GIFTS FOR POOR
ARE INCREASING
Macon Will Provide Many
Dinners
Dublin and Savannah railroad to the
Atlantic Coast Line Is now before the
United States court in due form. It
comes before the court on a bill in
equity, the title of the case being
Robert A. Shailer vs. the Macon, Dub
lin and Savannah railroad et al.
The sudden transfer of this road
from the original stockholders to other
parties—the road being the last of the
independent railroad lines of the state*
—has, as the Telegraph*has hitherto
reported aroused great apprehension
on the part of those who looked to the
Jlne for their transportation. The
name of the complainant has not hith
erto appeared in the public reports,
yet he is the owner of 126 of the shares
of the Illinois and Georgia Improve
ment company, which company owns
all the stock and bonds of the M.. D.,
and S., Railroad clmpany. Mr. Shail
er objects to the sale of the stocks and
bonds of the railroad company by the
president of the improvement company
to the Atlantic. Coast Line company
claiming that the president of the Im
provement company was without au
thority to make the sale, no action au
thorizing such sale having been taken
by the stockholders or directors of the
Improvement company, and that the
sale was made by him (the president
of the improvement company) to pro
tect his private interest, he being a
large creditor of the Improvement com
pany. The directors of the improve
ment company are Joy Morton, presi
dent; E. P. Ripley, W. S. North, Win.
A. Fuller, W. P. Smith and A. T. Ew
ing, all citizens of Chicago. Mr. Ro
bert A. Shailer, the complainant, is a
citizen of Brookline. Mass.
Some three and a half years ago the
improvement company pledged the
stocks and bonds to the American
Trust and Savings company as col
lateral security for a loan of $750,000.
The American Trust and Savings
bank then issued certificates to the
lenders that the stocks and bonds were
pledged as collateral security, and that
the holders of these certificates were
interested In the loan to the amount
of the certificates held by them. .It
is charged in the bill that the largest
holders of - these certificates were the
president and directors of the Im
provement company, and that it was to
the Interest of the president to sell out
the stocks and bonds, even at a large
sacrifice in order to protect himself and
associates as the holders of these loan
certificates.
The petition in equity was presented
to Judge Speer of the United States
court yesterday oy Messrs. Erwin and
Callaway, representing Shailer. After
the hearing, the Judge Issued the fol
lowing order:
In the Circuit Court of ths United States
Equity, Bill, etc.

entire assets Is about twelve or fifteen
thousand dollars.
“And your Orator further avers and
charges. on information obtained
from said company, and on belief, that
the entire liabilities of the improve
ment company at the time of the mak
ing by the said bank of said sale of
said collaterals ns aforesaid consisted
of the following liabilities:
“(1) Indebtedness under said Collat
eral Trust, Trust Agreement (Inter
est to be added) $750,000.
“(2) Loan secured by pledge of sec
ond mortgage bonds as aforesaid (In
terest to be added). $130,000.
“(3) Floating debt. $82.0b0.
“Total Indebtedness. $962,000.”
In the bill It is alleged that the value
of the physical property of the M. D.
& S. roalroad Is $2,000,000, and that the
price of $1,000,000 received by Morton
and associates Is "grossly Inadequate,”
the liabilities of the improvement com
pany being $962,000, the sale of the
practical assets at $1,000,000, leaving
practically nothing for the stockhold
ers who are not Interested as lenders
to the company.

The fund for the poor for Christ
mas has now started on a rapid In
crease. Last week proved a most suc
cessful one In the collection of funds,
provisions and clothing.
It it stated that this fund must reach
above $200 before at least half the
poor will get a donation of as much a*
one dollar In either clothing or pro
visions.
Mayor Smith and others of the or
ganized charities have heen In charge
of the work up to the present and are
gratified with the good results. They
are still pushing for u handsome gift
to the poor. The card system of giv
ing will provide for all who are in real
need and they will get what the need
because they will not be allowed to
spend the cash themselves.
Following is a report on the condi
tion of this fund up to the present
time, and Also a list of the givers.

