STEVENS EXPLAINS
 ELECTION PROJECT
Willing to Withdraw Bill ii
 Berlin Public DiSapproVS
BELIEVES IT WORTH WHILE
Town Nurse Gives Complete Repors of Duties Since Starting Work Here-League of Women Voters to Support July Bill-Church News and Others Items.

Claude W. Stevens, representative to the state legislature from this place, in explaining the bill for bi- annual elections for Berlin. said to- day that the bill was introduced only to ascertain sentiment rather than a definite move fo' the action. He fur ther stated that if public opinion supported the bill he would be glad to push the movement whereas if op- position overweighed the approval Of the idea he would be glad to with draw the bill.
 In explaining the merits of the proposed bill which would give Der lin it's town elections once every two years instead of once year. Repre- sentative Stevens stated that the bill. if accepted would result in savings in the matter of election expenses which run to about S200 year, ac- cording to Town Clerk Arthur l.. Woodruff. Further he averred that interest in elections on the same year as the state elections had Jagged lately and that two year election would doubtlessly be more effective in bringing out the vote.
 Other towns including East Hamp- ton and Sprague gre considering the same move, according to Mr. Stevens. Portland has been under the two year regime for several years and has found it satisfactory, the repre- sentative said.
 Numerous complicated details must be worked out. Stevens stated. One of the problems which would receive attention before the bill is passed, if found favorable in the eyes of the voting public. would be the question of the three year offices on the assessors board and the board of relief. It is not definitely known what action would take care of these positions but MT. Stevens is conf- dent that if the two year question appealed to local residents, intricate details could be taken care of.
 The representative wants it under stood that the annual town meeting would be held as usual and the re- oprts of the finance board and the town officials would be given yearly as they are at present. If the bill is accepted with enthusiasm by the town, the regular elections would take place this fall with the three years positions which would be vot- cd on having a member who would not take office until 1928.
 As yesterday was the last day for the introduction of bills in the gen. oral assembly, Representative Stew ems introduced the bill as complete surprise to this place, in order to gat the motion before the body in time to have it assigned to the com- mittee on cities and boroughs.
 Representative Stevens said today that he had conferred with several town officials and other citizens of the town and had heard considerable favorable comment on the motion. Opposition is expected to the bill and some argument is probably forthcoming before it comes before the house for a vote.

 The letter, which appeared in the medical journal, the Lancet, says the streptococcus was obtained from a nasal discharge and blood of one of the brothers while he was suffer. ing from influenza. They were seeking, expecting to find, "bacte- rum pneumosintes, discovered by Drs. Olitsky and Gates of the Rockefeller Institute, which sup posedly but unprovedly, is the cause of the disease.

.OLD FRENCH DEBT
 AGAINST ENGLAND
 FABULOUS AMOUNT
IF DEPT WERE PAID EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD WOULD
 RECEIVE MILLIONS

PARIS, Feb. 17. P-France has dug another war debt out Of dusty history. If this century old bill due from the English, were to be paid, it is calculated the amount, con- pounded, would provide fortune Of about 100000 francs for every man, woman and child in the heroic city of Verdun.
 One periodical suggests the collec- tion of the debt ought to be pressed and used as an offset against what Britain claims from France for the loans of the last war.
 \ The new debt, or rather the old one, dates back to the Napoleonic wars. Several hundred British were interned in Verdun during those trou blous days from 1903 to 1914. Tho prisoners were of the upper classes and entertained lavishly. Their cred it was good and after they were gone the French authorities discovered the debts they neglected to settle amounted to 183,534,S74 francs. Math- ematicians have computed that con- pound interest would run this up to the hundred million mark for every inhabitant of Verdun, counting the debt in gold and it's value today in paper money.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 20.-The
annual dividend rate OIL the common
and class B stocks of the Pan.Ameri-
can Petroleum & Transport Co. was
reduced from Sc to 81 a share today
when directors declared a. quarterly
dividend of 81 share on each of the

A cash distribution Of SIS a share
also was declared by the Mexican
Petroleum Co., Ltd, on the common
stock, out of surplus, in addition to-
the regular quarterly dividends of SO
on the common and 81 on the prefer
red, payable October 20. About 98.4
per cent of the common and prefer.
red stocks Of Mexican Petroleum is
owned by Pan-American Petroleum
& Transport. The payment to the
public out of the SIS distribution only
amounts to about $585,000. The
amount accruing to Pan-American
Petroleum already has been taken up
in the intercompany accounts.
Mexican Petroleum's payment of SIS
cash on it's common stock would in
volve $34,297 500, of which $33,712, 500
would be payable to Pan-American Pc
troleum & Transport.

FURTHER RECOVERY
IN STOCK MARKET
Pullman, Bulls Favorite, at
New Top Price-RaiIs
Irregular.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

|
NEW YORK. September 2o.-To
days stock market was strongly in
fluenced by the remarkable demon
stration of recuperative power dis
played in the recovery late yesterday
| When such a drastic break as that
of yesterday fails to bring out impor.
| tant liquidation, the argument In
| favor of underlying strength in the
| position is apparently unassailable.
So it was not surprising that open.
ing quotations today were practically
all at substantially higher figures
take in their contracts, and those still
short of the market made haste to
| take in their contracts. and those still
committed to the advance entered
their buying orders, but of the two
the first named was the larger ele-
ment. That this was the case was
proved by the hesitation which fol-
lowed the initial recovery. Once the
demand from belated shorts had been
satisfied. prices eased off, although not
losing all of their gains.
Bulls Change Tactics.
To a large extent spectators for
the rise changed their tactics. Not
so much was made of the equities
behind industrial stocks as justifying
bidding up in such issues as General
Electric or Woolworth for instance.
Stocks in this group did little and
some of them were lower. There was
disposition to admit that prices had
been put up too high in many cases,
but on the other hand it was insisted
that there were plenty of stocks which
had not had their fair share of atten-
ton. Pullman, the new stock, above
80, and at the highest since issue,
was one Of the days favorites.
All the coppers were strong, but
this group has only recently been
taken up and there had been no ex-
travagant operations therein. Magma
and Greene Cananea were the lead
ers today, but Kennecott was not
far behind. Sulphur stocks were in
demand, with Texas Gulf Sulphur at
the highest for the present shares.
More significant was the strength in
the packing stocks. At one time
Cudahy was selling at price that
showed an advance of four points in
two days.
Steel and Motors IncOnspicuous.
Steel and General Motors, while
higher, were not so CONSPICUOUS.
Steel ran up a point or so early
in the day, but then wavered. Cen
eral Motors acted similarly Com
mercial Solvents jumped nearly five
points and A. M. Byers over four,
movements reminiscent of past per-
formances. New buying appeared i'm
International Mercantile Marine pre-
ferred, carrying that stock up over
two points.
