R0CKLAND, MAINE, GIVES
 RECEPTION TO DAVIS
Democratic Nominee, However. Does Not Jinger Long But Starts
 For Hosts Home

Rnckland, Me, July 1a.-John w. Davis, democratic presidential nom iree arrived here early today after an overnight train journey from New York and immediately embarked with Mrs. Davis for the short boat ride to Seven Hundred Acre Island, where he will be a guest for ten days at the home of Charles Dana Gibson.
 Mir, Davis learned from newspaper dispatches before his arrival here of the illness of Mir. Gibson and was Yery much distressed by the news. It is not expected that the illness of the artist will cause any change in his plans for his vacation.
 Wherever the Rockland express stopped during the run from New York crowds gathered to greet the candidate. Several hundred persons were on hand at Bath and MT. Davis spoke to them briefly and then shook hands with a number while the train was being placed aboard a ferry for the trip across the harbor.
 "I thank you very much for coming down so early to welcome me to Maine,' he Salu. nope Io hdNe t"o opportunity to talk to you face to face later during the campaign
 When the train drew into Rockland a crowd of several hundred, includ- ing state party leaders and delegates to tbe New York convention was gath cred to greet the candidate. Mir. and Mrs. Davis stepped down from their car and instantly were surrounded by those eager to grasp their hands and convey a welcome to Maine.
 The police intervened to form the crowd into line to pass before the can d;date and Mrs. Davis. The informal recention was brief as the special car was quickly detached from the train and then transferred down the ferry wharf where the boat was waiting to take the Davis party across Penob- scot Bay to Dark Harbor.

in the open market
 Last December the brokers were ready to deliver. They had purchased stock worth s5,500,O ,O00. which was not denied by Frederick J. Sullivan, who appeared in court for the Middle States concern. Mir. Haskell was not then in a position to pay cash for the stock he had ordered
 Then, it is a matter of record. com mittees of the New York stock and curb markets met and arranged settlement by depositing a controlling interest in Southern States oil in trust with the Metropolitan Trust com pany for s5,SS4.00O in the form of secured gold notes, paying per cent. at regular intervals. on the Middle States concern. These notes were turned over to the brokers in lieu Of cash.
 Nov, this was hardship on many of the brokers" said Green haus. 50 I went to the brokers and found they woS'd be willing to let me have these notes at substantial dis count for cash. I bought some and took options on a. lot more. How It Works Out.
 "Then l circularized every one or the stockholders-2O0, 1000 of them, all over the world-and offered them s1 in gold notes for every Sl they had in stock, at the prevailing mar ket value. My profit would come in not through commission, but because .t.I, I bought the notes at considerable discount. My profit will be between 20 and 25 per cent in addition to"the fact that don't lose on the stock inasmuch as I only dump it right hack on the market.
 "I'm doing good instead ot harln except to the Middle States Oil peo- nle. who have to keep buying m their stock or let the bottom drop out of it.

 Mr. Haskell when asked last night to comment on the claims Of MT. Greenhaus and his counsel, replied that he had dropped out of Middle States oil last fall and wasn't very familiar with the situation as a re- suit.
 T read Grccnhaus' circular,' he said mot very carefully perhaps. be- cause I wasn'I interested. but I couldn't sen anything illegal in it, As far as l can see it's like this: Suppose you have some Bethlehem Steel stock and somebody else has some Crucible Steel and offers to trade you his Crucihle for your' Beth lehem.

 London, July 19.-The committee of the inter-allied conference in charge of sanctions in the event of Germanys default under the Dawes scheme today unanimously agreed to insure investors in the loan to Ger many and priority on all German re- sources in the event of Germany's de- fault.

GOv. BRYAN IN ROW
 IN HIS OWN STATE
Report Is That Democrats There
 Will "Get" Him

