Protests Against Court Action

To the Editor Of the Evcnino Public Ledger:
Sir--I sec by the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER that Judge Linn. of tho Superior
Court has granted stay called n
ings In the investigation Of the "Underly-
ing contracts the legal excuse being
TO first determine the Jurisdiction" ana
statutory powers" and constitutional
rights Of the Investigators and further
that "a long and extended hearing"
would put the defendants to vast
expense"
You see before the first three points
could be settled by the courts "a long
and extended hearing" could indeed be
assumed by the court. And the courts
themselves would be the cause of the
vast expense" The defendants then,
| asking for the limit of the laws delay"
know full we'll it's value and Judge Linn
agrees, and the supersedeas is practically
| a promise by the court to furnish the
cause by means of which the contracts
can be held good.
Any one whose past financial deals
are being Investigated runs a risk of
vast expense" In more ways than one.
Every culprit would like supersedeas
as the testimony was going against him,
and why Is financial loss to act as a
stay any more than q character loss
Would not man who had faith in his
character welcome a continuance of the
investigation? Now the vast expense
must be borne by the complainant seek
| ing justice. Is not that a fifty-ffty
arrangement to weigh with the Judge
| Again. IL the contracts are redrawn in
an honest way do we not get the true
meaning of the defendants fear of a
vast expense? Or is this true meaning
of vast expense" to be humbly borne
| by the public In perpetuity, and finally
does this not mean supersedeas?

"A City OF the Homeless"

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Why isn't something done about
the lack of. housing facilities in this
city? Philadelphia, far from being a
City of Homes" Is speedily becoming
city of homeless. Cant some of our
public-spirited citizens or the new ad-
ministration" act on this rent gouging
In New York there is a law to prevent
unreasonable increases in rents. Here
In Philadelphia a tenant Is at land
lords mercy; It isn't so much a lack
of houses as It is this rent gouging that
Is causing people to break up their
homes. Here Is something for the new
administration" to concentrate on. Make
1t unlawful for a landlord to increase his
rent above 25 per cent during a year,
then we will have fewer houses vacant
and more people with homes. Under
present conditions a man has either got
to pay an unjust increase or put his
household effects in storage. The apart
ment we have lived in for seven years
originally rented for S37 per month. The
last year we have been obliged to pay
$50 and now the new owner real estate
operator from New York; wants $50 per
month and no lease. Philadelphia Is a
fertile field for real estate sharks from
all over the country. MRS. r. NJ.

Those Wooden ShIps

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Appertaining to and touching OIL

TO your diagnosis are a sorry lot. viz.
a fleet of green timber built by green
horns, would you mind publicly advising
the high command of some use the
wooden ships might be turned to?

tactics will require some. antiquated
ships to be sunk IN harbors or channels

Strong for the Railroads

Most of the important banking inter
ests are strong for the railroad shares.
both as to stocks and bonds. a promi-
nent uptown banker. in discussing the
prospects of the better grade of the
railroad issues Yesterday said there are
good reasons for buying number of
the seasoned industrial shares at the
present low levels. But there is even
better reasons for taking bullish posi-
ton on the railroads.
"Wc have seen five years of liQuida
ton of railroad securities he said,
'and it is altogether safe to assume that
all those investors who hold on to their
rail securities have decided to stick to
the end 1t means. in my observation.
that stocks will be scarce on the way
up. The situation is so good in my
observation. in the railroad shares that
it is bound to be exploded sooner or
later by powerful banking pools"
While he was talking, most of t'le
railroad stocks were holding up like
! n stone wall. while the rest of the mar
ket. especially the industrial spccialtiCs.
! were steadily crumbling.
1t is not hard. however. to get bullish
talk and bulliSh points on the railroads.
1t is found in every nook and corner of
the Street. The more surprising part
| is the reluctance of the So-Called out
siders to come in aud join the merry
company. The public. however, within
the last five years. have been 80 thor
oughly educated to expect big things by
the excited gyratiOnS of the industrial
issues, that it is, evidently. going to be
hard work To get them to fancy the
safer, but slower. moving rails.

