improved somewhat since the neavy

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-Despite
the sfirmer tendency in money rates
that has developed since the end of
the. summer recess, bond prices re-
main firm and the demand for invest
ment securities of every class is main
tanned on a good basis. In the listed
bond market. among what are gen
orally regarded as prime bonds. the
best yields are to be secured from the
foretgn government issues, a mum.
Der of which return a yield of y per
cent or better. The most prominent
in this class are the French govern
ment IN s and SIS, French Cities and

the next group are those which re-
turn around per cent on the invest
ment, including Dutch East Indies,

Nbe mentioned most prominently the
Canadian and the United Kingdom
issues. The highest priced foreign
government bonds at the present
time are the SWISS confederate SIS,
which are selling above 12l at the
present time.

Bondholders of another important
issue. have recently exercised their
!. option of converting their bonds into
stocks. The issue referred to is that
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph convertible 6s of 1925. Since
the Increase in the dividend rate Of
this company to 8 per cent there has
been quite an incentive for the bond
holders to exchange them for the
common stock. In addition, valuable
rights are occasionally distributed 70
the stockholders, the latest being the
rights to subscribe to a new stock
issue at par. These rights have the
market value of about $3.50 per
share. IL is estimated that there are
only about sic 100000 of the con-
vert!ble 6's of 1925 and $500, 900 Of

WORK At LAST
ON BAD ROAD
FreehoIder QuakenbuSh Per-
sonaIIy Directs Work of Re-
pairs to Woodbridge Rd.

The actual work of resurfacing
Amboy avenue between Inslee street
and the Woodbridge line was COM
menced this morning by the county
under the personal supervision of
Freeholder Walter Quakenbush, OF
this city. A steam roller. several
trucks carrying patent pavement
and a large number of workmen
started work at o'clock this morn
ing on the straightaway just at the
bottom of the Spa Springs hill.
1t is not known how long will be
required to complete the work, but
with good weather conditions pre-
vailing it Is expected the worst parts
in the road will be fixed by Sunday.
The preliminary work of cutting
down the high and rough spots has
been done during the early part oi
the week by workmen. The bad
holes in the road were filled some
time ago with cinders to make travel
a little more comfortable, but the
heavy rains of late have played ha-
voc with this fill.
The county's portion of the road
extends to a point just north of In
slee street. From that point to the
top of the hill at Myrtle street the
state has taken over for its new road
through this section of the city.

GERMAN LOAN
PLAN GIVEN UP
Bankers Commission Meet
Today to Act on Report in
the Situation

PARIS, June S: (By The Asso-
ciated Press) All idea of an Inter
national loan to Germany has been
given up by the commission Of
bankers and they are meeting today
to agree on the form of their report
to this effect which will be submit
ted to the reparations commission.
The bankers look upon the reply
to their recent note as an official
declaration that unanimity does not
exist among the prospective lenders
and therefore plans for loan can
not be devised.
The opinion that appeared TO pre-
vail was that the view of its inter-
ests taken by the principal creditor.
the French government. ought to be
the controlling factor. The bankers,
it was pointed out, have seen from
the first that there were great diff
ficulties in the way of the flotation
of loan and therefore they are not
surprised at the turn events have
taken.
The decided vote of the repara-
ton com mission marks the first inn
portant decision taken by that body
with the French member, Louis Du-
bois, dissenting. Since the bankers
put to the commission a week age
the question whether they should
limit themselves to proposing a loan
under the present schedule of Ger
man reparation payments the mem-
bers of the commission had been
consulting their governments. The
British, Belgian and Italian govern
ments authorized their members not
to limit the banks in their pro-
posals. The French government,
however. held to the original instruc-
tons given the bankers committee.

