FARM.MORTGAGE DEBT
EXCEEDS 7 BILLIONS

A farm m-mortgage debt in excess Of
$1,000, 100000 was reported today by
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
This burden of debt on farms OF
America, as of January /. 1887. repre-
sents a decline of ST. per cent from
January l, 1885, and indicates a con-
tinuation of the decline in farm-mort-
gage debt shown by previous estimates
This is the smallest mortgage debt
reported in more than II years. The
amount of debt increased during the
192Os; it reached a peak around 1880,
and annual estimates for 1885. 1886
and 1887 have shown successive de-
clines. The reduction since 1880, it
was explained. has been largely the
result of liquidation of debt by fore
closure during the depression and Of
adjustments by public and private
agencies since then.

NEW YORK, May l7-Moderate
offerings of railroad bonds today
wiped out part Of the recent gains in
that division of the market and re-
suited in many losses running to 3
points in late trading.
Contributing to the sell-off in the
rails, brokers said, was a rumor an
unnamed road had approached insti-
tutional holders with proposal for
reduction in interest payments.
Hudson e. Manhattan bonds, cover
ing the carrier link under the Hudson
River between Manhattan and New
Jersey, spurted about points after an
I. c. c. examiner had recommended
a boost from to cents in passenger
fares between Hudson Terminal. New
York, and Jersey City and Hoboken
stations.
Among the hardest hit rail bonds
were obligations of Baltimore & Ohio,
Northern Pacific. Southern Pacific,
Pere Marquette and Southern. New
York City traction issues also relin-
pushed part of their recent wide ad-
vances.
A few corporate bonds made some
headway, among them Loew's 312s. In

hem Steel 3&s.

ACTION AWAITED
Directors Meet Tomorrow.
Maintenance of Rate
Discussed Widely.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
epecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 17.-Directors Of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. meet Wednesday for dividend ac-
ton, and, as usual there is wide
spread discussion as to maintenance OF
the SO annual rate.
Telephone paid s2.25 quarterly all
through the last depression and has
kept it up so far during this one. Even
when the disbursement was not being
earned, as was the case for the fouI
years from 1882 to 1895, inclusive, the
regular declaration was made.
Back in the new era, when the
stock market scared to unprecedented
heights and Telephone sold above $500
q share, there was never any question
Of increasing the rate or of splitting
up the stock. The announced policy
Of the board was to maintain the
shares on strictly investment basis.
The thing the management kept in
mind was the fact that the great ma
jority Of the stockholders bought for
income and not for speculation and
that the directors had the RESPONSE
bility Of insuring, as far as possible,
continuity of payments That is still
the policy. but, Of course. conditions
could arise which would leave no al
tentative but reduction.
Change Held Unlikely.
1t may be taken for granted that
no change will be made unless either
the actual earnings situation compels
1t or the longer outlook forces it. Tele-
phone earned 1891 a share for the
IL months ending February % last, 50
that, on that basis, the dividend was
covered. For the quarter ending at
the same time. however, earnings were
at the annual rate Of s776 a share,
or well under dividend requirements.
The first question. then. is whether
this doWntrend will continue.
There are other considerations. One
Is the Government attitude toward the
industry. On April l last, the Federal
Communications Commission made
public report, drawn up by a member
OF the commission, summarizing the
results of its long and costly in
vestigation into the workings Of the
Bell System.
The report came to the conclusion
that telephone charges for service
could be cut Is per cent, statement
which was characterized as ridiculous
by the COMPANY.
Commission Silent.
This report, however, was never in
dorsed by the commission as q whole
and. Of late, nothing has been heard
Of it.
Telephone stock has ranged this
year between a high Of l49& on
January 10 and a low Of Ill on March
80. the last figure established before
the Federal report came out. Publica-
ton of that document was followed by
vigorous rally in the stock. due. In
part at least, to short covering. Since
that time, there has been additional
short selling, mostly in odd lots. The
stock closed just under 130 Monday.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Prescrip- ton for feeling about as big as @ freckle on a fleas nose: any trip, any time, to the Radio City Music Hall.
 Iii this chromiumed, mirrored vastness the good old Hollywood descriptive colossal" seems subtle Iunderstatement. Without bothering your head or mine with figures, I'd
 guess that Hollywood's Chinese theatre, the Warner Bros. Holly wood, and the Los Angeles Para mount could fit neatly into a small portion of the building, and the Auditorium itself, seating 6,500, could take care of the crowds at those three coast houses on any given night.
 There is nothing like the Music Hall anywhere else in America, and lyet it isn't New York's. It isn't Hollywood's, either. It's a sort of American institution-the ultimate in movie houses. It had it's begin ming, actually, when Thomas A Edison built his "black Maria" box of a studio over in Jersey; when

 Mine, @ quite remarkable fellow in my estimation did with com parative ease, only once losing the trail and for a couple of terrified moments near a scenery dock con- fessing his forebodingS that the two of us might have to rough it there until the searching parties came, or whatever is the Music Hall equivalent of St. Bernards. This gloomy prospect-for one not an actor cannot live on scenery alone was happily unfulfilled. The last door he tried led us to escape Remember how Tom Sawyer felt when he and Becky Thatcher crawled out of the cave? It was a little like that with us.
 But then my friend had the te- merity to suggest extending oul tour to include Radio City in its colossal entirety. I limped, could not run, to the nearest exit. Just the way a two-miler would have done if at the end of his grind he were urged to enter the marathon starting Immediately.

Columnist Tells About Ii After Linking Madri-
 guerra and Powers
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Tell me, magic mirror, why Ernie Madriguera has such a sad face. I saw him last night at a private showing of Alex ander's Ragtime Band" His resem- blance to Tyrone Power was SC striking I continually had to look from one to the other, to satisfy myself that wasn't seeing double.
 But only Madriguera was there really. He sat fifth row on the aisle, holding his straw hat in his lap, gazing straight ahead. Tyrone Power was on the screen, sharing honors with Don Ameche and play ing the role of sensitive, some what melancholy young man who seemed hurt but didn't want any one to know it. And by some cur ious chance of studio makeup he had become Madriguera's twin.
 l have always thought that Ma driguera's- countenance was eXcep- tionauy sensitive and sad. On the few occasions I have seen him he has never spoken to anybody unless they speak to him. Sometimes in nightclubs, occasionally in theatres, once in a taxi I saw him, and always he wore that quiet, resigned expression of breeding melancholy,
 When he sees this he probably will demand, What the hell do you mean telling people I'm g. Pagliacci?n And T wont. have any satisfactory answer to give-except,

 The story of "Dr. Syn" is full of action-it deals with the snug gling exploits of 8 well-known Kentish fishing village more than hundred years ago; it has tIimor, tension, excitement.

 Rainbow and Congress pools, nor mally quiet and colorful little bodies of water, suddenly have turned into spouting whirlpools. Their vicious torrents have washed away the walks which were constructed so that tourists might get a glimpse of the placid waters.
 Rainbow is spouting 60 feet into the air; Congress is tossing out a water spout of almost pure mud. It has drifted over the highways and fences and has covered them with gray powder.
