AIMS At MILLION
Greenhaus Tells Judge Small
Investment Is Growing Be-
cause He Was Not a Fool.
LEGALITY Is QUESTIONED
Court Will Rule Monday on Ex-
change of Gold Bonds for
Cheap Stock,
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. July 19.-An invest
ment of s2,500 by Charles H. Green
haus. once a newsboy, may grow to
fortune of s1,250,000 through the
fluctuations of Middle States Oil stock
in the past few months and because
he was not fool" he told Supreme
Court Justice Burr yesterday.
Middle States Oil stock once was
quoted at Il. Now it is at 1.6 on the
exchange, and unsecured. The com
pany also has outstanding gold bonds
paying Z per cent interest, secured.
Greenhaus aroused the legal curl
oSity of the attorney general of the
State when he circulariZed 100000
holders of the stock, offering to ex-
change the bonds for their stock al
premium. The Attorney General.
applied for an injunction to stop the
exchanges, which was contested by
Greenhaus.
Saw Chance for PROFITS.
II just saw the situation" he stat
ed; saw the huge profits that lay in
it. and decided / would be a fool if 1
didn't take advantage of it,
His explanation in court was di-
geSted as follows:
''Some months ago former Gov Has
kell of Oklahoma. chairman of the
board of directors of Middle States
OIL came close to cornering the mar
ket in Southern States Oil, a subsid-
iary of Middle States. The court was
told that he issued orders to 35 brok-
ers to purchase stock for him in the
open market.
Last December the brokers were
ready to deliver $5,500,000 worth Of
the stock, but Mr.. Haskell was not
then in a position to pay cash for it.
Committees of the stock and curb
exchanges arranged compromise
whereby the Metropolitan Trust Com
pany was made custodian of $5,384,-
900 in gold notes. paying z per cent
on the Middle States concern, which
were given the brokers in lieu of
cash.
Brokers Willing to Sell.
Greenhaus said that as this was a
hardship on the brokers he found
them willing to sell the notes at a
considerable discount. He said that
this enabled him to exchange the
notes for stock, dollar for dollar, and
make a profit of 25 per cent, by
dumping the stock back on the
market.
I'm doing good instead of harm.
except to the Middle States Oil peo-
ple," he testified, who have to keep
buying the stock or let the bottom
drop out of it. I'm virtually giving
people cash for their stock, and at
enough of a premium to make the
exchange worth the trouble for them.
1 have already exchanged $4,000
shares for bonds"
The Supreme Court will rule Mon
day On the legality of exchanging

Does Boxing Pay?

PROFESSIONAL boxing has

commission. Does it pay?
The first show drew $50, $685.
Ten per cent of that went to the
Federal Government. Five per
cent went to the State, leaving
$34,791.95.
Pancho Villa got $10,437 for

which is a tidy sum, even for a
champion flyweight.
Five thousand fans were turned

cause they're not getting the

complaints.
It's odd, but some folks act on
the theory that whatever the pub
lie wants is wrong. It isn't so,
and WHATEVER THE PUBLIC

The public is slow to act. It
allows politicians, reformers and
other bright gentlemen to thwart
it for a time, but when the time
really comes, THE PUBLIC

It's All Wrong.

IT'S all wrong, Hortense, that's
what it is. Bucky Harris is
the manager and will continue
to be the manager just as long
as he sports the title, but the
helluvaitis you can't make the
dumbbells believe it. They have
their own ideas, which are
wrong, and just won't change 'em.
And now Bucky Harris has de-
cided George Fisher not ripe for
fest company. Well, he's been
playing in the same lineup with
him. He must be given credit for
hOving a basis for his action.
Certainly no second-guesser in
the stand has half as much rea-
son for whatever he may think
about Fisher, or any other player
on the club, either, for that mat
ter.
Fisher has been given ample
trial this year, no matter what
happened last season. He claimed
not to have been tried by DOME
Bush and there was reason for his
thinking so. But he has had a
fair trial this spring. He is a
sensible young man and very
likely has no kick. If made of
the right stuff, and we think he
is, he'll simply dig in all the
harder with the Millers and come

The point we are attempting
to make in all this is that MAN
AGER HARRIS DECIDED
FISHERS CASE.
Clark Griffith, contrary to the
settled belief Of thousands, did
nothing. He leaves all such mat
tiers up to his manager. 1t was
Bucky Harris who sent Fisher to
right field. 1t was Bucky Harris
who watched him, played beside
him and finally cut him loose.
1t was Bucky Harris who ar
ranged the deal sending Fisher to
Minneapolis and bringing Carl
East to the Washington club. In
other words, Bucky Harris is the
MANAGER. He is filling the
MANAGERS DUTIES.
We have grown fatigued deny
ing assertions that Clark Griffith
is the real manager of the Wash
ington club. We began whole
sale denials, with the appoint
ment of George Mcbride to the
leadership of the club. We're
still denying, and growing weaker
and weaker under the pressure.
Bucky Harris is the MANAGER
OF THE BALL CLUB, and don't
let anybody fill your ears with
anything else.
Harris is only a glorified cap
tain, isn't he?" New York
sports writer asked us down in
Florida this spring, and he looked
as if he really meant it. So we
took him across the room and in
troduced him to the Washington
manager, saying not a word.
"Say, I think you're right about
that, after ALL" he said, closing
his interview. Harris seems to
be the manager, all right, and
one who knows something, too"
We agreed with him and he
went out and wrote a big piece
for his paper. We saw it up in
Macon or Atlanta and, gosh darn
it all, he repeated the same odd
canard that Griffith would be
the real manager of the Wash
ington club, with Harris taking
the blame for any failure.

Salts Fine for
Aching Kidneys
When Back Hurts Flush Your
Kidneys as You Clean
Your Bowels

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get sluggish
and clogged and need a flushing occa-
sionally, else we have backache and dull
misery in the kidney region, severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region begin drinking lots of water.
Also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any good drug store here, take
a tablespoonful in a glass OF water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is intended to flush clogged kid
neys and help stimulate them to activ-
ity. Ii also helps neutralize the acids
in the urine so they no longer irritate,
thus helping to relieve bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia water drink
which everybody should take now and
then to help keep their kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots Of Jad Salts TO folks who be
lieye in trying to correct kidney trouble
while it is only trouble. BY all means
have your physician examine your KID
ueys at least twice a year.
