New-York tribune., 1920-03-27

1t is, of course, a musical and
literary crime that Mr.. Herbert has
had to set so many mediocre librettos;
and 1t is a saddening fact that "The

loneliness and "a libretto of high merit,

 Nevertheless, it is anticipated that both house and senate will have to vote on. the universal training pro nosal. for it is included in the senate bill. and Repre sentative Kahn, Repub- lican. chairman of the house military committee. which is framing tho house bill, reiterated tonight his in tention of pressing adoption of the plan.
 After the caucus, some of the Dem ocrats frankly stated that their ac- ton was an assertion of their 'inde- pendence" in the belief that they knew the sentiment of the country peter than either the president or the party leaders.
 Though the debate was held close to the issue before the caucus, ire duent reference to the president and Secretary Baker were injected into the discussion Representative Kitch- in declared with all due deference' to these officials he believed there could be no objection to the House stating it's position, especially since both officials had put the party on record" by announcing their attitude

 Representative Caldwell declared that every post of the American Le- zion by the action today at Indian apolis had gone on record in favor of universal training. He urged that pc litical eXpediency favors q declaration for such training, rather than a stand against it. Representative Olney. Massachusetts, and Representative Fisher, Tennessee, both members of the house military committed, along with Mir. Caldwell, also urged no ac- ton at present but the other Demo cratic committeeman opposed them or remained silent.
 Some opposition was manifest against unversal training on the ground that too many youths would be called from farm and industrrisl pursuits. curtailing production. which was said 10 be the greatest neetl of the country"
 Though record votes were taken in the Democratic caucus these were not made public.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Nervousness was the dominant note sounded by to- days apathetic stock market. prices recording progressive reactions after the firm opening, but rallying irregu- larly when money eased in the last hour.
 Market gossip and letters circulated by brokers and commission houses over the weekend dwelt upon the uncertainties underlying the general financial situation and such opinions as were vouchsafed expressed belief in further liquidation.
 Foreign exchange and local money conditions were unmistakably better, the London rate retaining most of its recent recovery, while call money was freely offered at per cent after opening at If per cent.
 Last weeks clearing house state ment showed further material reduc- tion of loans and discounts, but re- ports submitted by the principal re- serve eenters of the country disclosed additional impairment of cash hold ingS.
 Motors, oils, feathers, tobaccos and an admixture of unclassified issues embraced the other heavy stocks, but covering by shorts in equipments led the final recovery. Sales amounted to 775,000 shares
 The general bond market was nesI- tant, minor reactions predominating in investment issues, the Liberty group and internationals. Sales, par value, aggregated SIS, 3,S50,O00. Old United States coupons and registered 2's and fs advanced 14 per cent on call

1888 CHARTER MODIFIED
Justice Erlanger Rules Provisions Re-

After 1900.

Efforts OF Clarence II. Vcnner, Wall
street operator and promoter. to prevent a
$50. 1900 flotation of covertble bonds and
their conversion into capital stock by the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany We're defeated under decision of
Justice Erlanger in the Supreme Court
yesterday Justice Erlanger dismissed the
plaintiffs suit for an injunction and ac-
Mr.. Venner sued as a stockholder Of the
corporation. alleging that the proposed is
sue II converted as intended would in
crease the amount OF capital stock beyond
what was limited by charter. He also as
serted that he had been deprived of an
opportunity to subscribe for the bonds in
proportion to his existing holdings and said
other stockholders were similarly affected.
With the approval of the stockholders.
the corporation in 1899 increased it's capital
stock from $25, 900, 600 TO 10000 900, and Mr..
Venner contended that under the proVi-
sions Of the charter OF 1888 all stockhold-
ers had right to subscribe for any new
issues within sixty days.
However. Justice Erlanger held that the
provisions became Intellectual after 1899.
The charter referred only to the issue of
the first $50,000,o 600. an6 did not restrict
subsequent stock additions. Because OF the
condition of the financial market VIXEN
the last issue was floated, Justice Erlanger
said, the length of the period that the
loan could be kept open To receive sub
scriptions was limited if responsible
bankers were to underwrite the issue.
"Under normal conditions longer period
for the flota ation of the bonds would per-
haps have been accorded, but 1t is quite
apparent that the notice to the stockholders
could not reasonably have been more ex-
tended in this instance under the unsettled
financial conditions existing at the time
tho issuance of the bends was made" de-
clared Justice Erlanger.
The Justice also dismissed that portion
of the plaintiffs complaint In which he
alleged that excessive commissions were
allowed the underwriters of the issue,
holding that the amount allowed was only
commensurate with the risk assumed.

United states Steel Earnings.

The fact that the United States Steel
Corporation did so much better in the De-
cember quarter than had been expected by
the Street stimulates interest in the COM
panys annual report, which viii be ISSUED
in March. 1t is believed that the balance
sheet as Of December 81 will show an in
crease in the book value of tho common
stock. Depreciation allowances in the case
Of individual subsidiaries are said to have
been liberal in compiling the quarterly re-
ports. II. s. Steel common earned ut the
rate OF 9.10 per cent in the December quar-
ter and at the rate of 10A per cent for the
year. The impressive feature OF the quar-
terly report was the progressive increase IN
earnings in the three months OF the last
quarter. 1t also is interesting to note that
the company succeeded in maintaining net
earnings at a rate higher than $ll,0D,OoO a
month during a period when labor leaders
were busy telling the public that the steel
industry was paralyzed by the strike. The
steel strike ended officially only about
two weeks ago. 1t is evident that IL mao
ended for all practical purposes of the Steel
CORPORATION long prior to the official date.
u. $. Realty Strength.
According to a director of the United
States Realty and Improvement Com
pany. there is no likelihood of a dividend
distribution on the stock in the immediate
future. The company has an issue of
sI1 $1,000 debenture bonds outstanding
which will mature in 1924. This director
said that until the company knows how
IL will meet that maturity when it falls
due It will not distribute anything on the
stock. The u. S. Really Company has
been successful In disposing Of some of
it's real estate at good prices within the
last year. IT has others on the market
which it probably will SELL 1t will have
comparatively small taxes to pay on these
properties, as they are carried on the
books at a high valuation. Rents have
doubled and even trebled within the last
year. The company is benefiting by
these increases in all cases where leases
are renewed.
Treaty Influence MI.
Much of the late selling of stocks
was due to the statement of Senator
Hitchcock quoted ion tickers that II
the bipartisan conference breaks up
today as threatened without action III
will mean postponement of considera-
ton OF the treaty for at least two
weeks because of the absence OF large
number OF Senators on account OF sick
ness and the unwillingness of Senator
Hitchcock to bring the matter back to
the floor without due warning to those
absent On the other hand, n consider
able number of traders believe that the
treaty has ceased to be an immediate
influence on stock movements. They
think that an indefinite delay in ratifi-
cation is assured and has been dis
counted.
