SUIT
DRAWS REPLY

!. The Library of Congress today
through Herbert Putnam. libra.
ran, Nled a demurrer to the
SUIT recently brought in the Dis.
trlct Supreme Court by execu.
TORS OF the estate of Mrs. Emma
Treadwell Thacher to recover
possession Of the priceless John
boyd Thacher collection Of Napo-
leonic and French Revolutionary
material which has been q treas
sure trove Of the nations scllol-
ars for years.
Return Demanded
The suit was brourht hv
George Curtis TreadwelI and
Hugh Reilly on grounds that the
Library had failed to comply
with the terms Of Mrs, Thach-
ers viii and demanded, through
replevin, the return of all books,
manuscripts, letters and auto.
graphs.
The collection includes price
less examples Of the autographs
OF kings, queens, emperors and
popes from nearly the begin
ming Of European history.
Much Of the collection has been
IN the library since 1910, o few
years following the death of Mr..
Ihacher, wealthy Albany
IN. ~ manufacturer with a col
Iector's hobby. Under the terms
OF the win of the widow, who
died In 1927. the library was to
have the collection permanently,
provided it printed special cata.
log and made provision to keep
the collection intact.
JurisdictiOn Attacked
The grounds Of the demurrer
point out that while the suit is
directed against the librarian it
Is actually a suit against the
United States which has not con-
Sented to be sued. A special
plea also attacks the jurisdiction
OF the court to handle the case
1t is also pointed out that Mrs. |
Thacher during her lifetime had |
expressed satisfaction with the
manner in which the collection
was handled.

Oil Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

(This is the twenty-fourth Of
series of brief analyses by MT, Hughes
Of the principal oil stocks. The intent
Is not to recommend the purchase or
sale Of any particular stock but 70 3
give the investor such information as
may enable him intelligently to chart
his own course.)
Operating In Kentucky and Id the
South generally, Standard on OF Ken
lucky Is primarily refining organiza-
ton. 1t has the simplest Of capi-
and only one class of capital stock
which Is of $40 par value with 2,577 .124
shares outstanding.
The balance sheet itself Is simple In
the extreme. On the liability side be-
sides current liabilities there are only,
the capital stock, depreciation reserves,
insurance and pension reserve and sur
plus. On the asset side there Is only
plant and improvement and current
assets. AS Of December 81 last total
current assets were SAT 1882 ,308 against
ratio Of approximately five to one.
with such q set-up, all net income
being applicable to capital stock, the
market price Is free to reflect improve
ment or the reverse In earnings. The
calendar year 1929 was q good one for
Kentucky. Net income was $6,652 1892
against $4,745, 604 in 1928. On share
basis 1929 earnings were $2.58 against
$1.85 In the preceding year. In Decem-
Der of 1928 the old stock was split two
and one-half for one and q so per cent
stock dividend disbursed on the new
shares.
Probably it will be some time before
anything similar Is done but it Is the
reasonable certainty that stock dividends
will be paid over q period Of years that
gives Standard Oil stocks both specula-
tive and investment attraction. The
stock gives q fair yield on the present
cash dividend at present market prices
for an issue Of It's grade.
Standard Oil of Kentucky was one OF
the original Standard Oil group but was
separated from the parent company
under the terms of the United States
Supreme Court decree In 1911 and has
been operated independently ever since.

RALLY IN STOCKS
DRIVES IN SHORTS
Market Comes Back During
Final Dealings, With Many
Losses Recovered.
ny the Associated Press.

~ the Associated PresS.
NEW YORK, May 20.-Bears grew
excessively bold in today's stock market.
and after driving most leading shares
down 2 to points or more, found
their position untenable; and were
driven into hasty retreat. Losses IN
the more important shares were mostly
recovered and several closed with net
gains.
Bulls rallied around two Of their old
time standards Of the so-called Coolidge
Hoover bull market, General Motors and
United States Steel. General Motors
was bid up close to so In heavy buying,
and United States Steel, after selling
down to within a fraction Of the years
yesterdays close. Such shares as Amer
lean Telephone, General Electric, Amer
lean, and Radio regained all Of the
ground lost earlier In the day.
The closing tone was Arm. Transac-
lions appropriated 3,50000 shares.
While little hope Of anything more
than an up-and-down market was held
out In brokerage circles, there was q
feeling in some quarters that with the
increase in volume the market should
soon reach q point of vantage from
which o rally might be expected. Sew
eral prominent traders, who took profits
on the long side last week, were said to
be committing themselves heavily on
the short side, which was regarded as
indicating o covering movement before
the end Of the week.
News was mixed and perhaps slightly
in favor Of the bear side, although in
dications that the impasse In Congress
over the tariff bill had been broken was
regarded as Of decidedly bullish sig
nificance. Steel production was esti-
mated at only rs per cent OF capacity
for the industry ct large this week,
against rs last week, although United
States Steel was reported as holding az
90. The Department OF Labor reported
o slight decline in industrial employ
ment In April. A marked increase was
shown, however, IN employment In the
building trades.
Reports regarding the California
petroleum situation, brought to the fore
with crude price cuts at santa re
Springs last week, were more assuring.
Among the more volatile issues, Case
sold up z points, then dropped more
than is from the top, when directors
declared only the regular dividend and
failed TO announce the expected split
up. Auburn Auto tumbled more than
10 points to q new 1880 low. Simmons
was depressed by an unofhcial earnings
estimate showine9a deficit for the first
quarter.
such issues as Westinghouse Electric,
ns-Manville and Eastman Kodak
lost points or more, and shares losing
3 or more included General Electric,
American Telephone, Public Service OF
New Jersey, Electric Power Light,
Consolidated Gas, American Tobacco B,
Ioews and Air Reduction. Such shares
as United States Steel, Standard OF
New Jersey, American Can and Radio
also sagged substantially.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, May 28.-Some remark
able figures have just been published
showing the growth of the aviation
business in the past few years. These
cover the increases in gross sales. in
exports, in the number OF miles flown
and In gross and net earnings. Those
who are favorable to the aviation group
feel that 1t has been well nquidated and
that during the stress Of the last year
the weaker units were eliminated, with
the stronger companies like United,
Curtiss and North American Aviation
in control of the situation, which they
should be able to stabilize.
The annual report Of the Fokker Air
craft Corporation. In which General
Motors has a considerable investment,
was published today. It showed 20 cents
share earned in 1929. The remark
able feature Of its balance sheet was
the total cash, call loans, and Market
able securities of $6,373,333 on. Deem
Der 81, compared with total capital
stock Of $5,73e,851.
