With no embarrassment he
moved about, adjusting here,

Principals were trying to
get at the department heads
to point out where they were
getting all the worst of it,
as proof of jealous dirty
work to keep them from
showing up the others. Fannie
was surrounded by a dozen
excited, self-seeking attaches,
including Eddie, now dressed
in a tight-fitting checked
suit, lenSeless horn-rimmed
spectacles and a comedy
derby, made up for his bit
in his own song.
"Mr. Zanfield, if that

his paper as a baton, started
giving the director direc-

On the stage the effete

The electrician turned to
his union brother in the
spot-bOoth and mumbled:
"I'd like to kill his pro-
file-with a brick. "
Just then the living pic

spot moved-he wanted a

POSITION OF HOLDING
COMPANIES DISCUSSED

The holding company as a definite
obstacle in the path of public control
of the electrical utilities, and the pre-
diction that unless new leadership
developes within this industry, addi-
tional legislative restrictions will be i'm
posed upon it and present attacks will
continue. are the i~aShlights in a chap
ter on the structure and functioning
of holding companies in survey OF
the electrical utilities by DR.. William
E. Mosher and his staff associates of
the School of Citizenship and Public
Affairs, Syracuse University, published
today by Harper g. Bros.
The book, Electrical Utilities-The
Crisis in Public Control" gives an ex-
haustive analysis of the situation which
has led up to what the authors term
a crisis, and concludes with five Sug-
gested solutions to the problem, which,
they declare, is rapidly emerging as
of dominating Importance for thee eco
nomic and social progress of the Nation"
These solutions are % control by direct
contract between the State and the
company; CD public competition
through the further development of
such projects as Muscle Shoals and
Boulder Dam and sale by the Govern
ment of power; 90 control by a league
of municipalities similar to the one
which has been in operation in the
Canadian Province of Ontario for 20
years; a. control through national
planning commission, and 60 Govern
ment ownership.
The authors do not approve Of Gov
eminent ownership and control except
as final resort. However, they are
emphatic in their assertion that "the
primary condition of public ownership
of any public utility is dissatisfaction
with the cost and service standards
available under private operation"

SPECULATIVE BOND
PRICES ARE MIXED
ConvertibIes Irregular-High
Time Money Rates Cause
Sag in U. S. Issues.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

! Special Dispatch to The Star
! NEW YORK, July 1.-THE specu-
| lative side of the bond market was
more mixed today than it has been in
some time. The convertibles pursued
an irregular course, with reactions of
to 21a points in one part of the
list, while gains of l to 6 points were
taking place elsewhere.
The smaller volume of trading in the
telephone issues affected the days total
of the entire market.
Convertible Group.
The strongest of the convertibles
were the American ]. G. Chemical
51as, which advanced points in con-
nection with estimates OF the value Of
the stock to which they are related.
These bonds were brought out several
months ago around 95. A heavy short
interest in them at once developed
among dealers who did not think they
would go well. In covering their po-
sition they paid as high as 11012 soon
after the bond was offered. 1t then
declined below par. This afternoon 1t
was selling at 1l6.
Another convertible that touched a
new high for the year was Southern
Pacific 4laS. This bond had a poor
market from the start and sold down
from 95 to below 80. Today it was
961a. Atchison convertible 412s had
an early loss OF 2l2 points, following
yesterdays late rise of points, but
recovered all of it. Missouri Pacific
5l2s and Allegheny Corporation SIS
were both off point at one time. In
ternational Telephone 4i2s gained ga
points.
There was further accumulation of
the st. Paul adjustments up to a level
! IA points above Tuesdays closing. On
the other hand the gold IS sold ia
points below the price reached few
days ago. Chicago Great Western IS
rose "a points and New Haven 3l2s Of
1855 were 2l2 points above Saturdays
closing New York Railway adjustments
sold at new low price which repre-
sented only one-third of the market
value placed on these securities earlier
in the year.
Rail Issues,
The Seaboard Air Line issues held
steady in spite of the fact that deposits
of the adjustment bonds under the
proposed plan have been disappoint-
ingly small. At the present time it
looks doubtful whether sufficient de-
posts will be received in the next two
weeks to put the plan in operation
This will be a serious blow to the COM
pany which must find a way soon to
meet bank loans and maturing obliga-
tionS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch 60 the star.
NEW YORK, July ia new ele-
ment has entered into the bond market
situation to confuse it and probably to
postpone the hoped for early return Of
demand for strictly investment issues.
This takes the form Of convertible
bond. While not new invention in
finance, for 1t was first used success
fully soon after the reorganization Pc
Rod Of American railroads Is years ago,
it never before has been so popular as
now, when conservative buyers of bonds
have been drawn to these stock option
issues on large scale.
Scope Of Trading.
An analysis Of bond transactions to-
day covering the period from June /,
when the stock market began to re-
cover from the late May decline, shows
that for the past seven weeks the trad
ing In convertible bonds on the New
York Stock Exchange and in the New
York Curb Market represented a par
value of approximately 10000, 900,
0O0,00 The greater part Of this was in
the American Telephone & Telegraph
and International Telephone & Tele-
graph AZ per cent bonds, with smaller
amounts in Atchison 4Rs, Southern
Pacific 4las, Missouri Pacific 51as, AL
leghany Corporation SIS, American In
ternational Corporation 512s, Philadel"
phia & Reading IS. Kreuger & Toll SIS.
Associated Gas g. Electric 4las and
American I. G. Chemical 5l2s.
About 40 per cent Of all the bond
trading since June l has been in half
a dozen issues out of the many hun
dreds that are listed. Formerly the con-
vertible bond was looked upon as too
near a relative to the common stock to
warrant the conservative investor in
buying it. Today, however, it is being
accumulated by banks, insurance COM
panies, investment trusts, and even by
savings banks, as several OF the con-
vertibles have recently been made legal
for these banks in New York State.
The convertible bond market is an over
flow from the stock market. Under the
terms of conversion In some Of the pop
ular convertibles their price has moved
UP more rapidly than that of the stock
into which they may be later ex-
changed.
The effect of the appreciation in con-
vertible bonds on regular institutional
buyers of investment securities has been
rather demoralizing. 1t is this that
bond houses now fear will keep their
old customers from going back into
strictly mortgage issues which move
only occasionally, and then by small
fractions.
Effect Of High Money.
The bond market was, first Of all,
hurt by the general public preference
for stocks over bonds. Now interest i'll
high-grade bonds and notes is being
further reduced by the performance OF
the convertibles, which have frequently
advanced from 3 to 5 and even 10
points in a single session. High rates
for money have kept on going up, while
fixed Understanding securities have
been declining, and in the present un-
expected period of midsummer credit
strain have dropped to the lowest aver
age of the YEAR

from minor league outfits around

A striking example of what the
Pirates will look like this season
without the Waners, who are hold
ing out for a joint salary of $35, 900,
was on view at Paso Robes, Cal,
Wednesday, where the San Fran

With Glenn Wright's arm threat
ening to ruin his major league ca
reer and Dazzy Vance lulling around

for his $25, 900 salary terms to be
met, the Brooklyn Robins resemble
first-claSS cellar material.
If Wright is unable to play short,
Davy Bancroft, who has seen his
best days, will have to be showed
into the breach. Vance, who won
twenty-five games last season, is al
most certain to get his demands
and join the Robins soon, but he
isn't getting into shape in the
meantime.
Another club which is having its
troubles is the Chicago Cubs, with
Woody English, star shortstop, and
Gabby Hartnett, f1rst-string catch
er, on the injured list. English has
an infected toe and may be out
for a week or more.