Omaha, July GoRsFnar z, W Bryan, of Nebraska, democratic nom me for vice president, has heuome in' ,olAed m a row ln Nebraska and ihs local fight Is becoming so bitter thai 1t Is expected 10 have considerable b, airing on the presidential result m this state,
 A successor 10 Bryan as democratic nominee for Governor must be chosen The choice is 10 be made hy the state central committee at special meet- ing neNt week, There art about twenty candidates and about an equal number are being mentioned" by |their friends,
 Governor Bryan has indicated that four Of the twenty twill be acceptable to hinL An the others. and their friends are indignant, They are ace cusng the vice presidential nominee of interfering in local affairs and say they will "get" him next November.
 Not the least of those offended by Bryan are former Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock and Arthur Mullen. Mullen is democratic national committeeman from Nebraska. None of tho four in- dorsod by Bryan belong 10 the Hitch cock.Mulen faction.
 Indorscs Ibrothcr-in-Law,
 One of the four favored by the governor is Tom Allen. Bryan's brother-in.law. Tho three others are political appointees Of Governor Bryan. One Is J. II. Brady, Of Lin- coin, formerly the governors secre- tary, now judge Of the district court at Lincoln. Another is w. II. Thomp- son, of Grand Island, member of the state supreme court. The fourth one is K. C. Knudson, of Genoa, secretary of the state banking Lureau. Nebraska is normally a republican iate," Governor Bryan said in a statement on the political situation. There is nothing selfish in the choice" he makes it known. II Is all "forsthe people" in an effort to pro- tect evils" The governors state ment vaguely mentions moral stand ards, progressive thoughts and con- trol of corporations, which he asserts animate Allen, Brady, Thompson and Knudson.
 But conversely he injimates that | Mayor J, C. Dahlnan of Omaha, Rep resentative John II. Morehead. twice governor of Nebraska; Dan R. But Ter, Bryan's former opponent for the democratic nomination for governor; John IT. Hopkins. city commissioner of Omaha, and many others are lack ing in the qualities which Bryan de- mands the nominee possess.
 Hopkins Started Gasoline War
 Incidentally, Hopkins is the mar who really started the fight agains high gasoline prices in Nebraska Four months before the governor opened a little gasoline station in th' outskirts of Lincoln. and which ha soldsjust one tank of gasoline down t date. Hopkins was doing land offic business in his Omaha municipal fill ing station, selling gasoline five ant six cents below the prices, charged b other companies in Omaha.
 The governor is going to have hi hands full in placating these 40 can didates after he forces his choice ol the state committee. If the commit tee refuses to follow Bryan's advic' it will be a clear turn down for th
 vice presidential nominee, and if h accepts his advice it will mak enemies of numerous candidates an' their friends.

 LOSES TO NAUGATUCK
Puts Up Game Fight But Comes Out
 On small End Of 16-i5
Score.

In game full Of excitement from beginning to end the Naugatuck High
 School Alumni defeated the local
 Saturday morning, f6-15. The visitors
 were forced to their utmost to repeat
 their victory of earlier in the season
 and displayed sterling brand of
 passwork. The locals were out to re-
 deem themselves and forced the game
 into an overtime period. Although de-
 tcatcd by one point margin the locals
 showed complete reversal of form
 from the last game. A shift was made
 in the lineup which worked very we'll. Nelson replaced Miller at guard and
 was n thorn in the visitors attack.
 lippmann was placed in the pivot po- siiion and gave a good account of
 himself. The locals were trailing by . l0.7 score at the end of the first
 half but at the whistle for the second
 half the score was D all. In tho last
 scrimnage Of the regular session
 Capt Anderson was slightly injured and Miller replaced him in the over time period. So hard and close was Ai' plAN us III lilH ptFlOu that oniN | one point was scored, the ball surging back and forth near the center most i Of the time. Although the locals | showed remarkable improvement in , their floor game and passwork. their | foul shooting caused their downfall ! as was the case last week when they ! lost another overtime game. In this ! weeks game only three out Of sixteen | tries found the dtaperies. The local i guards deserve credit for their de- | fcnse, the Rubber City boys gathering only four goals from the floor. three | of these being dropped thru the cur \ tains in the first half.

do anything at all to prevent this bill from being torn 10 tattcrs by amend-
 ments if it is the desire of the pem- bers of the house. And it will un- doubtedly be the desire of a great number of them.
 The democrats arc lined up solidly for 8 maximum surtay rate of A per cent as proposed by Representa- tive Garner of Texas, ranking minor ity member Of the ways and means committee. The Mellon plan calls for maximum rate Of 2o per cent and on this rate the president and the leaders arc unwaVer- ing. The republican house members. however. are split in a number of ways on the proposition. Some are with the administration 10 the last ditch; many are in favor of agreeing on a compromise between 25 per cent and A per cent, while the group of insurgents led by Representative lfrcar of Wisconsin are opposed 10 any reduction of the present surtaH rate of 50 per cent.
 What rate will finally be adopted by the house is problematical to the highest degree. The democrats. however. have an immense advan- tago, as long as they stick 10 their A per cent in having a solid support which the republicans cannot muster for any proposal.
 When tho bill does finally get be- fore the house, there will be such fight as has not been seen in recent Ii may last for several weeks; but it will eventually be set tied the tax bill passed one way or another, and congress will he prae- tically ready to adjourn, after com pction of whatever appropriation bills remain. It is hoped that the ways and means committee will bring out their tax bill al once, so that the fight may be gotten over with as soon as possible; but even if the bill is not brought until the last possible day, there is little doubt that it will be disposed of in time 10 permit of congress completing it's major work by June-and there will be little energy or inclination left for any thing else.
