PENSION
PROBE SUGGESTED
Board of Trade Asks Study of
Need for Greater Ap-
preparations.

A recommendation that the Bureau
sof Efficiency make a special study of
the need of increasing the appropria-
ton for the operation of the so-called
mothers pension law, enacted by the
last Congress, was adopted by the
charities committee of the Washing
ton Board of Trade at a meeting late
vestc day in the offices of the board
in The Star Building.
The action of the committee was
taken in response to a request by
Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Bureau
of Efficiency, for suggestions regard
ing the scope of the fact-finding sur
svey of local governmental agencies
now being conducted by the bureau
in continuing the studies by the Glib
son committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
In a general discussion of the work
of the Board of Public Welfare in ap-
plying funds available under the
mothers pension act in aiding needy
mothers to care for their children in
their own homes, Walter s. Ufford de-
iclared the appropriation of $4,000 for
this purpose during the coming fiscal
year would prove inadequate.
Mr.. Urord said it had been esti-
mated SIS, 900 month would be needed
by the Welfare Board for caring for
families which have been carefully
studied and proved to be in need of
financial aid
The committee also called the atten-
tion of the Bureau of Efficiency to
the bills prepared by the Commission
on Public Welfare Legislation calling
for licensing of charitable organiza-
tions, amending the law creating the
Juvenile Court and other measures.
A committee composed of Arthur J.
May, w. S. Pratt, jr., and Gibbs L.
Baker was named to offer aid to the
Bureau of Efficiency in its study of
the local government. Mr.. May,

ST. ALBANS. VT, April 28.-Eighty
one years sailor, and never out Of
sight of land.
This is the record hung up by Capt.
Ell +. Rockwell of st. Adams, who
claims the honor of being the Oldest
active steamboat captain in the world.
Capt. Rockwell recently celebrated his
ninetl-seventh birthday anniversary at
the home of his daughter in st. Adams.
AS the opening of his eighty-second
year of sailoring approached this
Spring, the old skipper admitted that
he could hardly watt until his
steamer. the Vermont III, was again
placed in operation on Lake Cham
plain The Vermont III operates on
a regular route, touching at Platts-
burg, Burlington, Port Kent, Port
Henry and Fort Ticonderoga or Mont
calm's Landing.
Never Lost Sight of Land.
All Of the captains service has been
on or near Lake Champlain. EIe ad-
mits with a twinkle in his eye that in
all that time he never has been out of
sight of land-except at night.
Capt. Rockwell remembers his
grandfather. Jabez Rockwell, a Revolu-
tionary soldier who fought under Gen.
Washington. On his mothers side
the captain is a descendant of John
Stark, Vermont soldier who crushed
a branch of Burgoyne's army at the

His brother was transferred to an.
other command and Ell B. Rockwell
succeeded to the command of the
schooner Cynthia at the age of II.
Since he was 10 he has been in the
employ of the Lake Champlain Trans.
portation Co., commanding in turn
the Vermonts I, II, III.
In 1868 Capt. Rockwell, singlehand-
ed, was responsible for saving the

RAIL BONDS AGAIN I
MARKET LEADERS
Erie Convertible 4S Continue
10 Lead Transportation
Securities Move.
BY GEORGE L. HUGHES.

special DlSpatcn 10 mo star
NEW YORK, February 19.--Rail-
road bonds were again the leaders
in the trading on the closing day OF
the week. The feature as yesterday
was Erie convertible ~ 4s, which
shot forward to a new high record
for all time as it crossed 81. The
turnover was very large and the
buying was based on the privilege
the bond carries of conversion into
Erie common stock at so. For years
this privilege was regarded az Of
little value, but today with Erie
stock mounting rapidly the bonds
were eagerly bought. The bonds can
be converted up to October /. next.
Another strong railroad obligation
was Chicago Great Western first Is.
These were heavily dealt in at - and
above on a maturity yield basis of ap-
proXimately 6 per cent. The road
earned fixed charges last year about
one and one-half times over and few
bonds in this class are left to give
so generous q return. st. Louis-San
Francisco incomes held firmly and
Delaware and Hudson convertible IS
moved with the stock of that road.
In the industrial list weakness de
veloped in the Warner Sugar bonds
The published statement that the plan
for the National Sugar Refining Go. IT,
take over the Warner plant would
have to await approval of the Federal
authorities brought heavy offerings Of
tn bonds. The IS of 1889 were espe-
cially weak.
This is the issue secured on the
Cuban properties. International Tele-
phone and Telegraph 512s We're
strong, above 10. in sympathy with
the stock. Hudson and Manhattan
income held their recent gain. but
otherwise there was little change III
this part of the list.
The foreign group was steady. The
greatest interest was taken in Bra
lillian bonds. although there is moth
ing new about the proposed additional
Brazilian lean. Brazil SIS were higher
on comparatively small transactions
This is one of the few foreign dollar
bonds listed on the exchange that is
entirely non-callable.

Wall Street Features

NEW YORK. February 10 (Spe-
ciaD.-Calling Of the outstanding Z
per cent preferred stock of the Col
Inns G. Altman Co. had no effect upon
prices Of the common stock. because
of the fact that it also is convertible
into common in the ratio Of two
shares for each one of preferred.
Because Of the fact that the common
was selling around its highest price
Of 761s. it was very evident that none
OF the preferred would be turned In
for redemption at 10. but would be
converted. The preferred, amounting
to $4,000, 900, was brought out In
March, 1926, at 101h.
Failure Of directors Of New York
Gamers to act upon preferred divf-
dends at this time came as no sur
prise. 1t had been anticipated that.
owing to adverse trade conditions, the
policy Of directors from now until the
outlook improves will be to conserve
cash. 1t was reported the preferred
dividend would not be considered until
June, when a better idea OF the crop
situation would be available.

NEW YORK. February 19.-The
main body of stocks turned downward

close Of the week. Selling represented
The taking down of profits which had
accumulated in the railway and other
quarters earlier in the week. 1t was
Noticeable. however, that volume or
trading contracted sharply as prices
Cased off.
Erie issues were outstanding strong
spots for a time, with the demand
more pronounced than at any stage
during the present campaign for hlgnef

being bought on prospects OF carry
