NEW YORK, July ga further
reaction in Dodge Brothers A which
sent the issue to newtlow ground at
16A, off IL points. and a display OF
weakness in Hudson together with
strength in General Motors were
among cross currents in the motor
section on the stock market in early
dealings today.
Prices in the general list were
irregular. Rails with dividend rec
ords were firm, oils were irregular
and industrials barely steady.
Selling orders had accumulated
on the announcement late Thursday
of another increase in brokerage
loans. The stock exchange reported
a larger increase for June than had
been expected, while the Federal
reserve statement showing only a
small expansion had little effect.
Federal Bank News
In view of the loan expansion
shown in the stock exchange and
Federal reserve statements, Wall
Street examined the weekly Federal
bank reports with particular inter-
ests, but found the increase in
collateral borrowings was not keep
ing pace with the growth of the
nations bank resources.
Although loans on stocks and
bonds made by member banks in
New York City are $523,000,000
higher than year age the reserve
ratio of the local region bank is
now SO per cent, against 74.6 per
cent year ago, while that of the
entire Federal system is 1853 per
cent, against 1872 per cent last year.
Setbacks Slight
This evidence of strength sup
ported the main body of stocks
against early selling based on loan
increases and as result recessions
in standard stocks were small.
Irregularity resulted from profess
sional attempts around noon to
force a renewed decline. Special
pressure was concentrated on Cen
eral Motors, which was depressed
to new low on the reaction at
1921, off IL. However, the drive
orA General Motors was checked by
urgent demand which sprang up for
other automobile shares.
Hudson developed pronounced
strength, advancing to 1914, up 3as
from Thursdays low. Buying of
Hudson was based on revision of
estimates of the company's earn
ings for the second quarter. It is
now expected that the balance for
the stock may be close to 81 share.
This would bring the showing for
the six months to approximately
$3.50 a share.

Rainbows end may be what George Comstock has discovered in a hard rock proposition not so very far from Kodiak, according to friends of the oldtimer who saw him for a short per iod during the the past week when he was enroute South from the West ard
 Sufficient to say he revisited the To- cation of ledge he viewed many years ago and thinks so highly of it that he is returning next month with an outfit and start in on development work.
 It was at least fl or IS years ago when the well known hard rock miner made his discovery and all through the intervening years 1t has been constant ly uppermost in his mind to come back and investigate the ledge more closely. So since early last month he revisited it and though weather condi- tions somewhat hampered him he saw sufficient to justify going ahead with 1t. He had several fine looking pieces of nickle ore. His ledge, it is stated, measures 42 feet in width.

Announcement was made by the execu-
tive committee of the Anti-Saloon League
in session in Washington last week that
an effort would be made to raise mod
crate sum of money to be used in the
forthcoming political campaign to inform
the people about wet candidates. Wet
Senators and politicians Immediately got
excited They enter vigorous protest
against organized drys expanding money
In political campaigns. No word of pro-
test, however, comes from them over the
millions of dollars raised and spent by the
organized vets in an effort to nullify the
Constitution.
The newspapers made it appear that the
Anti-Saloon League had set out to raise
100000 to defeat wet candidates for Pres
ident. Some reporter has permitted his
imagination to run riot.
No one connected with the Anti-Saloon
League ever suggested raising this amount
of money to defeat wet candidates for the
presidency.

VETS MISREPRESENT LEAGUES APPEAL FOR MORE INCOME
Committee Does Not Defeat Candidates
For President Stated Some Press Reports Asks for Fund
Support All Phases of Leagues Activity

The executive committee of the Anti
Saloon League decided to make an appeal
for $300,000 year for the next two years
for all the work of the League, education,
law enforcement, total abstinence, includ-
ing $4,000 to be raised by the campaign
committee for the two years for political
action, to be raised and expended as pro-
vided in the federal election law. 1t will
be used against wet Democrats and wet
Republicans alike.
The executive committee took action
against the proposal to repeal all li1nita-
ton to prevent the diversion of medicinal
liquor to beverage purposes, and APP
pointed committee to confer with the
legislative committee of the American
Medical Association on what restrictions
are necessary and reasonable. The ma
jority of the doctors are against unlimited
prescription of whisky, which would
mean debauching the profession itself as

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE URGES
LAW OBSERVANCE

Law observance was declared neces-
sary by President Coolidge in his Me-
mortal Day address at Arlington for the
maintenance of Americas institutions and
for the continuance of its influence in
world affairs. Results of the past are
predcated, he said, upon a law-abiding
people, The President warned that I'VE
are always confronted with the inescap-
able conclusion that unless We observe
the law we cannot be free" Continuing,
he said: "We have made our place in tho
world through the Union and the Consti-
tuition. We have fourished as people be-
cause of our success in establishing SELF
government. Unless we are an industrious
orderly nation we can neither minister to
our own requirements nor be an effective
influence for good in the world"
Those who are encouraging law viola
ton by condoning the activities of the
bootleggers, whether by the medium OF
the editorial or public address, and those
who are conspiring with the bootlegger
by purchasing contraband liquor may
well seriously ponder the Presidents
words.

