MAYOR CRESS AT SHOP
AGAIN AFTER OPERATION

Mayor L. w. Cress was down at his
tailor shop yesterday for the first
time since DIR. Charles Ploussard di-
vorced him from his appendix. He
hadn't lost the tan he carried into the
hospital and says that while he didn't
enjoy the experience he would go
through it again if he should later
grow another appendix and it gets too
frisky.

TRUMBULL STEEL
AUDIT DEMANDED
Bond Issue Proceeds of
Company Withheld Pending
Merger Plan Outcome.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, September An
nouncement was made last night by
John A. Elden, Cleveland attorney,
that hes would file suit in Trumbull
County, Ohio to compel an audit OF
the books of the Trumbull Steel
Co. of Warren Ohio. Mr.. Elden
states he is owner of 100 shares of
the common stock of the company
and although he has tried TO learn
the financial condition of the company
he has not been able to do so.
A proposed merger of the Otis Steel
Co, Cleveland; the Midland Steel
Products Co, Cleveland, and the
Trumbun Steel Co. was recently an
nounced.
Stockholders of the Trumbull Steel
Co. will meet at Warren tomor-
row to approve appointment of spe-
cial committee headed by James A.
Campbell, president of the Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Co., to
control the company's affairs.
Bond Proceeds Withheld.
NEW YORK, September l P).-
The New York Times says that the
fight that has developed over plans
for a $40, 700, 900 merger of the Trum-
bull Steel Co., the Otis Steel Co. and
the Midland Steel Products Co. has
holding the proceeds of SIT, 500, 900
bond issue of the Trumbull Co.. ac
cording to an announcement made by
H. ]. kulas, president of Otis and
Midland.
Conflicting reports regarding the
status of the merger plans were re-
ceived in Wall Street yesterday. 1t was
announced that j. A. Campbell, presi-
rent of the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Co. would head a committee to
operate the Trumbull properties.
No information was obtainable at
the offices of the ational City Co. yes
terday concerning the status of the
Trumbull bond issue. There was dis
cord at the time the issue was f1oated
the last week in July when number
of the directors and stockholders of
the Trumbull Co. tried to halt the ne
gotiations of Jonathan Warner, presi-
dent of the company. with officials of
the National City Co.
Personal Pledge Regarded.
The deal was closed. however, both
Mr.. Warner and the bankers assert
ing that the former had full authori-
ty to arrange the SIT 800 900 loan.
One report at the time was that Mr..
Warner had pledged his personal for
tune in behalf of the loan. The issue,
bearing per cent, was offered to the
public at 9712 to yield 6.25 per cent,
the bonds to mature in Is years.
Since then the situation has become
tangled by talk of a merger with Otis
and Midland. According to Mr. Kulas.
the National City Co. was to have paid
the proceeds of the S17, 500, 900 loan to
the Trumbull Co. last Friday, and he
said this had not yet been done. Sci
dom. if ever. according to opinion in
the financial district. has financing
deal of such size been called back by
the bankers.

BOND MARKET PRICES
SLUMP DURING WEEK

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The bond
market proved sad disappointment
during the week. Easing in the
money market which many persons
in the banking world had expected
would give stimulus for further
rise fell absolutely flat as a factor
and the list simply backed and
filled around the levels recorded
IN the previous week of reactionary
sentiment.
Action of the liberty group was
most disheartening. During the
early part Of the week they eased
off in a manner which caused ner-
vousness throughout the investment
world and aroused considerable con-
lecture as to whether or not the
low point of investment yield had
been reached. During the middle
of the week the Governments obli-
cations scored a momentary re-
covery but after a few hours turned
reactionary with the result that an
average loss of about half point
was recorded for the week.

STOCK MARKET PRICES
RISE IN EARLY TRADING

NEW YORK, July Is. With
American Can at 206A and Con-
solidated Gas at 90B, new highs
for the year. the stock market
during early trading today showed
the generally improved buying tone
that has been in evidence during
most of the week. There were a
few declines, however, Chrysler
Motor falling back a point to 1854
and Maxwell Motor "B" declining
one and one-eighth to 1854.
Buying of stocks was stimulated
somewhat by the enthusiasm Of
weekly surveys of mercantile con-
ditions which asserted that reports
from leading cities indicated a
marked increase in confidence re-
earding the outlook for the autumn
trade. Another point made in the
SURVEYS was that trade and industry
are better than at any time last
wear. although some recession from
the high ground reached in the
first quarter Of this year was still
in evidence.
After opening generally hlgher'
with some irre&ularlty IN evidence
during which a few lower prices
as compared with yesterdays close
were noted, the market showed I'M
provement aud practically ak prices
were higher.

New York Cotton

NEW YORK, July 18-The cotton
market was firm at the opening
of trading today, with the first
prices from II to 20 points higher.
July opened at 1885 up 20 points;
October, 24.05. up II points, and De.
cember, 24.17, up II points.
In comparison with the weak
tone displayed late Friday the open
ing today was decidedly firmer, with
gains in most of the active posi-
tions. This advance was based on
strong cables and dry and hot
weather in the southwest.
There was some weekend cover
ing by shorts. New Orleans, spot
and trade houses were among early
buyers. Wall Street and commits
sion house supplied the offerings.
Prices in the second hour are as
follows: July. $3.50, up / October.
$3.50, up 2; and January, $2S.45,
unchanged.

