NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-With at
tention directed to the serious de-
cline in railroad revenue through
pipeline and motorcar transporta-
ton, shares of railroad companies
broke sharply on the Stock Ex-
change today.
The remainder of the list with a
half dozen or so exceptions also sold
off in dull turnover. From time to
time some support developed for the
industrial leaders but they were
unable to hold these small gains
from the lows.
On the other hand the bearish
element did not Gee fit to press the
advantage given by the railroad
share weakness.
Railroads Drop
Bad news for the oil companies
In the form Of a gasoline reduction
at Toledo and curtailment of crude
purchases by Prairie Oil and Gas
failed to bring any more than nom
inal selling into the petroleum
stocks.
Reports of increases in both i'm
ports and exports of copper for Oc-
tober had an offsetting effect and
the copper issues ruled firm, several
making fractional gains.
In the railroad division New York
Central dropped to a. new low since
1926 at 127is, off % Atchison sold
down to 1861, off 81; st. Louis
San Francisco. 641s, off 1; Union
Pacific. 164i5. off 4: Southern Rail-
way. 63ia. off is. and New Haven,

Condition Critical
The association of railroad execu-
tives today said that the railroads
are now in the most critical situa-
ton they have experienced since
the transportation act of 1920 was
passed. They said plans were I'M
der way to ask congress to place all
forms Of interstate transportation
under the jurisdiction of the inter
state commerce commission, thus
bringing their greatest competitors
pipe line companies and motor
truck and bus companies, under the
same restrictions as the roads.
The stressing of the railroads
condition. together with issuance of
adverse earnings reports for Octo-
Der bearing out the statements of
rail executives, worked against the
carrier shares.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Share prices
were again driven into new low ground
for the year or longer on the New York
Stock Exchange today after wide and
uncertain fluctuations during the early
hours of trading.
The market opened lower, rose sub
stantially during the morning, a long
list of shares showing gains of 81 to

selling during the early afternoon. The
morning gain was entirely cancelled and
important shares generally declined 81

levels.
US. Steel, after selling up more than
50 to 1882, dropped below Sls2, re-
cording a new low for 1890, and getting
close to the November bottom Of $3.50.
American Tobacco B lost 81 in the early
trading, regained its loss and sold up
nearly $6. then sold of sharply.

27 AIRPLANES LOST
AS HANGARS BURN
Chicago Municipal Airport Blast
Damage Believed Over
100000.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Two hangers
and 81 airplanes, IL of them tri-motor
passenger planes, were destroyed by fire
at the Municipal Airport early today.
50, 900, 900.
The hangers destroyed were those
of the Universal Air Lines, Inc, and the
Grey Goose Air Lines, the latter under
lease to the Stout Air Lines. The fire
followed an explosion of undetermined
cause in the Universal hangar.
One of the ground men at the mile
square airport said he saw a spark leap
across the darkness at the rear of the
Universal hangar and that the ex-
ploSion followed. Almost at once the
building was in flames.
Several men. including pilots and me-
chanics, were in the building, but
escaped before the fire reached the
front of the hangar where they were.
They were able to wheel out five planes
only.
Every light at the airport, including
the boundary lights so vital to night
flyers seeking to land, were extinguiShed
when the fire burned away power lines.
Temporary lights were hurriedly placed
to prevent disaster to arriving mail
planes.
Offlcial announcement was made at
the Offices of the Universal Air Lines
that all schedules, both passenger and
mail planes, would be flown without in
terruption. To do this planes were
started at dawn from Cleveland, Kansas
City, st. Louis and Tulsa Upon ar
rival here they were to be serviced and
sent into the air on the regular routes.

SENATE ADMITS OPTIONAL DIAL
TELEPHONES IN MODIFIED ORDER
Glass Reiterates His Objections and Pre-
sents Mass of Letters Supporting
His Attitude.

The Senate today modified the order
barring all dial telephones from the
Senate end of the Capitol by author
izing the Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele-
phone Co. to install phones which may
be operated either with the dial or
manually.
1t took this action on motion of
Senator Swanson, Democrat of Virginia,
but not until after Senator Glass,
Democrat of Virginia, and Din, Demo-
crat of Washington, had again de-
nounced the dial system.
Glass Still Opposed.
Senator Glass, author of the original
resolution, reiterated his opposition to
the dials, but said that 80 long as they
don't poster me" he would not object
to the amendment of his colleague to
permit those who wanted the dial
phones to have them. Senator Glass
said he had never objected to the COM
pany introducing the dial system If it
continued the manual system also.

MELLON OPPOSES
GERMAN BOND BAN
Move to Prohibit Banks Pur-
chase Is UnSound, He
Tells House Group.
By the Associated pres.

