X director of the company, discussing that rubject yesterday, said thai the Increase In stock 412 not necessarily mean that any spedno plan for extension was under consideration now by the management, but it did mean that the di rectors realized that the time was coming for blf»fr. things, and that it had been considered fair for the stockholders to take their part in the expansion. The old policy of making ex pansions out of the surplus earnings, he tsi'., tjrts not necessary any longer. XEir HAVEN ROAD SELLS. Disposes of Trolley Holdings, 'An ticipating State Action. Boston.

Charged with extortion, Maury L. Freeman, a stock transfer tax examiner, employed In tho State Controller's office at William street and Exchange Place, was locked up at Police Head quarters last night on the complaint of a Broad street mining company, which alleges that $250 was demanded by him. The prisoner gave his address as Xo. 146 Bay 81st street. Brooklyn. According to the police, Freeman In July went to Joseph Shanfleld. at No. 25 Broad street, who Is the New York representative of the Arizona Copper Belt Mining Company, whose main office Is In Denver. He asked. It is alleged. If the company was complying with the stock transfer law. Mr. Shanfleld said he was unfamiliar with the law. Freeman. It is said, told Mr. Shanfield that he need not bother with the law If one of two things were done. He then explained, Mr. Shan field says, that one way to avoid the law was to move the company to Now Jersey, and the other was "to see him." He told Mr. Shanfleld, It is alleged, that he was the Inspector of the Broad street district arid, that he was able to cover everything. He is alleged to have said that by the payment of $250 everything would be all right. Mr. Shanfleld says that ho told Freeman to call in a few days, as he would have to com municate with his office In Denver before any action was taken. The Detective Bureau was Informed, and Detective Sergeant Thor was put on the case. Arrangements were made, it Is said, to have Freeman call at the office yes terday. Mr. Shanfleld went to the bank and got five $10 bills, and. taking the numbers, mailed them to Acting Police Inspector Dunn on Wednesday night. Thor went to Shanfleld's office yesterday morn ing and occupied a desk near Mr. Shanfleld. Late in the afternoon Freeman entered and sat down between the two. He talked with Mr. Shan fleld for a few minutes, and then, it is alleged. Mr. Shanfleld gave him marked money. As Freeman started to go out. Thor arrested him. He was Immediately taken to Police Headquar ters, where he was searched. The police say the marked $50 was found in his possession. "The numbers also corresponded with the num bers sent to the Detective Bureau the night be fore, the police Bay. In the prisoner's pockets, the police say, they found a tax certificate and a pune-h which is need to cancel stamps. Freeman said: "I am shocked at the Idea of my arrest. 1 have done nothing." TO ISSUE BIG STOCK. Chicago, Milwaukee $ St. Paul to Put Out $25,000,000. The directors of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company decided at their meeting yesterday to Issue to stockholders of record August 29 practically all the J25.000.000 treasury stock, the issuing of which was authorized in 1903 for ex tending the road through to the Pacific Circulars will be sont to the stockholders describing the pur poses and method of the new issue. Common stock at par, to the value of 23 per oent of their present holdings, la to be iasuod to tba stockholders. It had been understood that the management contemplated issuing $25,000,000 stock and J25.000.000 convertible bonds. At present the St. Paul's outstanding stock amounts to $58,183,900 common and $49,654,400 pre ferred. Contracts for the extension work, expected to cost from t50.000.000 to $75,000,000. were let last fall. It was at that time that the Issue of the $50.- O^O.OOO stocks and bonds was contemplated, and the nnnouncement yesterday that only half that amount had been authorized suggested tho likelihood of some changes In the plans for extension to file ooast. Nothing 1 along that line could be learned definitely, but in railroad circles the opinion wuia advanced that perhaps some arrangement 'was In contemplation by which the Bt. Paul people) would find it unnecessary to build as much road as had been counted on at first, being permitted to use the tracks of somo other line. The Union Pacific end the Northern Pacific were cited as lines where this course might be followed. BUILDIXG IN Hardware, Plumbers' Material and Skilled Mechanics Needed. The California Promotion Committee, which was organized in ISO 2to glvo publicity to the resources and to promote the settlement and development of California, has. In view of the