EARNINGS SURPASS ALL ESTIMATES Was Expected tkat Corporation's Hew System of Aeeoaatlag Woald Tea 4 to Redace tko Preflts. NEW YORK. April 6-Dlrectora of the nlted States Steel Corporation today de clared the tvgular quarterly dividend of 1 per cent on the preferred stock. The mount will be Sv.,134.190, and In order to meet this payment a deficit for the quarter of tl.S57.150 waa created. Earnings for the lost quarter (March estimated at to. W. 000) amounted to S13.&6. Although the lowest in the corpora tion's history, they were better than the most extravagant estimates made by out siders. They were less by J1.S2K.295 than earnings for the fourth quarter of last year. It waa thought that the corporation's new system or accounting, inaugurated with the new year, under which earnings are not credited until the product has ac tually been sold, would tend to reduce profits In this quarter. The balance of I447.W9 applicable to dividends was struck after tl.M6.646 had been paid off to the sinking funds of the constituent companies' depreciation and re serve funds, and 6,815,WZ waa charged to Interest on the corporstion's bonds and sinking funds for the quarter. Earnings for the first quarter of 1903 were $3.0fiR.7O7 and for the corresponding period of 19PI were taj.71S.467, In both cases more than enough to meet the dividends on both preferred and common stock shares. I'n filled orders on hand for the quarter amounted to tl4.136.961 tons, an Increase of 932,138 tons over the quarter ended Decem ber 31 last. The preferred dividend is payable May IS. Action on the dividend was reported to be unanimous. No action was taken on the question of a dividend on the common stock. The directors present Included J. P. Mor gan. II. C. Frlck. C.

LINCOLN, April S To the 15Mltor of The Bee: A telegram in The Bee March 26, re porting the rescue of Louis Frederick from a burning building In Philadelphia, ati-ong other things said: "The man. who Is Christian Scientist, kept saying. 'Don't bother with me, sister, if I am burned lo death, it Is the Lord's way.' " Mr. Albert E. Miller of rhlladelph.'a, Christian Science publication committee f ;r Pennsylvania, informs me that: "Th? ir.an Frederick made no such remarks as ac credited to him. It wns mainly due to h's reassuring words that he was gotten out lit safety ond the fire subdueVi. His reallra- tlon of harmony in the midst of the ex citement was an inspiration to the firemen and the members of his household. Aside from this cne point the story is correct." Yours sincerely.
