FINANCE
AND
BUSINESS
BIZ p. G. FORBES,

Romance in railroading is
not dead. Since Hartman and
Hill passed from the scene
there has been no really pic
turesque, outstanding figure in
the railroad world, not until
the advent of the two Van
Sweringen brothers of Cleve-
land, real estate operators, who
began picking up moderate
sized railroads not so long ago.
Their negotiations for control
OF Chesapeake and Ohio bring
them to the front as new stars
In the railway armament.
They have earned the repu-
tation of being extraordinarily
able fellows. Their energy is
inexhaustible. They have cour-
age unlimited. Yet, they ap-
parently wed wisdom to their
daring. All their operations
have been creative and con-
structive.
The. railway world of today
and of tomorrow invites the
appearance of Napoleon.
The government is anxious to
have all the 200 and more rail-
roads in America consolidated
into some twenty systems. Here
Is a colossal opportunity for
the activities of a second Har-
rlman. 1t is said that the oc-
caslon begets the man. Has
there been, somewhere, a man
ripening for the occasion that
now presents itself?
Are the Van Sweringens go
ing to prove big enough to bat
tie their way to Napoleonic
heights railwaywise? They have
at least made rather a spectac-
ular start. And they have
youth on their side.
A prediction: Wages will rise
during the first four months of
1923.
After that-well, it is diff
cult to guess how wages and
other things may go.
Of piquant interest to the
banking community all over the
continent is the announcement
that the Chase National Bank
of New York has climbed to sec
ond place, in point of size, among
the national banks of the coun-
try.
1t has displaced the National
Bank of Commerce. New York,
whose president, James B. Alex
ander, hasn't been having par
ticularly good luck in retaining
some of his brainiest asso-
ciates. An unfortunate miscar-
riage of promotion plans some
time ago caused comment in the
institution, and shortly there
after Vice President Howell, VINO
was expected to be moved up an
important step, quit
And now comes the announce
ment this week that Guy Emer-
son, perhaps the best-knOwn Of
fetal in the Commerce, is also
leaving, to become one of Sew
ard Prosser's right-hand men, as
president of the Bankers Trust
Company. Mr.. Emerson did
extraordinarily effective work
in directing the various Liberty
Loan campaigns. The expecta-
ton is that Mr.. Alexander will
BY and by become chairman of
the board of the Commerce Bank.
One of the most important vice
presidents of the Chase Bank,
Gerald NJ. Dahl, has landed an
enviable place as a partner OF
Hayden, Stone & Co. Mr.. Stones
health has not been of the best
for some time. and he is throw
ing off most of his harness. In
cidentally, Mr.. Stone is one of
the best-liked financiers IN the
East.
The man chiefly responsible
!. for the Chase banks latest
achievement is Albert H. Wig

BEAR IS KILLED
BY DOUGLAS men
Bruin Suddenly Aw a k e n $
Pleasure Hunter from Sleep
Shooting Starts.

While enjoying an outing to Mug
get Creek last Sunday, a party com
posed OF Gene Weschenfelder, Glenn
Cakes and A. E. GoetZ had an eX
perience which they were not looking
for.
During the afternoon Cakes, who
had become separated from the re-
mainder of the party, was stretched
out on top of an old stump taking a
sun bath when he heard the heavy
breathing of some animal in close
proximity to him.
Looking around, he d!scerned in an
opening at the base Of the stump
from which the sound seemed to
come Being unarmed he fastened
to get away without Investigating
further.
Going in search of Weschenfelder
who had high powered % rifle, he
found him and related his story. The
two returned to the stump.
Their approach soon caused a stir
to be heard in the hole and pres
emily a large black bear stuck his
head out.
With one shot Wesch erfelder killed
him. After considerable difficulty the
bear was pulled out by the two men
Just as they got him out a second
bear was heard coming to the open
ing and hastily grabbing his gun,
Weschenfelder shot into the hole
and killed what proved to be only "a
cub, just a few weeks old.
After making sure there was no
more life in the cave, the men re-
turned to town bringing the dead cub
and skin Of the mother bear.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.

