To THE EXTENT
OF THOUSANDS

Philadelphia, June 20.-The Philadel
phia stock exchange sent notice to its
members today warning them against
negotiating stock certificates bearing
the name of Benjamin H. Gaskill 4
Co. Back of this is said TO be a sen.
sational story of forgery and raising
of certificates involving hundreds OF
thousands of dollars.
Broker Made Discovery.
The discovery of irregularity was
made by Miller & Co. bankers brok-
ers. Benjamin II. Gaskin, the senior
member, died three weeks ago. One OF
his customers transferred his account
TO Miller & Co, and in the account
was a certificate of shares of the Penn
sylvania Traction company worth
about $4,000. 1t subsequently devel-
oped the certificate had been raised
from one share.
Many Other Cases.
The discovery created a sensation in
financial circles. as il is reported
many spurious transactions of the same
sort have been made. One bank is
said to have loaned 1926, 600 on raised
certificates.

Much Preliminary business.
Though the actual opening of the
convention OF the Modern WoOdmen
of America will not open till tomorrow,
much preliminary work has been done.
The local camp clerks convention, now
in session. has taken up several per-
picking problems. including the liquor
inhibition, a plan to give state rights
TO the Pacific coast, the collection of
assessments and rerating. Tonight
delegates to the general head camp
will hold caucuses concluding a day Of
receptions and steamer excursions on
the lake
The election of the local camp clerks
resulted in the unanimous selection of
F. II. Norling, of Kansas City, the eau
Gus choice for president, and the re-
election of Secretary w. Z. Copeland
and Treasurer c. II. T. Riepen, of
Lima. Ohio and Omaha, respectively.
The clerks went into a bitter fight
on the inhibition against admission or
retention Of members addicted TO the
use of alcoholic liquors and against the
restrictions running against all per
sons employed by manufacturers and
dealers in spirituous, malt or vinous
liquors. but have not yet decided wheth-
er TO recommend letting down of the
bars" The prevailing sentiment ap-
parently is to retain the law with re-
spect to temperance among the mem
bers, but To modify il so that unless a
person is directly connected with the
handling of liquors he may be eligible
TO membership in the Modern Wood
men of America. The law, as now en-
forced. excludes even such persons as
hold stock in any brewery, distillery or
other similar institution. The clerks

DIR. JENKINS LLOYD JONES.

pr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago ar rived in Birmingham yesterday. Dr. Jones will deliver four lectures at the Pollock Stephens institute this week for the ben eft of the free Kindergarten. The ad- mission fee for all four lectures will be $2, single admissions being place at 70 centss
 The first subject will be 'The Redemp- ton of a Soul, study from Goethe's Faust" The others are: 'The Three Reverences," John Ruskin," and The Cost of an Idea"
 The educational and literary value of these lectures cannot be emphasized too strongly Dr. Jones, the distinguished and eminent scholar that he is, does not include in his wide range of subjects, themes that touch human interest so vitally as those selected for his Birming- ham lectures. With his analytical mind and his great heart, such themes will be presented in a masterful manner, and the audience to whom Dr. Jones will speak will naturally be representative of Birmingham culture.
 Aside from the institutions the free kindergartens, to which the proceeds of the lectures will be devoted, the good of which need not here be discussed, the far rcaehing influences from a visit of Dr Jones are evident to all studiously inclined people
