Disappointment Noted.

Quotations for the various ma
turities of the old refunding bonds
were little changed from Tuesdays
close. but the Puget Sound As ad-
vanced to parity with the other
bonds which receive the same treat
ment in the reorganization. Much dis
appointment was expressed in Wall
Street over the treatment accorded the
holders of the junior bonds of the
old company. They got new adjust
ment bond on which interest is pay
able only If earned, and not cumula-
tive for five years, while the stock
holders in return for their assessment
get a mortgage bond which is a fixed
charge and which is prior in lien to
the new adjustments. The new as.
sessment bonds were offered on a
whenissued basis today at SIS, but
there we're no sales as far as could be
learned

covery, but suffered q relapse Sat
urday which resulted in his death.
Branting was president of The
labor bureau Of the League Of Ma
tons and was one Of the world g
foremost advocates of peace by IN
ternatiOnal covenants. He was one
of the pioneers in the crusade for
disc and, because of this,
was subjected 10 savage attacks by
adherents of the conservative gov
Nernment and Ernst Trigger, it's
premier.
A brilliant speaker and a man Of
rare political acumen, BraDting
early cast his lot with the Socialist
and Labor party elements in
Sweden and rose to their head,
finally becoming premier.

After Two Days

ROCKVILLE, Md, Feb. "a
Charles F.. Jerome. forty-three years
old, formerly of Washington. who
for several months had conducted
small farm, near Falkland, this
county, for a Mrs. Saffarrans, of
Washington, was found dead on
Sunday in the dwelling on the
place. where he lived alone. There
was a scratch on the face and an
abrasion on one wrist ana. al
though Doctor William 7. Pratt,
county health officer, gave a Ger.
tificate of death from natural
causes, an inquest was held here
yesterday afternoon. The testi-
mony. however. failed to disclose
anything of suspicious nature.
The discovery of the body was
made by Mrs. Saffaprans and some
one living near her Falkland farm.
Not being able to get the farm
house by telephone for two days,
Mrs. Saffarrans went there, and
was unable to gain entrance. She
notified a neighbor and the two
succeeded in forcing their way into
the house. The man had been dead,
it is thought. about two days. He
was unmarried.
Licenses have been issued by the
clerk of the circuit court here for
the marriage of Alexander Laugh
lin Street. twenty-five, and Miss
Fannie Lavenstein, twenty-five,
both of Washington; Harold F. Shat
tuck, twenty.nine, and Miss Eliza
beth Wadsworth, twenty-three, both
of Washington; George p. Berg
mann, twenty-five. and Miss Mabel
N English. twenty-five. both of
Washington: William N. Runkles,
thirty, and Mrs, Marjorie NJ. Davis,
twenty nine, both of Washington.
William T. Smith, of the upper
section of thiss county. has filed
suit in the circuit court here for
an absolute divorce from Mrs. EN-
ma S. Smith, of Washington. on
the ground of desertion. He is rep
resented by Attorney p. Kenneth
Lyddane.
The couple. so the bill sets forth.
were married in this county, on De-
tober. %, 1917, and lived together
in this county and Washington until
May 80, 1921. No children were
born of the marriage.
Something like thousand men
and boys, most of them from
Montgomery county, but not few
from the District of. Columbia and
other places, crowded into DeLasn-
NUTS Hall here last evening To
attend the annual smoker. or He
Night. of the Rockville volunteer
fire department. 1t was the fourth
event of the kind and, like the pre-
ceding ones, was a big success.
