STEEL GROUP SUFFERS FROM HEAVY SELLING Stock Market, as a Whole, Shows Continued Firmness and Activity. RAILS DRAW ATTENTION | By MONITOR. Special to Indiana Bally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. NEW YORK, Feb. 25. —In spite of exhibitions of puzzling irregularity, the Stock Market as a whole showed a continuance of the firmness that has characterized the general list recently, and the volume of trading was well maintained. There were several Instances of marked weakness, but these appeared to be due to special causes, some of which represented a matter of public knowledge, while others were based largely on surmise. The decline in the Republic Iron and Steel Issues, of course, was caused by the unfavorable earnings statement and the omission of the preferred dividend which evidently came as a surprise. The assumption that a similar fate may be in store for Crucible stockholders was responsible for heavy selling of that issue. Various conjectures were advanced for the sharp break in United States Retail Stores, one being based on smaller earnings by United Cigar Stores and another claiming that a doecline in the values of securities owned by United States Retail Stores might necessitate a downward revision of surplus. The steel group generally suffered from the weight of selling Induced by the Republic Iron and Steel incident, but aside from Crucible and Bethlehem B, the effect was not pronounced. United States Steel yielded only mederateiy, good buying was noted on the setback. Similarly, American Tobacco ignored the decline In Retail Stores. Specialties which showed pronounced strength were (Market Street Railway issues, Mullins Body and Computing, Tabulating and Recording. California Petroleum and Mexican Petroleum were the strongest of the oils. The motors were featured by Studebaker and Chandler, the foVmer crossing par by a fraction and showing considerable steadiness notwithstanding its reaction of a point. More attention is being devoted to the rails and before the middle of the season several of the favorites in this group bad moved to new high levels. Among the features were Canadian Pacific, St. Paul preferred, Rock Island, Southern Pacific, Delaware & iackawanna and Delaware & Hudson. t The advance in the Federal reserve ratio to the new high level of 75.1 per cent this week registers a gain of 1.7 per cent, and compares with a ratio of 49.9 per cent last year at this time. The improvement results chiefly from a decrease In deposit liabilities, while gold reserves made a gain of $10,700,000. Rediscounts show a decline of $64,000,000 on the week, thus making a reduction since the first of the year of $450,000,000 and of $2,010,000.000 from the high record established in January, last year.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. WALL STREET GOSSIP BY MONITOR. Irregularity was the outstanding characteristic of yesterday's trading. Neither weakness nor strength was manifested uniformly throughout any one group. The independent steels were under pressure, in response to the action of the directors of the Republic Iron and Steel Company in passing the preferred dividend. U. S. Steel, while yielding from its best prices, was in excellent demand throughout the day, and its loss at the close was trifling.

After the early unsettlement In Republic Issues, during which the preferred scored a loss of nine points and the common five, Chandler Motors and Studebakcr were advanced to new high prices for the present movement. While this advance was taking place, selling orders in large volume appeared in United Retail Stores, which resulted in a decline in that stock to anew low level. American Tobacco during this decline advanced to 140%. These were fairly typical movements in the day's market. Tie annual report of the Chandler Motor Car Company will probably be made public Monday. It Is expected to show net profits of about $850,000 or about $3 a share. Earnings during the first six months from orders now on the company’s books probably will cover the full year’s dividend requirements. The company has no current bank loans, and both its cash and inventory positions now are of the strongest. Buying of the stock, as in recent market sessions, was said to be for the account of interests identified with the company. Studebaker crossed par on buying by the same group which has dominated its market movements. There is every reason to believe that extra dividend's will be declared during the year which will return stockholders 12 per cent. The present movement is largely of a seasonal character. It will be remembered that last year, a year of liquidation, the price was advanced 36 points In the March and April rise, and the quotation for Chandler was advanced 26 points. A similar campaign is understood to be contemplated. The same powerful interests which have been accumulating Rock Island, again were buyers of the stock, although there was some speculative profit taking around 42. This Is the highest price reached by Rock Island since 1916. The strength was due to the favorable car movement figures just published. Buying orders appeared in considerable volume from Middle West points. Interests familiar with the tobacco stocks are frankly disappointed at the failure of retail sales to increase. The decrease reported by the United Cigar btores Company, which is the pocketbook of United Retail Stores, had not ■been expected to continue go long, according to these sources. The turn In trade which had been anticipated had not occurred, it is said, and current business is reported to show steady decreases. This has led to a discussion of the possible action to be taken ty the directors when they next meet to act on the dividend. Selling was reported as of excellent quality and was taken to foreshadow a substantial reduction or possibly the omission of payments. Directors of the California Petroleum Company are expected to meet within n few weeks for dividend action. Just prior to these meetings it has been customary for the price of the common sfo: k to advance sharply on the possibility of a payment being authorized upon it. From sources close to the company it is learned that this oft-repeated rumor probably will become a fact at the next meeting. This was responsible for thd buying in the stock late in the afternoon which carried the price into new high ground. The oil stocks as a group have done little marketing for two months. There were distinct indications of revival of interest in these shares yesterday, and pool operations were resumed in several of them. Among these were Pacific Oil, Invincible Oil and Sinclair Oil. It was suggested that some of the buying was for an important group in the oil industry When Market Street Railway prior preferred was selling at 37, it was suggested in responsible quarters that buying was for important Philadelphia interests in anticipation of the declaration of a dividend at the rate ol 6 per cent per annum. There was vigorous denial, but the directors yesterday declared a quarterly dividend of $1.50 share. There remain 9 per cent in accumulated dividends on this stock. The company reported for January a balance for dividends of $74,346 and for ten months of $806,732. An advance of nearly five points followed the announcement, and the buying even at the higher levels was reported as for the same interests which were buyers two months ago. Indicative of the optimism which prevails among equipment manufacturers was the declaration of the usual quarterly dividend of $2 per share on the common

