That held by James w Henning was
scheduled to be made over to Francis s.
Page and the seat OF r. II. Jewell. Of the
firm Of Jewell & Strlnger. was posted for
transfer to George G.. Backhouse. This
membership had previously been posted
for transfer TO G. F. Stringer. ir.. but for
some reason his name was withdrawn and
that Of Mr.. Backhouse substituted.
Announcement of Edward H. JEWELS
withdrawal from the Stock Exchange was
made IN the latter part of February. after
his connection with the Kero-Gss Com
pany had become public Mr. Jewell be-
came interested in the company and sent
out letters calling attention to its posi-
bilities. The matter was brought TO the
attention of the Stock Exchange authori-
ties and there was considerable criticism
of Mr. JEWELS action. Shortly afterward
his seat was posted for transfer. 1t Is
probable that when the present transfer
is made Mr.. Backhouse will become thu
floor member OF the firm OF Jewell 4
Stringer. although he Is not at present
connected with the firm.
James w Henning. whose seat is posted
for transfer to Francis s. Page, was a

Protective Committee Favors a

y reorganization plan for the Allis- Chal-

January interest on its outstanding Sll.-
ol|" nrst mortgage bonds, has been prac-
ucally agreed upon by the three protective
committees representing the bondholder5
and the preferred and common stock hold
ers of the company. It was learned yester-
day. These committees have been holding
joint meetings every day this week. and all
but few details OF the plan have been
worked out
The plan calls for a heavy assessment
on both the preferred and common stocks
to provide the necessary working capital.
estimated at about S5000,0oo The present
bonds will be exchanged for some other
class OF security. probably new preferred
stock. which will not constitute a fixed
charge on the property. and other changes
OF drastic nature will be made TO insure
the placing of the company on a money
making basis.
The first step in the carrying out Of the
plan. provided 1t meets the approval OF The
security holders. will be the appointment
Of a friendly receiver. The ninety days of
grace before which foreclosure proceedings
can be instituted by the bondholders under
the terms OF the mortgage expire on
March 81, and according TO present plans
proceedings 10 bring about a friendly re-
ceivership will be undertaken as soon after
that date as possible. II is not expected
that the recevership will be Of long dura-
tion. Control of the company Is to remain
in the hands OF the bondholders after tine
reorganization by means OF voting trust.
According to statement issued by the
company about the time It defaulted in the
interest on its bonds, II had current liabili-
ties amounting 10 $4,000. while the sur
plus OF current assets over current debts
was estimated at s7130,O0O this estimate
being assumed TO be on the basis Of value
to a going concern.

Chamber of Commerce Urges
Protection of American Rights.
SOME ADVOCATE FLAT RATE
Resolution Which Is Passed
Takes Cognizance of Treaty
Obligations.

There was some dissension among the
members OF the Chamber Of Commerce at
its monthly meeting yesterday after a reso-
hutton had been read earnestly urging "the
President of the United States and Con-
sress. while honestly carrying out all ex-
listing treaties or obligations entered into
with foreign countries. to arrange the tolls
on the Panama Canal so as 10 carefully
protect American interests
Immediately after the reading of this
resolution Howard c. Smith declared that
the Panama Canal was subject TO treaty
obligations. and that. therefore, We could
not charge a rate for our own coastwise
ships and another rate for those of foreign
countries. He earnestly advocated a dollar
tonnage rate.
Calvin Tomkins. Commissioner of Docks
and Ferries. made a long address. in which
he asked the members TO have conserva-
tive rate of charge. He said that, in his
opinion. We should treat all alike. and
should hesitate a while before doing any
thing rash in the matter.
Welding Ring, chairman of the foreign
committee on commerce and the revenue
laws, urged the members to work for a
dollar rate Of tonnage. and said that the
members should not advocate anything that
might hurt any treaty We had made since
the signing Of the Panama treaty.
The resolution, which was offered by W
II. Douglas. was then put before the mem
bers for vote. and was carried by ma
jority Of twelve.
In addition 70 this resolution the mem
bers acted on reports submitted by the
various committees one NJ the reports.
