LAMAR IS BLAMED
FOR BONDS SLUMP
Transactions Are Reported to
Have Been Made for Profit
on Decline of Issue.

The shadow of David Lamar the
wolf of Wall Street" was cast across
the recent slump in Government 3 per
aent bonds, which sold down to 95 1-2,
q new low record, according to infor-
nation revealed following an investi-
cation by the New York Stock Ex-
change. Striking developments fol-
lowed the statement OF Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo that conspiracy
by influential bankers was apparently
responsible for this great slump.
The developments. were:
First-The new low record was re-
vealed as having been established by
what was practically short selling, it
being alleged that the transaction was
made for a profit on decline Of the
issue
Second-The shadow Of David Lamar,
the notorious bear operator now under
Federal indictment in connection with
his tactics as revealed in his own testi-
mony a few weeks ago, was cast on
the AFFAIR in that the short selling was
done through E A. Manice, who is a
member of the New York Stock Ex-
change and who has conducted stock
exchange operations for Lamar, some
Of which have been criticised.
Explanation Is Demanded.
duct Of the New York Stock Exchange,
better known as the Police Commit
tee," began an investigation of the
the transaction, and has summoned
Manice to appear before 1T and make
explanation.
Fourth-A partner of Manice, stated
positively the transaction not not been
conducted for Lamar, but admitted IL
had been conducted for a customer Of
the firm. At the same time, word came
from Washington indicating the Gov
eminent would start a probe which may
determine who was the customer The
general purpose stated for this inquiry
is to determine whether influential bank
ers manipulated the price Of the Gov
ernment bonds. as charged by McAdoo.
Fifth-A. Barton Hepburn, chairman
American Bankers Association, an
nounced he could STE nc reason for
McAdoo's statement other than a play
by the Secretary to drive radical Demo-
Gratis into line in supporting the cur
rency bill
Blames Administration.
He added the blame for decline in
the Government bonds lay at the door
of the Administration, making this
statement before the report became pub
lie concerning investigation by the
police committee of the New York
Stock Exchange of transactions by
Manice.
Sixth - Government 2's rebounded
sharply from their slump on a trans
action in the bonds in which the buyers

NEW YORK, July 30.-Interest CEN
tered on United States Steel today, fol-
lowing the issuance of the corporation 5
quarterly report. The feature of the
opening session was the first sale of
Steel common at 59s. This showed a
net gain of over a point. The advance.
however. did not bring the issue in New
York up to the level established in
London before the opening IN New
York
1t was another case OF selli0g on good
news, the traders said, and realizing
profits.
The rest of the market displayed a
wavering tone. Prices were generally
above last nights close. Considering the
large amount of stocks sold for short
account and rather heavy realizing on
the part of bull spectators, the market
held remarkably well.
Trading in London was dull.
The curb market was steady.
The directors OF the Illinois Central
railroad today declared a semi-annual
dividend of 2h' per cent. This is a
reduction of l per cent, and places the
stock on a five-point basis. The divi-

Of S6,575,06S, against s3,466,44S for the
previous year.
The quarterly statement of the United
States Steel Corporation for the three
months ended June 30, last, just made
public, was satisfactory. The total earn
ings amounted to $41, ,219,S13, and the
net income was 81, ,92061L Both were

while the surplus is increased by s6.9S,-

Compared with the corresponding

creased by s16,117.54S, net income By
s13. 491, ,317, and the quarterly surplus by

PASTOR RAPS CLUBS,
LODGES AND SCHOOLS
AS HOME LIFE FOES

The greatest influences of today
which are destroying the American
home life, according to Dr. w. W. Orr,
the noted evangelist, who has just con-
cluded great revival at the North Az
enue Presbyterian church, are clubs and
lodges, flats, liquor, divorce, lack of
proper child training and the great uni
versities of the country, in which, he
said, are being taught doctrines abso-
lutely anti Christian.
DR.. Orr attacked these influences yes
terday in a sermon before an immense
congregation in the North Avenue
church.
He made no attack on lodges them
selves, but urged that they are a men
ace when husbands and fathers permit
them to interfere with their home life.
He said flats offered no semblanCe of
true home life, and that they merely
served to huddle families together like
horses in stalls. After handling the
liquor and divorce evil, he dWelt at
length on the importance of child train
ing.
Many man spends thousands of
dollars and wonderful effort in training
animals, while he pays absolutely no
attention to his children" he said.
