General Electric

Continuing their tactics of searching
for weak spots in the market, traders
yesterday found General Electric vul
nerable to selling pressure. Whether
or not it was the cause or the effect
Of the weakness in the stock, rumors
were circulated that the company was
contemplating new financing, but these
were not confirmed at the New York
Offices or by the bankers that are
usually connected with the offering Of
General Electric securities. 1t was
stated in official quarters, however,
that a block Of stock will probably be
offered to employees in the near future.
The selling Of the company's shares
was most pronounced during the morn
ing, when the price broke from 14l to
1856 At this level, however, buying
appeared and there was q rally to
above 1873. Further selling at the close
caused q reaction to 1877, net loss
of ~ points.

Deny Sears-Roebuck Dividend Cut

Reports that the new SearsR Roebuck
financing arrangement would require
that the dividend rate be cut from 8
per cent 70 per cent were denied
yesterday. A. H. Loeb, ce-prcsident
Of the company, was quoted in Chicago
dispatches as saying there was no
foundation for the story and that the
dividend question had not even been
discussed. New York banker identi-
fed with the forthcoming $4,000 600
note issue corroborated these state
ments. Nevertheless, the circulation Of
the rumors late Wednesday was fol-
lowed yesterday by pronounced weak
ness in the stock, which declined in the
carly trading to 100, 3 new low for the

are "A sound policy in such a situa-

both OF which are equally important
The first is conservatism and caution
IN making loans which customers do

the first makes possible is courageous
lending to the full limit of the need of
solvent customers who must have
money. We are no longer hampered bv
lnabiilty to use our reserves in times
OF emergency, as vas the case under

Jealousy Between Trade Unions

not So much because Of dissatisfaction

suited from the settlement Of the de-
mands Of the longshoremen by grant

The railway men are demanding an
advance of FL week in disregard Of
an agreement they had made with
the government only five days earlier,
which provided for an automatic ad-
justment of wages, according to cost

also have presented demands for
large increases.
The cotton operators who had
threatened to strike on May l to en-
force demands for so per cent wage
increase: have now accepted gov
eminent arbitration. The employers
offered them an advance of 22a per
cent, which. was rejected.
Gas workers have demanded wage
increases, more holidays and over

advance is expected to cost t52.0oo'-

CONSTANTINOPLE. May Is (Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press)
Hundreds of Armenian families are
being reunited monthly through the
efforts of the members of the Ameri-
can committee for relief in the near
east. who are scattered thro lghout
the leading cities of Asia Minor with
headquarters in this city. In the de-
portations of the last four years Ar
menians have been shuttled about be-
fore various military movements with
the result that nearly every family
is searching for news of missing mem
bers.
Levon Shamlisn.~ young Armenian
who is now a successful merchant at
Balikeshir. recently located his mother
and young sister. through an adver-
tisement printed in local paper by
N. j.. who is directing the American
movement to unite Armenian fam
lilies. Shamlia is preparing a home
for them in Balikeshir.
The history of the Shamlian family
is typical of the experiences Arme-
mans suffered at the hands of the
Turks. They lived in Bitlis, in the
far eastern part of Asia Minor. Lee
Won Shamlian and his father were
separated from the rest of the fam
lily by the Turks and Levon was
forced to go into the Turkish army
and has never heard from his father
His grandmother and grandfather
were killed. His mother was taken
as servant by Turks. Seranoush was
taken as a maid servant by kurds.
The mother and daughter came upon
each other unexpectedly in the
American refuge at Aintab. both hav-
ing walked hundreds OF miles and
suffered terrible hunger and hardship
in their search for relatives and
safety.
Lists of orphans will also be print
ed in Armenian papers in America
in the hope OF finding homes for thou
sands of homeless children who may
have friends or relatives in America.
The American committee had nearly
10000 orphans in the Constantinople
district alone. and nearly twice that
number in the Beirut area.

