In Lindsey Home
Articles Pledged Believed
TO Amount to 100000:
Combination of Private
Safe Is Out Of Order

Assistant District Attorney Murphy
accompanied by Detective Rcrnsrd j.
Flood, Benjamin Levison, representing
Mrs. Lindsey, and Sheriff William
Brown of Rockland County, made q

of $4,000 bail on the charge of hav-
ing Swindled women out of 81 900 600.
Mr.. Murphy, who had the combination
to the safe in Lindsey's Nyack home.
arrived at the house and found that
the combination would not work. He
confined his search to closets and desks
in the place. In these he found num-
Der of pawn tickets for jewelry. furs
and sllverware. In all. there were l13
pawn tickets found in the place for
articles upon which Lindsey had OBJ
tanned loans of S43,l53. The amounts
ranging from $40 to $4,000
The Assistant District Attorney fig
ured that a conservative value of the
articles pawned by Lindsey as shown
by the 113 tickets would be at least
100000. In addition to the pawn tick
cts found in the indicted brokers' N.Y.
ack home there are other pawn tickets,

Gated Lindsey had said that he lost

that he occupied small Office opening
off Roors 1000 in the Rector Street

dropped from sight. The office was sub
lct to Radice, who, it was said, kept

Stock Dividend by
Standard Oil of
Kentucky Planned
Big Boost i'm Value Expect
cd to Follow Doubling Of
Capital Stock and Rcduc-
ton of Par Value TO $25
Special Dispatch to rho Tribune

LOUISVILLE, March 11.-A melon
for stockholders in the Standard Oil
Company of Kentucky probably will
be authorized at the stockholders meet
ing called for April by G. T. Collins,
chairman of the board Of directors.
The stockholders will be asked to
double the capital stock of $6,0O0,o00
and to reduce its par value from Sl00
to S25. These figures are for stock
holders and employees, as ten shares Of
Standard Oil Of Kentucky sold yester-
day at 4S9 on the New York Curb
market.
If the stockholders assent to these
changes in the capital stock issue the
board Of directors will vote to declare
a stock dividend of S2,O0O,0O0. which is
33 13 per cent of the present capital
stock; to offer a similar sum to the
stockholders at par and to retain q
like sum for treasury stock.
Coincident with the call for the
stockholders meeting, the company has
made public it's annual financial state
nent, showing surplus and undivided
profits of S10,668,4 ,44243, from which
the sum of 81 $780, 900 is set aside for
dividends and income and profits taxes.
This leaves a balance OF S0.2SS, ,4d2.43
Tho doubling of tho capital stock
would ordinarily have the effect of
halving the value of each share, but
because Of the stock dividend to be
declared and the splendid financial
position Of the company, there prob
ably will be an immc cdiatc rise. For
instance, if the figure quoted on the
New York Curb yesterday of S489 IS
taken as representative of the value
of share of Standard Oil of Ken
lucky, the doubling of the capital stock
would cut it to S24450.
The declaration of the SO / 3 per cent
stock dividend probably would boost
this value good deal as soon as the
stock is put on the market, possibly as
high as $400. Changes which the stock
holders will be asked to authorize at
the April third meeting are:
First Reduction OF par value from
$l00 to $25.
Second-Incrcase of authorized cap
ital stock from S6,000000 to $l2, 900 900.
Third-Changing date of annual
meeting of stockholders from the first
Tuesday in February to the third Tues
day lin March.
Fourth-Creation of the following
Offices at the discretion of the direct
ors: One or more vice-pres esdcnts, one
or more assistant secretaries and one
or more assistant treasurers.
Fifth-Increasing the debt limit
from 100000 to $12,000,0O0.
Two-thirds of the capital stock must
be represented to amend the articles
of inCOrpOration
