RumOr Proposals
Are Made for Stutz
Merger With Studio

Negotiations are under way which
Motor Car Company of America with
the Studebaker Corporation, if salts
factory terms can be agreed upon, &C
cording to reports in the financial
district yesterday. Confirmation of
the reports could not be obtained in
local circles.
The Stutz Motor Company some
time ago announced it's intention to
place a new six-cylinder car of lighter
weight than the present Stutz on the
market next spring, and it is said that
the Studebaker Company is anxious
to get control of the company in order
to populariZe this new car.
When the controlling stock of the
Stautz Motor Car Company was sold
by the Guaranty Trust Company, fol-
lowing the petition in bankruptcy
filed by Allan A. Ryan, who formerly
owned the Stutz Company, no official
announcement was made as to who
purchased the large block of stock
which was sold by the trust company.
The name of one prominent man in
Wall Street, however, was frequently
mentioned in connection with the
sale, but this individual has never ad-
mitted that he had taken over the
stock. This man incidentally is also
heavily interested in Studebaker, al
though not in an official capacity.

Directors OF the Pan-American Pc
troleum and Transpost Company yes
terday declared another stock divi-
dend of 20 per cent. on both classes
of common stock, this being the sec
ond stock dividend declared by the
company this year. A stock dividend
of 25 per cent, was declared last
October. Edward l. Doheny, Chair
man of the Board of Directors, also
announced the Board OF Directors of
the Mexican Petroleum Company in
creased the quarterly dividend on the
common stock from SO to 81 4
share, placing it on SIG annual
basis, as compared with previous
rate of SIP share.
Pan-American Petroleum, Mr.. Doh
eny said, will continue to pay the So
a share annually on obth classes of
common stock This will increase
the stockholders cash dividends by
SO 1-3 per cent. These two stock
dividends give shareholders so per
cent, more stock than was held on
Oct. last,
Mr.. Doheny said the Pan-American
properties reported gross earnings
of SS,000,000 during November, $125,-
900 in excess of the average monthly
earnings reported in the first ten
months of the current year. Deem
Der earnings are expected to be lar
ger than those reported for last
month. The surplus of the various
companies is $34.000,000, with 100000
600 in cash. This surplus will be
reduced TO $12,000,000 as a result
of the stock dividends.
1t was intimated that the divi-
dend payments are justified by the
company's large surplus and its ex-
tensive interest in the stock of the
Mexican Petroleum of which approx
mately "a per cent is held in the
treasury of the Pan-American Com
pany as a reuslt of its original hold
ings and the rest exchanges of stock.
The 20 per cent. stock dividend
of the Pan American will be be pay
able in Glass B common stock and
will be distributed on Feb. .c
of record Dec. 90. This
dividend will call for the issuance of
approximately $4,000 additional
shares and will increase the com
pany's common stock issues to slight
ly more than 100000 shares. The
quarterly dividend of 81 a share on
Mexican Petroleum company common
is payable Jan. 90 to stock holders
Of record Dec. 90. Regular dividends
also were declared on the preferred
stocks of both the companies.

Illegible Romance

The Bureau of Printing and En-
craving recalls SIS bill for macera-
tion after it has been on its rounds
for ten months. This, of course. is
elapsed time. Some of the bills do
not come home to Uncle Sam for
scores OF years, having been tucked
away In stockings and under bricks
and in safety deposit boxes, leading
conservative and inactive lives.
But when a bill buffets the stress
and stormsof business for ten months
1T begins to fray about the edges
and to display a distressing ten
dency to come apart when seized too
avidiy ON pay day. So Uncle Sam
gathers it in, makes sure that it is
DESTROYED AID issues new one in
its stead.
IL seems q pity that all the ro-
nance that is written ON each bill
during it's ten months of righteous
and unrighteous living cannot be
read and recorded for the purposes

Of literary narrative. Tor each in
its time plays many parts. It buys
happiness and is given in exchange
for misery. One day it reimburses
10 bootlegger for half pint OF

penses a New York highwayman for
his acumen In selecting che boot
logger as q victim. At election time
it may pay for the printing Of a
noble and inspiring sentiment, or be
slipped into the pocket of a man
who voted in primary at the solicit
tation Of a ward heeler. But with
all the thumbprints on it's worn
surface and all the wrinkles on its
face it teaches the world nothing of
It's history. Going it's way for the
most part openly, it is still as se-
cret in it's progress as the deepest
burrowing worm beneath the soil Of
the garden.

