DIVIDEND INCREASED
BY PERE MARQUETTE
Action Seen as New Obstacle to
Nickel Plate Merger
Proposals.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1l.-~Another
obstacle was placed in the path Of
the proposed Nickel Plate merger,
already under the ban or the Inter
state Commerce Commission, when
directors of the Pere Marquette Rail
way, one Of the five roads involved in
the unifcation plan, yesterday in
creased the annual dividend rate on
the common shares from 81 to So and
declared an extra dividend Of 81 a
share. The action insures better terms
for the Pere Marquette stockholders If
the merger is reconstructed on a new
financial basis.
Financial interests close to the Van
Sweringens, however, indicated that
the higher dividend policy Of Pere
Marquette would not be an insur-
mountable barrier to the Nickel Plate
plan. New leasing terms, it was said,
would be based upon actual earning
power rather than dividend rates.
Meanwhile the increased return on the
stock will help to carry the Van Swer-
ingens' holdings of about 10000
shares or will net them a profit of
several million dollars If the merger
attempt is abandoned.
O. p. and M. j. Van Sweringen re-
turned to Cleveland today without

Miss Adels, said her father, has
been groomed for the stage since she

manner:
Eighteen years ago, when Sarah
Bernhardt was touring America, she
played at Houston, Tex. Here she
was invited to sit for her portrait at
a studio in that city, then under the
management of Mr.. Adels. Here the
red-haired idol of the stage met the
red haired child of the studio and in
her enthusiasm made the prediction
which has now come true for New
