WOULD sEGREGATE
ROADS PROPERTIES
D., L. & W. Asks |. C. c. for
Separation of Rail From
Coal Business.

The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad applied to the In
terstate Commerce Commission today
for permission to segregate it's rail
and coal properties.
The company also asked permissio on
to issue additional capital stock to
the full amount of its surplus. now
estimated at about $4,000, 900. It's
present capitalization is less than
s43,Ooo,ooo. the application said. while
it's rail investment exceeds $87 200, 900.
Capacity Has Been Dual.
Since early in it's history" the ap-
plication continued, applicant has
been functioning in the dual ca
pacity of coal mining company. hold
ing 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 it's cap
italization to keep pace with the
growth of its assets, as it would other
wise have had the. right to do. It is
now ready to Segregate its coal prop
ties from its rail properties and to
thereafter continue as a transporta-
ton company only, and thus place it
self in position subject to this COM
missions assent. to accept the bene-
fits of general laws Of Pennsylvania
permitting it to increase its assets
and to what such capitalization would
doubtless have been but for the oper-
alton of such restrictive laws.
n
The declaration of dividends at a
rate abnormally high when compared
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 a
grossly excessive return on it's in
vestment in property devoted to pub
lie use. An increase in capital stock
as is here proposed would tend to re-
Elove this source of distrust and sus-
picion."

That the great Wall street explosion
in New York was the result of a bomb
or similar destructive machinery is
the belief of Milton E Allies, vice presi-
dent of the Riggs National Bank of
Washington who was an eyewitness
of the catastrophe.
All in the group of men who were
with him at the time agree The time
and place were SO suggestive of such
a plot, and the fact that the New York
laws forbid transportation of explo-
sives during daylight was conclusive
evidence to these witnesses that the
explosion was not of an accidental
character.
Upholding this belief, Mr.. Allies has.
as evidence, a piece of compressed
steel similar to that used on gun shells
and bombs. which was found on the
window sill of the room from which
he witnessed the scene.
Mr.. Allies, who only missed being
in the exact location of the explosion
by a very few minutes was an oh

dow OF the Colgate offices facing Wall
street, on the sixth story of the
building directly opposite that of ]. p

and today he gave a Star reporter
vivid and concise details of the ex-
plosion and his sensations through
out.
Seen as Nightmare,
Mr.. Allies said that while he was
seated about six feet from the front
windows of the Office the thing hap
pened. each incident striking him as
distinct horrible nightmare. and
yet it was all over in a few seconds
First, there was a dull but terrible
