General Motors declined an addi-

There were reports of the further
uncovering of stop loss orders, and
the forced selling of stocks in ac-
counts which had not responded to
the calls for margins.
Wall Street was inclined to at
tribute the poor showing in general
business to the unfavorable weather
and the break in cotton prices, for
both of which 1t has a satisfactory
remedy.
The financial district continued
somewhat bearish on the stock mar.
ket, however, the conviction being
strengthened by the ease with
which the professional have been
able to dislodge stocks at falling
prices.
Selling pressure on the high
priced speculative leaders continued
without let.up in the second hour.
The motor stocks continued reac.

motor shares declining to new low
levels. Jordan at Is represented a
decline of 81 points from its high
of 66 reached earlier in the year,
while Hudson, at At, was down

showed better resistance around 145

JOHN MORTON, SINGER

Why the keystone for Pennsyl-
vania? By his service to his country
in a great crisis, John Morton, one
of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, which will be COM
,rstsd by the Sesqui-Centennial
International Exposition in Philadel-
phia, this summer, was inadvertently
responsible for the symbol by which
the state is now known throughout
the land.
He was chairman of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation appointed to consi-
der separation from England. The
vote of the delegation was tie
until he cast the vote which placed
the state on the side of separation,
and it was from this fact that Penn
sylvania became known as the Key
stone State.
John Morton was the grandson of
Morton Mortenson, who migrated to
Delaware County from Sweden in
1854. He received fair education
and acquired some knowledge of law.
He served as speaker of the Assem-
bly, from 1772-75.
Soon after his entrance into polit-
ical life he attended the Stamp Act
Congress in New York. He held the
The Lambertville record., 1926-04-08

position of High Sheriff of the
county, judge in several courts, and
was a member of the Continental
Congress from its inception.
AS to the question of separation
from Great Britain, opinions in the
Province differed greatly and in
1776 its delegation was divided on
the subject. Taking his seat late in
July, Morton showed high and dis
interested courage in voting for the
Declaration, thus committing his
Province to the Revolution, and of
Tending a number of his friends whJ
were Loyalists or-C Conservatives.
He helped to frame the plan Of
confederation, but did not live to see
it adopted, dying of fever at his
birthplace near Philadelphia in April
1777.
Morton was the only man of Swe-
dish birth to sign the Declaration
A memorial to his name will be
erected by Swedish-Americans all
over the United States, for the Ses-
quit Centennial Exposition. The John
Morton Memorial Building will stand
on the banks of the Delaware River
near the United States Navy Yard,
and will be used as headquarters
for Swedish-Americans during the
Exposition.