BY the Associated Press
Secretary Mellon today told the House
committee on banking and currency
that he believed it against public policy
to adopt the House resolution design
ed to prohibit Federal Reserve, National
and State Banks from investing In Ger
man reparation bonds or other G rtifi-
Gates issued pursuant to the new plan
to settle Germany's war debts.
The Secretary said that under the
present laws Federal Reserve banks
have no authority to purchase such Sc
curities and that the resolution in so
far as they are concerned was mean
ingless. National banks, he said, are
limited to purchasing securities that
are marketable" under rules issued by
the controller of the currency.
Proposal Is UnsOund.
''I believe both Congress and the con-
troller of the currency showed sound
judgement and wisdom in dealing with
such legislation" Mr.. Mellon said.
They recognize that while National
banks are instrumentalities of the Fed
eral Government, they are operated by
private capital and by their officers and
directors elected by their stockholders.
The Government does not undertake to
manage the banks, and the wisdom of
placing upon them the responsibility
for their investments, with proper safe
guards, cannot be questioned. There is.
in my opinion, no more reason for Con-
gresS to say that a National bank
should not purchase a reparation bond
than to say that it should not purchase
a specific railroad or industrial bond.
To do so would place our Government
directly in the banks management. It
Is unsound and unnecessary.
ITO go further and tell q State
member bank that, regardless of State
law, 1t may not purchase a particular
security is not consistent with my con-
ception of our principles of Govern
ment as established by the Constitu-
ton.

FRENCH WITHHOLD
ACTION ON TARIFF
viii Await Text of Law for
Careful Study-Press
Fearful.
BY the Associated Press:

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, June 25.-The French Gov
ernment will wait for the arrival of
the text of the new American tariff
law in order to make a careful study
of it before deciding what oficial ac-
ton, If any, to take.
Basing its view on information re-
ceived by cable, the French press feels
that the laws effect on French ex-
portations to the United States viii be
far more serious than was indicated in
memorandum issued by the American
embassy on June 18, which said that
the average increases amounted to only
3,35 per cent on SO per cent of French
goods.
Pending French examination, it seems
likely there will be no signature of the
Franco-American agreement for the
avoidance of double taxation now be-
ing negotiated. The suggestion has
been made here that the United States
and France might reach series of ac-
cords on tariff charges for particular
commodities.

HOUSE PASSESPAY
CORRECTION BILL
Unanimous Vote Recorded in
Favor of Brookhart- LehI-
bach Measure.

BY unanimous consent the House to-
day passed the Brookhart-Lehlbach
bill, which had previously passed the
Senate, which undertakes to correct
injustices which have arisen under
the controller generals Interpretation
of the WEIGH pay act.
The House civil service committee
struck out the retroactive clause that
was in the bill as it passed the Senate,
so this measure now goes back to the
Senate for concurrent action on this
House amendment.
This bill means increases in salaries
amounting to $2,S75,OOo per year. 1t
affects some 10000 to $4,000 Govern
ment employees, of whom 10000 to
$4,000 are employed in the District of
Columbia.
About 40 per cent of the employees
coming under the provisions of the
Welch act received only one step-up in
pay. These employees are mostly in the
lower grades.
Under the decision of Controller Gen.
eral McCarl, "higher-ups" in the Gov
ernment service were allowed two step
ups and those in the lower grades re-
ceived only one step-up in pay. The
bill passed by the House today corrects
this inequality by providing an addi-
tional step-up for those to whom it was
previously denied.
Chairman Lehlbach of the House civil
service committe said today that as
soon as he can obtain recognition he
viii make a motion in the House to re-
call the pay bill in order to correct some
typographical errors in the specific rates
to be paid under this bill. The rates as
they appeared in the report on the
measure are correct, he said, but
through some slip-up a few Of the spe-
cific rates in the bill are higher than
the $50 step-up intended.

BRITAIN TO BUILD
THREE. CRUISERS
Six-Inch- h-Gun Vessels Likely to Be
$500 TOns-other Ships
Planned.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 25.-The first lord
of the admiralty today told the House
of Commons that supplementary esti-
mates in the governments 1890 naval
construction program would be pre-
sented shortly for three 6-inch gun
cruisers. nine destroyerS, three subma-
rines, four sloops and one net layer
and target-towing vessel.
Lord Alexander said orders for lay
ing down these vessels would not be
given until the last quarter of this
financial year and that only a small
sum would be required to be spent on
the vessels specified
II would emphasize" remarked Lord
Alexander, that these ships are re-
quired in replacement of others which
have passed the age limit and to en-
able the Royal Navy to carry out its
current duties in time of peace and
that the program has no relation to
those of other powers"
The first lord said he thought the
6-inch gun cruisers would be of $500
tons, but did not give the exact ton
mage. He said the ultimate cost of the
program, spread over three years, would
be about 100000.

