Power Trust Found
By Wet Blanket

rover trust round
By Wet Blanket
One of the interesting events of
recent days has been the discovery of
the Power Trust by the Wet Blanket.
For months and months the Hearst
papers have been belaboring the Pow
er Trust from Washington but the
| Wet Blanket did not pay much at
tention. Suddenly the old sheet broke
loose and indicated that all the doings
of the Power Trust in its effort to get
a strangle hold on the Federal Gov
eminent were not exactly to be APP
proved and were not even as praise
worthy as the effort of the Nelligen
committee in investigating the State
Roads Commissions activities.
So there is now no such thing as
predicting what the Wet Blanket will
do next. 1t was not impressed by the
Conowingo deal even though Conowin-
go is an important stone in the Power
Trust structure it being classed as a
Pierpont Morgan property and as
such part of the Northern New York
combination assaulted by Governor
Roosevelt of New York.
1t may be that the Wet Blanket is
trying to reform. One can never
tell. Reforms occur occasionally in
journalism just as they occur among
politicians.
Parking Cases
Worry His Excellency.
Somehow the Governor seems a bit
nervous these days and one of his
troubles is the parking charges made
by the police involving State-City Of
ficials such as the Sheriff and the
States Attorney and so on. can't
see any cause for excitement about it
but | hear that the Governor sent for
all three justices of the Traffic Court
and gave them a piece of his mind for
imposing penalties in some of these
cases. Since he began to slip politi-
cally the Governor probably thinks
there is a conspiracy against him with
Howard Jackson and Charlie Bichy in
the background.

Banquet Proposed
For Investigators

Gossip has it that fine dinner may
be given to John N. Michigan and
other members of the Governors
State Roads Investigating Committee
by friends of the former who probab-
ly want an excuse for a function and
can think Of nothing else. 1t would
be a fine gesture, as the members of
the committee got no pay even though
this and the Legislative committee
together spent something like $4,000
Of the public funds without ascertain
ing anything much that we did not
previously know.
Under the recent ruling of the Mel
ligan committee, as l interpret it, the
cost of such dinner might very well
be extracted from the State highway
fund and under that same ruling APP
propriate "mementos" might be pro-
vided. While we are liberal we might
as well do things right And if this
fine dinner is given l here meekly
suggest that among the features
there should be toy balloons marked

Many Wonder Why
Mr.. Shriver Signed


There have been many queries con-
corning the acquiescence Of Vice
President George NJ. Shriver of the
B. & O. railroad in the Whitewashing
report submitted by the Michigan COM
mittee last week and of which Mr..
ShriVer is or was a member. But
there is no more explanation at hand
than there is of the attitude of At
torney Edwin G. Baetjer, who from
the first appeared to be hostile to any
one giving information critical of the
State roads administration.
1t is possible that Mr.. Shriver took
some of the findings on faith as he did
not attend all the meetings Of the
committee that were held in public.
He is a very busy man and the great
wonder is that he served at all. Nat
urally his first interest is the B. &. 0.
railroad company in which he grew
up.
recall that during the term of Mr..
Richie as Attorney General Arthur
P. German, Jr., as Chairman of the
State Tax Commission, directed pub
lie attention to the fact that the Belt
Line railroad company, a subsidiary
of the B. &. o., was not paying State
taxes on the Belt Line tunnel. AS the
State authorities had done nothing
in the matter, but had neglected it
for years, Mr.. German suggested the
employment of former Attorney Gen
eral Isaac Lobe Straus to press the
claim and collect the taxes if possible.
Mr.. Richie seemed indignant at
the suggestion of employing special
counsel in this case and it was not
done, but the claim was sent to the
Attorney General Mr.. Richie, for in
vestigation and collection. Mr.. Richie
sat there and served his term without
collecting a dollar or even getting the
B. & O. to acknowledge the justice of
the States claim. Then Richie was
succeeded by Alexander took up the
matter, soon reached an agreement
with the B. & o., collected $4,000, and
the tax has been paid annually ever
since.
Then I recall that in 1922 the Mary
land Legislature, after sharp fight
repealed the full crew law, meas
ure enacted at the behest of organized
labor, and Governor Richie signed
this repeal 1t was the talk at the
time that the fight was managed by
the B. G. o. people and that quite a
large sum was expended at Annapolis
Thus it does appear that B. & O.
officials are justified in feeling kindly

