D. c. RAIL ISSUES
HOLD HIGH FAVOR
W. R. & E. Stocks and Capt.
tai Traction Claim In
VeStors' Attention.
BY CHAS. Il. SHAEFFER-

recent activity of Washington
hallway and Electric per cent pre-
lerred stock, which has carried the
price fractionally above rs and tbs
attainment Of new high level for
the common issue of this company,
1873. is causing considerable discus
sion in local financial circles.
The splurge on the part of this
common shares can undoubtedly b,
attributed in a major degree to spec
ulation, a large majority of thess
purchasers hoping to share in cash
dividend, which some believe will be
disbursed in the event the valuation
suit, which has been pending for
years, is finally decided in favor Of
the company. Should this eYentuate,
1t would release matter of approx
mately $5,o00,00O. now tied up in
contingent reserve.
The advance of the preferred
shares is entirely different. There is
very little element of speculation in
TINS stock, since it is limited to the
dividends of IS a share, irrespective
OF the earnings of the company. The
stock has therefore always been re-
garded as a strictly investment
stock. From this standpoint how
ever, the stock is attractive to the
investor who desires a higher return
than is to be found in a high-grade
bond and who at the same time de-
sireS to lean toward the conserva-
tive side
Capital Traction. which could be
described a S unsteady" of late, shows
signs of returning strength, and this
issue is looked upon to hold its own
from now on-at least until Congress
reconvenes in the fall
These three favorite utilities yield
considerably in excess of their divi-
dend rates. 1t is to be remembered
they are exempt from the District of
Columbia Intangible tax of y of l per
cent, while income derived from
them is free from the normal federal
income tax. which for individuals
with incomes in excess of $4,000 a
year amounts to S per cent.

 That put slightly differnt face on the hijacking industry. The treasure hunters have two well-found vessels, equipped with wireless. Their crews are husky, fearless, two listed men, well armed. If they fear hijackers, then Captain Kidd was hijacker him. self. In the passage of years we have merely found synonym for pirate.
 .That's bunk, isn't it?" I asked my criminal friend. This bird'--I adopt a highly colloquial form in talking with him-"has got his hand on the Klaxon. Wher'd he ever get enough hijackers to take two-armed vessels on the high seas?"
 'That's easy," said my criminal friend. "In New York can get you enough bozoes over there in forty-eight hours to take the Leviathan."
 Perhaps this is a libellous attack on Newark, But he says the real hi- jackers make their headquarters over there. Not that they live in Newark, but they find the over the river town convenient for business. Those who want to hire little murdering sim ply take the ferry or the tube.

 IN SILVA TRIAL
Witness Will Attempt To Disprove Hotel Regis
 ter Alibi

Forts court on charges of grand larceny and bur glary in connection with the robbery of the Hill Grocery company on May IA, 1924, will be .L., Schulhoeser of Birming- ham, one of the most noted handwrit- ing experts in the United States, 1t was announced Sunday by Assistant So- licitors Jolin Mccoy and Jim E. Long, . who are prosecuting the case. MT. Schulhoeser will take the stand Monday morning.
 MT. Schulhoeser's testimony is ex- pected to disprove Silva's alibi that, on the night in question, Silva was regis tered at the Marion hotel in Atlanta. MT. Schulhoeser, after being qualified as an expert on Handwriting and being fully familiar with chemical analysis of inks, paper, etc., is expected to testify that the signature on the hotel register sheet is a forgery. e
 Other Witnesses <
 Several other witnesses are due to be called Monday morning in addition to Mrs. Jean Pheatt, who is again to testify. Last Saturday morning, Mrs. ]. Pheatt testified as to conversations with Silva during his previous hearing on the same charges, which resulted in mis- trial. During this trial, Mrs. Pheatt stated that Silva told her that he could have been identified by Officer Crane and that the police ran like rabbits when he (Silva) shot.
 Mrs. Pheatt also testified that the name "Ivanhoe Silva" on the May IA, 1923, register sheet of the Marion hotel in Atlanta, was foregry.

BOARD DEFENDS
 COTTON REPORTS
Deny Cotton Price Fluctuations
 Are Caused By Forecasters
lRy Associated Press ]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Replying to criticism of the semi-monthly cotton reports of the department of agricul- ture, the federal crop reporting board declared today in a statement that the reports tend to reduce rather than accentuate market fluctuations.
 The board declared that regardless of contentious to the contrary, the range of cotton prices during the past four months between the daily high and low quota tions has not been nearly as wide this year as last year.
 ''To attribute the fluctuations in the cotton market during the present sea son to the semi-monthly cotton re- ports," the board continued, lis to over look many other factors which have had an important influence on cotton prices, such as the short carry-over, the unsatisfactory condition of the cotton drygoods trade, the spinning industry as well as the general economic situa- tion in the world"

 Poppie Day -t
 Armistice Day morning will be Pop pie Day in Birmingham, according to an announcement by Arthur Greenwood commander of Birmingham Post No. ] of the American Legion.
 This year, poppies will have spe. cial significance to the American peo. pie, MT. Greenwood said, inasmuch as they are the symbol of the sacrifices made by the nations sons. Men lying on their death beds in the government hospitals in America and France dur ing the past year have patiently made the poppies in memory of their com. rades, who lie under their red blanket in Flanders field.
 Aid Veterans
 Poppie day should not be considered tag day as the Community Chest would have it, Mir. Greenwood says. Good American people should look on it as a day of privilege when they can help a little those who have made the sacrifice.
 Each year more soldiers are sue cumbing to their old wounds and have to go to the government hospitals. There they face death, with nothing to occupy their time but the poppies and toys they are able to make. These men should not be classed with our chari- ties, Commander Greenwood says.