took the position in a previous debate
that it was standing in the way of prog
reSS to remove the dial telephone. Sem
ator Dill contended that the dial method
is not new, and also argued there is
nothing progressive about 1t.
The action of the Senate in modify
ing its original order came after sew
eral previous attempts to change the
original resolution that failed during
the last week.
Gets Stack Of Letters.
Senator Glass held up stack Of let
terS he said he had received from peo-
pie throughout the country who agreed
with him in regard to the dial system
as nuisance" The Virginia Senator
said he referred to these letters to show
that the Senate was not eccentric in
the position it has taken.
Only few days ago workmen of the
telephone company completed the task
of removing the dials from all tele-
phones in the Senate ONCE Building
and the Senate wing of the Capitol in
compliance with the original order.

Full Committee Approves
Continuing District Ap-
preparations.
BREAKING OF DEADLOCK
APPEARS IMPROBABLE
Senate Managers, Favoring Twelve
Million Instead of Nine, Make
Futile Compromise Move.

Expressing the opinion that an agree
ment on the District appropriation bill
seems improbable" Chairman Sim
mons of the House subcommittee on
District appropriations today reported
to the House action taken by the full
appropriations committee earlier in the
day, when it approved the House joint
resolution for continuation of main
tenance appropriation for the District
government during the coming fiscal
year.
He said that the action of the full
committee was practically unanimous
This move was interpreted as demon
strating to the Senate the determination
of the House not to make any conces-
sions on the 100000 lump sum con-
tr1bution by the Federal Government
which has caused a deadlock between
House and Senate for more than a
month.
In his report Mr.. Simmons said that
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill for the fiscal year 1881, which COM
mences on July l, 1880 (next Tuesday,
has not been agreed upon in conference
The bill was passed by the House of
Representatives on March 81, 1890,
passed by the Senate on May IL, 1890,
and was sent to conference on May 10,
$780,
In Conference More Than Month.
"It has been in conference for a little
more than a month, and after re-
peated meetings the managers on the
part of the House and Senate have been
unable to reach any agreement. The
House bill contains 100000 as the
Federal contribution toward the munich
pal government, and this amount the
Senate has increased to $l2, ZOO, 900, and
a settlement of this difference seems
improbable.
I'm view Of the long-standing con-
troFersy over the question of Federal
contribution, the position taken by the
House and the very short time remain
ing between now and the date when the
District government will be absolutely
without funds the committee is of the
opinion that this resolution should pass. I"
This action in the House today fol-
lowed an Intellectual attempt by the
Senate managers yesterday to secure a
compromise on this measure. The
House attended the conference, at
which Chairman Simmons of the
House managers proposed that the con-
ference accept the House provision for
a $9,000,00 Federal contribution during
the coming fiscal year and that the

than one hour during the night they
had flown blindly, not knowing where
they were or in which direction they
were heading.
The flyers were finally directed by
radio to the landing field here. After
circling the field for considerable time
they asked that a plane be sent up to
guide them down. This was done and
the Southern Cross glided safely onto
the field.
The four aviators were In good con-
dition, and, although disappointed in
not being able to reach their goal, said
they. were determined to finish their
flight to New York.
After landing, Capt Kingsford- Smith
said the plane would never have reached
Harbor Grace but for the wonderful
radio" He said the plane would have
had To ny about waiting for the visi-
bttty to improve II 1t had not been for
the means of communication which per-
mitted the plane to seek aid from the
radio stations here. With but a few
hours gasoline supply in the tanks the
captain would not chance a guess at
what might have happened.
Hours Are Wasted.
Lost in impenet able fog, mist and
rain, which made direction above, below
and to each side indiStinguishable, the
airplane wasted several hours before
dawn trying to find its direction in the
neighborhood Of Cape Race, Newfound-
land
Probably four or five hours were
wasted in this wise, with q consequent
use Of precious fuel, so that when short
ly after 3 am, E. S. T., direction and
location we're established 1t was neces-
sary to seek land at once.
The plane had but ,208 gallons of
gasoline in its tanks when it left Port
Marnock, Irish Free State, sufhcient for
3S hours flying. This time would have
been up shortly after noon today. When
at am, E. S. T., the plane still had
not reached Cape Race, which was l 100
miles from New York, it was calculated
that 1t would have to do better than
120 miles an hour to reach its goal
before exhausting its fuel supply.
The speed previously had averaged
about IS miles per hour. With q di-
minishing fuel load a greater speed for
the remaining distance to New York
might have been expected, but head
winds up and down the coast, varying
from to 20 miles an hour in velocity
would have countered this advantage. 2
Battle with Sleep.
