That the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company, as we'll as the INTERIOR
ough, was addicted to the habit of
paying dividends out of capital was
brought out in the Transit Commis-
sion inquiry this afternoon. Howard
Abel, comptroller of the B. L. T.,
testified that in January, 1917. when
the company owned $f,20o.00O to
banks and had $5,67S,S05 outstanding
in bills payable and a cash balance of
only $1,260,9o0, the directors met and
declared a quarterly dividend of one
and one-half per cent. Two more
dividends Of a similar amount were
declared in 1917. although the finan-
cial condition of the company stead
lily grew worse.
In February, 1918, with $57,735,oOo
worth of bonds maturing in July, the
directors met and decided to pass the
quarterly dividend.
This" remarked Clarence Shearn,
the Commissions counsel, "is the
only bright spot in the inquiry thus
far"
James r. Sheffield, receiver and trus-
tee OF the Interborough Consolidated
Corporation, the holding concern of
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany, was the first witness. MIR.
Sheffield testified that in December,
1919, he collected from the Inter-
borough $1,300,0o0, which had been
borrowed in two instalments, one of
$5oO,O without interest in 1918, and
the other of $500, 10000 with interest on
March 20, 1919.
Having collected the $4,000, 900, Re
ceiver Sheffield promptly reloaned

The investigation being conducted
into the administration of city de-
partments by the Meyer Legislative
Committee was resumed to-day in
the County Court House. Instead of
taking up the Department of Public
Welfare which it was believed would
take place, Senator Schuyler NJ.
Meyer continued the investigation
into the affairs OF the Dock Depart
mcnt.
The first witness in the afternoon
session was r. C. Scholz. Vice Presi-
dent of the Kerr steamship Company.
Senator Meyer started on the trial
Of $34,950 paid to various persons
for obtaining a pier at the foot OF
33d Street, Brooklyn. The trial it
was indicated by testimony led first
to Edward Kelly. assistant general
manager of the Clyde steamship
Company. Then to a Mr.. ii. b.
James, whose connection seemed
very vague
Mr.. Sholz declared that when Mr.,
Kerr, President of the steamship
company, told him that they wished
to obtain the pier he first got into
touch with Mr.. Kelly early In 1919
and asked him if he could arrange
it. He said that Kelly later said that
he was confident that it could be ar
ranged. He also declared that Kelly
said he would have TO be compensated
for his services. The rate of compen-
sation, according to Mr.. Scholz, was
tho weekly difference between the
Dock Department rate of wharfage
and the actual market value Of the
pier.

This message was delivered by the
President in person in the chamber
OF the House and in the presence of

The text of the message is as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Speaker and Members of the
Congress:
TT is a very gratifying privilege
TO como TO the Congress with the
republic at peace with all the nations
of the world. More, it is equally
gratifying to report that our country
is not only free from every impending
menace of war, but there are grow

the peace which we so deeply cherish.

"Encroachment upon the functions

STRAPPED BY FIRE,
BOY BURNED, AFTER
TURPENT|NE BLAST
Firemen Rescue Trio Through
Rear Window of East Side
Paint Shop.

\ curious small boy named Johnny
Carbona, living at No. 213 Christie
Street, started to investigate a fifty
gallon barrel of turpcntinc in the
open doorway of Isidor Bund's paint
store on the ground floor of the five
story tenement at No. 211 Chrystie
Street at . o'clocI thls afternoon.
Bund had withdrawn five gallons Of
the fluid a few minutes before.
Nobody knows just what form
Jchnny's investigation took, but Max
Hochman, who was looking at him
from across the street, saw a curtain
OF flame suddenly spread across the
front of the paint store and heard a
terrific explosion. Out of the flame
darted Johnny Carbona with his
clothing burning like u torch. At the
corner of Stanton Street, a few doors
from Bunds store, Johnny dropped
and a few bystanders smothered the
fire in his clothes.
In the store at the time of the OK
plosion were Bund, his bookkeeper,
Charlotte Farb of No, 2 Suffolk
Street, and Jacob Blum, who was
buying a paint brush. The desk of
the bookkeeper was within five feet of
the explosion. She was showered
with flaming turpentine, but, fortu-
nately, her clothing did not catch fire.
The whole front Of the store was
ablaze and the door was like the
mouth of a furnace. Bund, Blum
and Miss Farb ran to the rear to face
three windows protected by heavy
iron bars, too close together to allow
the passage of a human body.
Something providential restrained
the trapped trio from opening a win
dow. In that case they would have
created a draught which would have
swept the blaze in front across and
through the stack of paints and wall
paper and made the room a death
trap.
Truck No. 0 responded to an alarm
sounded by Patrolman kitson IN an
almost incredibly brief space of time.
Lieut.. Tubrity sized up the situation
at a glance.
With three of his men he ran
through the tenement hallway to the
rear yard. 1t was the work Of a min
ute to pry loose two Of the bars on
one of the windows. While other fire.
men of an engine company attacked
the blaze in front, Tumulty aid his
men pulled Bund and Blum and Miss
Farb through the window to safety.
There were three ambulances or
the scene by this time-one from
Gouverneur Hospital and two from
Volunteer. Ambulance surgeons treat
ed the burns of Bund and Blum and
Miss Farb and Johnny Carbona was
taken to Gouverneur. He denied thai
he dropped a match into the barre

One of the greatest conveniences of the modern life is the efficient and careful transfer company. It has been demonstrated that the truck is the best way for handling moving problems and this firm is a firm that specializes in giving the best of ser vice to the many patrons it serves in this capacity.
 Realizing the necessity of this type of service and knowing that the pub lie was entitled to the best there was to be had, large motor trucks have been provided. These trucks are mod ern in all respect and of large capa- city. By the proper packing of your furniture they are able to haul very large loads and also able to pack in such a manner that you will not need to fear of having any of your furniture marred or damaged.
 The modern moving service has proven a great convenience to the householder of today. No longer need he worry about hiring carpenters to build crates then hunt a drayman to haul the goods to the depot. Now all that is needed is to call the tran sfer firm and they will look after all the details and will deliver your goods in a city one hundred miles

We are pleased in this business review to compliment this we'll known concern and suggest that our readers take it into consideration when making purchases or desiring work in the electrical line.
 We are glad to congratulate them upon their great success and believe that the people should consult them upon the various phases of the work their institution embraces.

There is nothing so important tC the commercial development of the smaller city as an up-to-daUe estab- lishment where people of the com muhity can satisfy their demands for clothing and haberdashery. This is the day and age when men, both old and young, must be neatly attired in clothes of distinction and quality.
 In this part of the state the needs, desires and demands of the pop ulation are more than satisfied at this we'll known store. This progress sive establishment is strictly modern and up-to-date and is stocked with a class of goods that would do credit to much larger city. It features nationally famous lines of clothes which is proof of their wisdom, for this line is found only in the leading establishments.
