the grand stand with it's
over hanging roof, let the public be
barred therefrom as place Of public
assembly until the structure has been
properly repaired and strengthened
and absolutely secure. In case of
death or injury, resulting from the
insuiiieiency of the grand stand, the
question of liability for damages so
occasioned might become interesting.
Yours for public safety,
W. b. Sheldon.

LABOR IN CONVENTION
Vermont Branch of Federation in
Session in Burlington.

Burlington, Aug 10-Declaring that
conditions are regarding wages and
employment among the unorganized
marble workers of Vermont are
disgrace to the fair name of the state,
Fred X. Suitor of Barre, president of
Vermont branch Federation of Labor,
strongly urged the so delegates in
14th annual convention assembled
here today to take off their coats and
go to work for unionizing labor in
Vermont. Among other things Mr.
Suitor said:
There is n great work to be done
in the legislative field also before Yer
mont can be classed among the lead
ing states for favorable labor legis-
lation the past two sessions of our
state Legislature have, however,
made more progress in this direction
than all previous ones and we are led
to believe had it not been for the de-
plorable situation in Barre last spring
time while the Legislature was in ses
sion, caused by an element losing
their heads and being misled by some
would-be progressives, but really reac
tionaries, measures requested and
worked for by organized labor might
have received more favorable act
ion"
Governor Gates and Mayor Drew
welcomed the delegates.
The convention will adjourn on
Thursday. A mass meeting was held
at city hall tonight addressed by Mr..
Mccarthy, national organizer of the
American Federation of Labor. A
banquet will be held at Hotel Sher-
wood tomorrow evening.
