ORIENT ASKS TOO MUCH
Permission to Issue II Millions in Sc
curitieS Is Denied.

Orient railway officials will not be
permitted by the public utilities com
| mission to issue Il million dollars
worth of bonds. This action was an
nounced by the commission today. bas-
| ed it was stated, on the limited invest
ment and holdings of the road. That
the road may file a supplemental petit
ton, the commission will hold in abey-
ance a formal order
Properties of the Orient railway
| company are not sufficient, the COM
mission held, to warrant the approval
of a bond issue such as was recently
sought by promoters OF the company.
Even when the extensions are made.
/ the commission found that the total
investment would be but SO million
dollars little more than fifty per
cent of the desired bond issue.
Judge E F. Foley of the commission
stated today that the commission did
not desire to prevent the reorganiza-
ton program of the company For
that reason it was asserted that Off
Gals of the road would be notified of
the attitude of the commission, but
that a formal order would not be is
sued at this time. Such action was
taken, it was stated, that the road
might file a supplemental petition
seeking approval of smaller bond is
sue.
The attitude of the commission re-
garding denominations is not such as
would permit the approval of the II
HlllllOn uOlldr DOIu issue, SdIu JuuSe
Foley. when the proposed extensions
of the road are made, the total invest
ment of the company for construction
and equipment will amount to but SO
million dollars. This is not consider
ed sufficient to warrant such a large
issue
In a recent hearing before the public
utilities commission, attorneys for the
Orient explained that money was need
ed to pay off outstanding accounts and
to ,IAf1 4I,a iaI1i 70
Kansas City. They asked approval of
bond issues totalling II million dollars.
A schedule of the assets of the COM
pany, filed with the utilities commits
sion, showed total property holdings of
but SO million dollars even after the
road entered Kansas City.
Whether the road will amend its pc
tition and ask for smaller bond issue,
is not known in Topeka. Until a de-
finite statement is secured, however, a
final order in the case will be held up.

Germans Fight Disease.
The German authorities are strug-
Cling desperately with epidemicS of
disease which have come as a result
of sanitary conditions in the rava ged
district and are making slow but sure
hea dway. Cholera, typhoid fever,
scarlet fever and diphtheria have been
stamped out or are under control in
most districts. Statistics which APP
pear to be authoritative show that
from 100000 to 100000 persons are
being supported in Warsaw alone.
This number is steadily increasing.
Meanwhile, funds raised for charitable
purposes have been virtually exhaust
ed. These funds, amounting to sew
eral million rubles, were given by Pol
ish and Jewish IMITATION neutrals,
and the Russian government. With
this money it has been possible here
tofore to distribute 1,25O,000 portions
of soup, bread and meat monthly.
Less than one-third of these food sup
plies has been paid for by those who
received them. The cost of the food
distributed free has amounted to 49,
900 rubles a month
Can't Import Supplies.
The food department of the Warsaw
government which has been selling at
cost prices has been obliged to restrict
TINS work because OF the exhaustion or
the supply of foodstuffs and the inn
possibility of importing from neutral
countries. The greatest need is for
fats, butter, peas, rice, and beans. The
citizens committee claims that all
flour, corn and FEED materials have
been confiscated by the military au-
thorities or taken to Prussia. The
German government has given assur-
ances that 80 per cent of what has
been taken will be returned when
milled. The Germans have taken
charge of the potato crop, which they
declare is being given exclusively to
the civil population in districts not oc-
cupied by the military. Expectations
from one district to another are for
hidden.
