Bought Shares, but Can't Sell Them

Question-Several months ago pur-
chased through the FL v. Greene Company.
Trust of Boston. making monthly payments
OF 40. Up to date 1 have paid $50 for the
STOCK IN question. and have additional
amount OF $3.50. purchased this stock
through an acquaintance representing the
H. " Greene Company at that time.
have asked both tho II. V. Greene Com
pany and the First Peoples Truat to kindly
dispose Of my stock for me. their reply be-
ing that they made no agreement with me
to dispose of this stock for me. If this is a
legitimate stock, handled by legitimate
people. surely they should have no diffl-
Guilty in disposing OF the stock. From their
correspondence which Is neither hero nor
there, am rather slteptcal. and think It
advisable to lose tho $50 which have thus
FAR invested and discontinue pay ,ents
but before dong this l await your :. lyice
-(Mlss) T. r. G. d.
Answer-One Of the several elements
of good investment, which you over
looked when you bought First Peoples
Trust shares, is arketability. It may
be true, as you say. that the H. v.
Greene Company should have no diff
ficulty in disposing Of your stock,
butselling stock costs money. In your
case it cost at least Is per cent, or
$43.50, to sell you your $3.50 worth, so
that actually there is about $3.50 left
of the $50 you paid in. That remainder
may or may not be enough to pay the
cost Of q resale of your stock. If it is
not, that explains the reluctance Of the
Greene company to dispose of it for
you. You did not contract to buy stock
in corporation, but shares in a trust,
in this case. We do not recommend
them for investment. We cannot ad-
wise you whether to fulfill your con-
tract or let it 90.

Superior Oil

Question--Klndly give me your advice
regarding the investment possibilities Of
Superior OIL, now selling around IS, and
paying So q year.--C. r. p.
Answer-Superior Oil is directed by
the Atlantic Refining Company. a
Standard Oil concern, which bought a
large block of the stock. Its stock is
not an investment issue, because the
oil business in itself is highly specula-
tive, and these shares are and will be
sensitive to earnings. The company
expects to maintain the old dividend on
the new capitalization. The shares
may offer speculative possibilities, if
you can afford to 60 in for this sort
of thing.

John Reed in
Finnish Jail,
U. S. Is Notified
State Department Asks That
ALL Protection Due Under
the Laws Be Accorded
the Communist Leader

John Reed, leader of the American
Communists, personal friend and con-
fidante of Lenine and Trotzky, author,
lecturer and adventurer, is in Jail in
Abo, Finland. Dispatches from Wash
ington confirmed recent reports of the
arrest of Reed by the Finnish au-
thorities. Reed originally was re-
ported shot by the Firms, but this re-
port is contradicted by the advices
from the American representative in
Finland.
1t was announced at the State De-
partment that representations have
been made to the Finnish government to
accord Reed all the protection he can
get under the laws of Finland. The
American government, however, does
not intend to help Reed in any other
way. Reed is under indictment for
seditious activity in Chicago, but it
was not made clear by the State De-
partment that the United States will
ask for bis extradition to stand trial
on this charge.
would not permit their names to be
published, said yesterday that repre-
sentations will be made to Lenine by
American Communists, who will ask
hlm to obtain Reeds release by offer
ing to exchange some White Guard
Finn prisoners now in Russia for the
American Communist leader
The State Department information is
that Reed was arrested at Abo while
trying to make his way to America
from Soviet Russia. He was taken
from the hold of Swedish vessel ply
ing between Abo and Stockholm.
Reed disappeared from the United
States shortly after his Indictment sew
eeral months ago for the part he played
in the convention of the Communist
party and the drawing up of the Com
munist party's declaration of princi-
pies, which is modelled along the lines
of the program of the Bolshevist gov
eminent. Reed left the country with
out passport by signing up as
stoker on a ship going to Scandinavia
From there, it is understood he walked
all the way across Norway and Sweden
into Finland, from where he succeeded
in crossing the border into Soviet
Russia at great risk as Finland is still
officially at war with Soviet Russia.

Political Leaders Held
In Atlantic City Case
Refusal of Jitney Licenses and
Charges of Extortion
Lead to Arrests

ATLANTIC CITY, April ia sen.
sation was sprung to-day with the ar.
rest on Indictments of Isidor Schmeid
Ter, city mercantile appraiser; Charles
H. Luckenbill, his assistant, and Ben
Allen, negro leader, who is reputed
as having more voters behind him than
any man in the state.
They were included in the batch of
eleven indictments returned yesterday
by the grand jury. Schneider is the
Republican organization leader in the
Sd Ward and Allen controls the negro
vote of this ward.
Schneider is alleged to have refused
jitney licenses because of political af-
tiliations of the applicants and Lucken
oil is charged, it is said, with having
refused licenses because applicants re-
fused to become members of an automo-
bile accessory company in which he was
interested. He Also is accused of ex-
tortion.
Others indicted who entered bail were
Obie johnson, Herndon Daniels, Stephen
Carter, Theodore l.. Jones, Henry Pol
lard and Peter Dale All are accused
of being associated with disorderly
houses where gambling occurred.

