THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON, c. MONDAY OCTOBER

reports of the Atchison and of the Bal
timore 65 Ohio. Both roads have been
losing business this year. Until recent
ly they have not been able to offset
this by sufficient decrease in their
operating expenses to make satisfac-
tory net showing. In September, how
ever, the Baltimore g. Ohio, with a
gross loss of nearly $3.50 900, had a net
gain OF $940.000, or 20 per cent. The
Atchison, decreasing in gross $4,000,
gained $3.50, 900, or per cent in net.
Similar efficiency in railroading had
previously been shown by the Pennsyl-
vania management, which in spite of a
heavy inroad into its revenues this
calendar year expects to end the IL
months with very substantial increase
in net over 1927. Likewise the New
Haven, Illinois Central, st. Paul, Chi
cago & Northwestern, Chicago g. East
ern Illinois, Chicago Great Western
and the Lehigh Valley have succeeded
in turning gross losses into net in
creaSes.
Other roads have overcome the han
dicap of smaller gross in remarkable
way, notably the Chesapeake g. Ohio,
Western Maryland & Central Railroad
of New Jersey. The New York Gen.

BUSINESS is QUIET
At D. c. MARKET
Apple Shipments From Mary
land and Virginia Large.
Prices Steady.

Lively political discussions this morn
ing claimed attention of many persons
in and about the wholesale market
district. Business was SO quiet, accord
ing to merchants, that they had plenty
time to talk politics, and it was general
" agreed that business probably will
not get brisk until after the election.
Dealers this morning had their usual
attractive displays of foodstuffS to offer
the retail trade. Receipts of fruits
and vegetables were light, however, and
soon will become lighter, heavy froStS
in some sections having done much
damage.
Apple growers in nearby Maryland
continue to ship portions of their crops
to this city, keeping down prices OF
selected fruit from other sections. 1t
is reported that growers in some sec
tions of Virginia have stopped gather
ing fruit for market, finding they are
unable to reap any benefits.
On a recent visit to the apple grow
ing sections Of Virginia, a local dealer
witnessed the ground in orchards fairly
covered with apples, the fruit being
left there to decay. Much of the fancy
stock received from distant places, it
is stated, is being put in cold storage
to be held until the cheap stock OF un-
graded country apples has about dis
appeared.
Prices of most commodities today
were substantially the same as prices
quoted Saturday.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, october 90
The wholesale price index fell again
last week, this time reaching 98.4 and
reflected a dollar whose purchasing
power increased six-tenths of cent to
1907. This wholesale price index is the
lowest since last July.
In view of the comparative proximity
of the current index to those since
1923, commodity prices will have to fall
considerably more than they have
during recent weeks before the none
tary situation can be considered to have
reached the danger zone in that respect
anyway. '..
Good economic and credit policy
during recent years has taken sd-
vantage of a fortuitous gold reserve

Washington, D. C., March 6, 1928, Connecticut will gain one more rep resentative in the House of Represen- tatives if Congress passes the reappor- tionment bill which has been introduc- ed by Representative Barbour of Cali fornia and which is now before the House committee on the census for consideration along with the Fenn and Jacobstein reapportionment bills.
 Under this bill the membership of the House would remain at 435 as at present, but the six New England states would lose two members. New England would have only thirty mem- bers in the House instead of thirty two.
 Maine. Rhode Island and Vermont are the losers in New England The representation of each of those states in the House would be decreased by one member. Maine would have three instead of four; Rhode Island, two in- stead of three; and Vermont, one in- stead of two.
 Connecticut is the only New Eng land state which would gain under the bill Both Massachusetts and New Hampshire would have the same num- Der of representatives as each has at present, sixteen and two, respectively.
 Paper Money
 Connecticut national banks which is- sue national bank notes, and such in- stitutions total about fifty-fve. are viewing with lively interest the future action of the Treasury Department touching these notes. There are two reasons for this solicitude Less than four years ago Secretary Mellon urged program which would do away with all national bank notes as soon after April 1880 as practicable; the decis- ion to reduce the size of all paper mon ey means that sooner or later in some manner the national bank notes, if not eliminated, will come under the work ings of this decree.