interest now being taken in California affair* because of the San Fran cisco disaster, opened an Eastern Bureau In this city, under tho management of Colvin B. Brown. The executive committee of the organization la composed of twenty-two of the best known business men of the states, representing Important financial, commercial and Industrial enterprises, while the advisory committee, which is somewhat larger. In cludes the Governor of the state, the presidents of the University of California, and the Leland Stan ford Junior University, such state officials as the State Mineralogist, Horticultural Commissioner and State Forester, and representatives of all the rail way companies doing business in California and all the steamship companies operating from its ports. It will be seen that it is a substantial, and should be an effective, organization, and that information furnished by it should be trustworthy. The first Instalment of news of this character which has come to hand is a summary of the status of the building operations In San Francisco for the week ended August 11. which Is as follows: When the fire came to San Francisco there were 120,000.000 feet of lumber in the yards of the city, and 50,000,00) feet of this was burned. Immediately after the lire several shiploads came Into port, and a raft containing 8,000,000 feet was towed down from the Columbia Kivtr, and is now being broken up In Mission Bay. In the Oakland yards. Just across the bay, there are about 30,000,000 feet, which can be delivered In San Francisco on two days' notice. Hundreds of cars loac «l with lumber are now in the freight yards waiting to be unloaded, and two of the largest rafts ever built axe being made ready for towing to San Francisco in the Columbia River, and will reach here within the next thirty days. Structural steel for permanent buildings is yet In marked demand, but what orders have been for warded to the Eastern foundries are being readily tilled, and the manufacturers say there will be no delay in sending forward all that is required. In builders' hardware and plumbers' supplies there is a shortage, owing to the freight blockage, which has tied up many care of these supplies. I>ealors arc selling direct from the curs, instead of waiting to have the goods transferred to their tem porary stores and warehouses. It is estimated by dealers that there will be an ample supply of those materials for all purposes now as rapidly as they are wanted. For foundation work the supply of crushed stone is equal to the demand. The quarries and rock crushers in the vicinity of San Francisco have » daily capacity of between 6,000 and 7,000 cubic yards. For all sorts of conccte work, now this supply will be ample. Cement, which enters largely Into all permanent construction now, is in plentiful supply for Im mediate demand, and it la estimated that with tho several cemont works in California working night and day, as they are now doing, together with aov eral ships en route from Europe, loaded with ce ment, and due to arrive this month, the market will be fully able to meet all calls. Brick shows no shortage. The brick plants In and nbout San Francisco have ample capacity to turn out all that will bo needed, with the exception of glazed and facing brick, which is shipped in from tho East. It is estimated that the demand for brick will reach 1.000,000 a day by September 1. The va«t Quantities of brick from the walls of the burned buildings la being utilised, and it is clalmeS I that the heat of the fire simply Increased their I durability. , M -< The .supply of skilled mechanics is far below the demand. In tho building trades there is a scarc ity in nil department*. Wages far above th« minimum »«cule are being paid, in some Instances going as liK'h as $8 a day. The minimum scale is the basis of employment, but the demand for good .workmen Is so great that much higher rates are being paid ull over the city. The latest estimate of men doing reconstruction work places the num ber at thirty thousand. Of those twenty-three thousand are skilled mechanics belonging to the building trades. There Is an espeoial shortaco In plasterers, bricklayers, carpenters, bridge and structural ironworkers, gas and electric fixture hangers, architectural Ironworkers, cabinetmakers, sheet metal workers and elevator constructors. According to estimates of contractors who are figuring on work to bo dona In reconstruction and repair of buildings about $8,000,000 will be expended in a very short time on this work alone. Plans for eighteen new Claws "A" buildings have been com pleted mid the structures will go up as soon as men and material e*n be obtained. Fourteen other Class "A" buildings are Jbelng planned for imme diate construction. . .- .- . fifNNSVLVAiIA RAILROAD.