MEXICO CITY, May 25 (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
The revolution which overthrow Pres
ident Carranza and eliminated in his
death was attended by many interest
ing or exciting episodes which could
not be reported to the outside while
the coup was in progress. Some of the
discoveries which have followed the
installation of new authority in the
capital city. too, have been entertain
ing.
Notable was that revealed by ad in
term officials of the treasury depart
ment who announced they had found
evidence of a fraud which had netted
somebody an amount estimated at
about 100000 pesos. The papers here
say that, when the infalcifcables (pa-
per money with which the country
was flooded during the last previous
revolution) were burned. about one
quarter of the amount officially re-
ported to have been destroyed had
been previously extracted and sold at
the current rate of 10 centavos on the
peso.
Food Prices Boosted.
The Carranza government had been
taking the old paper money in as a
sort of supertax on import duties and
other taxes. Later it was supposed to
be burned.
While no disorders occurred in the
capital during the evacuation by the
CarranZa government and the occu-
patton by the liberal revolutionary
forces. nor did public services cease
functioning for an instant, the inhab-
itants of the capital were victims both
of inconvenience and profiteers. Food
prices increased and change. which
has been the bugbear of everybody
since silver began its sensational rise

The spectacle of a city of 1000, 900

by Carranza. Both cable and tele

GREEN-G|LLED OYSTERS
DISCARDED NO LONGER
University Professor Discloses
Facts Highly Beneficial to
Virginia 0ystermen.

PROVIDENCE. r. l.. June SLOW
Virginia oystermen profited by the
discovery that green-gilled oysters,
which they had discarded as worth
less. were identical with the famous
Marrennes green oysters. which are
considered a great delicacy in France.
is one of the interesting facts dis
closed by Prof. Philip H. Mitchell of
Brown University. in an informal re-
sumo of his researches in oyster Gull
ture.
In the joint effort of the federal
bureau of fisheries and the Rhode Is
. land state shellf1sh commission to de-
termine the causes of declina of
the oyster industry and to devise
remedies the aid of Brown Univer-
sity was sought. Prof. Mitchell has
been observing the oysters of Mar
ragansett Bay for five years, partly while
he was serving as director of the fed
eral fisheries biological station at
Woods Hole, Mass. The explanation
OF the things which he sought and
found.
Great Delicacy In France.
practically no part of the ami
NAL" said Prof. Mitchell, except the
gills shows any unusual color, and
this is a pale greenish-gray. The
condition seldom appears in Ameri-
can oysters. Occasionally. however
sporadic outbursts lasting one or two
seasons appear among the Virginia
oysters. They correspond exactly to
the descriptions of the famous green
oysters of Marrennes, off the coast OF
France. 1 was able to show that
they are exactly the same thing and
produced in the same way.
when it was shown during the
recent outbreak of green-gill in Vir-
ginia that they were of the genuine
Marrennes type. what previously had
been a loss to oyStermen became an
asset. and green-gills from the Viz
ginia beds were sold to leading hotels
in New York and Washington" said
: Prof. Mitchell.
Pigment stored In the ellis.
He explained that all oysters feed
on microscopic plants called diatoms
and that when certain species OF
diatom is abundant in the water the
oysters absorb it's peculiar and char
acteristic pigment and store it away
in the gills, which gives them theH
greenish tint. Such oysters he de-
scribed as extra fat and very lus-
cious.''
Another problem attacked was the
cause of the blush green color
sometimes seen in oysters. This was
found to be due to the presence OF
copper which oysters absorb from
sea water. Prof. Mitchell said that
amounts of copper small enough to
escape detection were not dangerous
to health and that discolored oysters
never were marketed until after they
had been transpianted to regior
where they could slowly free them
selves from the copper. IF any one
should attempt to eat them" he re.
marked. he would probably never
manage to swallow the first one. The
pronounced taste of the copper com.
pounds is, to say the least, unpala.
