SENATOR SAYS WILSON
TO BE NEXT PRESIDENT

LOS ANGELES, June 19.-Praisinc
the presidents peace policy and de-
claring that there has been no schism
in the democratic party as result OF
the resignation of w. ]. Bryan as sec.
retary of state. United States Senator
James d. Phelan, here to address the
national assembly of civic service com.
mlssloners. said:
II don't think Mr.. Bryan intends to
be candidate for president. 1t IS
logical to believe that Mr.. Wilson will
be the next president. for we Amer.
leans don't change horses in the mid.
die of a stream. We are all for peace
but display of strength is sometimes
necessary to gain it.
THE spirit of supporting an admin
istration that has justly served the
people undoubtedly will result in the
election of a democratic senator from
Cal 'fornia next year"

BIG BOARD DROPS
C0MSTOCK TUNNEL
Wabash Railroad Old Stock Also
Stricken from List-NcW Sc
curities Admitted.

Shares Of the Comstock Tunnel Com
pany, which sprang into activity on the
Stock Exchange a few months ago, after
long period Of stagnation, was yes
terday dropped from the trading list at
the request Of the company's board Of
trustees and majority of the share
holders. Franklin Leonard, jr.. treas
urer Of the company, explained that the
new commission rate made no provision
for shares having par value of 81 and
selling at less than 81 share. lie
said further:
"The old commission rate was one
eighth Of ! per cent upon the par value,
so that the rate on Comstock Tunnel
shares amounted TO % cents per hun
dred and as the new rate amounts to
1925 per hundred, it can be seen read
lily that no trading in 4 stock selling
at --- cents share could take place,
for the reason that no one could af-
ford TO pay a commission rate which, at
the last quotation, amounted to more
than so per cent of the proceeds"
Mr.. Leonard said that the action
taken paves the way TO listing the
shares on the Curb Market, whore they
will be traded in soon. The company's
bonds, however, will remain listed on
the big board"
The Stock Exchange governing COM
mittee also struck from the trading list
yesterday the old stock of the Wabash
Railroad which has been wiped out
through the reorganization. New secu-
rites admitted TO trading were:

BOOM FOR OFFICE BOYS
Can't Supply Demand, Declares Head
of Y. VI. G. A. Employment Bureau.

Mr.. Employer, if you would have
your telephone answered and your let
ters mailed, do not discharge your Of
fee boy! This is the warning con-
tanned in a statement made yesterday
by f. NJ. Dennison, director Of the West
Side Y. NJ. c. AS employment bureau,
who is certain that the American genus
of Office boy is rapidly becoming ex-
tinct. The shortage in this city has
become so great, he says, that many
large Offices are hampered by the in
ability to obtain intelligent youths, and
really efficient boys may now command
their own salaries.
"While some of the shortage is due
TO the beginning Of the school year"
he continued, chat will not account for
the unusual demand. Probably thou
sands Of boys have stepped into jobs
formerly held by older persons who
have found increased pay in work hav-
ing 70 do with war supplies and allied
trades. Whatever the reason. we can
not supply the demand"