DISMISS TAX APPEALS
OF RAILROAD SYSTEMS

TRENTON, June S.-The State
Board of Taxes and Assessments has
dismissed the appeals of railroad
systems agents the assessment OF
railroad property for tax of ls2Z'
Practically all were Jersey Clty
water front appeals. The action OF
the board came as the result of hear
ings that have been continuing for
several months past. during which
time the railroads submitted volum-
inous testimony regarding the value
of main system and second class
railroad property in the state.
The aggregate valuation OF main
items and second class for taxes OF
1922 amounted TO s415,135,51S. or
this amount, the main system was
valued at $3.50. 5S6.637; the franchise
at s12,992 900 and the second class
property at s16O.S29, 43S. The tax
involved s14.74O,62S of which So
6S4,7S9 will go to municipalities for
local uses and the balance of Ssl,-
O55.S39 will be devoted TO state use.
n was the claim of the railroad thaI
this valuation was CONSIDERABLY IN
excess of true value.
The action of the board sustains
the assessment with the exception
of minor adjustments and correc-
tions, which resulted in total re-
duction of s1.535,020. The systems

TOTTENv|LLE WOMAN SAYS
SHE PAID FOR HONEYMOON

TOTTENVILLE, June S-Kather-
inc Lindenmeyer, of this place, car
ried the ashes of her war romance
before Justice Dixie in the Richmond
County Supreme Court yesterday
and asked that her marriage TO
Jesse Smith, a soldier, be annulled.
She had found, she said, that Smith
was already married when the cere-
mony was performed, and she
charged that he had married again
after dese-ting her.
She said she met him while visit
ing the Fox Hill shospital in 1919.
Smith was recuperating from
wounds. After a brief courtship
they were married in Tottenville
July 81, 1919.
+ She told Justice Dixie she had paid
all the expenses of a three weeks
honeymoon at Palm Beach and that
when they went to live at Tottenville
he refused to find job. She turned
over to him $4,000 she had saved
while teaching school. she told the
court, but he failed to invest it as he
had agreed. On the night of Oct.
28, 1919, Smith rushed into their
home and told her he had been ap-
pointed a Secret Service man and
ordered to France Immediately. he
left and she saw him no more, she
said.
The bride told the police and the
Grand Jury in January last indicted
him on a charge of grand larceny.
The police learned she testified yes
terday that instead of going to
France Smith went to Dallas. Tex,
where he married Laura Scott. He
is alleged to have deserted her after
a few months.
The police also turned over to her
a marriage certificate showing smith
had taken Dora M. Jones og Doug
las, Ariz, as his first bride, whlie ne
was serving on the Mexican border.
Mrs. Dora Jones Smith sent word
to the Richmond police that she also
had been deserted.
Justice Dixie reserved decision on
the annulment plea.

CLAIM S|LzER
IS IN THE RACE
Will Announce Candidacy for
Governor in Few Days, is
Report
IN GOVERNORSHIP RACE
Monmouth County Backing
Geran for High 0ffice--Mat
avian Man Silent

That Circuit Court Judge George
s. Silzer. regardless of all reports to
the contrary, will be the Democratic
candidate for governor, is the re-
port in this city today. From in
formation gained from reliable sour
ces, it is said that Mr.. Silzer will
announce his candidacy within the
next ten days.
This report comes upon the heels
of the information given out at the
Silzer home in Metuchen that the
judge is not interested and from
other rumors that he is too i'll TO
undertake an extensive campaign
such as he would be called upon to
make for governor in both the prim-
aries and general election.
1t is a known fact that Silzer as
the candidate is being discussed in
the Democratic circles and that al
though it has been said by several,
among them County Clerk Bernard
M. Cannon, that it is not believed
he will be a candidate, nevertheless
his name is receiving more attention
than any other candidate mentioned
foc the Office up to this time.
The question of a Democratic
candidate for congress to oppose t.
Frank Appleby or ASDury Park IN
the third congressional district in
the election next fall is also occupy
ing the attention of Democrats
throughout the district. Although
several names have been mentionei
as possible candidates. that of Elmer
H. Geran. former United States dis
trict attorney for New Jersey, who
resides at Matawan, is constantly
being forced to the front.
wherever Mr.. Geran appears In
Monmouth county he is spoken OF
as the next congressman, and he Is
receiving the backing of the Mon
mouth Democrats. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Geran is the most logical
man to oppose Congressman Apple
by. When seen concerning his en-
tering the race, Mr.. Geran refused
to be quoted and will not give 4
definite answer either one way or
the other.
