BIZ Scripps-H OWdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 4.-One-
half of the states of the union have
abandoned poor houses and adopted
told age pension systems.
In a report just issued the Ameri-
can Association for Old Age Secur-
ity celebrates its arrival at the half
way goal post in its long campaign.
1t declares that twenty-four states
now have adopted old age pension
laws, and that eighteen of these
have laws that compel counties to
given pensions in place of poor
house care.
During April new laws were
passed in Colorado, Arkansas and
Maine.
Since the opening of the year Ore
gon North Dakota, Arizona, Indiana
and Washington have joined the
pension group, while Minnesota
made it's optional law mandatory
one. Of the twenty-four states only
six have optional laws. The pen
sion states now include:
Mandatory - Arizona, Arkansas

Heath Hens Is
Dead in East
BE- Science Scrrice

ny science SCfftce
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Another
bird species has gone to join the
passenger pigeon and the great
aux. The last heath hen is be-
lieved to be dead
For several years the sole sur
vivor of the heath hen tribe has
been heard by residents on Martha's
Vineyard island, off the New Eng
land coast, calling in vain for it's
departed mate. Now they hear it
no more.
The heath hen never was an
abundant bird, at least in the mem
DRY of white men. So far as any
authentic records exist, its range
was confined to this one island, al
though it is probable that it once
occupied much larger area, where
its favored habitat, low, open scrub
on sandy ground, could be found
along the New England coast, and
perhaps southwark as far as New
Jersey.
AS recently as 1916, there was hope
for comeback by the species. Ten
years previously. a disastrous fire
had all but eXterminated it. Then
bird lovers and the public authori-
ties took hand, and under careful
conservation methods built the
f1ocks up again to between 500 and
1000 birds.
But their Solicitude has been in
vain. Further fires. and apparently
an epidemic disease, again made in
roads upon the heath hens last
stand, and now the last individual
seems to be dead.

QUIZ FACED BY
BOARD OF BANK
BEFORE SENATE
Directors of Hartman InSti.
tuition May Tell of
Stock Deals.

By Scripps-HoWdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Direc-
tors of the closed Hartman Ma
tional bank may be called before
the Stephens senate subcommittee
as the result of disclosures brought
out in the investigation of the delay
of federal officials in bringing Grim
inal proceedings against Joseph w.
Hartman, former president.
Testimony given by Henry Cooper,
present conservator of the institu-
ton, but not connected with it dur
ing the Hartman regime, revealed
that Hartman acted as manager of
a syndicate of twenty-five of the
banks directors in purchase of stock
of the Hartman National.
1t was on the charge of having
made false entries and having Jug
gled accounts connected with pur-
chase of this stock that Hartman
recently was indicted by a federal
grand jury in New York. While
Cooper protested vigorously that he
was sure none of the directors in
the buying pool was aware of the
alleged crookedness, members of
the subcommittee differed with him.
Although the bank was reorgan-
lied and the board reduced in num-
bers, those now on the directorate,
it was testified, also were members
of the old board Cooper testified
that thew had a legitimate right RI
purchase the stock and we're not en-
gagged in any illegal act.
The syndicate did not have an op-
Grating fund, and, according to the
testimony, Hartman borrowed funds
of the bank and transferred to the
trading account large deposits of in
dividual customers.

~ Science Scrrice
PHILADELPHIA, May A
hybrid oak that bears two different
kinds of acorns, each like one OF
the parent species, was described
before the meeting of the American
Philosophical Society here recently
by DR.. William Trelease, for many
years professor of botany at the
L iversity of Illinois.
The tree is a cross between white
and bur oak. On certain of its
branches, it bears acorns like those
of the bur oak, on others, acorns
more nearly like those of the white
oak. DR.. Trelease is of the opinion
that the tree is a "chimaera,' be-
longing to the strange class of
hybrid plants that preserve separate
identities in their parts rather than
a mixture of characters throughout.

COUNSEL VOICES
POVERTY PLEA
FOR WATER co.
Picture of Woe Is Painted
for Future If New Rate
Is Upheld.

The "pitiful plight" facing the
Indianapolis Water Company, If the
December rate order Of the public
service commission Is sustained, was
pictured in federal court today by
Harry Boggs, water company &C
countant.
Boggs submitted figures before
Albert Ward, SPECIAL master in
chancery, who is conducting the
hearing, to show that if the De-
eember order had been in effect all
the year ended March 81, 1888, the
water company's net earnings would
have been only $1,309,225
This would have been return Of
less than per cent on the $22,
100000 valuation set by the commits
sion.
In fact, he set out, it would have
meant a return of 8 per cent,
sought by the company in its suit,
on a valuation of only sic, 5,3l7.
Asks SIG, 900 900 Valuation
The company is asking the court
to grant it a valuation of not less
than SIG, 0000 900 for making
purposes.
He obtained his figures by sub
tracing total operating expenses
from estimated total operating
revenues of $2,447, 1859, and adding
incorporating revenues of $22,373.
A number of other complicated
accounting tabulations were pro-
duced by Boggs, who followed an
other accountant, John Jirgal, Chi
cago, TO the stand.
These were to the effect that;
Operating revenues decreased
$18.215 in 1881, under 1890; that a
further decrease of $27,005.34 was
shown for 1882, and that the first
three months of this year, compared
with the same period in 1890, re-
vealed a decrease in revenue OF
S104,972.40
Revenue Is Down
That operating revenue for The
year ended March 81, 1898, was
$306, 43335 less than for the year
ended March 81, 1882.
That net additions to the fixed
capital in the period from 1924 to
March 81, 1888, we're $6,674,348.64.
That for every dollar of gross rev.
enue in the year ended March 81,
1893, the company paid 1914 cents in
taxes, compared with 1888 in 1880
although taxes for 1880 we're $507,-
$50 and for the year just ended
we're only $460,599.
The disparity was accounted for
900 in the two periods.
Ward has announced that the
hearing would be recessed Friday
until Wednesday, as he will be out
of the city for a few days, and ex-
pressed a desire to inspect land
claimed by the water company in
its valuation.
1858 Per Cent Of Total
That more than half of the water
company consumers are affected
by the minimum rate was shown by
Jirgals computation,
This revealed that in the year
ending March 81, 1888, there were
465,480 monthly meter readings
1854 per cent of the total readings
within the minimum classification
500 cubic feet or less.
However, it was shown, this large
group of patrons accounted for only
1858 per cent of the total consump-
ton of water in the period
Comparative data tended TO show
that the number of consumers
keeping within the minimum rate
is increasing.
