STUTZ IS SOLD TO SCHWAB; CURB BEFLECTS DEAL Motor Company Stock Passes to Steel Magnate and Price Starts Climb. PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT Reports Give Allen Ryan No Place In Future of Big H Industry. BULLETIN By United Financial NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Stutz Motors stocks was unusually active on the curb today and advanced to above $25 a share, a new high record since Allan A. Ryan filed a petition Jn bankruptcy. The optimistic speculators predict that an active market will be made for the shares. By United Financial NEW YORK. Aug. 10.—The newest development in the existence of ttye Stutz Motor Car Company was its sale to Charles Schwab today. Schwab undoubtedly has plans to develop the property and make a dividend payer along with the other big motor car companies. When Allan A. Ryan, former Stutz owner, got into difficulties he offered to resign as director in Bethlehem Steel, but Schwab persuaded him to withdraw that resignation. Schwab was one of Ryan's creditors to the extent of $305,000. Despite the evidences of friendship between Ryan and Schwab there is a strong belief that Ryan may have nothing further to do with Stutz. The rise in Stutz on the curb today was based partly on the magic of the name of Schwab. The next step probably will be the relisting of Stutz stock on the Stock Exchange, j Schwab made an inspection of the : property several months ago. He was assisted by engineers of the Studebaker company. This does not mean, however, that Studebaker is to become interested in any way with Stutz, as Schwab Is one of the largest holders of Studebaker stock. Schwab denied he was personally seeking control of Stutz and it is the opinion of the street that he is but one of several bankers Interested in the purchase.

AMERICANS HELD MOST LAWLESS PEOPLE LUG Report to Bar Association Quotes Figures to Prove Proposition. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.—The United States is the most lawless nation in the world today, according to a report made to the American Bar Asociatlon convention today by Judge William G. Swaney, chairman of the law enforcement committee of the association. The report showed that since 1910 there has been “a steady and terrible increase" in homicides, burglaries and robberies throughout the country. Criminals number a little less than one third of 1 per cent of the entire population of the country, the report declared. The attitude of the American citii zens is blamed in large paxt for the •.tuatlon. Parole Laws Failures “We find that the parole and probation laws as now administered generally fail to accomplish the purpose for which they were designed and weaken the administration of criminal justice. "We recommend that first offenders and only first offenders bo eligible for probation. “We find that 99 per cent of the murders in the United States are committed by the use of pistols."

PRESIDENT ASKS CONGRESS TO AID j IN STtt CRISIS Two Methods by Which LawMakers May Help Bring About Order.

By United Press i WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Presl- | dent Harding will confer today with ! Republican congressional leaders to i determine Just what Congress, after lts members return Tuesday, can do i to aid in meeting the critical situation. At present, it appears that Congress can aid in only two ways. I—Conduct1 —Conduct an investigation into the strikes that will place the issues ! of the controversies squarely before the public and bring public opinion to bear to force a settlement. | 2 —Provide legislation incident to a seizure of the railroads or mines or both. A warning also has come from some Democratic quarters that antistrike legislation Will be opposed and : that th.s is no time to pass permanent legislation of an Industrial character because of the hostile and tense foel;ng manifested by both labor and capital. WARSAW WITHOUT SUPPLY OF GAS Lack of Fuel Makes Itself Felt In Restaurants, Hotels and Newspapers. By United Press WARSAW. Ind., Aug. 10.—The Warsaw Gas Company must shut down immediately because of the coal shortage. The company is scraping the floors of its bins for the last lump of coal, Keith Hankins, manager of the company, said today. It will be able to furnish enough gas to barely pull through the day. Toe shut-down will throw one-third of the restaurants out of business, it was said. Hotels and newspapers will also be seriously affected. Car Strikes Woman EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 10.—Mrs. Katie Burner was injured when she was run down by an automobile.

Because of the losses threatened both in the House and Senate in Eastern States, Republican managers are going to make their big drive to hold these gains and attempt the ousting of Democratlo incumbents in all of the Western States. This is the more important, they say. because in the East .here are twentythree seats now held by Republicans, which, after the 1916 or 1918 elections, or both, wera held by Democrats. These include eight districts in New York, four in Pennsylvania, four In New Jersey, three in Massachusetts, two in Maryland and one each in Rhode Island and Connecticut. The House is the great Republican concern now. And, if present Republican plans carry, there will be every likelihood of the West dominating the party’s policies after the fall elections. This, as some Republican leaders claim, will be a fitting rebuke for the Eastern influence* whose defections, they say, may swing many Eastern districts into the DemoocaUo column.

SENIORITY VITAL TO RAIL MEN Denounces Railroad Managers and Avers Public Would Back Harding in Government Control By -WALTER D. HICKMAN. Declaring there “should be some permanent system of investigation before a strike or lockout that would make industrial war impossible,” William Jennings Bryan, while resting between Chautauqua lecture engagements here today, pointed out a remedy lies in the treaty system as now exists between the United Stats and other countries. Continuing he stud, “Some such system is now incorporated in treaties between the United States and three-fourths of the ,world. These treaties provide for investigation before a resort to arms and we should have some similar plan so that we may have investigation before resort to strike or lockout. “Until some plan is substituted whereby justice can be secured without strike or lockout —the strike and lockout must remain the last resort,” he declared.

In discussing the railroad strike, Mr. Bryan said: “Seniority, which seems to be the bone of contention just now, is a much more vital thing to laborers than some imagine. “It is the one thing which, more than any other, guarantees to him his freedom; a surrender of it would relegate him to a position of serfdom. "Without seniority, the strike, while legally permitted, is virtually prohibited, leaving the employer in position to fix or determine the conditions upon which the toilers shall live. “How can the laborers enforce their rights by strike if by striking they forfeit all claims to advantages that ■ come with lengths of service? If I the railroad managers desire to de--1 stroy labor organizations and reduce labor to a plane of slavery, why are they not bold enough to say so? Why do they seek to destroy the independence of the laborer by this Indirect I route —the abolition of seniority? Public Is Interested “The public has an interest that tbs railroad man seems to have overlooked. The public Is entitled to the best equipment that skill and expense can secure. A defective engine and car may cost the lives of passengers. Is it of no concern to the public that experienced men are discharged and new beginners are put in their place? "President Harding has a splendid : opportunity to defend the public against the two dangers now imminent—the degradation of the wage earners and the indifference to the rights of those who patronize the railroads. “The railroad managers are willing to see the commerce of the Nation disturbed for an indefinite period rather than to concede the wage earners just claims to seniority rights. President Has Power "If the President will give the railroad managers notice that the railroads must function or turn over the management to the Government until the railroad heads learn to regard the rights of the public, the strike will end in a short time. “The railroads are very quick to recognize the quasi-public character of their business when they want to exercise the Government rights of eminent doman, but regard the railroads as purely private affairs at all other times. "The public wjl support the President if he insists that the railroad’s duty to the public take precedent over the personal wishes of railroad managers,” Mr. Bryan declared. Mr. Bryan left Indianapolis at noon to fill lecture engagements. He will return Saturday to lecture that evening at the Cadle Tabernacle Chautauqua. On Sunday morning at the tabernacle he wiU teach a public Bible class. INCREASE SHOWN Steel Corporation’s I nfilled Tonnage Figures for July 1. By United Press NEW YORK.