Whatever Is Is Wrong

The sad plight of America has
once 1nadre been graphically por-
trayed by the great American Jere-
nliah, H. L. Mencken. Like others
of the famous thirty, WHO looked
upon America and found It lamen-
table, he has shaken the polluted
dust Of this country from his feet
and has Jared forth into foreign
lands in search of soul satisfaction,
loudly proclaiming the evils of
America.
"America is rotten with money"
says the prophet as he sets foot on
English soil. "America is drunk
with the power of money" Who has
ears to hear, let him hear! "The
sense of law is disappearing from
American life," he walls; "New
York is besotted with alcohol" Who
hath money to buy, let him buy!
"More obscene books are appearing
in America than in any other coun-
try" Mr., Sumner, please take
heart! STRIKERS ride around in
automobiles. You can't tell which
are the strikers wives and which
are the Follies girls" Was ever
such an evil known before? "The
common workman lives on a scale
beyond the normal imagination. !"
Socialist papers, please disputed
These, apparently, are some Of
the great mans bon mots. How
much more he said in this same in
terview has not been cabled to us,
but if this is merely start his fell
lows may take heart that the truth
about America is finally being
spread abroad.
The effect Of dyspepsia upon a
point of view has long been recog-
nized, but it has not heen SO gener-
ally known that an ocean voyage
can make dyspeptic's sour state
ments seem sweet when compared to
his present bitterness. 1t must in
deed be relief to Mencken's Ger
man soul at last to be away from
this odious land Of ours,

Not q Party Issue

The Tribune is Republican
newspaper. 1t has always believed
in the Republican party and ener-
getically upheld party principles.
1t has at the same time held that
the judiciary should be free from
political influence. The reasons for
this belief ought to be obvious to
every intelligent and right~minded
citizen.
When leader-or little group
of leaders attempts to commit the
party to raid on the bench it is
time that the voters in both parties
asserted themselves.
Surrogate Cehalan, after giving
excellent service in a highly impor-
tant Office, was turned down for
denomination by his own party at
the behest of Charles f. Murphy,
The Republicans, following Muir
phys extremely bad example, also
refused him a denomination.
Judge Cohalan has decided to run
Independently, making the indepen-
dence Of the judiciary his issue. He
has announced this decision in let
ter to the non-partisan committee of
lawyers, composed of practically all
hesleading members of the bar, in
Guiding the Bar Association and the
County Lawyers Association. Both
these organizations had requested
the two county leaders to designate
Mr.. Cohalan for denomination.
Here is an issue bigger than
party. People who believe that the
judiciary should be absolutely free
from politics and that its members
should neither give nor owe any all
legiance to party bosses or party
leaders will support Judge Cohalan
for reelection.
Continuing him on the bench
where he has served so ably will
constitute a rebuke to the party
bosses of New York County. 1t will
be highly needful measure of dis
cipline.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We would appreciate aid Ia
making better known the fact that Il
was Sir William Johnson, in the Mo-
hawk Valley, who was called upon By
the British Ministry largely to create
and execute the Colonial policy that
allied the Six Nations 60 the crown,
acquired Canada from the French and
negotiated, in 176s, at Fort Stanwix
tnow Rome, N. ", the treaty with sAe
Indians that acquired the millions Of
acres of land between the Allegheny
Mountains and the Mississippi Rfvsrs
These policies of empire were not con-
eeived or executed from Massaehusesss
or Yirginia, but were conceived In the
Province of New York by donalaaus
man in dominating valley.
Had Sir William Johnson lived y
might have been his lot to have been
commander In chief Of che AmssiesA
forces. This honor fell to that othes
great land owner George Washingsoas'

