Talk Of Larger Ice Dividend

Renewed strength in American Ice
yesterday gave rise to reports that the
company is considering an increase in
the common dividend rate from T to 3
per cent. Although the first sale at SO
showed fractional overnight decline
the stock quickly ran up to 90, a new
high record, and closed 32s points
higher at 81 K. Another story heard
Yesterday was that controlling inter
ests in the company are planning to
double the number Of authorized com
mon shares, distributing the increase
from time to time in the form of stock
dividends. The company's earnings in
1921 ran close to $40 a share on the

The Independent Steel Merger

of America were still going forward

Financing the Soldiers Bonus

Banking interests who have recently
visited Washington are inclined TO look
upon enactment of the soldiers bonus
legislation as virtually foregone con.
clusion. Proposals as to ways and
means of financing the payment are
now receiving chief attention. The
view advanced in the financial district
is that resort both to special taxation
and to issuance of bonds will be neces-
sary to provide the needed funds. The
latter phase of the situation accounts
largely for the recent downward trend
of Liberty bond prices.

the Treasury agreed to accept if Vic

uncertainty as to the extent of con-
versions, however, and whether if more
than s2o0,oo0,oo0 applications took this
form the Treasury would accept them

Money Market Theory

A prominent theory regarding the
stiffening up of the nj money market since
the middle of last month holds that
this has been due to the functioning Of
the Federal Reserve Bank. which has
operated to maintain interest rates.
This accomplishment has been mega
tive in that it has involved the repay
ment Of loans at the bank. Considera-
Bile interest exists as to what the trend
will be when all the banks are out of
the central institution. In that event,
development of easy money might
cause increased demand to the point
where member banks would again be-
come borrowers and the brakes would
a1ain ha annlied

Regular Studebaker Dividends

tion, meeting in South Bend, Ind, yes
terday declared the regular quartcrly y
dividends of sl.75 each on the common
and preferred stocks, but no earnings
statement for the December quarter
was made public. This was explained
by the fact that it is the company S
policy to publish its income for only
the first three quarters and include the
last quarters in the annual report
which is expected to he published in
about month. Studebaker did little
in yesterdays market to attract atten-
ton, although it is reported that pool
is still working in the stock.

Mexican Debt NEGOTIATIONS

President Obregon's statement re-
garding the progress of discussions
with the international committee Of
bankers on Mexico's external debt was
said yesterday in authoritative quar-
ters to give a fairly accurate picture
Of the situation, although rather more
optimistic in tone than is felt to be
justified here. The conversations are
proceeding satisfactorily and settle
ment within the next few months, if
not in shorter order, is conceded to be
a probability.

Municipal Bonds Soft

The state and n.4nc pal section Is
probably the softest spot in the cur
rent irregular bond market in contrast
to the strong position Of leadership
which it enjoyed at one time. TIE
volume Of trading has slackened and
list prices have generally been shaded
slightly. The fact that prices have held
so we'll as they have is attributed to
the absence of pressure from new Of
ferings which have tapered off.
New-York tribune., 1922-02-01
Governments Cash Supply

The explanation Of the absence Of
Withdrawals by the government Of
funds on deposit with the banks here
lies in the fact that payments on ac-
count of railroad equipment trust notes
sold to bankers have kept the gov
ernment supplied with cash. These
payments have had approximately the
same relation to the money market
as direct Withdrawals, which in times
of fairly free supply is nil.

ESCAPES, GOES BACK TO JAIL
Fugitive Returns to Institution to
Get Three Square Meals"
a Day.

Point Pleasant ". Va.-When a
man breaks ont of jail it is usually
with the intention Of staying away
from it. but the rule does not apply
to Strother Colley Of this county, who
escaped from the Mason county jail
here some months ago. He was sen
fenced to Il foln-months' term for
sending IA threatening letter through
the mails.
Sheriff John f. Lewis was aroused
from his bed by the ringing of the Jail
doorhel He responded and was sur
Drised TO find ColIey standing there.
Colley said he had come back to eat.
He had wandered over several
states since leaving the jail, had been
unable to obtain employment and was
also unable to get "three squares" a
day. Colley had three months OF his
sentence to serve, and he figured 1t
was easier to eat by staying in jail
than roaming the country.

BODY POTLATCH suicide
AWAITSFATHER'S COMING
PAGE FOUR

The body of Dewey Campbell the
Potlatch boy who killed himself Sun
day night, after attempting to take
the life of his sweetheart, Miss Gun
HID ASplund, is at the Grice morgue
in this city, having been brought from
Potlatch by Coroner Glen Grice Mon
day evening. 1t is being held pending
the arrival of the father. who has
been located at some point in Stevens
county, Washington. Campbell is said
to be an eighth breed Indian and Is
not related to the pioneer families
of that name in Latah county.
Further details of the crime are to
the effect that Campbell had arrang-
ed to buy an automobile at the Pot
latch garage and was to have made
q payment and taken delivery of the
car Monday Sunday evening he
asked the manager of the garage if
he might take the car out and take
his girl for ride. He was told that
he might and drove to the Asplund
home, but the mother refused to let
her daughter accompany him 1t is
presumed that he had intended tax
mig the girl out in the car and killing
her and himself. He returned the car
to the garage, gave some logical ex-
cuse to the garage man for not TAX
ing the drive and then walked to the
girls home, about a half mile below
Potlatch, on the Palouse road, made
the unsuccessful attempt on her life
and, walking into a clover field a
short distance from the house, took
his own life.
The girl was sitting in plain sight
from the window and it is considered
remarka bic that the bullet missed her.
