Several months ago Dempsey and

Old Records Are in Danger
When Barron Gets
Busy.

Just a scant few years ago-not
tion--a visitor to Franklin Field,
Philadelphia, might have noted
Stringy, gangling lad doing his awk-
ward best to scramble over three
hurdles in one corner Of the enclos-
ure.
That, if>you were at all interested,
was Burt Barron's younger brother"
you would have been informed.
Burt Barron was the then high
hurdle champion OF the Philadelphia
schools; that was about all the claim
to notoriety the scrambling, stringy
youth could muster at that time.
Burt Barron is forgotten to-day
even in Philadelphia, while "the
young brother" Harold Barron of
Penn State Is known the world over
as the American hurdler who forced
Earl Thomson to record figures over
the high sticks" at the last Olympic
Games.
Harold Barron is now recognized
as one of the finest hurdlers the
world over and certainly the great
est in the American colleges. AS he
looked Ave years ago, one wouldn't
have cared to risk a Buffalo nickel on
his chances to become great.
Burt had a bit of form and certain
amount of speed; Harold, at that time,
had neither. Burt was winning races;
Harold couldn't top five hurdles in a
row without breaking leg. To the
public at large the latter was merely a
harmless individual indulging himself In
a mild form OF dementia.
But what the public did not recognize
was that Burt was one OF those muscle
bound seventeen second men" who

Edmund Burke Roche
Decides To Be Irish Peer
He Will Set Aside His American
Citizenship to Become
Baron EernlnY

Edmund Maurice Burke Roche has
decided to become British subject
and prove his claim to the title of the
Baron Fermoy and take his place among
the Irish peers of Great Britain. Mr..
Burke Roche, who, through the sud-
den death of his father, the third Baron
Fermoy, in Wales last September, in
herited the lattcr's estates, honors and
title, announced his decision last night,
but said he had not determined when
to take necessary legal steps.
Mr.. Burke Roche is the elder of twin
sons of the late Baron and Mrs Fanny
Work Burke Roche, of this city. The
younger is Francis Burke Roche. Last
night Edmund Maurice Burke Roche
said he had hoped to persuade his
younger brother to assume the title as
the fourth Baron Fermoy, but this
could not be done.
Even if l remained an American
citizen" said Mr.. Burke Roche, 81
still would be the Baron Fermoy in
the peerage Of Great Britain"
Mr.. Burke Roche's sister, Mrs. Arthur
Scott Burden, and his brother are in
England. Mr.. Burke Roche may &c
abroad and join them at the interna-
tional polo games in Hurlingham in
June, and then start proceedings that
will make him an Irish peer, with pos
sibly seat in the House Of Lords.

Ship Five Days Overdue
On Voyage From Texas
Atlantic and Gulf Searched by
Wireless in Vain Effort TO
Locate Steamer Hewitt

:, Up II late hour last night the
Naval Communication Service had no
news Of the misi,ing American tank
steamship Hewitt, which is five davs
overdue on her run from Sabine. Tex.
to Boston and Portland, Ne. The yes
sci, laden with sulphur, left Sabine
January 21 and has neither been sighted
nor reported by radio Wireless, mes
cages have been sent out over the At
iantic and Gulf since Wednesday. but
no vessel has seen her or been in com
municetion with the Hewitt
officials of the Union Sulphur Com
pany.. owner of the Hewitt, expressed
confidence yesterday that she would be
rcported soon. 1t is thought she may
have had engine trouble and have
drifted off the track of steamships
bound north from Gulf ports.
The Hewitt's owners doubt the theory
ih their vessel might have met with
mishap off Atlantic City last week when
coast guards reported having seen a
binding flash, followed b3 the sound
Of an explosion. The ship owners said
that their vessel could not have been
off Atlentic City at the time.
The Hewitt is in command of Cap
tain II. j. Hansen and carries a crew of
forty-two men.

National Surety Report

The National Surety Company in it's
annual report, covering 1920 opera
tions, issued yesterday showed total
losses paid and incurred of $3,932, 1924
Net premiums written and other un-
derwriting income amounted to Sill
0o0T11. The surplus was increased
from $5,512,o28 to $5,6oS,981 during the
year.
William B. Joyce. president. of the
company, calls attention to the fact
that the company had in 1920 greater
number of defaults of all kinds and
an aggregate loss than ever before,
due to the unsettlement of conditions
arising out of the war.
The so-called '$5,000,000 Wall Street
thefts' gave the company considerable
publicity" the report says, "but in a
lew places created an impression that
it had suffered heavy losses. This is
partly true only. The losses in the
financial district of New York during
1919 and 1920 were very much less
than the sum mentioned Our risks
We're largely reinsured; therefore the
net loss to the company was not dis
turbing."

