Plan to Readjust
 Capital and Debt of
 the Missouri Pacific

New York July 1.-The plan for re- adjusting the capital and debt of the Missouri Pacific railway and the St Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway company which has the ap- proval of the committee of bondholders and shareholders, were issued today
 The committee and their readjustmenl
 managers Kuhn, Loeb .& Co, announce
 that provisions must be made to meet
 obligations for the next five and a hail
 years amounting to $79,S0S,000. The reorganizers intend to leave un-
 disturbed security in the present capi- talizaton amounting to $157, 166,000 The committee intends to exchange va rious existing bond issues aggregatins SIPS, ,169, 900 for new securities as fol lows;
 Six million, nine hundred and twenty three thousand one hundred and twenty dollars new first and refunding per cent bonds; s44,399,292 new general mortgage per cent bonds; s7e,751, ,ss5 new convertible per cent preferred stock, convertible into common stock at par; sS2,S39,5s5 new common stock exclusive of common stock to be re- served for issue upon conversion ot preferred stocll).
 The statement says that the Missouri Pacific system has no means of raising more than S79,000,00 to meet it's mol C pressing obligations. Its credit is SC impaired, says the report, that the
 market price of its per cent gold bonds and 3 per cent refunding bonds has fallen to about 40 per cent.
 Chief among the causes to which the present troubles of the company are due are .unremunerative freight and passenger rates; heavy increases in taxation and wages and burdensome re quirements imposed by public authori- ties; large investments in the securitIcs of other railroad companies, which, al though they may have been justified al the time they were made, have since become unproductive."

 pear in public or not" said Miss Green. The use of good diction, firm and artc-
 ulate the management, of the body, graceful carriage and pleasing address is all so important, and especially should the overgrown girls and boys have the advantage of study and development along these lines It Is not so much after all what we. say as how we say it. Poise of the body graceful presence, the nat ural use of the hands and feet, and ayoid- ing unattractive facial expression all contribute to the finished quality of an actor, society leader a public speaker, or any one else. and above all articula- ton, the proper enunciation and pro- nunciation of words. is the most. impor- tant step in modern education. There is nothing so enjoyable, we all know, as to go to the theatre, and if we are are not lucky in the choice of seats, and must occupy the last row in the orchestra, for instance, to be able to hear every word
 that is spoken from the stage MT. Frederick Warde has the power of doing this so has Mr. Robert Mantell; Mrs. LeMoyne is another who is perfect in this beautiful art, each being master of dic- ton and enunciation. Children cannot begin the study of expression too early, because it is when their little minds are young and susceptible to training and correction, their tongues easily controlled and their appreciation developed, that they acquire more easily than any other time the art of correct speaking, which after all is the true meaning of expression

EXPERIMENT station WORKS.
TOFORE ATPLANTERS' session

Messrs. Lidgate, Eckart, Penhallow,
Moir, Hagens, Tenney, Dowsett, Scott,
Webster and Waldron taking part.
For Unirrieated Tests.
Secretary Smith thought a substa.
ton for unirrigated plantations de-
sirable, as much of the work done at
Honolulu was for the exclusive benefit
of irrigated estates. Mr.. Eckart said
experiment station work was only a
guide and plantations must settle their
peculiar difficulties and maintain
their own trial plots. The motion car.
ried.
An animated discussion succeeded
on the questions of ratoons, blowing
under of trash, burning before har-
vestfng, etc., in which the usual d.
vergence of views based on individual
experiences was manifested. On the
subject of one-year ratoons DR.. Agee
said the superior results from May to
May cane over January to January
cane were surprising, and George
Ewart recalled that in Kohala 81 years
ago harvesting one-year ratoons from
March to May was always practised.
The disposition Of trash, in the opfn
ion OF several speakers, was mostly
a question of labor. Others held that
burning was detrimental to yield OF
sugar. Mr.. Bull said that the burning
OF aNfield meant the burning of SUI
gar, stating: .At Oahu we have fields
that have never been plowed since
the plantation was first established in
1897. These fields have been ratooned
year after year and still yield nine
tons Of sugar per acre.
DR.. Agee in answer to question
said that the anomala beetle original
ed in a family of insects that did not
eat live plants. Therefore, If the
trash is turned under anomala might
change back to his original diet and
let the cane roots alone.

Decision Reached That Each
Plantation Should Maintain
Its Own Trial Plots

Experiment station subjects again
held the attention of the members at
the afternoon session Of the Planters
Association yesterday.
Director Agee read report on the
Lahaina disease and called on p. s.
Burgess. chief chemist of the station,
for supplementary report on anal
yses of soils and subsoils on irrigated
plantations, on Maui, Oahu and Kauai,
where the disease had appeared as
well as where IT had been absent.
Most Of the soils where the disease
had shown itself contained toxic
amounts of carbonate OF soda, and Mr..
Burgess concluded that the disease
was probably caused by undue aceu-
mutation Of soda salts in the colloidal
films surrounding the soil particles.
George F. Renton- told about uncom-
pleted experiments with gypsum at
Eva to counterfeit the disease. DR..
Lyon, who mentioned his suggestion
OF soil poisons as the cause of the
trouble six years ago, Mr.. Hagens and
r. F. Baldwin took part in the dis
cussion. +,
Need of substation on the island
of Hawaii having been stated by the
director. the question was discussed
by Mr.. Campsie and E. F. Bishop, and
at the suggestion Of President Bot
tomley a motion was made by Mr..
Dowsett, seconded by Mr. Moir, that
the matter be referred to the expert
ment station committee with power to
act. This was debated interestingly,
with facetious references to the pre-
ponderance Of the Caledonian element
in managerial ranks on the Big Island,

ers' and fancy grades not produced
locally, as, in ordinary grades, the
country makes more than is needed
for consumption, and the high retail
price is maintained only by a combin-
alton of producers that export all sur
plus. AS five modern centrals are
about to begin operations there is no
likelihood of increased importations.
A great deal Of sugar is consumed
in Venezuela, but nearly all of it is in
the form of the brown cakes known
as "papelon." Some of these are ex-
ported to England, but there seems to
be no demand for them elsewhere
abroad. Trinidad ships some brown
sugar to the. eastern ports of the re.
public. 1t is not believed that there
is, any sugar trade in Venezuela large

NO PROSPECT OF
BIG SUGAR TRADE
WITH VENEZUELA

The Venezuelan import tariff with
all surfaces added, taxes muscoyado
sugar at the rate of $3.42, and white
or refined sugar at $10.27 per 100
pounds, gross weight The retail
price is rs cents per kilo or approx
mately II cents per pound, for the
domestic product, which is fairly
white but lumpy. Importations of re-
fined sugar were $4,000 pounds for
1913 and 1882 pounds for the six
months ended June 80. 1914.
AS there are 100000 people in
Venezuela, it is seen that in the ex-
ceptionally prosperous year 1913, the
per capita importation of refined sug-
ar was only one-eighteenth of pound.

sprang down and offered hand to as
slst his charming fellow passenger to
alight, and she, with kindly under
standing, again accepted his aid, to
Blll's chagrin, and they walked up the
path side by side.

She was taller than most women
and gave out an air Of fine unconscious
health which made her good to see, al
though her face was too broad to be
pretty. She smiled easily, and her
teeth were white and even. Her hand
he noticed was as strong as steel and
brown as leather. Her neck rose from
her shoulders like that Of an acrobat,
and she walked with the sense Of Sc
curlty which comes from self reliant
strength.
She was met at the door by old lady
