Lake Affected bv Canal

Experts have decided that the wa
tiers of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
mlngle with the fresh water In Mira
flores lake in the Panama canal. The
progressive rise Of a certain amount
Of sea water to this lake and In a less
err amount to Gatun lake began with
the first ship to pass through the
canal and will probably continue in
definitely with the operation of the
locks Of the canal under trsffic. A
rise also takes place when the ships
are locked downward.

Finished

A travelling man put up one night Ia
a cheap little hotel, where the thin
partitions Of range Of bedrooms, like
the stalls of stable, stopped half
way to the ceiling. And in the Silly
watches Of the night he lay awake and
listened to the finest demonstration
of plain and fancy snoring that 1t had
ever been his fate to hear. It was full
of sudden and awful variations. Some
times strangulation seemed imminent !;
then, in the middle of fantasia, the
agony stopped suddenly, and there
was silence.
From a nearby room he heard a
voice exclaim YEARLY, THANK good

Is Found by Black

Another prohibition mystery was
cleared up yesterday when Repre-

York, found Iong-lost copy of
New York's notification to Con
gress that she favors a national
prohibition referendum.
After the November election, at
which voters of the Empire State
went on record In favor of such
referendum, certified copies of the
result were forwarded to Senate
and House. The Senate's copy was
received and entered in the record
December 49, but that sent the
House never has been officially re-
corded.
Black discovered that the noti-
f1cation had come TO House Off
Gals along with big batch of cleo

filed away with them. He expects
to formally call it to the notice of
his colleagues within few days.

RAILROAD FIGHT
PUT Up TOT. c. c.
Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Reorganization Prob
lem Confronts Board.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion is trying to determine whether
the reorganizat ton plan of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad
is in the public interest" The Fed
eral courts already have decided the
issues as between majority and mi
nority stockholders. and the question
now is whether the request OF the re-
organization managers to issue GER
tain capital stocks and bonds shall be
granted.
The Milwaukee road when sold at
auction recently to Kuhn, Loeb & Co,
who took over various outstanding
obligations, had a capitalization of
about S675 ,000, 900 which included
about $4,000, 900 non-cumulative
per cent preferred stock, about Sill
600 900 common stock and more than
S440, 600. 900 in bonds. The commits
sion now is asked for authority to
issue about S106, 100000 of 50-year
per cent mortgage bonds, about $119.-
900 600 of 5 per cent convertible bonds
and 1,174,0c0 shares of common stock
of no par value.
The reorga nization managers also
ask authority to issue about 500 ,000-
600 of no par common stock in addi-
ton and 914.369 shares of no par com.
mon stock as may be required to con-
vert the bonds.
In support of the plan the argument
was made by witnesses that fixed in.
terest charges would be cut from
about $22 100000 per year to some
thing less than $4,000, 900 w. w. X.
Sparrow. chief financial officer of the
road under the receiVership, estimated
that the present earnings of the road
of about 10000 600 would be increased
for the next few years at the rate of
about 100000 a year.
Walter V. Wilson, an engineer, has
testified that the II 900 miles of line
are worth not less than $1,000 900
and. including securities wned, he
said the total would be about $780,
900 900.
Col. Henry w. Anderson of Rich
mond. Va. who has been handling
the minority fight before the com
mission in the Van Sweringen merg-
err, has been representing also the
committee of ST. Paul minority bond
holders, headed by Edwin c. jane
son of New York. His questioning
thus far indicates that he believes
the reorganization plan should be
strapped.
Jerome J. Hanauer. one of the
III AuIlIlp IAOSb ~ ~, anu
the man who is generally understood
TO have drawn the reorganization
pan, has been testifying that the
plan is sound and fair and has been
explaining why he thinks the oppO
sition tactics would increase stock
holders assessments instead of di-
minishing them.
The problem of the commission is
to determine whether the capitaliza-
ton is excessive or not and whether
the fixed charges involved will enable
the road to operate in the public in
terest. AS for the points at issue
between the majority and minority
stockholders, Mr.. Hanauer and his
counsel have insisted that the Fed
eral courts have settled all the issues
as between majority and minority
stockholders and bondholders and
that the issuance of new stock should
he judged solely on its merits as If
there were no quarrel between ma
iority and minority. A decision is
not expected for several weeks.