Binginamton Schools Give
S8,425 10 Hoover Fund

Herbert Hoover. as administrator of
the European Relief Council, was the
recipient yesterday afternoon Of a
check for $8,425.83, the proceeds of a
drive conducted by the school children
of Binghamton, N. Y. Six boys, all
under fourteen years, made the trip
to New York to present the check to
Mr.. Hoover.
Everett Lee, as chairman, said their
initial aim was that every one of the
5000 school children of Binghamton
should account for the feeding of one
of Europe's starving children for one
month. but at the close of their CAM
paign they found they had more than
doubled the figure they had set as their
coal.
Mr.. Hoover said: "We wouldn't have
believed that you boys could have done
this l had expected to see somewhat
larger boys than yourselves, but the
higness of the job you have done
makes up for whatever you might lack
in the way of stature. In addition to
feeding 5000 children for one month,
you have set a lasting example to the
rest of the children of this country as
to how they can help their starving
brothers and sisters in Europe"

Steel Prices:

May Rdadjust Industry
Believe Independents and
u. S. Corporation Will BE
Forced to Follow Example
speesa, Dlspoteh to The Tribune

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Feb. - That
price war has been declared in the
steel industry which will result in
wholesale and universal slashing of
selling prices on all products, save pos
sihly pipe and tin plate, was forecast
here to-day. The prediction was made
sitter the announcement that the Mid
vale Steel and Ordnance Company,
which owns the Cambria Steel Com
pany in Johnstown and operates plants
IN the Philadelphia district and in
Coatesville, Pa, had determined to
break the deadlock between steel man
ufacturers and consumers of steel
products, which has been on for nearly
two months, by sending out it's sales
men at once to dispose of products
without regard to the price schedule Of
the Industrial Board, to which all COM
panies have been adhering since early
in November
The new policy of the Midvale con-
Germ has caused CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the independent and United
States Steel Corporation officials. 1t
ment of the policy was made, but that
it was to be put into effect with as
little publicity as possible.
Youngstown and nearby steel manu-
facturers believe this move by the
Corey interests will prove a forerun-
ner for price war which will quickly
result in the readjustment of the in
dustry. That the other independents
and the United States Steel Corpora
tion would be forced to meet Midvale
prices, whatever they may be, was
freely admitted. While the news was
received with pessimism in some quar-
ters. it was also looked upon as clear
ing the way for the reduction in wages
and lowering of other cost items which
have been standing in the way Of a
complete readiustment of the steel in
dustry.

Profit Sharing Suggested
Federal Document States
City's National B a n k S
Earned .37I2 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE country
row is in many respects on sounder
basis, economically, than it has been
for years, Comptroller of the Currency
John Shelton Williams informed Con-
gress to-day in what he described as
his seventh and last annual report"
Defation, obviously inevitable year
ago, has come, he said, and prices of
many basic commodities and raw ma
terials have returned to pre-war levels
or below at now remains for the mid
dleman,' the Comptroller declared, "to
adjust his profits to the new prices be-
fore the ultimate consumer will receive
the benefit Of the reduced cost of
living"
Labor, however, Mr.. Williams said,
must soon determine whether a shut
down and idleness are preferred to a
sideration the lower living charges,
Mills and factories cannot afford to
operate unless they can turn out COM
modities at prices the public can afford
to pay, he asserted, and it is better
for the manufacturers to operate and
produce, goods at cost or at very
narrow margin of profit than to close
down entirely.
Participation by labor with capital
in the profits he suggested as the only
principle to restore business.
During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1920, the Comptroller said, there
were 8,157 national banks in operation,
the highest number ever reported, and
despite the difficulties encountered
they made the best record in immunity
from failure in about forty years.
Combined resources of all banks on
June 80, 1920, including national, state
and Federal Reserve, the Comptroller
said, aggregated $50, ,153, ,7o4 600.
Figures showing for the first time
the business of the principal borrow.
ers from national banks were pre-
sented by, the Comptroller. Loans
and discounts on November Is, 1920.
he said, aggregated s13, $4,000, 900, Of
which loans to farmers and livestock
raisers amounted to $1,99S, 900, 900, or
Ia per cent; loans to manufacturing
concerns approximated $2,862, 100000,
or Fl per cent; to merchants, mercan-
tile concerns, individuals in the job
hing business and trading wholesale
and retail, $3,581 100000, or 26 per
cent.
Gross earning Of the national banks
during the fiscal year aggregated ST.
109, 100000, while their total expenses
we're $736,O00,o00, of which $175,o00,-
600 was for salaries and wages and
S287, ,000,00 was for interest on de-
posits. National banks in the City of
New York showed earnings on capital
stock of 371a per cent.
