Does 1t mean that we can't criti-

consistent critic of administration
foreign policy.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA congre-
CATION Of 10000 worshiped yester-
day in the largest Gothic cathedral
in the world-the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine-New York'S great
monument of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church.
For the first time. as Bishop Will
liam T. Manning delivered the ser
mon, churchgoers solemnly viewed
the awe-inspiring full vista of the
edifice that still is only tWo-t thirds
of the way toward completion.
From the Revelation of St. John
the Divine, Bishop Manning intoned
his teXt-"Alleluia: For the Lord
God Omnipotent Reigneth"-and
from the altar his voice carried a
full one-tenth of a mile to the five
portals Of the majestic west front.
AS he told of the 500 10000 that
has been spent and the hundreds Of
thousands of hours Of labor that
have been served since the corner
stone of the cathedral was put In
place 40 years ago, worshipers

rose window in the world-a window
40 feet in diameter and made of
10000 separate pieces of glass-and
contemplated the solemn splendor

Bishop Manning reviewed the
long story Of the cathedrars con-

which little or no work was done,
and of the manner in which persons
Of all denominations contributed
funds to the end that the United
States would eventually have one of
the greatest, if not the greatest,
cathedrals in the world.
Completion of the cathedral will
cost an additional $4,000, officials
said.
Built entirely Of granite, without
single steel or oaken beam, the
cathedral. after 1t is completed. is
expected to outlive even the greatest

for 1000 years or longer as a monu-

Stock Exchange Reports
1910 Loss OF S275,301
Rv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-The New
York Stock Exchange reported to-
dav 1910 net operating loss of
S275 5,301, compared with an operat-
ing loss of S490.441 the previous
year.
After allowing for depreciation on
properties and for security sales
losses. the deficit for the year
amounted to 1881 .348, compared with
81 1883 in 1889.
The drain on cash, however, was
only $4,000 after counting the re-
ceipt of S232 900 in initiation fees
last year. Initiation fees, it was ex-
planned, are treated as capital con-
tributions in the exchanges ac-
counting.
"As has been the case in other
recent years y the report to members
said, "the exchanges inability in
1910 to balance its budget arose
largely out OF its excess holdings of
real estate"

on the exchange was at low ebb for

NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-The stock
market negotiated another last
minute rally today and leading
steels, motors and aircrafts closed a
rather spotty session with gains of
fractions TO 2 or more points.
The list extended Mondays up
swing in the forenoon. Prices then
began to slip and top marks were
well reduced or transformed into
declines after midday Buyers
stepped in as the session drew TO a
finish and a number of favorites
emerged at or near their peak levels
of the day.
While slow intervals were plenti-
full, dealings picked up shortly after
the opening and in the final quarter
of an hour. Transfers were around
100000 shares.
The principal bolstering influence,
brokers thought, was the passage bv
the House Of the amended excess
profits tax bill and hope the measure
would get quick approval in the
Senate.
War tension seemed to have less
ened as a speculative motivator and
business news. including a batch of
optimistic earnings statements,
served TO restrain liquidation as well
as promote reinstatement of COM
mltmentS here and there.
Wall Street was unable to work up
much enthusiasm over the institu-
tion of aluminium and machine tool
prioritieS by defense authorities, but
the understanding was that private
consumers would be rationed for
urgent needs until substitutes could
be found.
Action of President Roosevelt in
placing additional articles needed in
the armament program under the
export licensing system was without
especially disturbing repercuSsions.

Above Year Ago
President White Cites
Favorable Outlook at
Annual Meeting
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-William
White. new president of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western Rail-
road, told stockholders at their an
nual meeting today that figures so
far this year indicated an increase
of to 10 per cent in the systems
business.
"If such favorable conditions con-
tinue, the present year should pro-
duce more satisfactory results than
have prevailed for several years" he
said.
Mr.. White, who became president
of the line January l. was reelected
to that Office. and John M. Davis,
former president, was elected to the
board as chairman.
In the election of officers the man
agement polled 1.l03511 votes, all
but 1908 of the total cast.
Most of the 10000 were in the
form of proxies by P. j. Conway of
PittSton.
Conway told the 40 stockholders
assembled that he had advertised for
proxies and read extracts from sew
eral letters he had received in reply.
The letters variously asked what
had happened to scrap rails and
criticized some operating conditions.
And what chiefly want to call to
your attention" said the Pittston
Stockholder, lis the high salaries
paid the management of the Lacka-
wanna line.
Now Mr. White, you haven't been
very long with the Lackawanna. but
you must be aware of the conditions.
The last time the road paid a divi-
dend was in 81. My claim is against
the extraordinary salary paid off,
GERS.
Last year, Mr.. Davis received as
president $4,000. Now the presi-
dent of the Atchison. which is 10
times as big. only got s6O,000"
White answered. Lets forget
things that have gone over the Dam
and look ahead throughout future
operations"
The new president said the roads
managerial salaries were "only pin
prick in the cost of operations. and
asserted that they amounted to less
than per cent of expenses.
For a few minutes Conway en-
gagged in a controversy with another
stockholder. Joshua A. Rich of New
York, who previously had questioned
White regarding freight revenues.
The controversy between Rich and
Conway, who simultaneously at
tempted to assume the floor, finally
grew so excited that White suggested
they might continue their debate
outside the meeting. Both subsidized,
announcement was made of the elec-
ton. and the meeting adjourned.
All the members of the Board of
Managers were reelected, with the
addition of Robert Winthrop, nephew
of the late Beekman Winthrop,
whose death last November made a
vacancy on the board.