It may be put down as an assured
fact that the poor of the city will be
provided for on Christmas day in a
manner that will cause rejoicing. Ther.
will be something good to eat In many
household that did not expect to
have more than the usual bread and

discussion as to tho advisability of
allying Harvard University and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
In certain branches of their work hue
brought out very strikingly the fact
that educational institutions are be
coming moro and more business con
cerns. Nowadays ability to conduct a
college Is supposed to Include some
thing more than book learning In the
old fashioned sense, and the man who
dlrocts a great university must be more
than a scholar, which was Qnce consid
ered the only quallflcatloh necessary.
The so-called academic course has
been modified to meet the demand not
only for men who can read Greek and
Latin, solve problems in higher mathe
matics. discuss literature and talk in
foreign languages, but for men whose
general Intelligence has been sharp
ened and who have been taught to use
their faculties beyond the mere ap
plication of classroom and laboratory
knowledge.
One of the chief supoprtern of this
modern Idea of education has been
President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard
and the further Harvard progressed
toward turning out men wtll-trained
for any branch of the world’s business,
ns distinguished from one of the pro
fessions, the plainer it became that the
college Itself must ndopt now methods

ho should b»» allowed throe months for
Investigation of tho feasibility of de
vising such a system as was desired
before inking up tho work more per
manent ly; in tho end he stayed eleven
years.
When he understock his work Ihe
newly created recorder, its he was
called, found that in order to get at a
Harvard man’s college record It was
necessary to search at least ton large
volumes and to pick out the Informa
tion about the Individual In question
from the whole mass of statistics.
There were tho hooks covering the en
trance examinations and those for each
of the four years In the regular course
for a degree. If a student went be
yond that to the graduate school, or to
one of the professional schools, several
more thick tomes were added to those
through which his name was scat
tered.
These archives, containing the sum
mary not only of a man's scholarship
but of his behavior, so far us It con
cerned the college authorities, had to
be referred to constantly, of course,
mid the labor Involved In their use
was enormous. Tho unaeedemlc but
very practical solution of the difficulty
was little more or less than a huge
card catalogue In which every Indi
vidual had his own card and but one
card. The cards themselves were of
unusual slxe. necessarily, hut every
item of n student's account with either
disciplinary or teaohlng officers could
be entered on the same sheet, both
sides of which wfcre employed In order
to separate the different kinds of en
tries. What bed formerly been the
most cumbersome and troublesome
work of the college office st once be
came the simplest and easiest, and the
plan devised fifteen years ago Is ■till
In use with very slight modifications,
while the general method has been
adopted In all the large educational in
stitutions of the country.
Ho successful d'd the introduction
of the business man into student man
agement prove In Ibis particular that
It wan given further trial. Mr. Cham
berlain was made secretary of the
Lawrence Scientific School, which is
Harvard’s department of training In
theoretical technology, and then of ths
Harvard Summer School. Both these
university Work were
of things so well concealed that even
on suspicion they cannot be discovered.
An auditor of wide experience will
tell you that the world Increases In
honesty, hut that many a business loss
Is caused not by criminal Intent but by
ignorance. There has been a universal
change In every branch of business—
buying, selling, manufacturing, and all
the rest—except accounting. There,
more than In any other department,
old-fashioned methods cling, yet there
In where the largo scale of modern
enterprise, the speed with which trans
actions are carrlod through nowadays,
the close profits und the Intricate pay
roll have most effect. Over and over
again It Is found that a falling off In
profits can be traced to losses In man
ufacture, or Insufficient cost allow
ances, which are so burled and confus
ed In the Intricate extensions of old-
time account methods that they es
cape notice for years, It may be, until
a complete overhauling of books brings
them to light.
On the other hand, the strenuous
competition of tho new century has
been known to leud perfectly well-in
tentioned officials Into seemingly Inno
cent misrepresentations of affairs
through the charging of Items on one
aocount when they belonged on anoth
er which there is a temptation to
"make look well.” What proportion of
commercial failures could be prevented
If precautions were taken against a
concern’s misunderstanding Its own
business In these ways cannot be cal
culated, but H Is safe to say that It
would be surprisingly large.
It used to bo that a private business
rarely thought of having an audit made
unless Us affairs were found to be In
bad shape, or Its control was to be
sold, or it was to he closed up a

start in Ilf** as a messenger boy In a
Canadian telegraph office. Having
taken up expert accounting when most
lads of his age were going to school,
however, and risen by degrees to have
l«rg*» Industrial Interacts of bis own,
he had a special sort of training that
would enable him to see defects In an I
academic system which the profes

Mr. Chamberlain was probably the
first business man to have a share In
the executive admlnlsqrsf ion of a gr*at
university. The wisdom of tho policy
that selected such a person for the
somewhat peculiar tusk that was sot
him—prfmarly the reorganisation of
the method of keeping the record* of
students—soon appeared. Mr. Cbarr-
berloin stipulated at th« ouu«t that
dopted method* which are fast be
coming fnmlllur to the business world,
and was thus a pioneer In the move
ment for simplicity p.nd clearness In
busmesN accounting. In fact, Mr.
Chamberlain, who is now Ihe manager
of the New' England Audit Company,
has found hfs Harvard experience j»f
great value in working out new sys
tems of bookkeeping which he has
originated, ths verification of accounts
And methods of keeping them.
