SOFIA. Bulgaria. July 17.-The Rou-
manians today took possession of the ca
BILE station at Varna on the Black

We are amazed at the attitude taken
by the leaders Of the trainmen and con-

think that they are the only side that
has a right to ask for arbitration. We
think differently, however, and We are
convinced that the public Will support us
in our attitude. We shall insist that
our grievances be arbit-ated as well as
theirs. and we stand pat on our letter of

Inquiry was made Of almost all OF

the meeting closed as to the reason for
the activity today, but all of them pro-
fessed not only an entire lack OF knowl-
edge but feeling of wonder as well.
You will have to ask Mr.. Hume,

he purchased ali of the stock which was

reads:
Referring TO our letter of July II

list of these questions concerning rates

See No Reason for Rise.

One distinctly unusual feature of the
trading in gas was the unanimity with
which all of the brokers except Mr.. Hume
declared absolute ignorance of the cause
of the sudden furry. Even officers OF
the gas company, led BY Howard S.
Reeside vice president and acting presi-
dent of the company, declared there was
no reason for the rise; that Washington
Gas has not increased its dividend rate.
and, i'll fact, that il would be more diff
cult i'll the future to pay dividends at the
existing rate of n per cent on the par
value of so a share than it has been in
the past.
Mr.. Reeside made the further interest
ing observation that the stock transfer
books of the company were closed only
"A couple of days ago incident to the i'm
pending payment of the dividend for the
current quarter and that at this time he
has been engaged in signing the certlf1-
Gates of stock in the names of the new
owners And in spite Of the fact that
there apparently has been unusually ac-
tive trading in Gas, the number of shares
offered for transfer was not above the
average-So that il was Mr. Reside s
freely stated opinion that much of the
present movement IS speculative in its
nature

Business Over $4OO, 900.

Although in the trading there were
transferred 1850 shares of Gas stock,
and the one sale alone of 5000 shares
at 50 represented $685. in Gas stock

were sold on range between 30 and 80

After the one big trade of 5000 shares
there were dozen additional sales al

entire supply of gas stock within the

Bids Leap Higher.

Nothing on the surface indicated
events out Of the ordinary when Wash
ington Gas was reached on regular
CALI at the noon meeting of the ex-
change, and several brokers with SELL
ing orders in hand disposed of their
holdings at the opening price-$9O a

at this level before the bid price ad-
vanced to 90A. but there the halt was
only momentary. and wild excitement
ruled as the quotations climbed up
ward-fractions of points apparently
being no longer considered worth while
and the bids leaped whole points
at a time, pause being taken only long
enough to permit the recording OF
trades in lots varying from the ordi-
nary twenty-five-s share quotations to
as high as 5000 shares at one sale.
