ODELL RESIGNS FROM
DENVER COMMITTEE
Stockkoiders' Chairman Can
not Glue Time to Work.

Benjamin h Odell has resigned as
chairman OF the committee Of stock
holders OF the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad Company. which has been osn-
testing in court the sale OF the read
to the Western Pacific Railroad Com
pany. Business obligations which he is
compelled to meet are assigned as the
reason for Mr.. Odells action.
The committee has ordered that ap-
peals be taken from the orders entered
in the United States District Court at
Denver confirming the sale of the prop
erty on grounds including the follow
ing:
Entire proceedings are irregular. be-
cause. based upon the original judg-
ment for s3S.000. 900, which the COM
mittee holds should be enjoined:. decree
enormously cut off the six month period

tain States; court is declared to have no
power TO sell the franchise: price OF
$4,000, 600, at which the properties were
sold. is declared so grossly inadequate
as 10 shock the conscience: Denver
property. it is said, was sold at the up
set price of $4,000. .000. whereas the
treasury assets included in the sale, con-
sisting OF stocks and bonds, had a clear
stock exchange value Of more than
IS. 900, 600.
Counsel for the committee Arthur NJ

have advised that If the decree confirm
ing the sale is reversed court decree
will follow compelling the Western Pa

Cuban Loa n Situation.

The initiative regarding the negotia-
tion Of any loan between bankers of the
United States and the Cuban Govern
ment must be taken in Havana In the
form Of a communication 10 Washing
ton, and then, with the approval of the
Government. bankers in New York. Chi
cago and other cities may join in the
formation of a group to solve Cuba's
financial difficulties. That statement
was made yesterday by a prominent
banker who saw the need of careful
survey of the needs in Cuba in behalf
cision as TO how much assistance In the
aggregate would be needed whether
soc, 900 or s1O0,000.00O. With the
survey of the position and a definite
statement as to maximum requirements
cooperative action could be taken to
solve the situation in Cuba. The mat
ter is such as to require nationwide
undertaking with a full measure of CO.
operation. The idea would not be to
valorize sugar which forms the back
bone of the critical situation, but so to
stabilize the industry as TO make IT safe
for loans on sugar at cents a pound.
As matters stand the loaning value of
sugar as security cannot be fixed even
as low as cents a pound and small
loans have been negotiated with sugar
as low as ! y cents and even a cent
pound as collateral. Because the Gov
ernment In Havana appears not TO have
taken the initiative no New York con-
ferences on the Cuban situation have
been held and 1t is not known when
such conferences will occur.

HEAT IN BELT HELPS

to slightly higher.
Apprehension as 10 the effect of hot
weather on wheat had relation TO the
spring crop, and was intensified by fore
casts that abnormally high temperatures
would continue several days. Another
bullish influence was knowledge that
first threshings of the winter crop in
Missouri showed disappointing returns
Assertions that 900 buehes had been
bought for export by way OF the Gulf of
Mexico tended also to lift values. Offer
ings were light until the market had
jumped as much as five cents bushel
in some cases. At that level houses
with Eastern connections became free
sellers and reactions ensued on the
breaks. however. demand broadened,
with the July deliverey. displaying par
ticuar strength near the close. Bull
leaders expect 10 material accumulation
of stocks In July.
strength IN corn was largely due to
of a drought scare. Oats
were somewhat affected by reports of
