NEW YORK, March 27.-The latest
company reports of the two leading
telephone companies show that stocks
of both organizations are continuing to

curities. The number of stockholders
is rapidly growing and one company
has announced q split of shares, which
should increase its popularity with in

communication throughout the world.
Much of its territory is. however, in
the initial stages of development and
it will require great expansion pro-
gram to develop these regions ex-
tensively.
In the past three years I. T. & t. has
followed A. T. & It's method OF flnanc-
ing expansion by offering common Stock
holders the right to subscribe to new
stock. Thus, while the dividend rate OF
So gives yield of only 2.5 per cent at
present prices, the rights add over SO
q share each year. Therefore, II the
rights prove as valuable in the future
as they have in the past the yield Will
be 80 per cent, even if the dividend is
not raised.
THAT I. r. g. r. has been able to
show increasingly large returns every
year from the capital expended Is
proved by the fact that earnings rose
from S7.36 in 1922 to $10.26 last year,
after averaging S1031 for the seven
years. At this rate the Sc dividend
seems we'll secured.
The recent proposal to split the COM
mon three shares for one and to author
ize the issuance of more stock IN the
future makes the stock more attractive.
because it presages that further rights
will be offered. The stock is naturally
more speculative than A. T. & T.. be-
cause it's future cannot be so closely
estimated. 1t is. however, finding an IN
creasingly important place as an IN
yestment issue.

CURB SHARES GAIN
AFTER SHARP DROP
List Shows Tendency to Rally
Following Heavy Selling
Yesterday.
BY HARRY III. BECKER.

Special DlSpatCH 10 4He
NEW YORK, March 27.-Held in re-
straint most of the day by continued
tight money conditions, and still more
or less bewildered as result of the vio-
lent crash yesterday, trades on the Curb
Exchange displayed extreme nervous
ness today. There was no recurrence.
however, of the furious selling witnessed
the day before. although at intervals
some leftover marginal liquidation af-
fected certain issues.
Early In the afternoon the entire list
showed better tone, due largely to the
failure of money to develop any greater
firmness. Among the stocks to rally
most were some of the better grade oils,
industrials and utilities. all of which
had undergone a thorough process of
readjustment.
Vacuum Oil was an outstanding ex-
ample. 1t opened 10 points higher than
it closed Tuesday, but lost half of the
gain on realizing by interests who
bought for support purposes. In the
case of Humble the initial recovery
amounted to 3 points; Gulf OH OF
Kansas Pipe Line, 4; Standard of IN
! diana, 8. and Standard of Ohio, 2la.
Subsequently the improvement was
modified.
Equally abrupt rallies took place in
stocks like Goldman Sachs, Grlgsby
Grunow, Libby Owens. Haygart, Wal
green, Newmont Mining, Noranda.
Firestone Tire and Ford of Canada.
The last named. which went to 882 on
the break and opened at 931, shot up
an additional 60 points. This may nave
been partly in response to news that
stockholders had approved the 20-for-l
split up. Auburn Automobile made an
overnight Jump of almost 10 points.
International Telephone q Telegraph
was outstandingly strong. rising. into
new high ground with a gain of almost
half a dozen points as the old stock on
the big board spurted sensationally. In
the higher-priced utility section, Ameri-
can Light e. Traction rallied 4 and
lost the gain before midday, while
American Gas & Electric, American
Foreign Power warrants, Electric Bond
e. Share, Electric Investors and Ameri-
can Superpower "B" all advanced
sharply. United Gas Improvement failed
to keep pace with the leaders, how
ever. Among the lower-priced is
sues Electric Power & Light option war
rants, United Light &, Power "a" and
Empire Power did much better.
Among the weak spots early IN the
day were Checker Cab, American Roll
ing Mills, Saf-T-Stat, Hiram Walker.
Wright Aero new. Trans-Lux and some
Of the aviation issues, but these also
made some recovery when the turn
came. Niles Bement-Pond, after rising
more than points above its previous
closing. broke rapidly and then steadied.
In the merchandise group Lazarus

American Telephone & Telegraph.

American Telephone & Telegraph, the
largest public utility III the world, owns,
controls or has q substantial interest
in "a telephone companies furnishing
service throughout the United States,
and connecting with Canada, CUBA ana
European countries. The company WIN
it's subsidiaries, is known as the Ben
fourths of the telephones in the United
States.
The American Telephone IL Telegraph
Co. operates essentially as connecting
link between its subsidiaries, taking
charge of toll calls. Uniform service
throughout the country is guaranteed
by a contract between the A. T. 6 L.
and its associated companies. In ad-
dition to its telephone business. the
A. T. s. T. owns 50 per cent OF the
Western Electric Co., which manu-
features telephones. radios and taking
movie equipment.
During the past six years, the bust
ness of the company has increased
faster than the country mas grown. This
is due partly to an increase OF SO per
cent in the number of instruments IN
use and partly to the increased use OF
the telephone for long distance calls.
Toll rates have been lowered gradually,
but each decline in cost has brought
enough additional business to offset the
cut and to increase the cof11panys
profits still further.
The company follows strenuous ex-
pansion program, requiring large sums
every year. During 1928, over $500, OOo,-
900 were spent in expanding, pace
that is expected to be maintained for
the next five years. If these plans are
carried through the company will have
added value of S2,000000,0 900 to its
properties which are now evaluated at
$3.827, 100000.
The common stakeholder is interested
in these expansion plans for two rea-
sons. First, expansion means a gradual

 The family was surprised when Henri Jalitot. @j, called to pay his respects, saying that he was a god son.

 It was the faithful valet who compiled with the Tigers wishes and dressed him after his death in a gray suit, gray gloves and the horizon blue cap, which he so often wore.
 Albert, Francois. his son Michel, grandson Dr. Andre Jacquemair1. Deputy Nicolas Pietri and sister Theonestc who had kept a bedside vigil of more than 60 hours were the only witnesses to the end.