Vote of Women Object of Political Solicitude Democratic and Rep üblican Headquarters Plan to Make Appeals .

Special to Indiana Daily Times end Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONSTANCE DREXBX. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—How the women will vote Is the object of much solicitude at both Republican and Democratic headquarters where plans are being made for the next Congressional elections in November. Primaries selecting candidates will be held as early as April in some States. A visit to the offices of the Republican and Democratic National committees revealed some Interesting facts. The Democrats are poor, but proud and confident. In the absence of any women’s bureau or division, the writer was received by Chairman Hull. Money, money is the need, before any ambitious plans can be carried out. But In a few days, there will be a Democratic woman, as prominent and able as they can find here, to help Chairman Hull appeal to the women voters to elect a Democratic Congress. APPEAL TO MEN AND WOMEN VOTERS ALIKE. “However.” explained the chairman, “it Is not our policy to recognize much difference In the issues which will appeal to the men and women voters. On the contrary, now that women have the vote, the party and everything It has Is open to them on equal terms with men. We have already proved our sincerity of purpose by doubling our National committee so as to include one woman In addition to the committeeman from each State. It is to this Democratic National committeewomen in each State upon whom we shall rely to plan the woman’s end _pf the campaign in her State. Os coursewe shall organize in each Congressional district. I The Democratic plan of campaign is Interesting. They will blame the economic situation —unemployment, panicky conditions, lack of confidence —to the Republican attempt to isolate the United States. Even the farmers have come *o see that the failure to sell their product is due to disturbed world conditions, they will represent. The farmers’ and workingmen’s wives will understand, likewise, is the theory. If the Senate ratifies the conference treaties, the success of the Washington conference will be emphasized. “You see how well this little bit of a step toward better international understanding worked. If you bad followed the Democratic policies the whole world

stock and 1% per ceDt per share on .the preferred stock of the Railway Steel Springs Company. The annual report made public after the meeting today showed net earnings of $1,551,635 as compared with $3,435,350 in 1920. The deficit after dividends was $473,365 as against a surplus of $1,410,350 in the previous year. An official statement says that the financial condition of the company Is sufficiently strong, and the outlook favorable enough to justify the action taken by the directors. In important quarters it is said the directors of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis, commonly known as- the Nickelplate, will meet In fibout two weeks and will declare dividends at the rate of 6 per cent on the several issues of stocks outstanding. It is understood that this payment will be authorized for March 31. There is an inclination in some quarters to associate this with the reported plan to absorb the Toledo, St. Louis & Western. A representative of one of the oil companies interested, said that all the companies having property In Mexico had completed their payment of taxes to the Mexican government under the compromise agreement. These payments were made in gold. The companies had the option of paying either in gold or 60 per cent gold and 40 per cent In Mexican government bonds. These latter are selling at 40, consequently there was nothing to be gained by using them in the transaction. Crucible Steel was one of the weak features, a large part of the selling being liquidation of long stock. The decline was helped by the offerings of traders. The action taken by the Republic directors renewed discussion as to the action to be taken at the next dividend meeting of Crucible.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. POLICE CAPTURE BOOZE RUNNER Thirty Gallons of Moonshine Seized After Chase. A squad of police and Federal officers guarding the Rockville road last night watching for booze runners, arrested William D. Smith, 134 Arizona street, on a charge of operating a blind tiger. He was caught after a chase of twelve miles. Smith is alleged to have had thirty gallons of moonshine liquor in a touring car with automobile license No. 101876 on It. The automobile Is being held by the sheriff. Smith was released on a SI,OOO bond signed by two professional bondsmen. Smith, according to Federal Officer George Winkler, was caught before and sentenced to serve six months for bootlegging. The car in which he was arrested yesterday Is said to be the one confiscated before and returned to Smith’s wife or order of the Federal Court. Frank Ckafka, 931 Ketcham street, was arrested last night on the charge of operating a blind tiger. The police say they found fifty gallons of wine at his home.

