STEEL
SETS new MARK
Scars to 155, Then RecedeS
in Another Million
Share Day.

Activity in Bethlehem Steel common
on the Stock Exchange yesterday was
the most sensational since the stock
began its remarkable advance earlier
in the year The first sale of the day
was at 1852, new hign record price,
but this soon dwindled into compare
tive insignihcance as subsequent
transactions showed further gains un-
til around O'Clock the tlcker recorded
1855, the high price of the day, and the
highest price at which, with one ex-
ception international Power, in 1902
"a stock not paying dividends has
been quoted.
During the last half hour, however,
the stock broke violently, and, as re-
suit, the entire list which had shown
a general upward swing during the
previous hours was adversely affected
and closed off from the highest prices
of the day. At 2:45 Bethlehem Steel
was selling at $50, but in the succeed
ing minutes before the hour for the
close of business liquidation in 1t be
came so general that the stock broke
one point, and then these transactions
followed: 145, l44, las. IA, 1927, 142,

Further attempts were made at the
Offices of the company TO obtain definite
information concerning developments
that would account tor the continued
strength in the stock. but IT was stated
that President Schwab was out of town
and in his absence nothing could be

BRITAIN TO TAKE

Government Organ Says State
Will Control Manufacture

TBy Cable to The Tribune ]

London, April 13.-That the manu-
facture and sale OF alcoholic liquor in
England will become a government mo-
ropoly is the assertion made by a gov
ernment organ tonight. This statement
confirms in part the forecast of the
government plan published several days
ago in an Opposition paper. which de-
clared that the programme contemplat-
ed the prohibition of all liquors except
light beer. which could be manutact-
tured by the government.
England awaits with keen interest
the action at the session of Parliament
which opens tomorrow. What form the
determination TO attack the liquor
problem will take, is a matter of the
darkest conjecture. A "dry" England,
unknown except for a two-year period
$50 years ago, is not beyond the pos
sibilities.

CHURCH ROW is STARTED
BY BISHOP OF ZANZIBAR
Announces he Will Have No Sacred
Communion With Bishop
of Hereford.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, April 16--The Bishop of
Zanzibar, Church of England. who last
year started the so-called Kikuyu con-
troversy by bringing heresy charges
against two central African mission
airy bishops for administering commu-
MON to Methodists. Presbyterians and
Baptists at a joint service, has started
another quarrel between high church
and low. His latest outburst is against
the Bishop of Hereford because of the
appointment of Rev B. H. Streeter, the
author of several religious books show
ing the influence of modern religious
thought. to the canonry of Hereford
Cathedral His protest is in these
words:
Therefore do we, Frank Lord Bishop
of Zanzibar, hereby declare and pro-
nounce that SO long as the ground of
our complaint remains, there can be,
and from this day forward there is, no
communion in sacred things between
ourselves and the Right Rev John
Lord Bishop of Hereford, nor between
ourselves and with any priest within
his jurisdiction who shall make known
his approval of the false doctrines now
officially authorized within the diocese
of Hereford"
In meeting this protest the Bishop of
Hereford says in an open letter pub
lished in the Times and addressed to
his accuSer:
For one bishop to take upon himself
to excommunicate another bishop on
his sole authority because of an al
legged misuse Of the patronage in his
diocese Is proceeding which it is not
easy to justify, and which certainly
does not tend to edification. Hasty and
ill-considered individual action. such as
yours, could hardly be defended under
any circumstances. and in this case
you would have done we'll to bear in
mind that Canon Streeter has not even
been arraigned, much less condemned.
before any ecclesiastical court or
synod. and that he continues to hold a
license to offlciate from my brother
bishop, the Bishop Of oxford. Thus
may venture to say. as an old man to a
younger. that although acting no doubt
in all sincerity, you have been led to

BRITISH SHIPOWNERS PROFIT.
One Piling Up Million a Month, It
Is Said.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, April 10.-Several large
British shipowners are piling up
profits at the rate of 100000 or over
a month. and one firm at least is re-
ported to have averaged practically a
million dollars a month since the be-
ginning of the war
It is. of course, only those who have
had their ships free who have been
able to make money. Some owners
have had their vessels tied UP by char
ters at normal figures and others had
their ships taken by the government.
Then all the shipowners have had to
bear increased expenditures for wages,
fuel insurance and delays in port.
The people who are really making
the money. according to London
shipping journal. are the Greek ship
owners.
For the last few years" it explains.
the Greeks have been steadily buying
ships, and they now have a very con-
siderable merchant marine. They can
take full advantage of the high rates.
and do not have to face the risks
British shippers do, nor pay the extra
wages"

SCIENCE NOTES.

Scientists and astronomers are fully
agreed that wireless teleeraphy can be
used for an accurate determination of
longitude. The successful work of the
American and French parties in the
winter of 1894 in determining the
difference of longitude between Wash
lngton and Paris settled this important
scientific point: work in which the
astronomers of the United States Naval
Observatory had an important part. 1t
has been satisfactorily demonstrated
that for the connection of important
places. where high-power wireless sta
tons are availa BILE. there is great adj
vantage over the old cable methods.
III the transmission of wireless time
made by local and French scientists
from Washington to Paris and vice
versa. it was found with fair degree
OF precision to be only one fiftieth of
second and evident that the work of the
radio observers must have been excel
lent to determine so small a quantity
of only 10 per cent of its value, or one
hve-hundredth of a second To make
this determination of longitude differ
enCeS 1t is necessary to make q signal
at any wireless station and to have this
signal received and the time observed
at points where differences OF longi-
tude are to be determined. For the ac-
curacy of this determined time 1t is
necessary to have recourse to astro
nomical observations, which renders
y
the ideal place from which the test of
these scientific values can best be OBJ
tanned.
The Blumea balsamifira. which grows
wild in abundance in the Philippine
Islands, and found to be the plant
from which camphor is obtained. is now

netism of the Carnegie Institution. ac-

The last straw in the Baker-Mack cpl