group known as the Temperance Society

Episcopal Church into the wet camp. 1t

is amusing, however, that the wet press

CANADA CHECKS RUM EXPORTS
Require Double Bond in Liquor
Shipments; Notifies u. S. of Car
goes Destined for u. S. Ports

Customs and excise officials of Canada
are more optimistic than they have been
for years about the unceasing war against
the illicit traffic in liquor. The teeth put
in the national revenue act and the power
given them to enforce the act has int-
proved the morale of the whole service.
Under the new system double bond Is
required of exporters. For instance, the
duty on 10000 gallons of liquor consigned
to foreign port is about 100000. This
is doubled, making it 100000, and unless
the exporter brings back landing GER
tihcate he forfeits his 100000 cash bond.
G. w. Taylor commissioner of excise,
in a newspaper interview was asked,
what about fake landing certificates"
To which he replied, 1--WE are not taking
any fake landing certificates. Besides, the
bond must come from a reputable guar
antee company, and they are not going to
lend themselves to that sort of thing
This newspaper story continues:
A few years ago the principle was
ldlu uOWu ny minister OI customs
who did not approve of the Volstead
act, that it was none of Canada's bus
mess to check the destination of 1iq-
uor so long as the excise duties were
paid. This policy has gone by the
board and the Canadian government
insists upon knowing the real and not
the alleged destination of every cargo
of liquor clearing from Canada.
Shipments clearing for the United
States will be noted and the United
States department of customs in
formed in advance. The treaties be-
tween Canada and the United States
will be lived up to. The plea that the
government should refuse clearance
papers to vessels bound for the United
States with cargoes of liquor is held
to be untenable in law. Export trade
is subject to certain regulations by
the federal government, but some of
the Canadian provinces take the at
titude that such action would be an
unjusti6able interference with trade
and commerce. Although the gov
eminent cannot we'll refuse clearance
to 1iquor-laden vessels, it can and
does notify the United States authori-
ties of such clearances

cONGREGATIONALISTS ALERT
National Council in Session in Omaha
Pledges Continued Support to
Dry Program

The national council of congregational
Churches in session at Omaha, Nebr.,
adopted report of the commission on
law enforcement which pledged support
to the Anti-Saloon League in the battle
for enforcement of prohibition "as the
very best plan for gearing church senti-
ment into the machinery of civic activi-
ties" The body also reafirmed conf
dence in Wayne B. Wheeler, attorney for
the League, and declared that one of the
outstanding tasks of the church is to
make permanent moral victory achieved
in the enactment of the Eighteenth
Amendment. The commission suggested
two fields for work. the schools and the
churches.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

announces that the society has been rather
inactive during the past year. but that he
has made careful survey of the country,
that he is persuaded that there is a gem
eral uprising against the prohibition law.
Inactive during the past year" tells only
part of the story. Here is what Rev.
Charles K. Gilbert, executive secretary of
the Social Service Commission of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of New
York and secretary of the diocese, is
quoted in the New York Times as saying
in February 1926
1t is my understanding that the
Church Temperance Society of which
DR.. Empringham is nominally secre-
tary has been practically defunct
since 1918. 1t is not clear to me on
what grounds he speaks even for the
Church Temperance Society. 1t is
difficult to believe that the society has
now twenty thousand members, or
that it ever had that many. And if
QUESTIONABLE were sent to that num-
Der of people it would be important to
know just how many replies were re-
ceived. This DR.. Empringham fails
to state.
House of Bishops Favor Prohibition
Bishop William T. Manning, who again
repudiates the society's plea for beer and
wine, in February, 1926, on the Sunday
following Empringham's first outbreak, in
a sermon in the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine, New York, declared that the So
ciety had no official authorization nor any
right to speak in the name of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church. At that time he
called attention to the resolutions adopted
by the House of Bishops in New Orleans
in October, 1925, supporting the prohibi-
ton law and calling upon members of the
church to obey it. Bishop Manning de-
clared that no action by the convention
since that time had suggested any change
in its sentiment upon the subject. If the
wet newspapers wish to quote the senti-
ment of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
let them quote the action of the House of
Bishops rather than the action of a little
society headed by a man who probably
has never been strongly in favor of pro-
hibition.
Something of DR.. Empringhams atti-
tude on this question may be gained from
the following quotation taken from the
Chicago Tribune under date of February
3, 1926. The Tribune then as now rejoiced
with other wet newspapers in the hope
that the church really had repudiated pro-
