Morgan's railway financing has been scheduled by the Interstate Commerce commission as an incident to its hearings in the matter of the freight rate increase. The part taken by George W. Perkins in the Cincinnati, Hamilton DaytonMarquette deal is to engage the attention of Mr. Folk, counsel for the commission. Perkins, it is the active agent for Morgan in unloading forty millions of valueless securities on the innocent stockholders of the Baltimore Ohio system.

The story, SO far brought to light, is about as follows: A crowd of enterprising Boston financiers figured out a way to hold up Morgan-or thought they had. They had been interested in the copper properties in northern Michigan and their plan, briefly, was to consolidate the various copper railroads into the Pere Marquette system, then to consolidate the Pere Marquette with the H. and this with the Cincinnati Louisville R. after which they were to get an outlet through the or through Kentucky and southwest to the Gulf for a competing line of road menacing the monopoly of Morgan's railroads. They did the usual trick of raising money by issuing securities to buy the new lines, until the Pere Marquette had become bankrupt and the H.

D. had taken on a load of debt amountto $40,000,000 than the original bonded indebtedness.

MARTIN, Distributor. 314 Upper Second St. THE ART SHOP. Perkins buy the staggering and water-logged Pere Marquette later the H. D.

The Pere Marquette was "reorganized" by Perking with five millions of capital raised by special assessment, but this was soon used up and in 1910 the road went into the hands of a receiver. Morgan had meantime acquired control of the H. and had become owner of $7,400,000 worth of common stock of this road. The H. had issued all kinds of obligations to carry the Pere Marquette and subsidiary lines.

All the roads had been scrimped on maintenance in to pay interest on notes, and unorder. earned dividends on preferred stock. The properties were bankrupt, but Morgan was unwilling to have a receiver appointed because a receivership would have wiped out the common stock of which he' held upward of seven when they take millions. Ananciers do What, a loss is illustrated by what Morgan had Perkins do in this case. HARRIMAN CHECKED DEAL He looked around for one of his other corporations to take over this load of indebtedness.

First he tried to unload it on the Erie, while Harriman was in China, but Harriman got back in time, though 1il and the point of death, to ur vent this, and tile Erie, which had taken over the stock, actually forced Morgan to take it back. But Harriman was a very sick man Perkins went on with the job and soon unloaded the whole burden on the Baltimore Ohio. The latter road has issued short-time notes and dug up funds wherever possible to pay the indebtedness on this Morgan "property." PERKINS MUST EXPLAIN But the peculiar thing about the affair is that there is nothing in annual report of the B. O. to indicate that they are the owners of this valuable property or to throw any light on the fact that they have incurred all kinds of liabilities the shape of vin short-term notes to pay Mr.

Morgan's losses in the H. Pere Marquette deal. Just why is one of those secrets known to high finance and the makers of annual railway reports to stock-, holders. Morgan is dead, but George W. Perkins is alive and, as these happenings were comparatively recent, going back only to 1910- 11, Mr.

Perking will be asked to furbish up his memory and tell the Interstate Commerce commission all about it. Steamer Hopkins, Four to Henderson Sunday, 25c. Trips Straw Hats.