would now be well on the road to reconstruction and our foreign trade booming so that factories and farms would be prosperous once more,” is the argument. ACCUSATION IF j TREATIES BLOCKED. I If the Senate blocks the conference and the United States, the Democrats will accuse the Republicans of listening to narrow minded Johnsons and Brandegees, Instead of following Hughes and Hoover j In other words, the Democrats stand ! for America leading the world If only le- ; cause America will gain most by such a policy. They believe women can be won .to this view because of present economic conditions. i On the other hand, the Republicans have a hustling, bustling woman’s division In their large, sunny suite of offij ! ces. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vice chairman of the executive committee, has been in charge all during this Administration and now has several assistants. , Mrs. Dodson of Des Moines, lowa, has | just arrived to handle work of organizaj tion throughout the States in view of the j congressional elections. | Bu< Mrs. Upton has been busy all these ' months. She said it w'as not against the policy of the national committeeto interfere in the primary elections. They let the local people select their own candidates. When It comes to the point of a Republican against a Democratic candidate that is where they step in to help !in the States where national help is | needed. HUSTLE TO GET j WOMEN’S VOTES. { There is one thing about the Republican ; plans. They fully realize the Importance ;of the women voters. Chairman Adams ; and others of the committee members I recognize this fact. Mrs. Upton has been : making surveys of conditions In every State. Help from national headquarters 1 will be forthcoming where needed to assure the success of Republican Representative or Senator against the Democrats. The need of funds is not the burning issue, apparently, as in the case of j their opponents. i As to whether there will be a special ! appeal to women voters, that is likely to jbe made. It has been che theory of | President Harding that there is a woman’s point of view in politics which is to |be welcomed and encouraged. Therefore I certain policies of the Harding Admin- : istration will be emphasized to win the support of women voters.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922.

SENATOR REED ASKS RECALL OF GEORGE HARVEY Declares U. S. Ambassador Guilty of Indiscreet Statements. BORDERS ON IDIOCY Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.—Formal demand for the recall of George Harvey, American ambassador to the court of St. James, was expressed In the Senate yesterday afternoon by Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, the only Democrat who supported the Harvey appointment at the time President Harding made it. Senator Reed took exception to Ambassador Harvey’s reference to Anglo-American unity at the Pilgrim’s Society dinner in London, Monday night in honor of Arthur J. Balfour, chief of the British Empire delegation to the Washington conference. The Senate declared some of Mr. Harvey’s utterances “would be treasonable If they were not idotic.” In thinly veiled lnuendo, Senator Reed let it be known to the Senate he regarded Mr. Harvey’s statements at the dinner as having ten Inspired by hospitality of a sort that had been not lawful at public functions in the United States since the passage of the Volstead act. QUOTES DOGGEREL FROM HARVEY SPEECH. Senator Reed quoted doggerel from the London Morning Post, said to be a favorite songs of Americans in London, and suggested it offered “the true explanation of Ambassador Harvey’s statements. It follows: “ ‘Sing a song os ixpence, “ ‘Bottle of rye, “ ‘Four and twenty Yankees “‘Sitting parched and dry; “ ‘When the rye was opened “‘The Yanks began to sing: “ ‘We -won't go back to the U. S. A. “ ‘God save the king.’ Senator Reed said he could not understand things in Harvey’s speech, and quoted therefrom. ‘‘All of us,” Ambassador Harvey said, “■who have acclaimed for years what we rejoiced was the natural affinity, the Increasing fraternity of our people. To utter misgivings about that was to pronounce oneself a heretic. If evidences were not wholly manifest at times then emotions were nevertheless thought to be sure and true. They were in the air and they enveloped beiug with atmospheric attributes which inspired wistful conviction.” .utter quoting the verse, Senator Reed said: “I read on. Our Ambassador continues, amidst the clinking of glasses and the

