Investors Expect Corey's Mu-

Second Bethlehem.
LOCAL MEN INTERESTED
Several Have Made Wise Turn
vers'-Others Hold Out for
Sale at 200.

Has the war munitions industry
brought into being a second Bethlehem
Steel Company in the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance Co.. the recently organized
500, 100000 corporation?
This Is question which frames itself
In the minds Of many who have watched
the spectacular advance of the new stock
and have learned Of the prospects Of the
company, Both SPECTATORS and invest
ment buyers in Washington. have paid
particular attention to the stock; in the
last few days there have been a number
OF decidedly profitable turn overs" and
Il was estimated that washingtonians
held upwards OF 5000 shares Of the cor
poration
Under the leadership of William E.
Corey, former president of the United
States Steel Corporation. a syndicate was
formed which took over for So 900, OoC
the stock of the old Midvale Steel Conn.,
pany. Negotiations already have been
closed for the purchase of the Reming-
ton Rifle Co., organized about a year ago
by the Remington-U Metallic Car
fridge interests and also the plants OF
the Worth Bros. Co, making steel
plates. ana the Coatsville Rolling MIL Co..
which Is AFFILIATED with the Worth Co.
Rife Order Reported.
William E. Corey has been elected
president of the new company with the
following directors: Frank A Vanderlip,
Charles H. Sabin, MarceIlus H Dodge,
William E. Corey, Percy A. Rockefeller,
Albert II. Wiggin, Ambrose ]. Mcneil,
and Frederic W. Allen.
The presence of a Rockefeller on the
board with Vanderlip, of the National
City Bank of New York. is regarded
as peculiarly significant, particularly
in view of the information which
reached here yesterday from New York
to the effect that the new company
already has closed a contract with the
Morgan syndicate for the manufacture
of 100000 rifles at a net profit of
$40 per rifle.
The Rockefeller interests, it will be
recalled, held out from the $500, OO0,-
600 loan to the allies. and the National
City interests, 1t is understood, held
back until assured that interests con-
trolled by them would be taken care
of in the matter of war orders. to the
payment of which the loan eventually
will be applied.
Local fnanciers whs have been
watching the war order industry de-
clared their belief yesterday that the
new company was brought into exist
ence as the result of an agreement be-
tween the Rockefeller, Morgan. and
National City interests which insured
capacity orders for the new concern
from the American buying agents of
the allies.
The single issue of stock is placed
on the market in $50 shares and start
ed out with go bid. Yesterday from a
close Monday at 90l-4 the stock
jumped to 96 "a for one good sized
transaction and then receded to 90. A
number of investment buyers who were
let in at the time the stock was placed
on the market are holding for 200 with
every display of confidence.

Diehl of the A. A. A. good roads board.
This can be no other than the con-
ception of a national system which will
correlate and coordinate the systems
of state highways, just as the state
systems form the framework for the
county and township systems of high
ways. The A. A. A. believes this an
ultimate development, but hardly pos
sible in the beginning. An interstate
system would be tangible and impress
sive and would tend to unity in our
present somewhat haphazard systems
of highways. Mr.. Bryan's utterance
is an encouraging indication of the
trend of thought among the men who
shape our legislative policies
Not long ago the chairman of the
state highway commission of Maine,
referring to federal cooperation in
good roads, asserted that the first ex-
penditure in a state like Maine should
be for connected seacoast roads which
would permit Of a quick mobilizing of
troops at any threatened point of at
tack. A similar argument had been
previously put forth in regard to the
Pacific coast and the Mexican border.
The great value of highways and au
tomobiles in the European conflict has
been completely demonstrated and these
two factors are certain to figure in
national legislation relating to military
preparedness"
