RUBBER COMPANY
|. CONTROL IS H|NTED
Eaton and Associates Re-
ported to Have Bought Ma
iority Goodyear Stock.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 28.-Gum
shoe work has been going on in the
rubber industry. At least that is the
report being circulated among men ex-
tremely close to both the financial and
industrial ends of the rubber industry
in Ohio. It is asserted that Cleveland
interests, headed by Cyrus S. Eaton
have acquired virtual control of the
worlds largest rubber manufacturing
concern, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co.
If this report Is true-and 1t is not
officially confirmed-the voting stock
which would carry control has been &C
Quired in the open market and not as
a result of internal or private negot1-
ations. The purchases, it is alleged
have persisted over course of months
In the last three weeks there have been
207, 500 shares or more of Goodyear
traded in on the New York Stock Ex-
change and the price has advanced
from so to a high of LOT share. The
acquisitions indicated might account fol-
these figures to an appreciable extent.
The Goodyear Co. has had troubled

came insolvent. It was reorganized in
1921, but seeds of dissension among the
security holders grew rapidly into
disastrous law suits, trouble over voting
control of the company and the exist
ence of management" stock. A COM
promise was reached in 1927 and the
company again was reorganized.
The company has a capacity o1
u.s. 900 tires a day, and has now ven
tured boldly into the Zeppelin-manufac-
turing field. It is now building two
dirigibles for the Government, construc-
ton of which involves a total Of
So, 1926, 900.
Cyrus S. Eaton, whose career as q
financier has been somewhat meteoric
is a partner in Otis & Co. He has been
deeply engaged In the strengthening OF
the position of a number of the inde-
pendent steel concerns in Northern
Ohio in the last year or so, using the
Republic Iron & Steel Co. as nucleus.
He negotiated the financing of the
Trumbull Steel Co., when that concern
was in desperate plight and merged
it with Republic: He also brought to-
gether United Alloy Steel and since has
brought another unit into the Republic
fold.
It is generally believed among his
associates that eventually Mr.. Eator
will bring together units of steel com.
pany which will be second in size only
to United States Steel. His interests fol
a time centered in Continental Gas &
Electric Co., which few years ago be-
came part of the United Light & Power
Co.. which in turn controls the Kansas
Light & Power Co., and the Columbus
Light & Power Co., and which recently
acquired control of the American Light
g. Traction Co.

NEW YORK, November 28.-The new
high-average price reached yesterday by
the rail group of stocks and the expan-
sion Of trading in them to a degree
that placed them nearly at parity
with the industrials was not only re-
sponse to the splendid statements OF
October earnings that have been COM
ing from all sections Of the country
but to the Wall Street belief that the
rails are behind the rest Of the market
Preliminary figures for the first two
score roads reporting for october indi-
Gated an increase in their net over
the same month in 1927 of 2712 per
cent. This compares with gross in
crease by the same carriers OF 6 per
cent, indicating that railroad manage
ments are still operating most eff
GENTLY.
With the exception of one or two un-
favorable statements from the South,
practically all of those that have so far
been published indicate larger volume
of freight earnings than last Autumn.
In the trunk line territory the net
gains have been striking. For the first
time this year the New York Centra
was able last month to show gain ir
its net operation income. The Pennsyl.
vania system continued its splendlc

record with an increase Of nearly
$4,000,O00 net, Baltimore g. Ohio in
creased net 35 per cent and the New
Haven over 40 per cent. This Is the
basis on which the New Haven directors
raised their dividend to per cent.
This is good news to the thousands
of New Haven shareholders who have
been until recently without income for
many years.
In the transcontinental group the
exhibit Of the Atchison was the most
outstanding, with an increase OF 80 per
cent in net and the prospect or not
only recovering all of the early loss OF
the year in this item, but ending 1928
with more dollars per share earned
than in 1927. Great Northern had a
remarkable october, which exceeded the
early estimates of the management,
amounting to 16 per cent gross and 18
per cent net more than last year. This
road will also earn in 1928 nearly twice
the present dividend.
The Southern Railway and the sea-
board Air Line last month were both
able to show some gains, although these
were slight.
The Florida East Coast operated at
a deficit which 1t could hardly fail to
do with its gross decreasing so heavily
Compared with two years ago, its gross

GARNER ELECTION
House Committee Finds No
Evidence of Texas Ballot
IrreguIarity.

