Ancient Method of Selling Shoes In the days of our forefathers shoe merchants used to carry a dosen lines of shoes. They had a few pairs of ladles', boys', misses', men's, Infants' nd prob.io.y a small line of horse shoes. They sold them from 60c to 17 60. bimt merchants of today are. ? Tactically carrying out thla same an iquaud method. The Regent Shoe Co's modern method of manufacturing men's "Onlmod" shoes exclusively and selling them direct to the weurer at 11 Uj and fci.50 has been a great auc ces.u The hundreds of Omuha men who wear ' ON 1 MOD" shoes render the verdict as to the aucess of our modern method.

NEW YORK, April 25. Stockholders of the Cnlted States Steel corporation received today the circular letter of the corporation, setting forth the exact terms under which It is proposed to retire $200,000,000 of 7 per cent preferred stock and issue $250,000, 000 of 6 per cent bonds, thereby Increasing the bonded debt from $300,000,000 to $550, 000,000. Accompanying thla' circular was a report of the finance committee which set forth in detail varioua reasons why the re funding plan should be approved, together with a series of resolutions reciting bow the plan is to b6 carried out. The stock holders' report, signed by President Schwab and Chairman Gary, say In part: In February, lixil, various subsidiary com panies had under contemplation, and In many cases actually had begun, the con struction of additions to their plants, which in some instances would have duplicated the facilities of the subsidiary companies. The Hpgregate of thes contemplated ex pemliuiifs was something like !50,(),0W. As stHted In the preliminary report at the time of organization It was hoped much might be accomplished In the way of avoid ing wasteful expenditures for urncessary enlargement of plants and mucn has been accomplished by co-operation among the several companies, enabling one to utilise the facilities of the other. However, owing largely to advance commitments, It was Impossible to stop all construction at the time your corporation was organized, and, In order to finish work then already under way, cash payments have beei. made dur ing the year to the amount of llo.OUU.OUO. it was not possible to determine how much of this contemplated exendlture of about $5n,WH,Ufio would have to be made, nor In advance of sutllclent experience would It have been wise to capitalize any part of the S15.U0,00U that huve been ac tually expended.

In the preliminary report to stockholders these payments were described as "purchase-money obligations.

To Rearrange Capitalisation. After discussion with some of the prin cipal stockholders It appeared practically to rearrange your corporation's capitaliza tion (which. In round numbers, now con sists of $3K),Oun,Oi4 oJ bonds, 5"0,oiio,ooo of preferred stock anS $5uo,otM.nnfl common stock) by substituting for $2W,n0O,flOu of the preferred stock jLVO.uiiO.lKiO of si. iking fund sixty-year 5 per cent mortgage gold bonds, end by selling $50,000.1100 additional bonds of such issue for cash. As the preferred stock carries 7 per cent dividends, while the bonds would bear but 5 per cent In terest, the 150.000,000 desired could In this way be added to the corporate resources and the aggregate of the annual charges for interest and dividends, instead of being Increased W,5tHMRK, would be decreased 11.500,0(10, as compared with the present sum total or meat two requirements. The unanimous conclusion of the finance ! and executive committees is that, consld- j erlng the vast aggregate value of the physical properties, the proposed 1250.000,- ' mi Increase of bonds from $:iu0,fti0.uu0 to i .50.0ipn.0J Is wise and conservative, tho i preferred stock Issue being simultaneously , decreased u per cent, or jiiu,ihjo,ooo. The consequent tU.onO.OuO reduction of dividend payments, as compared with the 12.50O,o00 Increase of Interest would result In an an nual saving of ll,&on,i.iO, exceeding bv HSO, utrf) the annual sinking fund contribution of ll.mo.ouo to be required by the proposed mortgage, and which, invested at 4 per cent, would be sufficient In sixty years to pay on all ot tno ibo.txjo.ouo bonds. Syndicate la Formed. To further the success of the plan there has been formed a syndicate Including some directors which will receive four fifths of the 4 per cent compensation to be paid under the contracts with Messrs. J. P. Morgan Co., mentioned In the notice of stockholders' meeting. The stockholders' meeting to Vote on the proposed changes in the company'! securi ties will be held at Hoboken, N. J., on May 19.

April 25. Mrs. Eglrla Bar rios, widow of Relna B. Barrios, president of Guatemala, who was assassinated In 1S'j8. sought safety In the home of the American minister to Guatemala, W. God frey Hunter, and moved all her furniture, brlc-a-brac, draperies, diamonds and Jew elry, thither for safe keeping. It appears from an affidavit sworn before Richard Weskatta, vice consul general at London, that Mr. Hunter is charged with illegally retaining her property under the plea of payment for thirteen weeks' board and lodging of Mrs. Barrios and her at tendants and services rendered. Mrs. Bar rios denies any obligation or contract for board and lodging or services, saying: AVhen personally solicited to live at the legation by the minister I thought that by reason of the muny courtesies shown the minister by President Harriot and myself Minister Hunter In gratitude for the same had invited me to live at the legation as his guest, pendltiK the settlement of my affulrs with the Uuatemalnn government, which Mr. Hunter whs Instructed to do by the Department of State. In gratitude for what I suppose was the disinterested and kindly disposition for the reason aforesaid of the said Minister Hunter, 1 did give to Minister Hunter ami bis family valuable pieces of diamond Jewelry of a hundred times the value of the board and lodging at the lega tion of the I'nlted States, and for the un official services the said Minister Hunter pretended to render me and which he was instructed to render by the Department of Btate of the I'nlted States. Mrs. Barrios further charges that a re ceipt for $1,000 that Mr. Hunter obtained from Is-dor Schwartz, executor of the Bar rios estate and which Hunter makes part of the basis of his claim to furniture and valuables. Is not bona fide. Mrs. Barrios declares fbat Hunter never paid a cent to , the estate and said he wanted the receipt , to show the Department of States, should his right to charge for board and lodging . be disallowed. The original of this affl''alt was entrusted to J. S. McNally, I'nlted States consul gen eral at Guatemala City, and after being photographed was forwarded In January to the State department at Washington.