Wrangel Gusts
2O4 Committees
On Denikine Staff
Two Officers Executed for
Violation of Discipline;
Notice Given No Insubor-

SEBAsTOPOL, April II (By The AS
ISOLATED Press .-General Wrengel
who recently succeeded General Deni-
kline as commander of the Anti-Bol-
shevik forces in Southern Russia, be-
gan wholesale housekeeping by dis
continuing 2O4 staff organizations and
committees and sending their members
to the front five days after assuming
command. Two officers already have
been executed for violation Of discipline
and it has been made clear that in
subordination will not be tolerated.
When asked to-day for a statement
Of his policy, Genera1 Wrangel said:
There has been two much talking in
Russia already and too many proclama-
tions. l have nothing to say. | am a
and not to make statements and ora
tions."
When pressed further, General
Wrangel made it clear that he had no
platform, except, General Denikine's
original plan to defeat the Bolsheviki
and then let the Russian people de-
eide through an elected body what
form of government thew want 1t is
clear that General Wrangel has no
thought at present of dividing the
civil and military authority. He is an
absolute dictator, and declares he will
welcome the assistance of any forces
and coordinate their efforts with the
Crimean army without insisting on abb
sorbing them as Denikine did.
The economic and financial situation
is bad and food supplies are scarce.

Trotsky Declares for
Universal MiLitin PLo,,

MOSCOW, April II (By The Asso-
ciated Press) .-Abolition of a large
standing army for Soviet Russia and
the inauguration of system of univer-
sal military training through militia
formations among the agricultural and
industrial unions were advocated by
Leon Trotzky, Minister of War, in Il
speech to the Communist convention
here.
Trotzky explained that the demobili-
cation Of the army and the formation
of the militia force to take it's place
would be carried out simultaneously
under this plan to avoid weakening the
national defense. The War Minister
said he would have every district or
gani7ed along military lines, with of.
fficers' schools and special training for
boys under the military age, if the
scheme were adonted

ready to send an army to Asia Minor.
but there are serious objections to the
presence of Greeks there, as it prob
ably would intensity Turkish resist
ance. Hence there is strong under
current of opinion in favor Of soften
ing the terms and sparing Turkish
pride as far as possible that the treaty
may be accepted by Turkish govern
ment strong enough to overcome Ma
tionalist opposition.
Armenia, under the treaty as it
stands at present, would be given the
territory comprised within the boun-
dairy roughly outlined by the towns Of
Erzerum, Bitlis, Van and Mush and
the corridor leading to the Black Sea.
Other features Of the treaty which
will be given consideration will be the
organization of Allied supervision at
Constantinople and the formation of q
commission to control the Dardanelles.
1t is expected proposals will be made
to admit Balkan states, including Bull
garia, to membership in this commits
sion.

we realize that conditions outside the
Sloane institution demand our urgent
consideration. A great business house
must be able to project itself beyond
Its own doors, and cooperate with the

involves a great financial sacrifice.
There are times when prestige must

U. S. Envoy Reaches Paris

PARIS, April 17.--Ellis Loring Dresel
Commissioner for the United States at
Berlin, arrived here from that city to-
day and shortly afterward left for the
South. 1t is assumed in official circles
that his journey is in connection with
the San Reno conference, and is taken
to foreshadow the presence of an Amer
lean observer there, although no official
announcement to that effect has been
made.
The nations that have representa-
tives at San Reno or on the way to
that place are Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan, Belgium and Greece.
The report which has been circulated
that the Allied conference at San Reno
would consider the immediate admis-
sion Of Germany to the league of ns-
tions is regarded here as extremely i'm
probable. 1t is pointed out that tho
covenant of the league provides for the
admission Of new members which fu!
fill the requirement for membership on
two-thirds vote Of the assembly of
the league. Therefore, Germany's ap-
plication, should she make one, should
be addressed to the secretary Of the
league of nations, it is pointed out, in
stead of to the San Reno conference.

Italy Invites America

WASHINGTON, April II. Italy
through Ambassador Avezzana, has in
vited the United States to send rep
resentative to the Allied conference at
San Reno, and Secretary Colby has
promised to lay the matter before Pres
ident Wilson.
When the Allied conference was first
called it was announced this country
would not be represented, and some of
ticials believed this decision would not
be changed.
The United States has not been for
mally represented at the peace confer
ence since Under Secretary Polk left
Paris last December. Ambassador Wal
lace has attended some of the meetings
of the conference of ambassadors at
Paris, but purely in the capacity of an
observer. When the Allied Supreme
Council met at London Ambassador
Davis did not attend.