OHIO AUTO|STS
WOULD QUIT
STATE
Secession is Plan of Motorists
Who Are Hard Hit BY
Taxes
By WILLIAM j. HUSKE,
International News Service.

CLEVELAND, July Is. Out
ragged by what they assert to be
the unwarranted interference Of
rural communities with self gov
eminent in cities, the passing along
OF tax burdens upon the under
represented urban dweller, and a
long lst of ills, officials Of the
Cleveland Automobile Club have
gone on record as in favor of the
secession of Cuyahoga County,
which includes Cleveland and a
number of populous suburbs, from
the State of Ohio and the creation
Of a "State Of Cuyahoga"
This action, following that of the
City Council of Chicago, in declar-
ng for similar action there, has
focused the attention of the State
on the problems arising from the
conflicting interests of the city and
country.
In Ohio, at least, these problems
are largely an outgrowth Of the
rapid increase in the number Of
automobiles. with the constantly in
creasing demand from auto own
ers for more and better highways.
Farmers and others owning real
estate in the rural districts insist.
GU LtldL iIIdSiluCIl DIS VI LIIS
cars were cty-owned it was but
right that the city dweller should
pay an ever-increasing burden Of
the cost Of their construction and
maintenance.
The automobile owner was also
the center OF another legislative
attack when a law was passed re-
curing that title to an auto can.
not be conveyed unless the seller
can show that personal property
taxes for the preceding year had
been paid.
The automobile club insisted
that this measure constituted dou-
BILE taxation, as owners of ma
chimes were already paying taxes
in the form OF license fees, with
the new gasoline tax added.
/ 1t appears improbable that the
: secession movement will ever reach
the stage Of actual action. The
City Council has not endorsed It.,
and, according TO many members,
will not do 50.

While she il still unable to give

Mrs. Cookson, who has been in

crumpled shoes and hat were be-
side the car and there were evil
dences OF a fierce struggle.
From her incoherent statements
the authorities believe she was over

her tormentors, who threw her into
a slow-moving motor truck and
started for the Mexican border, $40
miles away. She has not yet been
able to tell how she escaped from

This provision. in effect, eliminates
part of the Avenues ramshackle dis
creditable building environment on the
north side as well as the south and
gives fresh and vigorous impetus to
the project of purchasing at once the
remainder of the Mall-Avenue triangle
for the placement in a park setting
of architecturally impressive Govern
ment buildings. A bill providing the
money for this purpose is to be con
sidered at the beginning OF the next
Congress in December, and in con-
nection with this proposed legislation
the bill authorizing the appropriation
of $50, 100000 for the erection of
needed Government buildings in
Washington, which made some head
way in the last Congress, rounds out
the Pennsylvania avenue improve
ment plan into practical, systematic
and hopeful project. Great things
for Pennsylvania avenue are expected
from the next Congress.
Perfecting the Outer Parks.
Then should follow the perfecting
of the system of outer parks. like
outlined and urged by the Board of
Trade 81 years ago, and which the
Mcmillan Park Commission has so
skillfully, artistically and attractive
ly elaborated in it's report.
The main features of this park
system, which shall utilize and con-
meet existing park areas and create
new ones until both banks of the Poto-
mac and of the Anacostia and of
Rock Creek shall be merged into a
single great park, are % connection
of Potomac Park and the Mall by
Memorial Bridge with Arlington. and
by boulevard along the Virginia
Potomac Heights with Mount Vernon.

whole the public grounds on both
banks of the Potomac; CD connection

Obviously the wise and economical
method of handling the situation was
to condemn the whole triangle at once,
that the public buildings to be placed
in 1t might with their approaches and
greensvard environment be located in
proper relation to one another and to
the Mali on one side and the broad
Avenue on the other. Congress, how
ever, having acquired only a frac-
tion OF the land, attacked the prob
lem piecemeal, increasing by each con-
demnatfon the price to be paid for the
remainder ard constantly strengthen.

Hints OF Rio BrancO and de Mayo.
Adherence to the spirit which ami
mated the forefathers and which.
mas Deen and is so strong in Buenos
aires and Rio today and the expend-
lture OF few million dollars would
solve for all time the problem of pub.
lie building emplacement in Washing
ton' ana would make of PENNSYLVANIA
avenue one of the most magnificent
thoroughrares in the world, worthy to
compare with the Avenida de Mayo.
the Pennsylvania avenue of Buenos
AIRES, and the Avenida Rio Branco,
the pennsylvania avenue of Rio.
Argentina spent millions in tearing
down blocks of houses at one end of
the Avenida de Mayo, merely to make
suitable environment for its new
capitol. Brazil leveled 600 houses and
spent many millions in developing into
harmonious and consistent thor
oughfare Rios Avenida Rio Branco.
With far simpler task to accom-
plish, can we not bring to the solu-
tlon OF our problem a patriotic liber-
ality' and an artistic sense like those
animating the Argentines and the
BraZilians?
Push Vigorously for Success.
The first duty. then, of us Ameri-
cans is to transform from ugliness
into beauty the south side of Pennsyl-
yania avenue, and at the same time
to meet adequately. without encroach.
ment on the public parks, the Gov.
ernment's urgent need of sites for
public buildings.
The law recently enacted authoriz-
ing the building of the Lincoln Me
mortal Bridge and appropriating half
million dollars as a starter on the
project, carried also authorization of
the broadening and extension of B
