By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 3l.-Com-
pulsory retirement OF ministers and
executives in the Presbyterian Church
in the United States at the age of 10
was recommended today to its General
Assembly.
The proposal, designed to inject new
blood and stimulate new leadership,
came from the Special Commission Of
Nine. 1t would require constitutional
change and ratification by a majority
OF the church's 276 Presbyteries.
Voluntary retirement at IS is now
permitted. Most pastors, with few ex-
ceptions, retire on pensions.
Some church officials said the COM
pulsory retirement plan is in line with
the general policy of business and in
dustry and would encourage the
younger ministers by making available
executive positions and important
pastorates.
The church has approximately 600
ministers. about 1000 Of whom are
pastors.

HONOLULU, May 31.-The body Of
George Fisher Baker, leader of Ameri-
can finance, lay on the yacht Viking
today, his death marked by the drama
he Stunned during life.
The 59-year- old banker, titular head
OF the First National Bank of New
York, died yesterday morning from
complications of peritonitis. He was
stricken while on his first vacation
since his marriage 80 years ago.
Mrs. Baker, present when he died,
will take the body to San Francisco
on the Matson liner Lurline, which
sails Saturday. From there it will be
taken to New York in q private rail-
road car. Two daughters, en- route
from the mainland on the Lurline,
will accompany the widow.
The spotlight, which Baker avoided
while directing the fortunes Of his
inherited financial empire, attended
his fatal illness.
Emergency Operation.
An emergency appendectomy, per-
formed at sea last Tuesday by his
personal physician and one hailed
from passing ship; a speedy 300
mile trip to reach this port and a
5,500-mile airline dash By Mrs Baker
to reach her husbands side were some
OF the details which lifted the banker s
death out of the obscurity he would
have desired.
Baker rallied until Saturday, when
his condition became alarming DR.
j. j. Judd gave the banker a blood
TRANSMISSION that evening and oxygen
and other stimulants were admins
tered through the night. But all ef-
forts failed and he died at 6:15 am
Sunday (11:45 am, Eastern standard
tine).
Bakers fortune had been estimated
Ut from sl50,000000 to half billion
In 1881 his father. George F. Baker
sr., died and left his son at the head
of the financial institution.
He held directorates in many cor
porations, but resigned them in 1896
without explanation. It was reported
he was in poor health then.
In addition to the widow and daugh-
lkers, Florence T. and Edith B.. he is
survived by two sons, George F. and
Grenville K. Baker.
The body remained in the owners
state room aboard the yacht at the
request of Mrs. Baker.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK BOTH BRIGHT N DARK

During the year just closed, there has been fulfllment of
hopes mixed with a number of disappointments in the indus
trial field 1t is true that production and sales indexes are
at the highest levels since depression set in. 1t is also true
that various grave problems--notable that of unemployment
are still a long way from solution.
As a result, industry looks forward to 1887 with optimism
tinged with worry. 1t it probable that the most favorable
outlook of all is held by the retail trade businesses. Last years
Dec. buying totaled more than Sc, 600 DOC, OO0- as compared
with $4,6O0,OO0,O00 in December, 1885, and SO, 700 100000 in De-
cember, 1893, which marked the low point. Consequently,
workers IN department stores, etc. was encoura gingly high.
This was reflected to some extent in the production field. How
ever, payrolls are still abnormally low
A synopsis OF current business taken from authoritative
sources, follows:
ELECTRIC UTILITIES; During 1886, this industry spent
$33O,O00OOO for new capital equipment. This year it will
spend more than $53O,0O0000 as a result Of increasing demand.
Principal expenditures will go for expanding generating facili-
ties, which will be more than doubled. The political situation
is a highly important factor so far as utilities are concerned,
and will dictate their budget and employment to a consider
able extent.
CONSTRUCTION: For the past five years, a major
Dulldlng boom has been anticipated. 1t has not occurred.
However, during 1886 construction was at least so per cent
better than IN 1885, with home building 20 per cent ahead.
America still faces a considerable housing shortage, and the
building industry hopes that 1887 will finally prove to be the
year IN which Americans will go into the market for new
homes, as well as extensive modernization of old homes.
RAILROADS: Traffic is good, profits are small Some
executives feel that the ICES refusal to continue the en-
Urgency surcharges is a serious blow. ICC says, on the other
hand, that the emergency is over, that more freight pickups
VIII cover the loss. Time can only tell which side is right.
In the meantime, the lines are continuing their expansion and
bettelment programs in both freight and passenger fields
EMPLOYMENT: As mentioned above. is still one of the
most serious OF our internal problems. Unemployment total is
hoverlng around six or seven millions. Business must make
Dig progress IN production before this labor surplus is alb
sorbed. Politics, taxation, labor troubles and chronological
advance are great obstacles to normal employment.
AGRICULTURE Had the best gross income since 1929
IN 1886. Crops were smaller, as a result of drouth, but prices
were higher In practically lines.

