B. R. T. REPORTS
GAIN IN SURPLUS
Excluding COney Island &
Brooklyn Earnings Passen-
ger Revenues Decrease.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany, in its report for the fiscal year
ended June 80, issued yesterday,
showed a surplus available for dvi-
bends of $5,512,561 This is equal to
7.39 per cent on the S74,520,000 stock
outstanding, as against 7.13 per cent
earned on the same stock the previous
year
Gross earnings last year totalled
S26,427, 6s7, an increase of $500 37, but
an advance Of S965.S29 in operating ex-
penses brought about loss of S96,392
in net earnings, which amounted TO
Sl1,467, 305 The increase of Sl96,S56 in
surplus was due mainly to a reduction
of S306,305 in charges and taxes. The
reserve fund Of the system for depre-
citation was credited with s256,3S5,
against a debit in the preceding year
Of $35.l9l.
For the first time in the history Of
the company the report discloses a de
crease in passenger earnings, eXclud-
ing the income of the newly acquired
Coney Island & Brooklyn Railroad
Company's lines. This result is at
tributed by President T. 5. Williams in
his statement 10 stockholders TO the
general depression in business reflect

toward economy in expenditure, and
also 10 the liberal increase in transfer

LORD GLANTAWE DEAD
Picturesque Peer Started as a
Tin Worker in Wales.

London, July 28.-The death of Lord
Glantawe, which occurred yesterday,
removes picturesque personality from
English public life. John Jones Jen-
kins. az he was known until 1906, when
he was raised to the peerage. was one
of the most notable Welshmen of re-
cent times. The spectacle of a man
once engaged in manual labor raising
himself to be not only leader of COM
mercial men in his district but also a
very popular figure in London society,
is a remarkable one. IL could only be
achieved by industry. intelligence and
self-culture. and in these respects Lord
Glantawe was exceptionally well
equipped.
The popular legend was that he could
neither read nor write English when
fifteen years old. IL is certain that at
this age he attended night school. but
this was probably for the purpose of
acquiring some accomplishments of
which he recognized the value. As a
TIN worker he was Jealous supporter
Of friendly societies and local liter
airy societies. He soon became a mas
ter in the tin plate trade, 10 which he
subsequently owed his great riches.
lie was three times Mayor OF Swan
sea and represented a Welsh cOnstit-
uency in two Parliaments.

Annual Meeting.

Berlin, July 81 (via Rotterdam For
the first time in its history, the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company has
failed to issue its annual report and
call a general meeting of its stockhold-
ers. II is too early to determine the
war loss of the company. The reg
ular business for the year comprised
only seven months, and during that
time fell Off, owing to the serious com
petition and low freight rates and the
decrease III the passenger traffic, par
ticuarly of the immigrant class.
Despite the war, the North German
Lloyd made important acquisitions in
l9l4-15. The total tonnage Of vessels
under construction is 64,039. Owing
to prompt measure by captains at the
outbreak of the war, the majority of
the vessels were ,ble to reach neutral
ports. The greatest losses the COM
pany sustained were the Kaiser VII
helm der Crosse and the Gneisenau,
sunk in Antwerp Harbor. The fate Of
six steamers already sold in an Eng
lish prize court is undetermined.

Urge Combination in Business

Chicago, July q. Practical sugges-
tons for the improvement of business
conditions and the enlargng Of this
country's commerce with South America
and other foreign countries were pre-
scented to the Federal Trade Commis-
sion at the opening Of two-days' ses-
sion here to-day.
Samuel " HASTINGS. president Of the
Illinois Manufacturers Association,
said:
at is quite possible there should be
combinations of business men in the
same line to fix prices for foreign
trade. Combinations in Germany have
built up the large foreign trade OF that
country.
ave hope that the Federal Trade
Commission will find II possible to
urge upon Congress change in the
Federal Reserve act that will enable
bankers of Chicago and the Middle
West TO subscribe for stock IN foreign
banking institutions. We are not dl-
rectly represented in South and Cen
trail America and are at a commercial
disadvantage"
1--WE have to find credit 90 enable
men to handle the products which we
wish TO export" said George VI. Reyn-
olds, president of the Continental and
Commercial Bank, "and credit can only
be extended II business is stable. An
ideal method would be the Crganiza-
ton OF banks in South America. for
example, where the dominating capital
would be furnished by banks of TINS
country, through subscriptions by sew
elal banks, and then interesting locally
as much South American CAPITAL as
possible, having IL supervised BY

the people should be in charge Of men
who know the language, practices and

IRy Cahlc 70 The Tribune

London, July 27.-Henry James was
granted papers of naturalizatiol on

ance as a British subject. "All lovers
Of literature in this country" SAYS
THE Times" which announces the
naturalization, will welcome the de-
csion of this writer OF genius. whose
works are the abiding possession of all
English speaking people, and they will
welcome it all the more on account Of
the reasons which Mr.. James gives in
his petition" He says:
Because of his having lived and
worked in England for the best part
of forty years, because of his attach
ment 70 the country and his sympathy
with it and its people, because Of long
friendships and associations and in
terests be has formed here, these last
including the acquisition of some prop
erty, all of which things have brought
to a head his desire to throw his moral
weight and personal allegiance for
whatever they may be worth in the
scale of the contending nations in
present and future fortune"
Henry James's friends have long
known how intense were his sym
pathies with the cause of the Allies.