music of laughter and applause—‘but we have to realize all things. Even ‘he strongest feelings are matters of degrees of human passions no less than human bodies are subject to influences of heat and cold’—for ‘when the rye was opened the Yanks began to sing, we wont go back to the U. S. A., God save the King.’ ” Senator Reed quoted further from the Harvey address: “Whereas, at present I rejoice In the belief that the Invisible and impelling forces In the air which have so long sustained us, Britons and Americans have at last been supplemenfed. strength ened immeasurably by the discovery of a complete mutuality of interest, self interest if you like, upon the face of the earth w# stand now on solid ground.” “That sentence requires,” Senator Reed declared, “something in the way of explanation, a little beyond the inspiration which might have come, assuming the doggerel I have read is a current eistory from mere rye. SEES* “INVISIBLE AND IMPELLING FORCES.” “Something more Inspiring and befoddling and bemuddling than rye had to be Imbibed before a man could get off a sentence In which he talks-about the Invisible and impelling- forces In the air which have at la%t placed our feet on solid ground.” Senator Reed, quoting again from the Harvey address, said the ambassador had twisted a famous Webster statement to mean now “not liberty alone, not union alone, but liberty and union, one and Inseparable, is in fairly accurate parrallel the chief requirement of Great Britain and the United States.” “That is a far paraphrase,” the Senator added,' "of this official representative of the United States Government who, If his sentiments were expressed in sobriety, does not represent either the spirit of the American republic or the sense and judgment of the people of the United States. “A declaration of this kind cannot be passed over lightly,” Senator Reed continued. “It amounts to nothing less than an advocacy of a doctrine which has been whispered about in this country for twenty years, that the United States and Great Britain ought to form part of one empire. It would be treasonable If it were not Idotic. There is more and greater nonsense in the speech. The time has come when we should have an American President, when we should have an American diplomat at the Court of St. .Tames, time we had someone who knew what Washington and Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln knew, what every man of common sense knows, that America has to look out for Its own affairs.” Recalling he had been the only Democratic Senntor to defend the Harvey appointment, Mr. Reed said: “I withdraw that speech. I adorn myself with the cloth of repentence. I put the ashes of contribution upon my brow.” When attention of the White House was called to the Reed criticism of Ambassador Harvey It was said the President regarded it the right of any Senator to criticise an American ambassador and that the President would not comment thereon.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

Highways and By-Ways of LiF OF New York (Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledger Company.) Ay RAYMOND CAFfOLL.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25—Toe total proceeds of the sale of the p rsonal relics of “the Father of His Cos mtry,” conducted in the interest of his great-grsat-grand nephew, W. Lanier Washington of Gramercy Park, was $24,659, an amount the equivalent of President Harding's Balary for four months. Dispatch from Boston widely firstpaged throughout the United States: “Washington had red hair, coverel by his wig.” To divert “ambiguous tendencies in dress reform into the definite channels of concrete, portrayal of artistic dress" Is the highfalutin -sounding object of a dress show that is to open at the Art Center, 65 East Fifty-Sixth street, March 23 to April 22. The backers of the exhibition are well known artists, including Charles Dana Gibson. The promoters of the Idea have obtained the cooperation of the Parents’ League, the New York board of education and leading dressmakers in New York, Chicago and Cleveland. Art people will create designs for children from 10 to 18, and lectures have been arranged for. The scheme outlined by its backers is: “The Art Center has this mental picture before It—imagine in Joint conference William Morris, John Ruskln and Herbert Spencer discussing in amiable fashion —let us hope—the beautifying of daily life.”

CHARGES FALSE PRETENSE IN SALE OF HOTEL Grand Jury Indictment Filed Against Three—Arrests . Made. George Levenson, 3499 Blrchwnod avenue, Leo Levenson. 2418 North Pennsylvania street, and Michael Levenson. 1504 North Pennsylvania street, have been arrested on capiases resulting from the return of a grand jury indictment yesterday charging them with false pretense. The three men were brought to the sheriff’s office where they immediately gave bond yesterday afternoon. It is charged in the indictment that they falsely pretended to Solomon C. Bodner that the Union Station Hotel was earning SI,OOO a month and that the pool tables were unincumbered. It Is charged In the indictment that Bodner paid the defendants SI,OOO for the hotel and later discovered that the Brunswlck-Balke Col-

The “Italian lozenge” Is the latest novelty of the New Year smart set —It looks like a cough drop and when sunk Into a glass of charged water dissolves into a scotch highball, “red ink” or white wine, as the case may be, according to directions and color of the used lozenge. - “Say it with flowers,” and “eay it with music” have another variant, "say it with zinc.” At least such is the form of the printed announcements of the New Jersey Zinc Company, a SSO 000,00 b concern, which has a building of its own on Front street, all the decorative metal work in which is made of zinc or some alloy of zinc. All the grills and finishings (except the plumbing) are specially designed In that metal.
