concerning the H. V. Greene Company.
The Commercial Finance Corporation,
the. First Peoples Trust, the Mutual
Finance Corporation and the Massa-
chusetts Motors, Inc. The facts dis
closed by an investigation into the re-
1ations between thesek corporations and
the persons in control of their man
agement, he said in letter to Dis
trist Attorney O'Brien, of Suffolk
County,, as we'll as those relating to
the sale of stock. in his opinion war
rant their presentation ITO grand
jury.
The letter was in reply to COM
munication from Mr.. O'Brien trans
mitting request for an investigation
of charges against II. v. Greene, Sher-
man l.. Whipple, Samuel l.. Powers,
Herbert Parker and John, H. Sher-
durne, involving alleged criminal fraud
| and conspiracy.
The Attorney General said that no
evidence of criminal fraud on the part
of the four last named men has ap-
peared at any time during his investi-
cation.
! After reporting on the condition of
several of the companies, the Attor-
ney General wrote that "the original in
vestigation tended to show that in
some instances Misrepresentation
were made by the agents of the H
v. Greene Company, for which in my
opinion they could be indicted. We
have recently received further infor-
nation which, when presented as evil
dence to grand jury should, in my
opinion, result in the indictment of
those under whose authority the sales
ceived their information"

You may have in mind Bush Terminal
Building Company preferred, however,

per cent annually. Dividends are
cumulative. This stock sells around

vestment, especially for a person in a

Utility's Preferred Stock

Question Please let me have your opin-7
ion OF tho per cent oumulatfye stock the
queens Borough Gas and Electric Company
is Offering to the public.-Mrs. Il. Il. 7.
Answer Although the Queens Bor-
ough Gas and Electric Company is
comparatively small concern, it serves
a growing community and has been sue
ecessfully operated since it's formation
in 1902. The per cent cumulative pre-
ferred is suitable for an investor in a
position to watch earnings of the COM
pany, although unless the company
provides market for the stock it may
be difficult to dispose of it on short
notice.

Hardly in Investment Class

Question-will you kindly advise what
you think of Great Northern Iron ore
certificates. New York, Ontario G. West
ern. American Steel Foundries, Hudson
Motor and Loft for investment?--M. r.
Answer-All the stocks you mention
have speculative possibilities, but in
each case continuation of dividends is
so largely dependent on business con-
ditions that there is considerable ele-
ment of speculation involved. The
stocks would be more suitable for q
business man in position to keep in
touch with market conditions.s

PORTLAND. Ore, Sept. 20.-The

CRAFT
To DETERMINE
CONGRESS PLAN
Adjournment Sine Die More
Profitable Than Mere
Recess.
BY Universal Service.

When Congress finishes its work
this week 1t will adjourn sine die
rather than recess. as has been in
dicated, until after the November
elections, when it will take up the
ship subsidy bill.
There's a reason!
II there should be a recess, the
Senators and Congressman would
lose their mileage on the return
trip to Washington. II there is
an adjournment and the President
calls an extra session, as expected,
to take up the shipping legislation,
mileage can be collected.
The mileage allowance for men,
bers of Congress, which Is COM
puted on the basis of 20 cents a
mile one way, amounts to quite
an item for those Senators and
Congressman who come from States
any considerable distance from the
Capital. Moreover, in the event of
an extra session. those who attend
will be here for the regular ses-
sion. beginning in December, thus
being "in" the expense of the
pdCh
There would have to be. under the
law, an adjournment of the extra
session before the time for con-
vening the regular session, making
sure collection of the mileage al
lowance for the regular term.
Leaders of the fight for enact
ment of the ship subsidy bill are
confident the President will call
Congress back to take 1t up after
the elections. which take place No
vember Z. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Harding has tentatively made
up his mind to set the date for
the extra session at November IA,
and that the term will continue
until November "a. when. 1t is eX-
pected, adjournment can be taken
for Thanksgiving.
1t may be that In the 2vent Of
an exrta session call only the
House will come back and actually
function. II could not be expected
that both Houses would be able
to pass the bill within the ten day
period. and, of course, the Senate
can not act until the bill passes
the House.
The desire for the extra session
is based on the necessity of clear
ing everything out of the way for
the annual appropriation bills dur.
ing the short session beginning IN
December.