Icnly two years after Monroe's dec
Ilaration the then infant nation Of
Brazil proposed an alliance with the
United States against European
intervention.
In recent years the United States
has absorbed a constantly increasing
share Of Rraxil's trade. In imports
and exports alike America now
takes first place and accounts for
nearly half of each. This factor
alone has created many ties between
the countries and lends addi~
tional Importance to Americas
representation at the centennial ex-
position, which, like so many other
such affairs, is largely commercial
In nature, even though sentimental
in origin.
The value OF official visits of
courtesy such as this is particularly
great in South America. Prestige
and formality count for much In
the relations of the southern ma
tions with the rest Of the world.
Mr.. Hughes, not only as Secretary
Of State of the United States but
as the moving power in the Wash
ington conference, is therefore
messenger of friendship who will be
particularly welcome in Brazil. His
trip will advance the cause Of pan
American cooperation.

A Briton on Prohibition

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In this country increasing In
terest is being taken in the great
question Of prohibition,
History teaches us that the nan
alcoholic nations are the decadent ones
--as shown by China and Turkey.
physlology teaches as that good quail.
ties Of alcohol, real wines, spirits and

No Votes il, Them

The theory on which the bonus
bill was passed by the House of
Representatives was that there
were votes in it. Representatives
counted on it to help them win re-
nomination in the primaries. So did
Senator's. But the primaries ex-
pioded that theory. Conspicuous
bonus advocates like Mr.. McCumber
were defeated. Conspicuous bonus
opponents like Senator Pepper were
successful. Mr.. Pepper beat a
strong pro-bonus rival-Representa-
tive Burke.
1t is becoming manifest that the
bonus is of no mere value for cleo
tion purposes than it was for pri-
mary purposes. The Ohio Republi-
can platform has not word to say
about the bonus-or about the House
and Senate tariff bills, for that mat
ter. The strength of the Republican
appeal to the voters lies in The
achievements of the Harding Ad-
ministration in the field Of foreign
relations and in reducing Federal
expenditure. The bonus is not an
asset; it is a liability. So are the
twin tariff monstrosities fathered
by Mr.. Fordney and Mr.. McCumber.
The Ohio platform was written by
men not subject to the illusions
which led Congress so far astray in
it's pursuit of political support
which there is no hope of realizing
at the polls.

When Feller Needs a Friend


10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; To-day | watched a number of
urchins enjoying themselves in the
pool in Bowling Green Park. The kids
were very happy and urging the
watchers to "Throw in nickel. boss
A Gordon of police was suddenly thrown
around the fountain and the kids were
chased. Imagine how ludicrous it was
to see stalwart policeman running
down little chap of FIVE or six years.
When the little fellows had dressed
themselves they were taken by the
cops, one in each arm. The policemen
must have had feeling of righteous
ness in rushing these tots to the DO
lice station. The kids will come back
after their experience and find them
selves probably the envy Of the other
boys in their neighborhood and will
get mistaken idea of life, and will
perhaps do something again to get ar
rested.
If the Police Department were az
ambitious in important matters as in
this trivial affair things might be diff
ferent. HI NJ

One Soldiers Compensation

AS oSAoACi compensation
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial THE Pension
Bogey" you state that "The second
provision was in the form of compensa-
ton for injury or death during the war
This varied from sac to 500 month
in accordance with the nature Of the
injury, or from $40 to SIS in case OF
DEATH"
! was in the service, and was in.
jured while in active service at the
front. After waiting six or seven
months was awarded compensation o.
So per month. Then bill was passs]
fixing the maximum at s1o0 per month
and my compensation was raised to SIC
per month. But I never got $40 pei
month.
In case Of death while in the service
compensation is $50, with an allowance
for each dependent child under eigh.
teen years, Even with family of nine
dependent children doubt if as much
as SIS per month was awarded to any
one. CART. n vEDnEp

