STEEL DIVIDENDS
BELOW PREDICTION
Wall Street Had Failed to
Reckon on Need of De-
veIopment.
NO SOUND COMPLAINT
AS TO THE NET EARNINGS
Show Remarkable Advance in Pros
perity of Leading Industry
During Past Year.

NEW YORK, January 29.-Any eX-
pectation that the enormous expansion
of the steel trade and kindred indus
tries during the past year would be
reflected in extraordinarily large divi-
dends to the stockholders of the steel
companies was at least temporarily
sidetracked when the Bethlehem Steel
Company declared its so per cent div
idend on the common stock. and the
United States Steel Corporation de-
clared a IL per cent quarterly dis
bursement on its common stock.
Wall street was disappointed. for
these disbursements represented only
a small proportion of the net earnings
of the giant corporations. But Wall
street has a way of forgetting that the
future development and stability of
dividend-paying corporation is as
important a factor as present-day dis
bursements Even with the current
quotations of these stocks, the divi-
dends referred to put the stock on
per cent basis, leaving out of all con-
sideration the possibilities for future
appreciation based on the expansion OF
the steel trade.

Year of Great Revival.

The tremendous advance in the ac-
tivity and the earnings of the United
States Steel Corporation during the
past year has been, perhaps, the most
remarkable feature of the industrial
this country A little over one year
ago. on account of the falling off in
the earnings of the corporation, the
dividend on the common stock was
first reduced from . to per cent, and
then passed altogether. After the pay
ment of the preferred dividends Tor
the last quarter of 1914 there was
deficit of s1,S47.SS7 from the years
operations compared with a surplus
OF S56.1S5.006 in 1913.
Earnings improved somewhat in the
first quarter of 1915, when they adj
.nent of the preferred dividends there
was a deficit of s5.3S9.S61. 1t was not
until the second quarter of last year
that the first actual signs of the phe-
nomenal expansion in the steel industry
appeared. Net earnings for the June
quarter jumped to S21.95O.0oO. suff1cient
To pay the preferred dividends. make
up the deficit for the preceding quarter
and leave a surplus of SASH. The third
quarter earnings went TO s3S.I1O:e44.
within S7.000,000 of the record, which
left available s1s.03T.241 for surplus.
This remarkable statement caused the
first discussion of a possible resump
ton of the common stock dividend.
which reports have persisted ever since.
In fact, there was some talk before the
October meetings that payments might
be resumed. but there was little disap-
pointment when such action was not
taken. Attention was called to the
great prosperity of the steel corpora
ton two weeks ago. when the directors
announced an increase of 10 per cent
in the wages of common laborers to
take effect February l.

Big February Disbursements.

The February disbursements for in
terest and dividends will exceed $780,
100000, divided equally as to their
source of payment. the dividends on
industrial stocks will total 1913, ,s32.
on steam railways s27.s57.32l and on
street railways s4.Il4.000. Investors
continue to take a hopeful view of the
dividend outlook, looking for initial
disbursements by many compa MES
which have enjoyed a remarkable re-
Nival in activity during the past year.
in many instances surplus earnings
had TO be devoted either to the re-
habilttation of old plants or TO the
building up Of new ones. but this ma kes
them all the more secure for the future
and this security should be reflected
in stockholders profits.
one important company, in announc-
ing an extra dividend payment made
the following significant statement.
The directors expect hereafter to
declare quarterly dividends on a con-
serNatiNe basis and TO consider at the
end OF each fiscal year additional divi-
bends or any), the earnings Of the
nscal year and the financial condition
and the prospects of the company war
rant. Such d policy Will doubtless
meet with the approval of the stock
holders

Enormous Earnings Shown.

The earnings for the fourth quarter,
which were not published until this
week. and which may be considered as
important as the dividend resumption
as market factor. reached the enor-
nous total of s51.232.7ss. or nearly
six million dollars more than the
previous high record. which was made
In the second quarter of 1907. The
corporation has sos. 100000 in cash in
the banks. its plants are working full
time on new orders booked at very
profitable prices. and all old orders
taken at bargain prices early in 1914
are filled and out of the way. This
makes the outlook for large earnings
during 1916 for both the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation and the United States
Steel Corporation very bright.
Investors in recent months have been
buying their securities with an eye to
dividends On the whole, the results
have been very satisfactory. and the
country's standard Industrial and rail-
road companies have given very good
accounts Of themselves in so far as
their stock holders are concerned.

TO ExHUME BODY FOR
POISON EVIDENCE

New Bern. n. c. Jan. 25.-Some
time during the present week, possibly
Wednesday, Drs. ]. +. Patterson and
Raymond Pollock. of the stan or 81
Lakes Hospital. will leave this city
for O point about six miles from ktns-
ton where they will exhume the body
OF Mrs. Rachael Hcpew ell, wife or W.
r. Hopeweil who Is now confined In
the Carven County Jail on warrant
charging him with having caused her
death by giving her poison.
Mrs. Hopeweli. who died at her
home Bridgeton last June. died under
circumstances rather unusual and this
lead to the poison theory. After ex-
huming the body. Drs Patterson and
Pollock will forward the viscera TO w.
A. Wfthers. State chemist, for an
examination for the purpose OF de-
termintng IL there Is now any poison
In the remains.
On the examination made by the
chemists much depends. The question
has been asked here OF tate IL the fail
ure to find any trace OF poison Will
prove Concusiveiy that the woman did
not meet her death from such a cause
Physicians declare that this is not posi-
tive proof. One physician cited case
In which a man had disd from stEych4

when an examination of his body was
made, there was no trace of this poison
to be found. A---

America, and also in the United States,
in describing it as obsolete will fail
absolutely In their purpose and logic.
A distinguished Yale professor, for
whom have profound regard leaving
the safe fields of archaeological study.
and venturing into the complex rela~
tons OF international politics. calls the
Monroe Doctrine an "obsoIete shib-
boleth." How in the world any one
man can assume to pass that judg-
ment upon a great policy or doctrine,
I cannot possibly understand. I fear
that In his academic viewpoint he has
exaggerated the Importance which the
Latin-American countries attach to
Monroe Doctrine, and he has attribut
ed to that much assailed and suffering
doctrine all kinds of faults which ares
due to entirely other and different
causes, such as North American igno-
rance and lack of appreciation OF
South America.
In conclusion, the Monroe Doctrine
In Its final analysis, in my opinion,
and, as / say. 1 do not for minute
state these things in a didactic way
my judgment may be entirely wrong,
will continue to be a great interna-
tional principle only to the degree that
1t Is evolved into this greater Pan
American policy: and from doctrine
of the United States alone into poll
icy of all the American republics, and
now IL you follow men, though II 10
a little complicated. to the degree that
1t is evolved from being subjective on
the part of the United States alone
towards all the other American re-
pubiics as objective to being subjec-
tive on the part OF each towards each
and all the others as objective. That
IL, making each and every American
republic, instead of being Just the poll
Icy of the United States alone towards
all these other countries, To be still
clearer In my idea I would say that
I mean to evolve the Monroe Doctrine
from being subjective on the part of
the United States towards the other
American republics in an objective pos
sition. to being subjective on the part
OF each and all towards In turn each
and all as objective.
Then we will have achieved, in
my opinion, that ideal. unseifish. fra
ternal relationship of tie American
governments and peoples. which will
give a new worth and a permanent.
acceptable significance to r manner
lean relationship, Pan-American ac-
