Senator WatsOn's Position Stated.
Senator Watson, Republican, Indi-

the resolution which seemed to war

THOMAS ". LAWSON, CELEBRATED
STOCK PLUNGER, DEAD in BOSTON
Spectacular Ways Made
Copper King Famous
Generation Ago.
Craze Beside Wife Is Pre-
pared on Holdings Sared
From Fortunes.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, February 9.-Thomas W.
Lawson, spectacular financier, author
and gentleman farmer, will be buried
| tomorrow beside his wife on a small
portion of his magnificent country
estate that was saved from the
wreck of his fortune several years
ago.
When Mrs. Lawson died in 1906,
after nine years Of invalidism,. her
husband gave orders that nothing
occupied at "the Nest" a simple cot
tage adjoining the mansion of
Dreamwold, at Egypt, Mass. Mrs.
Lawson was buried near "the Nest"
Tom" Lawson will be laid beside her
after funeral services in the Nest"
Sick Since 1872.
Mr.. Lawson had been suffering from
diabetes since undergoing financial
reverses in 1922 He died suddenly
early yesterday in a hospital here.
Thomas w Lawson, financier, author
and sportsman, opened the way to his
spectacular career by running away
from school in Cambridge, Mass, to
work In a financial house in Boston
as an office boy His employers found
him SO promising that they persuaded
his mother to let him stay. This was
in 1869.
Five years later, at the age Of II,
Tom Lawson was worth $4,000, made
from a pool he had organized the
year before to buy railroad stock.
OF this sum he promptly lost s5s,s4l
in another stock deal. Reduced to
s15s, he gave a dinner to friends at
a Boston hotel, and when the bill was
paid found himself with $3.50.
From the boy who in his tennis
could make a small fortune and lose
it developed the man who tumbled
money markets, &ho was a million
aire one day and fiat" the next, who
paid $4,000 for a carnation and who,
in a temper, junked a 100000 yacht
built to defend the Americas cup.
Deals In Copper.
Tom Lawson's identity with copper
began when he was a young man. He
knew nothing of the mineral, but
when the Butte and Boston mine
opened he took tip from a news
paper friend, and began buying at 16.
Then he sold the stock short and
Whitfield the market down to rs cents,
taking up thousands of shares be-
tween that figure and So. In this man
ner he obtained a majority Of the
stock and saw 1t bring far more than
his predictions of $50 share.
This was the beginning of deals that
ultimately won him the title Of Cop
per King" and which preceded the op-
erations that led to the famous Anal
gamated Copper transactions.
Lawson later became famous for
his "broadside" advertisements of ad-
vice and warning published stimuli
taneously in large newspapers the
country over.

with German reparation receipts. But
under the Democratic as we'll as Re-

States stood obdurate
The Dawes plan has for the time
being settled the reparation problem
and left unsolved the interallied debt
question. upon which some clumsy
attempts at settlement have been
made without result
France awakened some resentment
In England about the same time that
the press began a discussion of al
legged plans on the part of the Her
riot government for refunding of
the French debt to America. The
British insisted that if the United
States gave any better terms to
France than were given to England
there ought to be revision of the
British agreement with America.
Also that the French ought to begin
simultaneously to arrange for pay
ment to England.
So far as America is concerned, the
authorities here look with favor on
the French discussions with Great
Britain, for such a procedure might
mean a way out of Washingtons pos
sible embarrassments with Britain.

Great Britain there can be no con-
sistent argument by the British if

The French, on the other hand, will

agreement with the British a prece-

so can America. For this reason off,

and said I'd take It, I put 1t in
my buttonhole and walked out. The
next day 1t withered like all pinks,
but the glory of 1t went around the
world. I got at least 100000 worth

~ HESE low prices are not for new cars built
i to sell at new prices.
They are for Studebaker cars identical with those
which have been in tremendous demand at higher
prices during the past eleven months
They are for Studebaker SO well built OF
such high quality materials that net profits during
the past six months have averaged only $l4O.o4
per car The rest of the money the public paid US
went into making car with scores OF thousands OF
miles of excess transportation
These earnings are triumph for the one-prohe
basis of manufacture No manufacturer on less
efficient basis could have made dollar selling cars
of Studebaker quality at Studebaker prices.
Studebaker is the only onebroft in the fine cav
field Only Ford and St1debdker make tor all their
cars all bodies, all engines, all sets, clutches,
SPRINGS derentidls, axes steering gears gray iron
castings and drop forgings.
Thus we save and pass on to purchasers prohts
which many other manufacturers must pay to out
side parts and body makers
No "yearly models" makes sales jump
Thus we were able last January to reduce prices
already low.
Then we announced that Studebaker would have
no more yearly models" to artihcially depreciate
cars in the hands OF owners.
Sales instantly started to soar and have forced
the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak pro-
duction throughout the summer in the face OF
declining production for the industry in general
To profit savings thus add savings due
to long continued peak production These savings
we share with customers in the price reduction

We still: use genuine leather, mohair upholstery,