MIR. Hughes Goes to Brazil

That Mr.. Hughes himself heads
the American delegation to the CEN
tennial exposition in Brazil is a
token Of the Importance which our
government attaches to its relations
with that country. The American
Secretary OF State does not often
head such delegations, and while
in recent times two other Secre-
taries, Messrs. Root and Colby,
have made official tours Of the
southern continent, these have been
all-embracing and obviously in the
interest of our relations with all
Of Latin America.
In the present instance Mr..
Hughes's visit is meant as a special
compliment TO the Brazilians. 1t is
In part a return for the courtesies
shown the United States by Brazil
during our centenniale exposition
in lS76, at which time Dom Pedro.
Emperor Of Brazil, himself headed
the Brazilian delegation and did
much to bring about closer under
standing between the countries
Since that time Brazil hes changed
from an empire to a republic mod
eled closely on our own form OF
government, and its relations with
this country have been drawn even
closer.
Brazil, enormous iii territory and
constantly growing in population.
has never shared the strong anti
American feeling fronstin,e to time
common in other southern nations.
She was among the first to realize
that the Monroe Doctrine was nor
meant as a one-sided weapon. but
was the expression Of a policy
toward Europe which was in the in
terest of all America. In fact.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY James ]. Montague
/. The Boy

The Boy
He doesn't know what flowers
spring
Beside the leafy lane;
The modest violet is a thing
He views with mild disdain;
A primrose by the rivers brim
He tramps beneath his heel
It's fragile loveliness to him
Has not the least appeal.
But sitting on the pasture bars
And swinging idle feet.
He'll spot the make of all the
That pass along the street.
He does not heed the robins
note
Or seek to find its nest.
No useful time would he devote
To such a childish quest.
He doesn't think what wondrous
words
They chirp from tree to tree
The little things are only birds
As far as he can see.
But it will set his eyes a-dance
To hear motor whizz,
And he will tell you at a glance
Exactly what it is.
The barefoot boy, with cheeks of
tan,
Of Mr.. Whittier's lays
When six or eight years old
began
TO study natures ways.
He knew the songsters overhead
And spent his leisure hours
Among the fields with eager tread
Collecting fragrant flowers.
But # he were alive to-day
He'd loll upon the bars,
His shining eyes fixed far away
To spot the motor cars,

Oddments and Remainders

TTS HIS is the time of year wher
the dramas are most Hospitality
~ received by the first-night au-
diences, since the attendance is
composed, TO large extent, of idle
actors bent on amity t@ their fellow
players. No brotherhood, / suppose
is warmer clan than that Of the
stage. There, indeed, is friendship on
Its kindliest heights. In the communion
Of the theater base envy seldom, if
ever, withers at another's joy. The
actors often are fraternal, like the
managers, and in the applause on first
nights the ardor of their affections is
notable. At times their benevolence Is
diaconcertive to those of chillier oc-
cupation, as when prolonged enthu-
siasm greets the minor maids and but
lers in their comings and goings, skill
full or otherwise. Again, it is frequent
ly suspected that their eager cordial
tiles are a disservice, for there are
occasions when they mislead. The
other night l heard the performance of
Mr.. Shipman's Goods Errant" speciously
commended by the hand-clapping of the
visiting artists. and as thoroughly de-
.nounced in their conversation between
the acts. A New York premiere, there
fore, may lose some of its value as
advice to the players. The honeyed
judgments of those present are less de-
pendable than the tart verdicts of the
dog-towns where playgoers know play
actors only by hearsay.
If you went to the Little Theater
Thursday night you must have thought
how lovely fault is this habit of
pretty homage from one actor to an
other. Miss Tempest had come 17.o0o
miles, think she said, to be with us in
"A serpent's Tooth; and the outbursts
OF New York gladness because she had
done so must have made her journey
worth the, while. The people of the
theater do these things better than the
people OF the opera. At least / recall
an incident wherein renowned prima
donna hotly applauded the advent of a
famous Italian hasso, but did SO with
her back to the stage. And another
time when the same songbird, throw
ing brooch from her box to sister