THE LOST OF socIALIzING THE RAILROADS

In an essay appearing in The Annals, on ''The Case for
Private Ownership and Operation of Railroads in the United
States" D.. }. Policy, President of the Association Of American
Railroads, draws an unusual comparison between the lines and
the principal governmental business enterprise-the ~postoffice
department.
The post office is operated, and well operated as a social
Peliey says. 1.-The postal service is a government protected
monopoly IN Its field. Other transportation agencies are for
hidden by law to invade the portions Of that field in which
profitable operation is possible.
In spite OF this protection against competition, and even
with the assistance of a system of government bookkeeping
winch, Tor example, does not make any charge against the
post Office for the construction of postoffice buildings, the
operating ratio OF the Post Office Department is chemically a
oove lO per cent. During the past seven years, the ratio
OF expenditure to receipts has ranged from a low of 1915 per
cent In 1884 to a high of 134.9 per cent in 1882.
during the same seven years, the American railroad sys-
TEN as a whole had an average operating ratio of 744 per cent.
Had the railroads operated at the same ratio of expense as
the postal service during those years, the operating expenses
OF Glass / railroads of the United States would have been
greater than they actually were by $40, 1876, 329, 900, an aver
age increase of l,743,333,O00 per year, or 81 per cent above
the actual average of railway operating expenses.
'Conceding that the post office is well operated, it is ap-
parent that If the railroads of the United States were oper-
ated at the same ratio of expense at the post office, some
one whether shippers, travellers, or taxpayers, would have to
meet a 81 per cent increase in railway transportation on costs.
In addition, goyrhent acquisition of railroads would ac-
tomaticaly eliminate the hundreds Of millions paid in taxes
by the railroads annnally-and require the issuance Of billions.
IN bonds to pay for the systems taken over. Lord help the
i politics ever gets its grip on our largest single
industry

CHAPTER v

Eli, the male helper at The House
in the Glen, and also the hus-
band Of Hepsy, was carrying up the
pals of milk in the twilight of the
winter morning, which, in late De-
cember. is after half-past six.
The path between cow shed and
kitchen porch was both narrow and
slippery. the pals Of unequal
weight, so that Eli stopped more
than once to beat his arms across
his chest, as he did so looking down
the Glen due east to Westover.
where the glow of the rising sun
was beginning its daily drama Of
wrapping the little town in flames.
Eli had seen the spectacle SO often
the season round, that by the posi-
ton of the sun in relation to steeple
and roof tops he could tell you the
time OF year with absolute accuracy.
Yet this morning he continued to
gaze, ramming his numb hands deep
into his pockets, and stopping so
long that the pearly foam on the
milk sank discouraged to be woven
into quickly spun icy cobwebs.
1t was not the familiar farm sights
and sounds that absorbed Eli, but
a brilliant light Of unusual hue
shafting through the pine woods that
walled the glen for more than a
mile. Coupled with the strange light
came the metallic sound of the hoofs
Of an unacceptable horse upon the
frozen road. After the fashion of a
countryman who. by thinking aloud,
had kept his wits and perception
keen edged through middle age, Eli
began to argue with himself:
Nov what might that light be-
'Tisn't the trolley, for it's too high
up, besides. no cars run in the
lower glen between ten at night
and seven in the morning. 1t must
be they've hung a light in the tree
at the terminal; there's a dead pine
there oyertops the old factory"
