The transactions covered a period of sev

BANKS GET C. & 0. STOCK
Hawley Group Hit in Recent
Slump. Rumors Say..
For several days there have been rumors
In Wall Street that one or more promi
nent associates of Edwin Hawiey had been
hard hit in the recent slump in the stock
market and had Ben forced to liquidate a
large part of- their holdings in Chesapeake
& Ohio, Inlerboroush-Metropoiitan and
other stocks in which the Hawley KTonp is
interested.
The truth of the matter, it was learned
in well Informed banking circles yesterday,
was that two men who have been more or
less affiliated with Mr. Hawiey In some of
his deals had Ben obliged to transfer in
the neighborhood of fifty thousand shares
of the stocks mentioned to ■ bankins syn
dicate. The transaction, it was said, in no
way affected Mr. Haw-ley or his more
prominent associates.
One of the rumors that have been in cir
culation was thit Theodore P. Shonts. presi
dent of the Interbnrouprh-Metropolitan Com
pany and one of the most prominent mem
bers of the Hawley RTotxp. was one of The
men who had been, obliged To "let go" a
larsre part of his holdings In Chesapeake &
Ohio and Interborough-Metropolitan at a
loss of about $2,000,000. Mr. Shonts. when
asked yesterday as to th« truth of the re
port, ..;;frhinply said that it was news to
him.
"I never trade in the market." he added,
"and therefore could not have met with
any losses in the recent break."
The forced liquidation of their Chesa
peake & Ohio holdings by two of the
less important members of the Hawley
grroup, it was said, did not affect control
of that property, the total amount of
Chesapeake <£ Ohio stock involved not being
more than twenty thousand shares. •
It was the belief in the banking- quarters
that the takine over by a banking syndi
cate of this block of Chesapeake Si Ohio
and other stocks had pretty well cleaned
up such, weak spots of this character as
had existed.

NEW-YORK DAILY TIUBIXE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1&10.
FOR ASSESSMENT SUBWAYS
City Club Maintains Principle Is
Right for Extensions.
The City Club issued yesterday a reply to
a criticism lately published on the subject
of assessment subways.
The reply refers to a memorandum ad
dressed to the Public Service Commission
by the City Club in October, 1908, entitled
"Building of Rapid Transit Lines in New
York City by Assessment Upon Property
Benefited." The reply says: "The conclu
sions (in the criticism) in regard to the In
ability of the taxpayer to pay are invali
dated for three reasons: First, by the as
sumption that he must pay for a covered j
subway, instead of a. connecting rapid
transit line; second, by the failure to con
sider on the credit side of the column the
enhanced value of the taxpayer's property,
and. . third, by the failure to distinguish
the cases to which even its friends do not
propose to appiy the assessment principle."
The City Club says that the assumption
that assessment rapid transit routes would
be covered subways costing $1,509,000 a mile
was wrong, as the assessment plan was
that ail trunk subways would be built by
general taxation, while the extensions were
to be built by assessment. These extensions
would be elevated or open roads, either of
which would cost approximately $500,000 a
mile, thus cutting down the critic's esti
mate of the assessment on each lot from
$150 to $50.
On the statement that cost of equipment
would equal cost of construction, the City
Club points out that it equalled in the
present subway just 50 per cent of the cost
| of construction, and that equipment for an
assessment rapid transit connection ought
not to cost more than $500,000 a mile. The
total cost would then be $1,000,000 a mile
instead of (3,000.600, giving a total assess
ment of $10f> a lot instead of: the estimate
of $300 a lot, the club says.
In regard to the second point, the esti
mate of $500 a lot does not take into con
sideration the fact that the value of the
lot will rise when the subway is put in. as
is seen by the actual rise in the case of
the present subway.
On {he third point, the assessment plan
was not intended to include any district
served even fairly adequately by existing
rapid transit routes.
The important point is. the City Club in
sists, that property enhanced in value by
the extension to it of a. rapid transit sub
way connection should pay for the con
struction of the line to the extent that the
increased value warrants it, instead of re
ceiving such increased value as a present
from the city
HUGHES NOT TO GIVE ORDER
Says Relief for Pollution of Hud
son Is Through New Law.
In reply to Edward Hatch, jr.'s, recent
communication in which he urged Gov
ernor Hughes to issue an order prohibiting
pulp and other mills along the upp»r Hud
son from defiling the stream with their
waste products, the Governor, through his
secretary. Georare Curtis Treadwell. says:
"Governor Hughes directs me to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter of the 2Cd
instant. Th«« Governor is deeply interested
in the question of saving our streams from
pollution and has made the matter a sub
ject of repeated recommendations to the
Legislature.
"The Governor does not think that, tak
ing the law as it stands, the desirable end
you have in view can be attained by ex
ecutive mandate. Nor. in his judgment, Is
the cause to which you refer of a char
acter which, under the law, would justify
the issuance of an executive order.
"The Governor hopes that in the near fut
ure there will be suitable legislation deal-
Ing with there matters. Of course, where
the rights of riparian owners are infringed
they have their remedies in the courts."
Commenting on the Governor's letter, Mr.
Hatch said yesterday:
"Of course. I do not question the Gov
ernor's desire to abate the nuisance against
which he has directed 'repeated recom
mendations to the Legislature,' but, inas
much as these have signally failed to pro
duce results. I think he would be justified
in taking- matters into bis own hands, es
pecially when the health of the people is
at stake. "

CENTRAL CLEARING HOUSE
Each State to Have One for
Postal Banks.
Washington, Aug. 3.— A central clearing
house in each state for settling a!l ques
tions connected witk the payment of in
terest and the care of accounts 13 a fea
ture of the postal savings bank system
adopted by the committee of officials that
will make recommendations to the board of
trustees. For a long time the committee
laced the necessity of providing some
method for the settlement of accounts of
depositors that would avoid delay incident
to the transmission of all such questions to
this city. The idea of having state central
clearing houses has been adopted as th»:
best solution of that problem.
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who ox
rived in New York yesterday from hi
European trip. is expected here to-morrow.
In a short time a meeting- of the trustees
will be held, at -which the recommendations
of the committee on organization will be
reviewed.
Because much of the information desired
from foreign governments has not been
received, the task of determining the exact
nature of the forms to be used will not
he completed until later. The general plan
for the establishment of banks, however,
has been worked out for the. consideration
of the trustees.

the French crop made the yield 257.000.000
bushels, against 390.900.000 las'- year, asia "•"

COITOX — the Southwest drouth situ
ation was unrelieved, cotton prices wens de
cidedly higher, showing an extreme advance
on new crop positions of about 25 points,
while September at one tim« was up 27 points.
Commission houses were all large buyers, and
in the afternoon some of the heaviest buying
of new crop positions was for the account of
Wall Street interests who had unloaded their
lines on the government report and were
fored to replace them at a material advance.
Southern bulls were strong supporters of Sep
tember, one of thorn, in fart, offering to buy
all the September the market would sell at
14.36 c. They also bought new crop positions
trebly. Liverpol was fully 6(g 10 points better
than due before the local opening, and closed.
5&9% points net higher. A large amount
of fiKglit room has been engaged for August
shipment of cotton to Europe, some estimates
running as high as 100.000 bales, practically
ex'mustlng the available room. The local
certificated «toek showed a decrease of 8.600