McALLEN, Tex, November 28.-The
House campaign expenditures COM
mittee late yesterday closed its inves-
tigation of Representative John Gar
ners successful campaign for re-elec-
ton in the fifteenth congressional dis
trict and in effect vouchsafed the vet
eran Democratic leader of the House an
expression of confidence against charges
of excessive campaign expenditures and
illegal Mexican voting, brought by his
defeated primary opponent, Sid Hardin
of Mission.
After a hot verbal tilt between Chair
man Fred Lehlbach, New Jersey, Re-
publican, and Representative Loring M.
Black, Democrat, New York, over the
committees jurisdiction, the investi-
gators turned to further inquiry into
Hidalgo County's general election.
Independents" composed Of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans opposed to the
reigning Democratic administration in
the district, are contesting Gamers re-
election, alleging various irregularities
Hardin testified that he withdrew his
contest Of the lection rather than face
the threat of indictment on libel
charges.
Garner, as a sworn witness, defended
himself by his record against any charge
of corruption, and Representative Carl
r. Chindblom of Illinois, without dis
sent from his colleagues, stated that
the committee would be amazed" to
find any foundation for charges against
Garner
The ruckus between Lehlbach and
Black came when Black insisted that
the committee was going beyond its
Jurisdiction in hearing testimony as to
the allegedly familiar composition Of
bach M ordered Rlack.s remarks rem stricken
from the record. He recalled prior
interjection in the hearing by Black
to the effect that Texas had made a
great mistake" by going Republican.
After heated dispute Blacks remarks
were left in the record.

Uncle Sam Seizes
Liquor Claimed for
Thanksgiving Pies
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, November 28.-
Uncle Sam doesn't want liquor
smuggled into the United States,
even for Thanksgiving mince pies
and plum puddings.
Eight Detroit housewives learn
ed this yesterday when customs
agents detained them at the De-
troit ferry docks for attempting
to bring liquor into this country
from Canada. Each had bottle
or two and each said she in
tended to use the liquor in
Thanksgiving delicacies. They
were fined SIS each and the liquor
was confiscated.
Customs agents said the holi-
day rush is on in the liquor
smuggling business. Besides the
women, about 40 men were ar
rested at the docks for carrying
liquor. Fines totaling $685. were
collected.

CHARITY SWINDLES
ARE AGAIN EXPOSED
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 28.-A ma
tional survey by allied business interests
has classified about 35 per cent OF funo
soliciting enterprises as possibly fradu-
lent and is per cent as definitely dis
honest.
The investigators interviewed more
than 1000 leading corporations which
give money to charity, welfare, recrea-
ton. educational and public health
campaigns. One of these concerns, en-
gagged in large scale manufacturing,
was found to contribute more than ST.
000,0 900 annually to public betterment
causes Similar huge contributions by
other concerns swelled the total contr1-
buttons to many millions. Hence, a pos
sible so per cent leakage constitutes
gross takings for the swindlers, probably
considerably larger than the national
returns from burglary or highway rob-
berry.
The approach Of the holidays has
brought out hordeS of solicitors for va
rious kinds Of benevolent projects-some
legitimate and some not-not only in
New York but in other large cities.
While legitimate drives for universities,
hospitals, charities, visiting nurse asso-
Citations and churches continue, COM
PCIlCAOA1 AOA 4IlOAACy 10 o1AoA PCAs VA az
count of the drives of questionable au-
thority, ranging from those under mild
suspicion down to the outright swindles.
There are instances of bona fide
drives where, after allowance for pub
licity, advertising, solicitors percentage,
postage, circularization and other ex-
penSes, the charity to be benefited has
received only 8 per cent of the total.
Thanksgiving and Christmas benefits
and welfare schemes are prominent in
the countless shady enterprises. This
industry was at its height during the
war, when numerous slick philanthro-
pists were gathering funds for soldiers
Some went to prison.
A new drug has been discovered to
cure paresis and sleeping sickness.

Wild Horses Starving
Range Herds in Texas

HOUSTON. Aug. PA fight has
bAen Instituted by cattIemen upon
herds of wild range horses, which
are roaming the cattle districts in
large numbers. So plentiful have
the wild horses become that In
some pIaces in New Mexico they
are starting cattle by stripping the
ranges. OF grass. Ranchers have
been forced in many localities to
fence their water holes against the
onslaught of the horses.
Most OF the present stock are
s'broom tails from herds On which
bands have lapsed. Most Ut them
are offspgings OF animals that origi-
nally belonged to community herds
that ranged on old Spanish grants.
