HUGE PROFITS
REPORTED BY
BIG BUSINESS

New York.-The public service cor
poration of New Jersey will increase
its preferred stock capitalization to
100000 shares, having a par value
of 800 each. The common stock will
be increased to 2,000,000 shares, hav-
ing no par value.
This increase will permit profits to
be spread" over a larger area, so
public attention will not be reminded
of these huge net earnings. Last year
this corporation made a profit of S5,-
75O,239 after all charges and inter
est were met.
New York.-Profits of the Ameri-
can wooden company are so enormous
that more stock can be absorbed. The
trust announces another issue of $l0,-
100000.
New York.-The Louisville & Nash
vile railroad reports a profit of S10,-
59S,Ol9 last year. This is the larg-
est net earnings since 1918.

TAKES FOUR
DAYS TO HAUL
CAR FOUR MILES

New York.--To force railroads to
join with the city in developing a uni
fed terminal system port authorities
exposed some boasted efficiency of
railroads.
1t was shown how tank car filled
with linseed oil routed from Under
cliff, N. j., to Bayonne, N. j., a dis
lance of 131a miles, travelled 1913
miles and took four days to reach its
destination. The car Travelled through
several New Jersey cities, and also
Easton, Pa, before reaching Bayonne.
In reply to the claim of railroad at
torneys that this case is exceptional,
engineers said these instances could
be cited without number.
1t was also shown that car
shipped from Undercliff to Keansburg,
N. j., a distance of AZ miles, travelled
1877 miles. Still another example was
car shipped from one part of Jersey
City to another part of the same city,
a distance of four miles. The car was
routed so that it travelled 81 miles
and took four days for the journey.
General George w. Goethals, con-
sulting engineer, testified that the
unification plan would be much less
expensive and much more efficient.
1t developed that three railroads have
refused to give any information to
the authorities to aid them in the
proposed efficiency scheme.
Now Wen tell one:

Easter flowers to Villa Grove on

LINE
To GUT TRIP
TO NY.
Proposed Road, Only 81 Miles,
in Dispute. Since 1908. U. s.
Minister Reports.

A link of railroad which will en-
able travellers to go direct from New
York. to the Pacific coast Of Guate-
mala Is about to be constructed.
Arthur H Geissler, United States
minister to the Central American
republic declared today following
call Of respects upon President
Coolidge.
Peculiar interest attaches to this
project because it has been in con.
troversy since 1903 and because,
though but fifty-seven miles must
be spanned, the lack OF rail facilities
In the region has definitely
separated Guatemala City and
points in Salvador, Honduras and
Nicaragua.
A concession was granted the
International Railways OF Central
America, q New York corporation,
to construct the road in 1908, but
wrangling prevented the work.
Last autumn, with Geissler acting
as mediator between the Guaternalan
government and the corporation, q
satisfactory agreement was arrived
at, and work VIII start In the near
future.
The railroad will bring the Pacific
coasts OF several Central American
countries q week closer to New
York, which it will be possible TO
reach in little over seven days,
whereas it now takes fourteen or
more.

BY r. D. THOMAS.

Santa Claus is due three months
hence, but one might have thought
he dropped in for premature visit
after the ten teams Of the CONNER
cial League had finished their
opening nights competition at tha
Recreation.
It appeared that every other
bowler among the fifty-odd that
competed received gift. And
good things to eat were in the
hands of the scores of duckpinners
and fans. The Carry Ice Cream
Company was generous with its
frozen COW product. So was Tad
Howard, general manager of the
Recreation and Grand Central, who
was downright lavish with cake and
soda pop.
The Hecht Company and The
Times-Herald teams won signal VIC
tories. They alone of the ten teams
made. clean sweeps, the Hecht Con-

Stores and the newspaper men run

Representatives of D. J. Kaufman
Individual honors were taken by
Oaks Lawrence, Of The Times
Herald team, a powerful young man
with fast ball that scorched the
runways. Lawrence's set OF 357
was high. Crane of the Carry
team, was his leading rival, with a
total of 336, and the best single
game of 1875.
Proving that no pin is insignifi-
cant enough to throw away, the
Carry team won high game horrors
with 513, exactly enough to beat
The Herald, which got 512
largely by virtue of Lawrence's best
game, 121.
The Carry bowlers came back
strong after their 513 effort and got
512. Their grand total of 1,511 was
by far the best. The second game
between the cream makers and
Calls was the hottest battle. The
Carry's won, 513 to ell, Crane sup
plying the victory punch with
score of 1876.
The wilkins Company trimmed
Goldenbergs 2 to 1, taking the de-
Gliding game. 466 to 463, Ulrich and

Winning Squirt.

Today the Griffmen are resting
before engaging in their final series
of the year with the Cleveland In
dams, just now playing the high

grip upon second place in the Ameri-
can League flag hunt.
Four victories to two defeats was
the story of the last invasion of
the Capital by those pesky ST.
Louis Browns. George Mogridge
smiled his way through nine in
nings yesterday as the Brown went
to pieces behind mediocre hurting
by Messrs. Dixie Davis and Wayne
Wright.
On two occasions the Browns
threatened to score. Sam Rice's
perfect peg to Ruel killed their
chance in the second frame and
the record making 169th double
play choked them off in the eighth