Albany. Feb. e.
The Port Authority plan is to be ac-
cepted without delay by the Legislature
ance with the conditions of the treaty
with New Jersey.
Announcement was made to-day fol-
lowing an informal conference OF the
legislative leaders that the Meyer-Mas-
tick bill carrying out the recommended
tions Of the Port Authority and provid-
Ing for the formal acceptance of the
plan by the State will be reported out
next Tuesday. 1t will lay on the table
for three days, go to second reading by
the end of the week and come up for
final passage early the following week.
Such a measure may authorize the
commission, of which L. II. Outerbridge
is chairman, to go ahead In. charge OF
the work. or may set up a new commits
sion. That has not been decided, but
there is disposition now to create an
entirely new body and thereby get rid
of some of the controversy which is
centered around the commissioners now
in office.
The Tammany request that the Board
of Estimate name two members will not
be accepted, but the legislative leaders
to-day said they were considering sug-
gestion that one member be appointed
by the Board of Estimate and two by
the Governor Of If commission Of five

interest of about $500, 100000; this cash
will be used to produce cheap nitrates
for festilizers or can be turned into the
Treasury at the option of the Govern
ment.
Success of nitrate manufacture. which
can be economically used for fertilizer,
is dependent entirely on sale OF power
without the support of the power devel-
opment and sale Of excess power TO
finance the nitrate plants 1t would not
be possible to continue the manufacture
and sale of nitrates
The power end of the industry is to
be solely developed for the benefit or the
factory. The separation OF the factory
from the power destroys the unity OF
the industry.
This lease proposes to devote the en-
tire power development to the manu-
facture of nitrates, including the devel-
opment of improved methods for the re-
duction of cost of production.
The quantity of nitrates annually pro-
duced is limited only by the amount or
excess power sold and the selling price
of nitrates fixed by the Government.
The method proposed to finance by
the sale of excess power the manufac-
ture is the only possible method by
which nitrates can be produced under
present known methods and sold to the
American farmers at price less than
the Chilean products.

legatees, the biggest payment being
S1S.13",391 for the establishment of the
Frick collection. There still remains to
be distributed S43.156. 6.261.53. Harvard,
Princeton, the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and the Mercy Hospital
in Pittsburgh are yet to receive be-
quests.
One of the reasons why New Yorl's
share OF the taxes on the F'rick estate
was so small is that his collection of
art works was not taxed because 1t has
been given TO the public. Otherwise 1t
would have been subject to a tax in this
State and would have greatly increased
the amount paid here. The Fifth avenue
home also was given to the public to
house the art collection, which exempted
the realty from taxation. The taxes coll
lected here were entirely on stock owned
in New York corporations and realty
and personal property not Included In
the gifts to the public.
The executors have delivered to Ade-
laide III. c. Frick. the widow, props rty
in New York, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts worth $403.603. Payments Of
100000 each have also been made to
Adelaide H. c. Frick, Helen c. Fricx.

report asks credit for the executors of
an aggregate of more than S250,000
from various causes. including losses on
sales of personal property at less than
inventory values.

s370,646, and debts of sS,616,571. are
listed in the report. During the period
of the accounting. income totaled s9,-

Special Dispatch TO THE New YonK HERALD
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2.-The first ac-
counting of the estate of Henry C. Frick.
covering the period from December 2.
1919, until last December, was flied
here to-day in the Orphans Court by
the executors. 1t shows that the execu-
tors have paid out more than $9.ooo,oo0
in taxes since the steel magnate died.
OF this amount the United States Gov
ernment received $6.33S.S9s, the State
of Pennsylvania $1,97S.949, and the
State of Kansas $353.SS7. The State of
New York where Mr.. Frick maintained
palatial home on Fifth avenue in New
York city, received only s131,000.
The F'rick estate at present is valued
at ss4,012,153.s3, which is considerably
less than it was worth at Mr.. F'rick's
death through depreciation of stocks
and bonds since the war. The personal
estate is valued at $77,3S0,392. while
the real estate is estimated to be worth

MosT PEOPLE talk rather freely on the power Of the
press Some have definite ideas about it, Few have
a true valuation
He who loves to crate usually paints the influence
of the press all good or all bad-saint devil At
best or worst he is only half right.
The average person probably considers the power
Of the press something very definite and tangible.
He feels on speaking terms with it. He could almost
shake it by the hand. To the average person the
press always consciously exercises it's power to win
exact ends by definite means. The average man per-
haps is little on his guard against the day when
the press will say IL am going to influence you.
And like the orator the average man has missed
the deeper power for it is not through crude propa
ganda or patiently unfair bias that newspapers exert
their greatest power.
The real, ever present, always working power of
the press is Of the most intangible of Influences
1t is not seen or touched or heard 1t is not even
consciously exercised in the daily work by the great
majority of men who form the press
Men, women and children who read are not
scouS of the influence and would deny it fquestioned
But they more get away from the nfu
ence of their newspapers than they can get away
from the influence of their homes, their businesses
their friends, or their habits The tone of the news
paper you read is important factor in moulding
your life as any of these.
