Equipment Bonds Not Legal

Question: have been told that the
equipment trust certificates issued by vari-
classified legal" bonds. viii you
please advise me If this Is the case and
II li so, why they are so regarded? [ always
Gates were considered a very high grade
security.-G w. M
Answer-Railroad equipment trust
certificates are not legal investments
for savings banks in New York State.
Why they were excluded by the authors
of the laws governing legal investments
has never been adequately explained.
Equipment trusts are universally re-
garded as a high grade of investment,
deriving their soundness from the fact
that the property pledged is so vital
to the operation of the issuing road,
and to the additional fact that in case
of default the property can be readily
sold and easily moved to the lines of
the purchaser. You need not change
your idea Of the value of equipment
trusts because they are not legal in
vestments in New York State any more
than you would as an individual dis
criminate against American Telephone
and Telegraph bonds, United States
Steel sinking fund IS, or numerous
other giltedged bonds simply because
the laws of New York State do not per-
NIT savings banks TO purchase them.
On the other hand, you should not
purchase legal bonds blindly simply
because the law places them in that
class. The savings banks shun numer-
GUS bonds which are legal, and even
though prompted by conservatives no
tions of investment worth they would
like to purchase some securities which
are not legal. In other words, the fact
that bond is legal does not neces-
sarily make it sound, and conversely,
the fact that bond is not legal does
not stamp it as unsound.

his opinion, would be the outcome of

ARREST OF PULLMAN
PORTER solves $4,000
JEWELRY ROBBERY
(Associated Negro Press

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 13.-Through the
arrest in Pittsburg, Pa, of H. H.
Williams, a Negro, charged with the
murder of Levi Price, Colored Pull
man porter, in the local yards of the
Pennsylvania railroad, December 16,
a $4,000 jewelry robbery which oc-
Cured on the goth Century Limited
between Buffalo and Chicago in Feb
ruary,' 1918, has been solved in the
behalf of detectives.
Williams is being held in Pittsburg
for the action of the coroner for the
killing of Price. 1t is alleged that
robbery was the motive and that
Prices money belt, containing about
$4,000, and a watch were missing.
The gem robbery on the goth Cen
tury Limited has baffled the police
for nearly four years. The jewelry
was stolen from Mrs w. E. D. Stokes,
wife of New York multi-millionaire.
Williams was the porter in the car
occupied by Mrs. Stokes. He was
arrested February II, 1918, in Buffalo
while attempting to pawn jewelry
valued at $4,000. 1t is said that this
jewelry was identified by Mrs. Stokes.
After a long legal skirmish in New
York the case was dropped and Will
liams as well as the remainder of the
loot from the train robbery, dropped
from sight.
When Williams was arrested re-
Gently in connection with the death
of Price, it is alleged by the detectives
that he attempted to throw away a
bundle of checks on Chicago pawn
shops. These checks were recovered
in the patrol wagon and an investiga-
tion was begun.
According to Captain of Detectives
Edeburn of Pittsburg, Williams said
at first that the jewelry represented
by the pawn tickets belonged to his
wife in Chicago. His wife is said to
have denied ever having owned jew
elry of any kind even wedding ring.
williams is then said to have admitted
that he had been in possession of Mrs.
Stokes jewelry, but said that he
bought it from an unnamed man.
Many of the pawn checks we're issued
more than year ago and were out
lawed.

back?" That seems to be the uni
versal query.
President Harding is going to name
another Colored man for Recorder of
Deeds, and he will probably be Will
liam c. Matthews of Boston, Mass.
Mr.. Matthews is regarded as real
leader in the state of Massachusetts,,
and was former assistant district at
torney in the federal office of that
city. There are a number Of candi-
dates, including Robert Nelson, Of
Wilmington, Deleware, editor of the
Wilmington Advocate, a citizen of

eighth ILLINOIS
MAY BE STATIONED
in HAITI REAL soon
(Associated Negro Press)

Chicago. ILL.,, Jan. 13.-One of the
conclusions reached by the senatorial
committee recently returned from in
vestigating conditions in Haiti was
that it will be necessary for the pres
ent to keep an armed force in that
republic.
In view of the excellent service
rendered by the oath Infantry in the
Philippines and the service rendered
by the 25th Infantry in Hawaii, why
would it not be an excellent idea to
send contingent of colored troops
to Haiti?
If the government took this step it
would meet with the hearty approval
and cooperation of the fifteen million
black people of the United States. 1t
would be guarantee to the people of
Haiti that the United States govern
ment meant to do the proper thing by
them.
1t has been suggested that the Sth
Illinois regiment composed entirely of
Colored troopers be given this duty
since that regiment has recently been
federalized.
Another recommendation was made
by the senatorial committee to the
effect that a commission general or
governor be appointed over the island
and that both military and naval
forces be under him. This sugges-
ton has great merit in view of the
mess that the military and naval
forces have made of things on the
island.
Let us suggest that such post
should be given to some Colored man
of standing in the United States.

LOUISIANA SENATOR
WOULD ADOPT new
rule in WASHINGTON
Especial to The Tribune)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 13.-Protest
against the practice of permitting Col
ored people to patronize the House of
Representative restaurant in the cap
itol was made last week by Represen-
tative Aswell, democrat, of Louisi-
ana. The place is a government insti-
tuition located in the capitol.
In letter to Chairman Ireland, re-
publican) of illinois, and democratic
members of the committee which is in
charge of the restaurant manage
ment, Mr.. Aswell stated four Colored
people had been noticed eating in the
restaurant during the past few days
He asked by whose authority they
had been admitted and whether "this
is to be the practice of your commit
tee under the present administra-
ton"
Gentlemen Of the House," AS
wells letter continued, Should have
this information now so they may
know whether to keep their families,
their friends and themselves away"
Aswell also asked assurance that
hereafter the restaurant will be re-
stricted to whites. Colored people
here paid little attention to Aswell's
letter.
Any attempt on the part of the re-
publican administration to prevent
their entering a government institu-
tion supported out of their taxes will,
it is said, only forge another weapon
to be used against the party in the
next election.
