CHENEY COMPANY

CINCINNATI. Dec. 22.-One OF the
most important decisions ever rendered
in the history of the photograph In
d1stry was handed down by the Unit
ed States Circuit Court OF Appeals at
this city. The decision is a complete
victory for the Cheney Talking Ma
chine Company of Chicago, In the ia
nous "tone-arm" suit brought against
II by the Victor Talking Machine Co
The victor Company brought suit on
tho theory that certain patents owned
ny 1t prevented the defendant from the
use Of it's octagonal stepped tona arm
on which IT had also secured patents
In giving its decision the Court OF
Appeals reversed the lower court. re-
lteved the Cheney Company from any
liability for royalties or damages and
left the defendant free to continue the
manufacture Of It's instruments with
out change In construction.
The spit has been OF general interest
because OF It's influence on the manu-
featuring policies Of many other phono-

President Pearson, Of Railroad,
Announces in New York That
None Is Contemplated.

n NEW YORK, March 1S.--E. J. Pear
son, president of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford, stated yesterday
that with just a little assistance the
road will be able to turn the corner
and resume prosperous operations.
He deprecated the talk of a receiver
ship. and said:
"The unauthorized talk OF receiv-
ership is unfortunate at the present
time Edgar J. Rich is not counsel
for the New Haven road, and while /
do not know what the future may
bring forth. / think 1t my duty to
say that no receviership for the New
Haven road Is now in contemplation.
We hope to get justice in division of
rates and labor readjustmenI.
"We need just little assistance
to turn the corner, and with every
body cooperating and helpful pros
perity can be restored to New Eng
land not only for her industries, but
for her transportation. Coal and sup
ply costs are coming down and more
cars will soon be moving.
ut Is a pity that people should be
frightened out of their railroad own
ership just at this point. The New
Haven railroad, after charging Off all
its bad Investments, will have an ap-
praised valuation for its property far
exceeding its entire Indebtedness and

TOBACCO PRODUCTS DIVIDEND.

NEW YORK, March Is. - Some
doubt was expressed as to the con-
tinuance of the s per cent common
dividend on Tobacco Products. and as
result the stock was conspicuously
weak. . This started selling of other
tobacco issues.
1t was learned after the close that
the directors of the Tobacco Products
Corporation will hold a special meet
ing today. They will probably rec
ommend an addition of S2,000,0 900 to
the preferred and of s5,000,000 to the
common stock, bringing the preferred
to $40. 100000 and the common to $685.
600, 900.
A meeting of stockholders will
later be called to ratify the increase.
Directors will meet. for dividend
action on April Is, and 1t is stated
the course followed will depend on
the outlook for the company at that
time.
Last quarter the dividend was paid
in scrip. Further weakness in the
tobaccos developed when the Ameri-
can Tobacco annual report appeared,
as 1t was looked upon as very dis
appointing.
The Washington times., 1921-03-18
MONEY TENDS EASIER.

Call money again eased to per
cent on the Stock Exchange and loans
were made outside at ) per cent.
Some traders were confident that the
renewal rate would be reduced to 9
per cent, but money brokers' say the
renewal rate will be maintained at
yesterdays per cent rate until
bankers are certain that the rate can
be maintained at a reduced level for
some time.
They have no desire to lower the
rate and then be obliged to go back
to per cent level in a few days.
Numbers of concerns desire to do
financing, and while the individual
amounts required are mostly small.
the aggregate is large.
Judging from the experience of a
month ago, there will probably be
some tightening of rates when the
new issues are put out. The easiness
over the tax ,installment date leads
optimists to look for an early drop not
only in the call rate but in redis-
count charges.
While there is no doubt that the
current easiness reflects improved con-
dItions, it should be remembered that
tax payments were considerably
smaller than last year-some say tn ~
were so small as to be quite embar-
RAISING to the new Administration
and that for this reason the demands
or the banks were correspondingly
less.

CRUCIBLE STEEL SELLING.

Further lines Of shorts were said to
have been put out in Crucible toward
the close. Those connected with the
company are understood to be par
lticularly strong, however. and sellers
are becoming wary Of the premiums
charged for the loan of the stock.
Traders do not believe the outlook
for the independents has improved
materially. They look for no certain
and lasting improvement until the
Steel Corporation announces its price
cuts. 1t is remarked that buying n
not induced by the cutting Of prices,
but by fears of increased prices.
1t is expected that when the cor
poration finally does act consumers
will come into the market in increas-
ing numbers-not so much because OF
the reduction, but because IL will then
be felt that prices havo reached
sound level, with the possibility Of
advances rather than declines there
after.
The Washington times., 1921-03-18

The American International Cor
poration's investments in corporate
securities, as disclosed in the 1920
report, represent a loss of approxi-
mately $12.6oo,00O from cost prices as

cording to a calculation specially
made for The Washington Times.
This amount Is equivalent to nearly
$25.15 share on the 100000 shares

enough to pay fully four years divi-

until omitted last December.

REVENUE REVISION .
WA|TSTMRETURNS

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
today called upon the Treasury tax
experts for an early estimate Of the
amount of the Governments probable
revenues for the year 1921.
This forecast of the Treasury re-
ceipts for 1921 will be based upon the
returns made by taxpayers on the
first intallment of income and profit
taxes filed March Is. The statement
showing how far the revenues will
fall below the actual requirements of
the Government is expected to be
ready within a few days.
No official records today were
available to indicate the extent of the
drop in taxes. but the fear was ex-
pressed by some officials that the
Governments income and profits tax
yields this year, on the basis of last
years earnings, will fall below $3,-
OOO, 900 900.
The Treasury program on tax revis-
ion awaits this compilation. 1t was
announced today. Thus far, Secretary
Mellon has deferred the discussion OF
matters OF rate changes on taxes un-

MORE EXPORTS TO
GERMANY PLANNED

American trade with Germany in
larger volume was the program be-
fore the War Finance Corporation to-
day. Secretary Mellon indicated to
the corporation his desire to see
American exports in larger volume
move to German destinations, to pro-
vide urgent needs for raw materials.
Cotton will comprise the largest
item of exports for German destina-
tions, under plans now before the
finance corporation IN the shape Of
applications for financial backing of
the Government.
Secretory Mellon Is in agreement
with members of the corporation that
the Government should pursue a "lib-
eral" policy toward all American
banking institutions, whose export
connections are able to protect such
Government advances with adequate
security
Although the experts of raw
material to Germany will aggregate
large sum, tho individual projects
covered by applications now before
the corporation. provide for from
81 100000 to $2o00.O00 to aid each of
the numerous exporting concerns now
seeking financial help.
Although the United States is still
at war with Germany technically, Of
ficials today declared that no further
delay should be countenanced for that
reason In getting American raw
materials into Germany. Secretary
Mellon holds the view that It will be
good for American business generally

A. c. Bedford. now chairman Of the

when q youth, and, eager to do more
than he was paid to do. he volun-

making thorough Investigation of
the office.
Young Bedford gladly stayed after
hours to add up long rows of figures,
do multiplication and division. fetch
and replace ledgers and otherwise
make himself useful. With what re-
suit! .--y
The auditor began TO, teach him
bookkeeping and, later, the principles
OF accounting and finance. The mil
lionaire owner OF The business learned
to turn to Bedford for information,
made him his private secretary then
his right-hand man, and when the
Standard OIL took over his business
Bedford's abilities were recognized
and he was rapidly promoted and
prompted until he reached the presi-
Dental chair.