ernor really wanted to get rid of
Billy Curran as a political factor. Rit-
chic has never forgotten the time
when Curran had the courage to call
him thimble rigger in public.
Republicans Watching
BrOening Campaign
The main question in the Republi-
can camp these days is the status of
the Broening campaign for the Guber-
material nomination. Of course the
Mayor has not announced himself but
his movements in the counties have
been interpreted as campaign move
ments. He goes about a great deal,
adding to his list of acquaintance.
Recently he was in Queen Anne's
county. He goes to secret society af-
fairs and he belongs to number. He
does his handshaking.
But there is long road yet to be
travelled. New names may come up.
The latest is that of Judge Lind
ley NJ. Sloan Of the Court of Appeals.
He halls from AlIegany, the home Of
David A. Robb and with whom he was
associated in the practice of law be-
fore being elected to the bench. 1t is
not known that Judge Sloan would
want the nomination but his name has
been brought up recently.
Friends of Judge Robert F. Duer of
Somerset say he would make no con-
test for nomination but that he
would accept it if rendered. There
are others in the same obliging atti-
tude.

cordance with the operating schedule.

1t has been proposed that the officer
of the Medical Corps Of the Army or Of
the Medical Corps of the Navy below the
rank of colonel or captain, respectively,
who is now or hereafter may be as
signed to duty as physician to the
White House, shall have the temporary
rank and the pay and allowances of q
Medical Corps colonel of the Army, or
of a captain Of the Navy Medical Corps,
while so serving. II has also been pro-
posed that the officer now assigned to
that duty shall have the rank. pay and
allowances from March 6, 1929, the date
of assignment as such.
The duties Of physician to the White
House are now being performed by
Lieut.. Comdr. j. t. Boone, Medical
Corps, U. S. N. The officer who pre-
viously performed the same duties, Maj.
j. F. Coupal, Army Medical Corps. was
granted by the act Of May Is, 1928, the
temporary rank and the pay and al
lowances Of a colonel, while serving as
personal physician to the President, but
this act was limited in its application
to Maj. Coupal alone and does not apply
to Lieut.. Comdr Boone.
1t is felt by the Navy Department that
the responsibilities of the physician to
the White House are such as to war
rant the grant of the rank, pay and al
lowances of a colonel or a captain, re-
spectively, to any officer of the Army or
Navy, occupying that position, so long
as such assignment is in effect, If the
officer does not hold higher rank in his
own rank. The cost of the proposed leg
islation, If enacted, will necessarily vary
with the existing rank of the officer
concerned at the time of his assignment
to the duty of physician to the White
House. In the present circumstances
the increased cost will be at the rate
of $l,271 per year, which is not in con-
f1ict with the financial program Of the
President.

STOCK LIST GAINS
AS CREDIT EASES
Drop in Money Rate to Z Per
Cent Stimulates BuIliSh
Operations.
STANLEY w. PREN0STL.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Reduction in
the call money rate to z per cent slim
ulated a revival of bullish activity in
today's stock market. Buying con-
tinued to be of rather selective char
acter, however, with such important
groups as the steels, motors, coppers
and oils taking little part In the up
swing. Public utilities were again in
the forefront of the advance, with the
rails Joining the upward movement in
the afternoon trading.
Call money renewed at per cent
rIrouped to 71k and then to 2, presum-
ablv in reflection of the heavy accun1u-
lation of funds here in connection with
the midmonth dividend, interest and
Federal income tax payments. There
was no uuotable change in time money
rates, but the. undertone OF the market
was described as easier.
Buying became varied In the final
hour, when the chemicals and low
priced oils appeared frequently on the
ticker. Lago Oil rose to 34A. new
high for the year, and Allied Columbia
Commercial Solvents and Columbia
Carbon moved up to points. Most
of the public utilities continued to gain,
Public Service of New Jersey getting
into new high ground at 81. The close
was strong.
Opening Is Higher.
Prices displayed a strong undertone
at the opening. Motion Pictures, Inc;
Frank G.. Shattuck and Union Carbide
all moved into new high ground on
initial gains of / to 212 points. Wright
Aeronautical opened points higher,
Coty and General Electric ! II and In
ternational Combustion 1.
Bullish sentiment prevailed through
out the early trading in reflection OF
the growing belief that the June credit
stringency will be less severe than ex-
pected and that first han-year state
ments of leading corporations would
make favorable comparison with the
same period year ago. Early buying
was rather selective in character and
limited largely to issues in which spe-
cial developments are pending.
General Electric quickly ran up BIZ
points to a new 1929 high at 1854 in
what has been described as Wall Streets
own celebration of the return of Owen
D. Young, chairman of the board, who
presided at the reparations conference.
Auburn Auto, which is believed to har-
Dor a large short interest, ran up
points to a new high at 283. American
Water Works and Standard Gas &
Electric moved into new high ground on
early gains of 234 and 4 points, respec-
lively Commonwealth Power, which
sold as low as 1854 less than a week
ago ran up points to 215. The years
high is 2l812.
