A New Barnum Story
(Bristol Press)
The late I’. '1‘. Barnum was a
character people never weary of
talking about for he had those poo
culiar so-caiied Yankee traits of
slrrewdness that materially aid in
financial success. He knew how to
turn things to his own advantage.
This characteristic is nicely brought
out in a. latest story concerning this
unique character by McDougal. the
first and most famous cartoonist of
The New York World. Young Mc-
Dougai was an engraver in Newark
when the Barnum circus came to
town. Acting on impulse he dupli-
cated the circus ticket and a print-
er friend struck off one hundred
which were distributed to the
“gang," which attended the great
show and had the thrill of a life-
tifne. Fifteen years later when Mc-
Dougsi was designing the posters
for the Barnum show that worthy
gave a. banquet which the artist at-
tended and of course told the story
of the forgery of the tickets. The
recitsl'made a hit with the ban-
queters and gave Barnum the sort
of opportunity he never overlooked.
"Do we owe Mr. McDougal any.
thing?" he asked the treasurer.
“No," was the reply. “I have just
paid him up." "Well." said the
great'P. '1‘. "When he presents his
next bill deduct 50 dollars."

‘ThOSe New Britain Policemen
(Springfield Union)
If it be true, as reported in news
dispatches from New Britain, that
three of the policemen who were
witnesses for the state in the trial
of Gerald Chapman for the murder
of Patrolman Skelly have admitted
that some of their testimony was
false and that they‘testitied falsely
because they thought that was
what the state’s attorney expected
of them. it would seem that the
censure they received from the New
Britain Police Commission was al-
together inadequate punishment for
their reprehensible set.
These policemen. if they made
the statements credited to them.
have‘admitted that they committed
perjury. a serious offense In any cir-
cumstance and infinitely more so in
a. case involving the life of a hu-
man being. Knowingly and deliber-

for which there are severe penal-
ties.
States Attorney Alcom has dc-
ciared that his only instructions to
the witnesses in the Chapman trial
were to tell the truth. and his rcpu.
lotion is such that his word is not
likely to be questioned. In fact. it
does not appear that the three New
Britain policemen went so far as to
say that they gave false testimony
at the suggestion of any particular
person: the news dispatches repre-
sent them as saying they did so be-
cause they believed the state s attor-
ney wanted it. What gave them

ownership as distinguished from
bondholdlngs is that the sharehold-
er receives the regular annual re-
ports and such other statistical in-
formatlouas the company is in the
habit of giving out. Corporation ex-
ecutives sometimes argue that it
does not pay to send annual reports
to stockholders because the major.
ity of those who receive them do
not read them. and some companies
send out their reports only on the
written request of the stockholders.
However that may be. if it is true
that. stocklruldersvdo not read these
reports part of the blame belongs to
the officials which prepare them.
Many of these statements are in
such form that only an expert can
understand them.
Lately. however. a new style of
report has come into fashion which
does give facts and figures in such
shape that the ordinary man can
comprehend them. In this move-
ment public utilities have taken the
lead and in this connection I want
to say tlrata model along this line
is the year book of the Peoples Gas
Light at; Coke Company of Chicago.
This utility prints its income stale.
meats and its balance sheet. two
gent-rally highly technical financial
terms. with explanations that show
in simple r‘eadily understandable
language lust what they mean. The
ordinary imcstor has only a vague
idea of what “current assets" and
“current liabilities" are to say noth-
ing of such items as "deferred
charges“ and "reserves." All these
things are explained in the Peoples‘
Gas statement.
One reason why the utilities as a
group take such pains with their
reports arises from the wide distri-
bution. that is wide compared with
that of the aierage industrial. oi
their stocks. A successful utillt)
nowadays reports steady increases in
the number of stockholders from
year to year and a steady decline in
the average number of shares per
stockholder. This sort of public
ownership is helped along by such
interesting and informing annual
reports as the Peoples Gas and
other corporations of that character
are now publishing.
