THAYER SAYSRYAN
is ALL OUT OF STUTZ
Former Head of Company Has
Nothing to Do With New
Organization.

Charles M. Schwab. Eugene v. II.
Thayer and their associates. who pur-
chased from the Guaranty Trust Com
pany control OF the Stutz Motor Car
Company OF America. did not take the
step with any idea OF helping Allan A.
Ryan. who formerly controlled the cor
poration and who is now a bankrupt.
or with the idea OF restoring the prop
.erty to him. This was made plain yes
terday by Mr.. Thayer, who declared
that Ryan was in no way connected
with the buying syndicate and that he
was definitely and finally out OF Stutz.
Mr.. Thayer said the plans of the pur-
chasers had not yet been fully formu-
lated. although he insisted that the pur-
pose of the new interests Is to build
automobiles and not to operate in the
stock market. He would not intimate
whether or not the policy of the Stutz
company will be changed or whether
new models will be built.
Charles M. Schwab. who was one OF
the principals in the transaction. was
not In New York yesterday 1t was
learned that he has had under consid-
Grafton for some time the plan to ac-
quire the controlling interest in the
Stutz company. 1t was said that sew
eral months ago Mr.. Schwab. accom-
panied by engineers of the Studebaker
Corporation. made an inspection OF the
Stutz plants. This gave rise to reports
that the purchase was made for consol-
idation with the Studebaker Corpora
ton. but officials of that concern de-
MED any connection with the new Stutz
syndicate. 1t was said that Mr.. Schwab
is a large stockholder of the Studebaker
Corporation and that the management
of that company offered him the services
of the Studebaker engineers in his ex-
animation OF the Stutz properties as a
matter of courtesy.
Whether Stutz shares will again be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange
was a topic of interest in Wall Street
yesterday. Since the end of March,
1920. they have been virtually without
a market. except for a transaction now
and then on the New York Curb Mar
ket. Since the sale to the Guaranty
Trust Company at auction OF the Ryan
stock and it's resale to the Schwab-
Thayer syndicate activity In Stutz shares
has been pronounced. Following an
nouncement OF the entrance into the
corporation of the new interests spirited
bidding carried the stock above 25 yes
terday for the first time since the Ryan
bankruptcy proceedings were started.
Those identified with the transaction
declined to give out the price paid. 1t
Is understood however. that 1t did not
differ materially from the $50 a share
paid by the Guaranty Trust Company,
or close to $4,000 600 for the block

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. G.. Aug. 10.
The President of the United States
would be empowered, with extremely
vague limitations. to fix tariff rates
in the future under an amendment
to the F'ordney- McCumber tariff bill
introduced in the Senate to-day by
Senator McCumber (Rep., N d.,
chairman of the Finance Committee.
The proposal instantly drew the fire
of the Democrats and Il few Republi-
cans, notably Senator Borah Udaho)
and I.enroot (Wis.), who branded it
as everything from unconstitutional
to unwise. The debate dragged on all
day, an involved and technical dis
cussion of how far Congress may go
in shifting the burden of tariff max
ing to other hands, and vote was
delayed until tomorrow.
The McCumber amendment is much
the same as the original section of the
tariff bill which gave the President
wide latitude in fixing rates, but 1t has
been changed to meet constitutional
objections and to try to satisfy the de-
mands for scientific tariff machinery,
for which there is an Enthusiastically
wide sentiment
In presenting the amendment Senator
McCumber said that 1t contained some
Of the features of the much discussed
Frelinghuysen amendment. which at

@ARLYLE BARTON, one Of the
I leading lawyers of Baltimore,
sent this message to several
Senator's in protesting against the
proposed $4,000. .00O. 900 bonus raid:
Every one with whom I come
in contact is more than willing
that everything possible be done
for the wounded soldiers, but has
no sympathy at all for the effort
on the part OF the organized mi
nority of former service men to
obtain money from the United
States Treasury at the expense of
the rest of us.
THE former soldiers can never
be paid what their services were
WORTH to the country and those
that returned in good health should
let the matter rest as their pa
triotic contribution as citizens"

Farm Bloc Uncertain.

As the debate progressed virtually
every Senat or, except those who were
lawyers, left the floor. There were long
quotations from Supreme Court de-
cisions. the Senate chamber taking on
more OF the aspect OF court room
than legislative hall.
But the situation served TO clear up
fairly well the probable lineup when a
vote Is taken. and the outstanding fca-
tire OF this was that the vote will he

McCumber's Argument.

THE amendment now proposed In
more logical, think" said Senator
McCumber, in presenting 1t to the Sem
ate. than the original. IL makes clear
that which was not clear In the original
amendment, that the President shall not
use the American valuation basis for
levying duty until he has ascertained
that the duties which he might levy
by an increase of so per cent upon the
foreign valuation will not effectuate the
purpose of the section. and he Is TO go
to the American valuation basis only
when he has ascertained the impossible
ity OF cffectuating the purpose by inn
posing the rate upon the foreign valua-
tion basis. and has proclaimed that facr.
and has In addition. proclaimed the rate
necessary to effectuate the purpose upon
the American selling price basis
"The President shall not make any
change which viii raise the. duty where
the law itself has fixed a maximum rate
of duty. That change Is In addition to
the modification of the amendment as
originally proposed"
The attack on the proposal came from
all sides, the chief discussion IN all
instances coming from the lawyers OF
the Senate. who questioned the con-
stitutionality Of the scheme. At one
time the debate grew extremely intense

about the unconstitutionality of legisla-

deal OF salt the. everlasting argument OF
unconstitutionality.'
Senator Walsh declared that several
acts of Congress recently had been de-
clared unconstitutional BY the Supreme
Court OF the United States, naming
specifically the first and the second child
lab Dor acts and the Lever act. Senator
McCumber admitted the truth OF this.
but added that in tho vast number Of

were unconstitutional had been upheld

Since September there have fiftv-
nine cases successfully treated as
follows: "a silver hllings. 20 .em-
porary Filings. 1o2 extractions 4s
treatments. 10 cleanings. 5 examt-

No work is done without the con-
sent of the parents. Before a case
can be taken to the clinic the school
nurses go 10 the home OF the child
and talk the matter over with pa
rents. explaining what needs TO
be done. II the parents consent
is given. the child Is then scheduled
for the clinic and given as good
dental attention as he could pos
sibly get in the doctors own office.
Children from other school are
brought to the clinic in one OF the
school cars. Only cases who can
not possibly afford TO have the
work done are taken in the clinic.
The dentists expressed themselves
unanimously as in favor OF the
clinic. They are cooperating in
the finest possible way to make the
very finest CONNIE nda tion. They
give their time absolutely free OF
charge and are as devoted TO the
boys and girls IN the clinic > they
would be IL the cases were cared
for in their own offices. Such a
spirit of cooperation cannot help
but be an influence in the school
upon the lives OF the boys and