Unpopular Short Seller

"A great deal has been said and
written concerning short selling said
a we'll known broker yesterday. Not
withstanding he wins nine times out of
ten nobody loves bear. lie is looked
upon aS Il foe of every investor hoping
to see his particular stock 90 up.
After all. the bear is not such big
foe. because the short selling often
times provides ladder down which
stocks have gone by easy stages. and
which on more than one occasion, has
circumvcntcd a serious situation in the
stock market. despite the opinion of a
former governor of one of the promi-
nent eastern states to the contrary.
Take some of the other markets,
like wool. leather. sugar. etc. in which
short sales are to a large extent un-
known. When the depression came
along in these commodities their prices
took almost a perpendicular drop. In
other words. they had no ladder by
which to climb down. Stocks have
come down. it is quite true. from the
lofty war levels and are as low, if not
lower, in proportion, aS some of the
commodities, but instead of perpcn-
dicular drop, which would have ruined
a legion of market operators, and even
some investors, the decline has been
by easy and slow stages.
"In other words. the short Interest
under the market has provided soft
! landing place. So it might be said, the
stock market bear is not. after all
such a terrible animal as he has been
| pointed out to be. THE TRADER.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Yesterdays performance OF the
market was disappointing to say the
leaSt. Judging from the confidence ex-
pressed at the close of last week. in
the continuation of the recovery or for
ward movement.
Many were of the opinion that be
cause an unwipldly short interest had
been brought up to the Captains desk
for settlement, that the spectacle of
rapidly rising prices marked the in
ception Of the long hoped for bull
movement. Fortunately, few labored
under this halucination. as the greater
majority of the trading contingent long
since recognized protrncted forward
swing in the market was next to an
impossibility in view of the still strained
money conditions. 1t would have re-
quired little short of miracle to
overcome the distractions which have
obeen placed against revival of specu-
lative enthusiasm. These are certainly
not the days of miracles, in all events,
in so far as the stock market is con-
cerned.
Close observers Of the market situa-
tion are practically unanimous in the
belief that, as there is nothing to in
dicatc a material increase of public
participation in the market the rest of
the current month, unless there shall
be news developments of importance.
the technical position is likely to rule
the movement of prices. While nothing
much is being said. there is undis-
guiscd uneasiness entertained concern E
ing the general business situation.
In wholesale trade circles. particu-
larly dry goods. there is much gloom,
and some people of real importance,
according to reliable reports. are af
fccted. On the other hand. there are
many who firmly believe that this con-
dition had been foreseen some time ago
by the big market interests. and ac-
cordingly, to a large extent has already

Do Not Want to Deal With
 BOlSheYiki

London. July 2s.-The decision Lloyd. George nt their Boulogne con- ference yesterday received no en- thusiastic endorsement from the Lon- don press today. The premiers agreed to stand by the original plan for q peace conference with the Russian soviets. They decided that the Lon- don conference which the soviets de- .h. s S could not take place unless ho boisheNaki rcN@raed thair nra.ent attitude and agreed to disUss~ as ths conference peace with Poland with all qualified representatives of Russia and border states in attendance.
 By the anti Bolshevik papers the them saying ''it will bring nearer that diplomatic recognition of the soviet government which wo especially de- test and dread"
 Premier Lloyd George, whom these papers regard as anxious to establish relations with tho soviet. Is sharply criticized. as ono of them puts it. for surrendering to tho Bolsheviki ana creating by his policy very serious situation"
 The London Times declares the matter ia ''too grave for irrevoca 5lc decision behind closed doors and maintains that 1t must be submitted to tho parliaments of -tise ytii=-. Ihe paper sympathlxea "Hn the French view that A-serica must have voice In .r.U question, implying its belief that America would Tepudiate an agreement based on the Bolsheviki conditions
 Tho Daily Telegraph lamcnts the necessity to have dealings with the Boiahoviki and says:
 If we do not light Russia-which is the last thing anybody desires-we must come to a definite understanding with her"
 The Chronicle describes the Bou- logne decision as q "Judicious middle formula"
