have seen may kinds of parades here,
declare that it was one of the most

furnished by the Columbia Military
Academy Band, the Columbia Band
and the Columbia Jazz Band The pro

Laciawanna Yields 10 Per cent.
ID. G., New York Ayenue.-wnl
YOU advise me why Delaware. Lack
awanna q Western Is selling down
SO near par and paying 20 per cent?
am advised that earlier in the
year this same stock sold at 243.
Why this big slump?
It Is selling lower than Union Pa
cific and Canadian Pacific, both the
latter paying the same as Lacka.
wanna. How does Burns Brothers
compare with the above2
ANSWER.-Union Pacific and
Canadian Pacific pay 10 per cent
whereas Delaware, Laclkawanna a
Western pays 20 per cent $40 on
stock Of a par value Of $50.
The stock. selling for more than
twice the par value, yields Sigh y
less than 10 per cent. The reason
It Is now selling so much lower ia
because a 100 per cent stock divi.
dend was paid to shareholders on
August 20.
On Friday, August 10. the stock
closed at 1872. On Monday, August
%, It sold at 95 ex-dividend.
In paying this big dividend the
Lackawanna has practically doubled
its outstanding stock to $S4,554 900.
and 1t is probable that the $3.50
quarterly payment Of July 20 will
be the last for some time at this rate.
It is expected that the rate will
be reduced to IS.
In the June quarter the company
ran away ahead with a net income
of $6,069, 494. against 81 1854, 619 in
the corresponding quarter OF last
year.
Even though the dividend should
be reduced the stock Is an attract
i've purchase, in our opinion.
Burns Brothers Is another 10 per
cent stock and yields In per cent.

s "FIRsT CASE OF PRoFlTEER-
ING" MAY BE HANDLED UN-
DER THE DISTRICT ACT

Washington, Sept. 3.-The attempt
of some property owners in Washing
ton to boost rentals on homes desired
for the stats Of foreign delegates
who will attend the disarmament con-
ference was brought to>the attention
of the cabinet today. r-:.3
In working out preliminary plans,
chief of which relate to the problem
Of finding; adequate accommodations
for minor officials and clerical forces,
cabinet members found that one own
.er Of a house offered for sale at $751;
900 had demanded monthly rental
Of $4,000. H.. ,'
Administration officials declared
the incident showed 'tsuch violation
Of the spirit that ought to be main
tanned that it called for cure by
the good sense OF, the people of Wash
ington."
The conference, as an official ex-
planned, is not a '1ark." Washington
committees are cooperating with the
administration in the task of finding
homes, and it was said that the "6rst
case Of profteering" might be hand
led under. the District of Columbia
rental act, which Congress recently
extended until next May. 5g:.
Much Of the cabinet meeting today
was devoted to a discussion of con-
ference plans. It was decided to use
the two east wings of the Navy. build-
ing for visiting delegations. The
building will be remodeled and the
first floor of each wing fitted up as
committee rooms. The general ses-
sions Of the conference, will be held
in the Pan-American Union building,
just across the street from the Navy
building. ., - - .'. \
It was stated at the White House
that no decision had been reached as
to the number Of American delegates
this depending upon the number to
be designated by. other nations par
ticipating. @.r..

Groom offered no resistance to the
