That would call for and then have $50,000,000 of new money, in addition to saving a million and a a year, $12,500,000 as asainst we would get $50,000,000 without citing us anything and jsave a million and a half a.

When we came to look into that we concluded the only time to do it was when the preferred! stock was below parkas it would then be some inducement with people to take the bonds. Tf they had stock at 95 bay and could turn it into bonds at par they might feel that there was something in it and further we can only do it whejn the preferred stock is held in large blocks, so we could get a syndicate of it "We began to look about for the large preferred stockholders and have been successful after, two or three months work in getting up a good sized syndicate of large stockholders who would put up their preferred stock and underwrite, for the success of the thing, provided the stockholders generally did not take it Idea of the Finance Committee. "The idea of the finance committee was that we would make an offer to all of the preferred stockholders and say: "Will you exchange forty per cent of the preferred stock, for these second mortgage 'and if they did not do it, then the syndicate would; stand ready to do so to a reasonable extent; and if we did not get the entire forty per cent, say for instance, we only got twenty per cent, we would issue 25 per; cent of additional, bonds for whatever stock we took up.

That is, if we took up twenty per cent of the preferred stock, or we could issue $25,000,000 of txwida in place of $50,000,000. "Wet. thought it would a desirable plaii in a good hwhy ways; it would give us $50,000,000 without cost; it would wipe out those inherited Improvements; and pay the Rockefeller notes. We have made an arragement with them to take those bonds in settlement of their obligations, which is a good thing of course, and leave us an additional sum of money that might be used in re-organizing some of the pluut and doing things that we want to have done in Chicago and for the bridge company at Pittsburg. "In this way the money jreally would earn in two ways? first, in the handling of the products between the mills, saving in management in handling the business and increasing the efficiency of the mills so as to give a larger output and make more money in that way.

"As to how the stockholders will take it, it seems to us, if the preferred stock was reduced about forty per cent the remaining sixty per cent would be more favorable and the preferred stock holders might look at it in way. We have thought the bonds might be thirty year bonds and convertible into preferred stock within ten years and redeemable at the convenience of the company after ten years at 110. ,1 "Another thing we would accomplish: If we got forty per cent of the preferred stock in obligations maturing in fifty years we would be creating a sinking fund for retiring what is considered some of the water in the So far as the common stock is concerned, this is going to help it, because the earning capacity of the $50,000,000 would go towards the common vstock. We have worked out a form of bond and are going to submit it to the board. I report this matter now so we may talk over the plan if you desire.

We propose to offer the whole thing to the preferred stockholders and let them vote on it" I Judge Gary Quoted. i Continuing, the record quoted Judge Gary as asking if the option would be extended to all and if the finance committee proposed to make an elastic bond "so you can, if necessary, issue bonds in place of preferred stock." The remainder of the record was as follows: I "Mr. Perkins: No, we think that would be dangerous. We figured forty per cent because we believe that $50,000,000 of second mortgage bonds would be considered very good, whereas, if we called $500,000,000 of preferred stock, the universal criticism would be that the bonds are not better security than! the stock and "if you pass the dividends on the preferred stock you would not be in the hands of a receiver and if yon passed the interest on the bonds you would be "Mr. Roberts: Will the common stockholders be invited to subscribe to these bonds? I "Mr.

Perkins: No, We thought that we ought not to be allowed to do that because we have tried to see where the justice was. The preferred stdckhojders are entitled to as fair treatment as can be given them for. giving np their forty per cent of the stock and the common ought not be allowed to take these bonds. Moreover, the common stockholders have benefited by the earning capacity of the $50,000,000 put into the improvements. COOLER WEATHER AT PINE CAMP.

SI Charge is Made Against Offi- cers of Imperial Window Glass Company. Pittsburg, Aug. 8. That the stockholders of the Imperial Window Glass Compp.ny, which was haled into the United States courts last October for violation of the Sherman act, have been defrauded of a quarter of a million dollars, is the allegation made in an equity suit filed in court here by Monro Lemon, a former employe.

R. Johnson, ad also names President Myrori L. Case, Vice-President Mark J. Healy and Treasurer J. G.

Sayre. Lemon asks an injunction restraining the further disbursement of moneys and prays that a receiver be appointed to wind up the affairs of the corporation. It is alleged in the papers filed that the corporation was defrauded of $250,000 which the petitioner declares Johnson and others conspired to divide among themselves, under pretext of paying to outside parties, for pretended services to the company.

Chairman Stanley of the committee, declared that he regarded the question of ore hfJiMTig as one of the most important at issue and that the committee would welcome reliable testimony from any re putable scientist. "My mind is as open on that question as it was when I though the Steel Corporation had a monopoly of coking coal of the country," said the chairman. He added that the committee might take a recess with the adjournment of congress, but that in such an event the matter would be thoroughly taken" up later.

As to the interest paid, Mr. Stanley asked if it was 2.6 per cent The witness did not remember, but thought that was right Chairman Stanley then referred to records of a meeting of the United State?
