value Of the fleet has been appreciated

figure it their own way.
Earnings May Shrink.
Regarding the prospects for earn
ings for 1915, Il IL my opinion that.
even If the war lasts that length OF
time. these earnings will be at least 20
per cent less in 1915. for the reason
that | feel confident the British gov.

very shortly limit the charges TO be
made on various kinds OF freight, such
as grain. munitions of war. etc; 70 per
cent loss from these limitations ap-
pears 10 me very conservative.
Regarding tho controversy between
the various committees and the IRE
auent reports Of probable compromise
I have reason 10 feel quite sure That
since the 18th Of last September. whcn
/ had y conference with the bondhold-
ers committee. and II was agreed tnaJ
the $3.50 assessment was TO be omit
ted for which concession ] agreed 10

of the present preferred stock.
Funds Needed 10 Retire Bonds.
"Rcrarding the prospect of raising
funds 10 nav of the bonds at par ana
interest. there are, all told, about 800
OOO 900 bonds: 10 pay these OH at par
and interest would require about soZ'-
600 coo cash. As there Is certainly Tess

$50 900 900 will have 20 be sold to raise

course. have 10 be placed before the
preferred stock.
The reason the gross net earnings
are only about $4,000 900 in the face
Of such reports Of huge earnings OF IN
dividual steamers, is, first largely IN
creased operating expenses, the two
principal items of which are war RISK
and marine insurance tthe vessels are
now fully insured against both hazards
nt very heavy cost, while before the
war little insurance was carried except
on the Olympic; secondly, the SLOW

NO BOYCOTT YET IN
SOUTHERN CITIES

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 30.-Southerners
paid more this year than ever before
for edibles commonly found on a
Thanksgiving dinner table. The aver
age increase could not be determined
because OF the lack OF reliable sta
tistics, but from all the larger cities
came reports of higher prices for near
ly everything. Although figures of
turkeys had jumped from Ave to ten
cents a pound in different cities there
was no concerted action In the South
aiming at boycott and merchants
here reported trade about up to nor
NAL. Memphis reported decreased
demand for Thanksgiving specia1ties.
Even with reduced prices forced in
the North and East by recent boycotts
Southern consumers were much more
fortunate than those of other sec
lions.
One arrest In Atlanta today was ac-
credited to high prices for turkeys. j.
Fl. Falk. 4 restaurant keeper, was
charged with doing q butcher business
without \ license. A few days ago
Falk purchased 5000 pounds OF dressed
turkey at Gainesville. Ca. and follow
ing his usual custom. he said, he sold
tho birds before preparing them for
the table. Hts price was s7h cents a
pound, at which he stated yesterday
he made a fair profit. Wholesalers
were charging 37M to 80 cents a pound
and the average retail price was 80
to IS cents. II complaint was made. to
the police they did not make 1t pub

JUDGE RICHARDSON
WILL PAROLE HAMMETT

Another chance will probably be
given w. F. Hammett. twenty-five
years old. recently convicted and Civ
en- one year in the penitentiary on tho
charge of stealing an Overland auto
mobile from E. A. Barlow. OF lO12
Park Avenue. Judge Richardson gave
assurances this week that the young
man would be paroled conditionally
today. 1t is understood
Hammett may be arrested again by
the police after he Is paroled by
Judge Richardson, as 1t Is thought
that he Is wanted In Hampton for an
alleged automobile theft In that city.
Hampton authorities telegraphed to
the Richmond police. soon after Ham
mett was arrested. asking that Ham
NETT be held. but az yet they have not
produced warrant for this arrest and
IT Is not known whether or not the
local authorities will take Hammett
into custody again.
