at President Wilson

The executive and legislative
committees of the Pennsylvania
State Grange are sad and sorrowful

vetoing the daylight saving law re-
pealer. The committees held a meet
ing here a few days ago and adopt
ed resolutions "deploring' the
action of the President and asking
Congress to put it up to him again.
The committees also adopted reso-
lutions opposing development of
potash plants. declaring that if the
government wants such a plant as a

but that in peace time potash
should be sold at the world price.
The resolutions were signed by
John A. McSparran, William Arm

r. S. Rankin, r. NJ. Day and Fred

The committee also issued their

II OF % AUTOS
STOLEN in 1919
ARE RECOVERED
Police Reports Show Bands of
Boy Joy-Riders Are
Broken Up

Seventeen of the 30 automobiles
stolen in this city thus far in 1919,
have been recovered through efforts
/ of the Harrisburg police department.
| according to figures compiled by
Earl NJ. White. clerk to Chief of
Police Wetzel.
Twelve automobiles stolen in this
city this year still are missing, ac-
cording to these figures. The State
has been thoroughly circularized by
the police department and police de-
partments in every section of the
State have been given full details
concerning the missing automobiles.
There is. in consequence. strong
hope on the part of police officials
that more of the cars will be recov-
cred.
The number OF automobiles stolen
this year is falling considerably be-
low the number taken last year.
Likewise, the percentage of automo-
biles recovered is somewhat lower.
The fact that several parties of
youths VINO were in the habit of taxi
ing automobiles for joy-rides, hav-
ing been broken up, is held to be re-
sponsible.
During 1918 6S automobiles were
taken in this city, and two bands of
youths were responsible in most of
the cases. according TO statement
made at police station. These youths,
it ia said. took the automobiles for
joy-ride and after they had fin
ished. abandoned them in some rural
section.
This year fewer automobiles are
stolen, but those that have been TAX
en- were driven away by real
thieves" according to police author
tiles. In very few instances have
any automobiles been found aban-
done as was the case in 1918. which
accounts for the high percentage of
the automobiles stolen then, being

Wilson Asks Appointment
of American Member to
Reparations Commission
Rn Ahsocinted Press.

Washington July 2l- President
Wilson to-day asked the Senate For
eign Relations Committee to approve
appointment of an American member
of the reparation commission pro-
vided for under the Peace Treaty, to
act Professionally pending Senate ac-
tion on the Versailles document. The
committee debated the request for
more than an hour without acting.
The President wrote that he made
the request because he considered it
"of so much importance to the busi-
ness interests of the country that
the United States be Interested on
the commission"
Senator williams, Democrat. Mis-
sissippi offered resolution declar-
ing the committee willing to approve
such an appointment, but Chairman
Lodge and other Republican mem
bers opposed ii, while Senator Knox,
Republican, Pennsylvania and Hard
ing, Republican, Ohio, offered sub
stitutes that would declare the COM
mittee without authority. None of
the proposals came to a vote.
1t is understood in official circles
President Wilson intends to appoint
Bernard NJ. Baruch, of New York,
as the American preventative on
the reparations commission.
During the war Mr.. Baruch was
chairman of the War Industries
Board, and he aided at Paris in
working out the reparations and
economic clauses of the treaty.
The committee will take up the
Presidents request again tomorrow
when Senator Fall, under notice
given to-day, will move that the
doors be opened while the subject is
under discussion.
The substitute resolution offered
by Senator Knox to-day would de-
clare that it is the judgment of the
committee that until the Treaty is
ratified no power exists either IN
the President or in Congress to ex-
ecute any of the provisions provided
in the Treaty either Professionally or
otherwise"

Surely" said the Obi Senator in
part, IF the treaty is ratified after
the experience through which we
have Just passed. it will help to
keep our former enemies in the
straight and narrow path until the
present plan can be modified or i'm
proved so as to meet the require
ments of our future experiences and
our mature thoughts.
rs it not going to be better, that
we surrender some of our own con-
vctions in the interest of immedi-
ate peace. rather than insist upon
changes which will require the pend
ing treaty to be sent back to the
associated powers?
During the war many Of us
voted for measures not because We
would have approved them in time
of peace but because we felt the
eXigencies of the situation equired
them. May we not pursue a similar
course when it comes to the ratifi-
cation of the treaty."

Short Covering
Chief Factor i'm
Advancing Prices
Pool Operations and Specu-
lation Purchases Also
Strengthen Stock Market;
Loans Heavily Reduced

Decided improvement in the tone of
sentiment generally was in evidence
yesterday. Encouraged by the con-
continued firmness of the market in
the face of unfavorable news, which
was accepted as indicating that recent
adverse developments had been pretty
we'll discounted, professional specula-
tors bought stocks freely for long
account. Buying of this sort was sup
plemented by a slight reversal Of So
called public" interest-the first time
that such interest has been DISPLAYED
since the severe break of last month.
Moreover, some of the pools, which
have BEEN quiescent for weeks, obvi-
ously were operating again and they
succeeded in attracting not little fol-
lowing. Most important of all, how
ever, was the heavy buying of those
who covered much of their commit
ments. At the close of the market
brokers said that the short interest,
which had been extremely large, was
considerably reduced.
With the exception of the railroad
stocks practically all the list was firm.
Even the copper shares, about which
sentiment has been most pessimistic.
found many friends yesterday and sew
eral OF them scored substantial gains.
The steel equipment, sugar and motor
groups were bought heavily and closed
at substantially higher levels.
The greatest advances were enjoyed
by the tobacco shares led by Tobacco
Products, which made an advance of
6 points, American Sumatra, American
Tobacco and United Retail Stores all
swung sharply upware. 1t was in these
stocks that pool operations appeared to
be largest, although their strength was
also attributed to heavy short covering.
A plentiful supply of call money at
low rates was an important factor in
the general improvement Of prices. Es-
Inmates yesterday were that stock
market loans now outstanding aggre-
of approximately $200,0o0,O00 from the
recent high level. This estimate was
regarded in some quarters as conser-
vative, as far as local institutions are
concerned. One banker was inclined
to place the reduction at from $780,
100000 to $400.0O0,00O. Part of this
was accomplished, however, by trans
ferring loans to interior banks. When
rates were so high in New York good
many out t-of-town traders found it pos
slble to arrange with their local banks
or collateral loans at much lower
rates than those prevailing here.
Foreign exchanges were rather
stronger than on Wednesday, but the
Improvement was slight Detailed fig
ures for October show that the United
States trade balance with five leading
European countries-the United King
dom, France, italy, Belgium and Ger
many-was not far short of $3.50 ,OOO.-
900, or at the rate of approximately
$4,000 100000 year. With the balance
running at such rate, and no immedi-
ate prospect of large foreign credits
being granted, it would not be surpris-
ing if further declines in the exchanges
should take place.
Liberty bonds were in good demand
ard advanced rather sharply

actually 105A, for the quarterly divi-
dend of IN per cent came off on Mon
day, was q reflex Of the growing
nervousness Of the professional lears.
The short interest in Steel before the
opening of the market yesterday was
put at 100000 shares That was prob
ably an exaggertaion, but Just the same
the short account must have been
heavily extended, for Steel has been Il
target of the professional bears since
early last month. The short interest IN
Bethlehem Steel was estimate IT
$4,000 shares.
