is the belief of we'll informed persons
in the financial district. 1t is stated
definitely that the deal for the
Rockefeller holdings of first preferred
stock was closed last week and that
announcement to such effect will be
made within a few days.
The four major Eastern SYSTEMS
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsyl-
vania, the New York Central and the
Van Sweringen-are mentioned as the
probable buyers, although there is a
strong suspicion that the Western
Maryland has been acquired in the in
terest of the Loree proposed new
trunk line. Wheeling and Lake Erie,
it is said, has been secured by the
same interests.
Included in the proposition &C
credited to Mr.. Loree are the. West
ern Maryland and the Washington
and Old Dominion. These two prop
critics do not connect, but use of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annap-

fill the gap.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Dividends in Dollars and Cents.


There are two ways Of expressing
the dividend rate on a stock, one in
percentage and one in dollars and
cents. The second method is prob
ably the better. 1t would be very
simple to state the rate in per cent
provided all stocks We're of 500 par
value. In that event the per cent
and the dollars per share are the
on a 500 par stock is Sc.
Confusion arises when we have
stock of less than 500 par value, say
$50 par or $40 or some other figure
or even stocks of no par value at all.
To illustrate, take Pennsylvania Rail-
road stock, which is of $50 par value.
The dividend rate on Pennsylvania is
per cent, or $3.50 per share. Amer
lean Water Works & Electric com
mon stock is of $40 par and the divi-
dend rate is s per cent, or $1.60 a
year. Public Service Corporation of
New Jersey has no par value, and so
percentage is not applicable in CIV
Ing the dividend rate. which is 81
share.
The only common basis then is dol
lars and cents. Differences in par
value also have to be taken into
account in making comparisons be-
tween investment stocks. Take Penn
syivania Railroad again and compare
1t with Southern Railway. The for
mer is of $50 par and the latter is of
500 par. In percentage the divi-
dend rate is the same, namely, per
cent. In dollars per share Pennsyl
vania pays $3.50 and Southern Rail
way ST. Now look at the market
price. price of So for Pennsylvania
is equivalent to 116 for Southern Rail
way. At those quotations the yield
on the two stocks is exactly the same
An advance of u point in Pennsyl-
yania is equivalent to a gain of
point in Southern Railway, all because
of the fact that the par value OF
Southern Railway is exactly twice
that for Pennsylvania.

INDIANS MAY PROFIT

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.-The
question of the equity of the
Chippewa Indians in thousands

by the Government on behalf Of
the Indians. is among the ques-
tions that may confront Congress
when 1T convenes.

and they are making a vigorous
fight against relinQuishing 1t.
Should the Department of JUS
tice win suits brought in behalf
OF the Chippewas, the State
would be required to return the
value of the lands to the treas
ury for their benefit. The Jus
tice Department regards 1t as
desirable to have. Congress rather
than the courts decide the con-
troversy. One of the original
cases brought by the Federal Gov
eminent was decided adversely
