PARKER DEFENDS

To the Editor OF The Washington Times.
In your issue of today you copy from
the Wall Street Journal a criticism on
Colonel Greene and the directors of the
Greene Consolidated in directing the
sale of 100000 shares of the Cananea
Central stock. belonging to the Greene
company. az so per share claiming that
the price was SIS a share less than the
market, and that Mr.. Rogers. Mr.
Dodge and Mr.. Rockefeller participated
in the purchase.
Stocks Cost $1,000.
am certain that your paper wants
the facts, that those in Washington may
know the facts. This Cananea Central
stock. which has now been sold at
S4Oo0OOO. cost the Greene company less
than one year ago $1,7O0. When Colonel
Greene reported this transaction and
later in his annual report. placed on
Il a valuation OF g. 600 COO he was Sc
Verely criticised. and il was freely said
that this was a fictitious paper value.
Colonel Greene is now criticised by
these same people for selling this same
stock at S4000.000. or twice the amount
he then valued 1t at Colonel Greene
very frankly told the directors that Mr.
Cole. MT Ryan. and himself were the
ceaL Mr. Rogers, Ar. Dodge, and Mr..
Rockefeller had no interest in the
transaction whatsoever. directly or in
directly The company needed money
TO duplicate the present plant, and this
was S4,O900u0 toward the accomplishment
CT tGIt purpose
Price Received High.
Who else would have paid 5000. 900 for
that stock? I doubt very much If
Messrs. Greene, Cole and Ryan would
have paid 5000, coo for it had the trans
action been independent OF a consolida-
tiOn OF the two companies.
II is pretty generally known that
Colonel Greene's intense loyalty to his
friends and to his stockholders has
made them loyal 10 him. and later on
they viii more ard more appreciate this
his latest and greatest transaction.

Miss Flora Wilson. daughter of the
secretary of agriculture and formerly the
chatelaine of his Washington home. is
about to undertake trip around the
world, starting this coming autumn from
Paris and going first to the Holy Land,
thence to Egypt and the lotus lands of
the east. She will go in leisurely man
ner and will probably be a year or two
on the way. Miss Wilson has lived in
Paris for the last three years. Official
society rather palled on her. as she is a
bookish young woman and was not only
college graduate, but a teacher in the
Iowa state university before her father
was called to high honors in the McKin-
ley cabinet. Miss Wilson, like her ia
Their, possesses an unusually good voice
and she can sing a Scottish ballad or
French aria with equal grace and pa
thos. She is also fairly good artist and
can WELD a forceful pen. 1t is limited
that some of Miss Wilson's sojourn
abroad has been devoted to the muses.
and that she is soon to publish book of
poems.
