Philadelphia National Bank Warrants in Demand-U r
Dividend Apparently Assured This Year

The continued strength of the Phila-;
delphia National Bank warrants con.
stituted the sole feature of interest of
today's otherwise languid local mar
ket. With the supply limited the price
was advanced to new high record of
142. The movement of the warrants
has been on much the same lines as
accompanied the trading in the sub
scription rights of the previous increase
in capital by the bank in 1913 when 1t
was doubled from 81, 100000 to 3d.
600, 900.
The initial transaction was then made
at 80, which was the lowest point
reached; before the time expired the
price was advanced to 125, or As points
above the initial sale.
With the present increase in the
capital from So, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900
made at 1870. Liquidation by estates,
which are not permitted by law to
take up stock subscriptions. and some
selling by few stockholders either
unable or who did not want to take
up the new stock, caused decline to
11S. With this selling completed the
supply each day has apparently de-
creased. making the advance easy. In
each instance the shareholders were
granted the privilege of subscribing to
the new stock at 5000 II share.
There was little Of anything in the
days news to incite interest in the
market. The majority still adhered
closely to the same waiting policy. Much
interest is manifested in the adjourned
meeting to be held at Chicago on Fri
day between the Federal Reserve Banks
officials and the representative bank
ing interests to consider the credit sit
uation and that of interest payments
on deposits. 1t is generally believed the
future attitude Of the Federal Reserve
board will be shaped largely by the
outcome of the conclusions of this i'm
portant gathering.
About the only other news develop
mcnt of any consequence was that per-
tanning to the new oil we'll brought in
by the General Asphalt Co. in the Trim =

This has been the drawback Of the
productive success of all the wells which
have been drilled in the Trinidad field.
Different methods have been resorted ia
| in order to overcome this handicap, but
as yet without success.
There never has been any question
as to the existence of oil mineral de

of a question of getting it out success

farms under the sheriff g hammer.
And yet some wretches are raising
the cry Of 'proiteers" because after
all these lean years the farmer is trying
to get fair return upon his capital Of
brain and industry-when he gets a
crop!
The real truth is that the farmer
has been carrying all Gods creation 80
long on his stout shoulders, furnishing
food for whole nation at cost or below
it, that they have come to think it is
his duty thus to give them "free
lunches" indefinitely
"Profiteering r. Labor from 81 to
$40 day, and even if the crops were
always good. $3.50 for corn, and for
wheat, 81 to 81 so; and dairymen pay
ing fabulous prices for cattle feed and
the market for canned goods so unset
tied that packers are at their wits end
to determine how much the farmers
shall plant, and. of course, they shar-
ing in the evil dilemma
Again, we say, the American Farmer
has seldom, if ever had anything like q
square deal, certainly not for over q
third of century. So all this talk
about farmers ''profiteering' is wrong,
and those who know his history should
be ashamed thus unfairly to charge
him.

"That's enough"
The French premier then whispered
something to Mr.. Lloyd George, who
rose and addressed the German

"There is little room off there on

tea in the afternoon. I suggest you
gentlemen retire there and when you

CHICAGO STREET CAR
LINES TIED UP BY STRIKE
WaIkout of Electricians And Machn-
lists Comes as Surprise to
the Public.

Chicago July 16.--Street car serv-
ice was completely paralyzed here
by an unexpected strike Of cleo
trical workers, machinists and track
laborers, through which $500 men were
called from their jobs with less than
ten hours notice to the company.
One girl, Rose Stein, IA, is dead
at st. Mary's hospital as a result OF
the street car strike. She was killed
and seven others were seriously in
jured when a motor truck crowded
with passengers bound for the loop
ran into an electric light pole at
RObey and Thomas streets.
Not until 5 a. N. was Wilson Fish,
general manager Of the Chicago Sur
face lines, sure that a walkOut Of any
kind was coming. At that hour every
power plant and car barn was tied
up.
Utter confusion followed. Thousands
waited at street corners for cars that
did not come, unaware that a strike
had been called. Elevated lines and
steam railways were sWamped.
Private automobiles were comman-
deered and limped downtown under
sWarming loads. The morning rush
became confused, belated jam.

the Iron Cross soon after receiving
the wound.
Joachim was born in 1890 The
story of his life at the imperial court
written by Countess Amflle Elsen-

the German empress, describes him as
the spoiled child of his mother. Like
most spoiled children, the countess

Prematurely born, he has been a
physical weakling and subject to cpl
leptic fits since BIRTH Because of his
i'll health he was allowed much lati-

with the result that he was described
as being strong neither morally nor
mentally by those who came in close
contact With him.
Despite these handicaps, however,
his war career, which began almost
with the mobilization of the first of
the German armies, has been described
as thrilling and unusual

forces that drove the Russians QUE of
Mcneil in East Prussia. When the
kaiser abdicated and fled to Holland
he named Joachim king Of Livonia, a

time was not in the possession Of the
Germans.
At the time Joachim was variously

by reclamation.
A statement issued by Amos Pin
chot, ellison Gardner and George L.
Record, all Committee of Forty-eight
leaders, In substance was as follows:
ut is time that the inside facts
should be known.
"The trouble came because the La
Dor party thought the new party
should be a class conscious, radical
party, standing upon the principle of
British guild socialism expressed in
trade union language.
eve believe the new party should
have a short, definite platform, aimed
at the destruction of economic privi-
lege.
"We offered the substance Of our
st. Louis platform.
"A form Of platform offered by
friends of La Toilette was also pre-
sented, with the understanding that
the senator would be willing to &C.
cept nomination on that platform.
eve agreed to accept that platform.
Labor refused fatty to accept it.
"The resultant situation was, that
If we had adopted the La Toilette
platform we could probably have had
him as leader. He would not run and
no other public man having any con-
siderable following could have been
induced to accept the nomination.
"In that event the new party would
have entered the field with a Socialist
platform, headed by a radical labor
leader and the campaign would have
been between that candidate and Debs
for the negligible vote of the Social
lists.

party established upon such a basis"
