New Test Of Capital
Market Expected
Next tuesday
Offering Of Colorado
Utility May Stort
Financing Revival
By SMITH REAVIS,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The date
for the reopening of the capital
market to new corporate issues now
has been set for next Tuesday.
Bond circles expect a $50 800 900
offering of mortgage bonds of the
Public Service Co. of Colorado to
break the ice then. 1t has been
drummed up in the Wall Street
gossip as the first important test
OF the demand for new corporate
issues since the war jammed the
financing machinery.
A previously advertised test failed
to come off as planned because un-
derwriters postponed offering plans
But this one is rated more likely to
appear on schedule. providing the
issue clears S. E. C. registry on time
Big-ScaIe Activity Due.
Seasoned observers of the under
writing business suspect a good deal
of longer-range planning for new
issues is going on behind the scenes
because hints have been dropped in
the right places about some big
scale utility reflnancing operations
II the prospective resumption of
financing goes off as hoped.
There is no doubt, some author
tiles assert, that many hundreds of
millions of dollars in new issues are
IN the talk stage, awaiting a favor
able market to be brought up to
the S. E. c. post for public Offering.
Several Of the large utility holding
company systems missed the boat
on the pre-war debt refunding
movement and probably would well
come opportunity to go ahead with
plans, it was said.
Among issues mentioned as slated
for the mill is $63,0O0,OOO refund
ing move by American Gas & Elec-
trio of the Electric Bond & Share
group
Encouragement Needed.
Still shy as a violet in spring is
"ney money" financing-that much
dlscussed-of return to capital spend
ing for plant improvements through
sale of bonds and stocks by Wall
Street underwriting houses.
Reports from Washington shed
some light on the reluctance of in
dustry to borrow for new plants de-
spite capacity or near-capacity op-
erations in stimulated fields,
like steel, machinery, aircraft, NUM-
tions and shipping.
These reports say Washington
quietly has been considering ways
Of encouraging capital expenditures
in essential war industries by tax
concessions. England and France
already have given profit incentives
to some aircraft manufacturers for
expansion of plants to handle for
eign engine and plane orders.
The point is that industry appears
reluctant to embark upon capital
expenditure for fear the war won't
last long enough and that orders
won't be big enough to justify en-
largement of capacity. The World
War and its ensuing over-capacity
in war supply fields rise as con-
slant reminder to businessmen.

THE NEW ORDER IN EAST ASIA

Asia" by Yosaku Nakayasu of the Tokyo newspaper
Nichi Nichi We submit these extracts:
of recent dispatches that which moved the writer
profoundly is the memorial services for coolies who
sacrificed their lives for the of new East Asia
The function held in Marking in connection
with completion of large cenotaph at Hs1akwan dedi-
Gated to the memory of the dead coolies.
"Inasmuch as the proposed establishment of new
crder in East Asia means the development Of natural
resources available it is certain that the sweat of
coolies in both China and Manchukuo will become all
the more necessary
The average wage of coolies recruited from North
China is Y 070 G9 centsl day. according to an in
vestigation made by the Daren Chamber of Commerce
and Industry. Although this is not at all favorable
pay as compared with the wages for some Chinese
plasterers and sawyers lao (39 cents day for
firemen, and 285 III cents) a day for smiths, it
can compare favorably for instance, 053 IA cents
day for cement operatives, Y 065 18 cents) day
for weavers of gunny bags OFT (2l cents) day for
glasslnakers and Y 088 C23 cents) day for male
hands in spinneries.
1T means that the wages of coolies not al
ways SO small as is generally considered Yet I'M
deniabe is the fact that they seemingly satisfied
with the lowest level of human living. Many coolies
live in the open air and often find some of
them living in conditions little different from ami
mails"