 Tt is proper to say that the author of this proposal is Harold Rogers, member of the staff of the Washington Star, who because of his adm ration of the feats performed by Colonel Lind bergh. asked Senator Joseph r.

The bill finally introduced differs somewhat in language from that suggested by Mir. Rogers and in- troduced by Senator Robinson of Ar kansas in the Senate, owing to chang es made on recommendation of the Legislative Counsel in order to make the bill conform to precedents, but it's substance is the same.

Thirty-two delegates from Cochise
county to represent the county at the
state republican convention at Tucson

was represented either by the duly
elected committeeman or by proxy
there being Sc of the 83 committeeman
in attendance when County Chairman
John c. Gung1, of Wilcox, convened
the session at las p. M. Perhaps half
a dozen were added before the delib-
erations were concluded by the late
arrivals. There were some observers
also in attendance.
The convention was confined tc
purely business matters required in
selecting the delegates and making
recommendations as to the choice OF
the county's party workers when the
state convention gets to the selection
of delegates to the Kansas City ma
tional convention to choose the repub-
lican nominee for the presidency in

oring the selecting of Harry A. Clark

gestion and the vote being unanimous
When the convention was called tt

retary being absent, Fred D. Hubbel
was appointed temporary secretary
and read the formal calls both for tho
state and the county conventions. Thi'

WASHINGTON March "A CFJ--N1ore
evidence regarded as OF high value
to the government in the prosecution
OF tie oil conspiracy charge against
Harry F. Sinclair early next month
was adduced today before the senate
Teapot Dome committee.
It was furnished by Harold Ken
well, cashier in StncIair's New York
office, who disclosed that there were
no records on the wealthy oil opera
tors books showing either the $23S,-
900 payment to NJ T. Everhart, SON
in-laW OF Albert B. Fall or OF stock
holdings in the Tres Ritos ranch OF
the former interior secretary.
Falls contention has been that the
payment was one in an ordinary
business transaction and could not be
considered IN the nature OF a Drlpe.
The transaction took place alter the
one time cabinet officer had executed
the lease OF the teapot Dome naval
oil reserve in wyoming to SlncIairs
Mammoth Oil company.
Before calling Kenwell to the stand
the committee spent nearly an hour
questioning Alnert ID. Lasker OF Chi
cago, former chairman OF the ship
ping board, about his contributions
to the republican party. 1t learned
from him that he gave $25,OOU TO
the late Fred w. Upham, treasurer
of the republican national committee,
in October, 1920, during the Harding
campaigiI, no record OF which appears
on the lists which Upham turned
~ I,Ic "
Hodges of Denver. Those lists cred
tied Lasker with $4,000 contribution
in 1923 when the teverlsh campaign
was on to wipe out the party debt
before the next campaign, but Las
ker declared he had made no such
contribution.
Pressed by Senator Bratton, demo-
crat, New Mexico, KenWeu conceded
C-lat if the Fall Sinclair bond trans
actions took place and were IN the
ordinary course OF business, some rec
ord should have been made OF them
before this time as they had occurred
five years ago. He could not recall
any large transactions which had been
kept off the records Tor such O. length
| OF time.
! Kenwell, who said Sinclair had re-
fused permission Tor him to bring
his private personal records here, also
said there was no account IN the
books covering the S26OOOO advance
of liberty bonds which Sinclair made
to Will H. Hays former chairman
OF the republican national committee,
and $l6O,OOO OF which was used to
help extinguish the republican party
deficit in 1923 in advance OF the
Coolidge-DaviS presidential campaign.
The Sinclair employe protessed 10
have no knowledge about any CONT
mental Trading company liberty bonds
which Sinclair used in the deal With
Fall and Hays. He said that so lar
as he knew there had been no record
made OF any bonds received from
feither the Continental or its presi-
dent, H. S. Osler.
