Some of the Guesses.

However much the Street may be
divided over the dividend question, the
only difference of opinion regarding
the Steel Corporations earnings for
the quarter is the amount. Every one
admits that new record in net has
been established, and the thing that
interests most at the moment IS the
margin by which the previous record
$50, 0,7l3,624. made in the first quarter
is surpassed Estimates of the quar-
terly earnings, as discussed in the dis
trict yesterday, ranged from S72,OOO,OOO
20 sSO.000,000 for the second quarter.
Cuuously enough, some Of the insiders
were reported among the more opti-
mistic. with estimates Of S7S,000,000 TO
$4,000 900. The most popular guess
was S75,0O0,000. Figures compiled by
an authority in the trade-a man who
is conservative and whose opinion car
ries weight-estimate the earnings at
$4,000, 600 This estimate put April
net al S2l $1,000, May at S24,300.000
and June at better than S26,000,000.
Shipments were estimated during the
quarter at 392O,000 tons of steel. COM
pared with $4,000 tons in the first
quarter, the estimated increase in
earnings being due 10 the higher prices
~ which deliveries were made.

K-BOATS WAIT FOR REPAIRS
Lack of Funds to Finish Work Holds
'1uvisible' Submarines.

The "invisible" submarine K-boats
will be visible at the navy yard for
az least a week longer. The undersea
craft. which, it is believed, will hide
behind their own colors on the high
seas. need more repairs before sailing.
and the navy yard officers have not the
money to complete the job. Industrial
Manager George +. Burd is on a short
leave Of absence, it was said at the
navy yard last night, and none OF the
officers would volunteer any informa-
tion.
There are four Of the K-boats, which
arc under the command of Lieutenant
Roman c. Grady. They are going 20
New London and from there TO join
the Atlantic feet But unless the
money is sent TO complete the repairs,
II is believed that by the time the
submarines are ready 20 leave the
maneuvring Of the Atlantic fleet Will
be finished.

Southern Pacifc's Good Showing.

The first Of the June batch Of rail
way earnings came 10 hand yesterday
in the statement Of the Southern Pa
cihc system. As was expected, the

ceding months. June gross increased

GAS COMPANY SEEKS
TO DODGE 80.CENT LAW
May Grant Temporary lnjunc-
ton. Justice Clark Intimates.

Justice Clark in the Supreme Court
reserved decision yesterday after
hearing argument for and against an
Injunction asked by the Kings County
Lighting Company 10 restrain the
city and state from enforcing the SO
cent gas law in n sertain section Of
Brooklyn.
Former Justice Morgan J. O'Brien
for the gas company, contended the
law was confscatory so far as his
client was concerned. Edgar Brom-
berger, Deputy Attorney General, in
opposing the application for an In
junction, told the court something
about the finances of the Kings
County Lighting Company. He said
It's predecessor, the Kings County Gas
and Illuminating Company, when 1t
was absorbed in 1904 by the present
company, had property and improve
ments worth S2,441,997.
"The present companN" he said,
"entered on its books under perma-
nent investment $4,4S2 1886, or s2,04l, :
900 more than the amount at which
the old company had carried its fixed
capital. II issued $2,000,000 capital
stock whore there had been 100000
and added s1.112,000 10 the outstand-
ing 81 ,OOO.O 600 OF funded debt"
Judge OBrien said the company
could not supply gas at so cents n
thousand cubic feet and live up to the
requirements of the Public Service
Commission. The cost Of producing
and distributing gas last year, said
Mr.. O'Brien, was II cents per thou
sand.
Justice Clark said he would be in
clined to grant a temporary injunction
pending the trial of the action in the
fall. providing the company would de-
posit with the court all sums collected
above the S0-cent rate, 20 be held
pending the outcome of the case.
