M. KELLOGG MADE DIRECTOR.
Succeeds III. ID. Hotchkiss in City
Investing Board.

Macintosh Kellogg has been elected a
director of the City Investing Company
in place Of Supreme Court Justice Henry
ID. Hotchkiss. That change, which oc-
Cured in meeting OF the stockholders
last Wednesday. is understood to have
been the result Of an effort on the part
of certain interests in the company to
obtain control of the meeting and oust
Its present management. which is head
ed by Robert II. Bowling. A consider.
able time ago the minority interests be-
came dissatisfied with the way in which
the company's affairs were being ham
died and an appeal for proxies for use
at last weeks meeting was sent out.
The requests. which went to practical
ly all Of the company's stockholders.
however, apparently had little effect on
their attitude toward the management.
because when the meeting was called
the Dowling interests were sufficiently
backed to control the meeting. and as a
result all OF the directors, except Jus
tice Hotchkiss. were reelected 10 the
board.

Copper shares Heavy.

Continued stagnation in the copper in
dustry and sales of the metal below 10
ceEts again were the chief factors In
yesterdays heavy selling OF the copper
stocks. With respect to Utah Copper IL
was rumored about the Street that its
directors at their next weeks meeting
plan to cut the dividend from $3.50 to
81 quarterly. In that connection there
was considerable selling of the stock as
well as OF that OF kennecott Copper
Company. which owns large block of
Utah shares. Reports received by cop
per men from their properties are not
encouraging and the real danger, it was
said yesterday, is tho possibility that the
depression will continue to the point
where 1t becomes necessary for some
copper companies to break up. or at least
disarrangc their organizations, IN which
cases a revival OF business would not be
reflected in production and earnings for
several months

shares. they found plenty OF takers and
the closing price was IGN, up | q points
Developments are said to be pending In

the stock for the last three or four
weeks has been based on knowledge Of
what those developments would mean

Central Leathcr's Report Bad.

The annual report Of the Central

the year after dividends OF appr'

though it was generally known that the
company would show very large deficit
for the year. the general estimates
placed the figure between $4,000 ,oOO
and $40, 900, 900. and in only two or three
cases were. estimates as high as szo'-

OIL Stocks Lower.

The news from Mexico yesterday
morning to the effect that the Obregon
Government would not allow further
drilling permits to be issued pending
some contemplated action in the Con-
gress there and ntimations that the con-
trovcrsial Carranza DEGREES might be en-
forced again had the effect OF unsettlng
the market for Mexican oil stocks.
Coupled with this was the continued
precipitate decline OF Atlantic Gulf
shares, which added to the irregularity

a year ago. The company's total pro-

that the companys February figures will
be much lower even than its January

Contraction Moderate.

Tho movement toward business con-
traction continued last week, but the
progress was moderate provided the fall
ing off IN loans and deposits is taken as
a criterion. The Clearing House bank
statement disclosed 4 contraction in
loans of S2o,216. 900 and a decrease in
deposits of nearly s12.000,000. An un-
usual feature was the decline in time
deposits, which shrank $11,725,ooo. Loss

COMMITTEE MAKES DECISION
Luxury Tax on Wearing Apparel and
on Sporting Goods viii oo-5iu
Taxes Not Yet Taken Up by
House Leaders.

Washington.-Agreement to elimL
nate the taxes on fountain drinks and
Ice cream and the so-called luxury tax
on wearing apparel is understood to
have been reached by republican men,
bers of the house ways and means
committee, sitting in executive session.
A reduction of one-half in the 10 per
cent levy on sporting goods is also
said to have been agreed upon.
Repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on
carbonated bottled beverages. which is
collected and paid by the manufac-
turer monthly, also was discussed at
the meeting and favorable action was
predicted by some members of the
committee, who argued that 1t was not
fair to remove the tax on drinks at
fountains In the cities and retain the
levy on bottled goods sold largely In
the rural districts.
The total loss of revenue from these
proposed changes would be slightly
less than $50,O00,00o and the reduc.
lions are the first to be passed upon
by the majority members in their ef-
fort to carry out the announced pro-
gramme of republican house leaders
to cut half a billion dollars from the
nations tax bill.

Member OF Dali EIreann Who Was
Accused of Murder and Whom Eng
land Threatened to Hold, is Now
Free, Officials Declare.

London.-The threatened break in
further peace negotiations between the
British governmnt and the Sim Fein
in Ireland was bridged through the re-
lease from prison of John McKeown,
by order of David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, on representa-
tons from Eamonn de Valera, the
Irish republican leader. McKeown
was in prison under conviction for the
murder Of Chief Inspector McGrath.
All the other members of the Sim
Fein Parliament under detention had
been released, but the authorities of
Dublin Castle had refused to set Nc
Keown free. This fact had deeply
stirred the Irish people, who claimed
that McKeown should be accorded the
same immunity as had been granted
the other republicans.
In London the incident is consid-
cred victory for the Sim Fem. The
general belief is, however, that the
Dublin Castle officials acted without
consulting the London government
when they issued their notice that
McKeown could not be released, and
that the London government in the
interest of peace overruled them.

HARVEY TO PARIS
FOR MEETING
DUR AMERICAN ENVOY MAY FACE
GREAT RESPONSIBILITY IN
CONFERENCES.
FRANCO.BRITIsH IN ROW
Great Britain Likely to Insist on Not
Sending Troops to sllesla--Prs-
mIer BRAND May Try to Play
for More Time.

London.-0n the eve of>the meeting
Of the supreme council in Paris to con-
slider the fate Of Upper Silecia, one Of
the most important gatherings of that
body since the armistice, the British
attitude and policy may thus be sum-
married.:
While Great Britain is willing to
give Poland her just dues in Upper
Silesia, she also insists that full con.
sideration and justice be accorded to
German claims.
There is a feeling In official and
other well-informed circles that Pre-
mier BRAND, realizing the gravity of
the present situation. will not persist
in course which would aggravate the
bitterness between Germans and Poles
and perhaps also scrap the Anglo.
French entente.
In diplomatic quarters Ambassador
Harvey's position in the supreme coun-
Gil is akin to that of Henry White at
the Algerciras conference some years
ago. On that matter the Outlook,a
well-known London weekly, says: 1T
will be interesting to know why the
Paris press repeats and clings to the
myth that Mr.. Harvey Is going to the
meeting of the supreme council mere
ly as an observer.
"This Is profoundly true. If. and
when. any situation may arise to i'm
peril the peace OF Europe, through the
Silesian or any other situation, the
representative of the United States
will act. The American administers
ton takes the view that since the
United States was called upon to ex-
pend blood and treasure in one Euro
pean war, prevention of another was Is
vital to American interests"
