D. {. e " X. R. 70 SEGREGATE
 COAL AND RAH PROPERTIES, ? WOULD DOUBLE ITS CAPITAL
SEPARATION WOULD
 BENEFIT CONCERN
Under Present Methods With Assets Combined Ip- crease of Capital Stock is Made Impossible.

Washington. Sept. 1I.-The Della ware. Lackawanna and Western rail- road applied to the interstate com merce com mission today for permis- sion to segregate its rail and coal properties.
 The company also asked permis- sion to issue additional capital stock to the full amount of it's surplus now estimated at about s90,000,000. Its present capitalization is less than s4S,000,o00 the application said. while it's rail investment exceeds SS7.0OO,- 900.
 Has Dual Capacity.
 Since early in its history" the ap- plication continued, applicant has been functioning in the dual capa- city of coal mining company. holding in fee and by lease and operating large tracts of anthracite coal lands, and of transportation company. oper- ating an important system of rail- roads.
 Such ownership and operation. of coal lands has subjected it to laws preventing it from expanding its cap itaiization to keep pace with the growth of it's assets as it would oth- erwise have had the right to do. It is now ready to segregate its coal properties from it rail properties and to thereafter continue as a transporta- tion company only and thus place it. self in position. subject to this com missions assent, to accept the ben efits of general laws of Pennsylvan- ia permitting it to increase it's cap utilization to more nearly conform to it's assets and to what such capitali- zation would doubtless have been but for the operation of such restrictive laws.
 Put Co. in Had Light.
 The declaration of dividends at a rate abnormally high when comparcc with the dividend rate of other rail- roads operating in the same territory has led to the unwarranted conclu- sion on the part of the public that applicant has earned and is earning grossly excessive return on its investment in property devoted to public use An increase in capital stock as is here proposed would tend to remove this source of distrust and suspicion

Federal Trade Commission Says
 It Is Monopoly NO SEPARATION INTENDED
IfAF. H. Prince Takes Over Interests Of Big Five" It Will Change the Present Status But Very Little, Report Declares.

Washington. Sept. 1.-The plan proposed by the big five" packers to dispose of their stockyard interests to F. H. Prince and Company of Boston wiH not result in the sepa rat tion of the stockyards from packer interests, the Federal Trade Commission de- clared today in a report to Attorney General Palmer.
 Two Reasons Given.
 The commission gave two reasons for it's conclusion as follows:
 ''The long-tim stockyards relations of F. H. Prince with the packers have been such that the plan will not re- suit, in the opinion of the commits sion. in a divorcement of the stock yards from packer interests.
 The plan, as outlined. in the opin- ion of the commission. is an infrac- ton of the monopoly law of the land, greater and more serious than the existing infraction.'

Keith ledge, an employe of 8 New York brokerage firm warning him to get out of Wall street as soon as the gong strikes at 3 o'clock Wednesday, the 18th" His whereabouts are unknown here.
 Buffalo. N. Y., Sept. IA man who admits he is Edward Fischer, and that he recently was in Toronto, is detained at police headquarters at Hamilton, Ont, according to a tele- phone message from that city re- ceived here today. A police surgeon is examining him to determine whether he is insane. Relatives in Hamilton are said to have informed the police of his whereabouts. He has not been questioned about a postcard warning a brokers clerk in New York to get out of Wall street on September 15. The police say Mir. Pope, a relative of Fischer, informed them that three weeks ago the prisoner predicted the New York catastrophe and sent warn ings to Wall Street friends. Pope says his relative has been in as pe- culiar mental condition for some time and that he believes Nhe infor- nation as to the approaching disas- ter was received by mental tele- pathy.'
 A lunacy commission adjudged Fischer a fit subject for the asy- lum' and he will be taken there this afternoon it was announced.