MEMORIAL DAY 1889

What remains to be said this Memorial Day
1889 which has not been said by grateful Nation
every May 30 since the observance found place on
our CALENDAR Aside from the renewed tribute TO
the men who died tribute which cannot be spoken
too often, there is this:
An enlightened national conscience, in what COM
pared to 1861 to 1898 and to 1917 is supremely hard
boiled age whispers that the sacrifice called upon
the fallen whom honor today to make in the day
when they alive is too much to ask again of
a generation
We have graves apenty to decorate today, enough
to convince that the stake in any future war could
not for the United States. be valuable enough to tip
the balance against single soldiers life.
Let our young men of today and tomorrow be
heroes in mans everlasting the frontiers OF
science knowledge and the arts They have no need
of shot and shell for agrandizement.
All honor today to the soldiers OF yesterday or
whose graves place flowers; but honor too to the
men of today who by their sober judgment and from
their vantage point of seeing the anguished history
of Americas in perspective are sparing tomor
rows tears
On Memorial Day 1889 the finest wish of the livin
and one which is no libel the memory Of thu
hcnored dead-is that we may have no more faler

Inside the wall" Professor

citadel.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 81. 1889
Mingled good and evil planetary
influences are discerned in the horo-
scope for today, according to-. as
trology The morning hours may be
disturbing and difficult.
Under this configuration it is not
lucky to start anything to be built
or developed. Initiative may be un-
fortunate and disappointing.
Commerce should be brisk. There
is sign read as presaging many
shipments from Atlantic sea ports.
Although the stars seem to en-
courage a kindly attitude toward
humanity there will be suspicion
and misrepresentation in interna-
tional relations.
Efforts to spread in the United
States prejudices and hatreds prevs-
lent in Europe and Asia may cause
anxiety and may lead to unwise
attempts to suppress harmless Or
CARNATIONS as well as those with
subversive aims.
Labor difficulties are to become
less marked and final settlement of
antagonisms among leaders is prog
nosticated. The early summer will
be marked by strikes. but they will
bring about better understandings
Cooperation between employers
and employees is to be forced
through unusual events of national
concern. The summer is to be a
period of industrial progress.
Girls will do well to attend to
their routine duties today. The stars
frown upon romance and stimulate
practical pursuits. College students
should prepare for careers of gem
eral usefulness.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of more than
average good fortune Both men
and women will travel.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be high-tempered and in
clined toward arrogant assertion of
rights. These subjects of Gemini
usually are shrewd as well as tai
ented and many attain great sue
cess.

The Real" Charley Ross
PHILADELPHIA Recordl

When Charley and Walter Ross disappeared from
front of their Germantown home, on July l, 1874,
their parents were not alarmed Not until Walter,
who was T. had been released and came home to tell
how men, in a horse and buggy, had taken Charley
away.
1t was a plain The Ross family was
well-to-do but not rich The $4,000 demanded was
waiting, taken to many places suggested by the
kdnapers But contact was made-not until the
kidnapers were captured and killed in December of
that year Many have forgotten about that how
one of two burglars shot and killed instantly at
the home of Judge Van Brunt at Bay Ridge l.. L..
and the other dying, confessed that they had been
the Ross kidnapers but that the dead thief Mosher
alone knew where the boy had been taken.
On Monday last Arizona court recognized one
Gustav Blair the real Charley Ross" Since 1884
Blair has been touring the country acquiring proofs
of his identity affdavts by the bale. His ears, he
claims the peculiar type which distinguished the
golden haired child and he got $4,000 from one
Chris johnson to finance his search in deal report
ed 1885 by which he agreed to pay the sum back,
plus $4,000 if he control of the Ross estate
That deal was witnessed agreement Since it was
made, johnson tried to get his money back.
The real Charley Ross?
Does it matter? The only real Charley Ross was
four year old bright-faced boy whoe blond curls
caused the questioning of countless parents of other
boys with blond curls. The only Charley Ross that
was went away that June day. He never came
back and he never will. For Charley Ross has become
a legend and whoever the Arizona carpenter was
65 years ago. he can't today by court decree, be
the ageless symbol of of the greatest of American
tragedies.
