certain small points, such as the en-

"Pastorale" by Alberto Jonas and

that Miss Ballon is excellently equipped
with broad pianistic powers which will
come to the fore more clearly when
the sharpness and brilliancy Of her

1t is great pity that there was not

such that one would like to hear her

WATERSHED BODY
ACTION DELAYED
Formation of Federal Com
mission Referred to SUBJ
committee.

Action favoring the creation OF a
Federal Watershed Commission which
would control stream pollution under
broad general powers was referred Tor
study by a committee of national eX-
perts and leaders in the movement
who met yesterday with Secretary OF
War Dern to discuss possible congress
sional legislation.
Frederic A Delano, vice chairman
Of the National Resources Board OF
which Secretary Dern also is men,
ber. precipitated the action which re-
suited in the question being referred to
a subcommittee While he declared he
was in thorough sympathy with efforts
to end pollution, he suggested no
definite action be taken now because
the idea of a Watershed Commission
might possibly conflict with proposals
to eliminate pollution which the Ma
tional Resources Board would make IN
its first report to President Roosevelt.
Committee to Draft Plan.
This action did not prevent how
ever, adoption of resolution author
tzing the chairman. Senator Augustine
Ionegren of Connecticut, to name
committee to draft plan before Con-
gress convenes on January embody-
ing general plans for the control OF
stream pollution.
Under the Federal Watershed Com
mission, which it is proposed to set up
local authorities would be established
and given absolute power to supervise
the purity of water in their Jurls-
dictions
Secretary Dern joined with Mr.
Delano and Representative A. Wills
Robertson of Virginia, chairman OF
the House Wild Life Committee, IN
questioning the wisdom of hasty action
in proposing a commission whose pow
ers might infringe on those OF the
States.
Mr.. Delano feared that efforts to
coordinate the work of the Govern
ment. the States and municipalities
might duplicate what the National
Resources Board is planning to do.
Referring to some of the difficulties
of the problem he cited as an example
the study of pollution in Chesapeake
Bay by the States of Maryland and
Virginia. which he said is working
injury to the ovster-crabs business.
A group of six States in New England,
he pointed out are studying pollution
in the Connecticut River where little
progress is being made.
Not Opposed to Plan.
I'm not trying to oppose what YOU
are trying to do, but am just pointing
out that We may be getting in each
others way" he said
Under the proposed plan Federal
emergency funds would be placed at
the disposal of local commissions and
municipalities to construct sewage dis
posal plants. Representative Robert
son questioned the advisability of
compelling municipalities to build
such plants and predicted a great deal
of difficulty on this score in cities and
States.
Here in the District Of Columbia
they had terrific fight to get sew
age disposal plant when the city
authorities in Washington were so
willing and conditions in the Potomac
are so terrible to say the least
He warned that you won't get to
flrst base in Congress" on any such
plans.

$50, COO, 900 to Be Largest
Rail Financing Move
Since Early 1881.

NEW YORK. June 29.-The big
gest piece of public railroad financ-
ing since early in 1881 was announced
yesterday by the investment banking
house of Kuhn. Loeb & Co, which
will publicly offer for sale on July 3
a $4,000. 900 issue of Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. general mortgage 4A4 per
cent bonds.
This offering was regarded in Wall
Street as a forerunner of a number
of new issues by railroads ana oth-r
corporations, chiefly for refunding
purposes, to take advantage of the
favorable conditions currently prevail
ing in the bond market, and prompted
in part by the Qualifications in the
securities act of 1888 through amend
ments passed at the last session of
Congress.
Earlier this month the Lackawanna
Railroad issued S13.639, 900 of 4 per
cent bonds to refund Short-term notes
and few months ago the New York
Central offered its stockholders an
issue of approximately $50 0.000, 900
convertible per cent bonds. which
were taken up by stockholders, no
public offering being made.
In a formal announcement. Kuhn
Loeb & Co. stated that they had pur-
chased, subject to the approval of the

A lengthy prospectus was issued in
which appears letter signed by W..
w. Atterbury, president of the rail-
road, setting forth voluminous finan-
cial data and other facts dealing with

II was understood from sources
close to the company that while the
Pennsylvania has ample cash on hand
to take care of its needs within the
next two years, 1t was deemed ad-
visable to take advantage of the easy
conditions in the bond field at the
moment and build up its reserve cash.
