There is also another valuable
feature in connection with this
policy. in that after the policy
has been in force for three years,
1t will automatically carry itself,
without further payment of prem
ium on the part of the insured,
for l3 years longer and should the
insured die in the meantime, the
full amount of the policy would
be paid without deduction for un.
paid premiums. After the fourth
year, the policy will carry itself
for Is years, etc.
This policy is written by prac-
tically any and all life insurance
companies organized under the old
line legal reserve plan. While the
above rates are given on a policy
for $4,000, larger or smaller
amounts are the same proportion
ate cost.
The same policy, at age 35, writ
ten on the 20 payment plan as
fully paid up in 20 years. would
cost about 1888 40 a year and par
ticipate yearly in the same pro-
portionate dividends and also the
same proportionate amounts of
cash surrender, loan values, etc.

Planned by TGpLiIl

Plans for a new Eastern trunk
line were outlined to the Inter
state Commerce Commission to-
day by Frank E. Taplin, Cleveland
capitalist, during the hearing Of
the application of the Pittsburgh
and West Virginia railroad to ac-
quire the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad.
Taplin said the new system
would consist of the Wabash. Le-
high Valley. Western Maryland,
PittSbursh and West Virginia. and
the Wheeling and Lake Erie rail-
roads. The line would be under
one control. he said, either by
leasing or by the exchange Of
stock. as the commission may de-
sire.
Taplin said he and his brother,
C. E. Taplin, expected to put $685.
0O0, 900 in the proposed new or
ganization, and it was planned
to raise 10000 900 additional by
the sale of stock to present stock
holders of the Pittsburgh and
West Virginia.
He said in the event the project
went through, he expected to be
the operating and financial leader
of the system.

The outlines of a proposed new

by Frank E. Taplin, Cleveland
railroad magnate.
Taplin disclosed that the ac-
quisition of the Wheeling and

other units, Taplin said. He pro.
posed a single control, effected
by exchange of stock or lease,
as the commission might prefer.
He expects to be the operating
and financial head, if the plan
is carried out. Taplin said he
and his brNther expected to put
$25, ,000, 900 into the enterprise,

ACTIVITY HERE
REFLECTSN. Y.
MARKET
UnderCover Feeling Pervades
in Local Financial Field
When Trend Is High
By JOHN e. NEVIN, Jr.

A remarkable change comes
over the financial district Of
Washington when activity is ram.
pant in the stock market. No
matter which way an active
market is running, there is always
a feeling of suppressed excitement
and worry.
During the morning session
of the market today the report
vent through the financial dis
trict that the market was on
another rampage and those in
terested flocked into brokerage
houses to watch the progress Of
the mart. as reported by the
various ticker agencies.
After yesterdays break a num-
ber of margin calls were issued
by the brokers. One broker aptly
remarked that it was necessary
that they issue the calls in order
to protect their own interests.
He said that the market had
slumped to such a low price
trend that it was necessary.
Additional calls we're issued this
morning when the downward
trend OF the mart continued.
Investment bankers and II
nancial experts here are frankly
puzzled by the action Of the
stock market although they de-
clare they hope for betterment
within the next few days. A
number Of active traders sold
short yesterday and made con-
siderable profits from the deals.
Experts show that there are
many very good buys during the
present sessions, due to the low
prices of the stocks but they add
that no long term buys should be
contemplated.
A report of one Of the largest
investment trusts in the country
will reveal large profits within
the next few days, rInnors in the
local financial field say. 1t is
believed that the profits of the
institution will Surpass previous
records. A large amount Of the
stock is held locally.
The Washington times., 1930-06-17

These dividends average about
$14925 a year, which is deducted
each year from the annual pre-
MUM of about $615, thus making
a net average annual cost Of
about $465.75.
The total net payments, there
fore, paid to the company in 10
years time, is approximately $4,-
660. At that time, the insured re-
ceives a fully paid-up policy for
$4,000, payable at his death, and
this policy also continues to draw
a dividend each year, although
there will be no further payments
required on the part Of the in
sured after 10 years.
Can Cash Policy
Although the insured has only
paid to the company, at the end
of 10 years, the sum of about 81
$50, he can cash his policy in, if
he desires to do so, at that time
Cor borrow on it at a low rate of
INTEREST," the sum of $5,045. 80,
which is over $685. more money
than he has paid to the company
and he has been fully insured for
$4,000 for 10 years in case he
might have died.
During the time this policy is
being carried, as outlined above,
the following amounts can be bor-
rowed any year on call at a low
rate of interest:

POLICY IS

Policy Is Paid in Full at End
Of Ten Years for Face
Value; Experts Wrote It
BY FRANK F. LOOMS

A limited payment life insur-
ance policy particularly the so
called "ten payment life," is one
which is largely overlooked by the
business man and probably be-
cause it is seldom brought to his
attention. In many cases, how
ever, it is really one Of the most
attractive contracts written, espe-
cially for a man between the ages
of IS and so years. at which time
Of life his earning capacity is
generally at its height.
The ten payment life is a pol
icy on which the insured pays the
premiums for 10 years only, at
which time the policy is fully
paid up for its face value.
Dividends Paid
At age 35 such a policy for
$4,000 costs about $6l5 a year.
If written on the annual dividend
basis a dividend would be paid
to the insured each year about as

He alleges that he relied upon
the bank officials for advice on m
veStmentS, and that they. from
time to time, rendered such advice.
Three bonds of the Smith COM
pany, he declares, were bought for
him by the bank without his con-
sent, but believing the securities to
be sound because they were recon-
mended by the bank, he accepted
them and later bought four more
bonds on the advice of the bank
officials. Later, he AYERS, he in

CODE IS HIT

Public hearing for considera-
tion of a revision in the code
governing installation of artificial
refrigerating machines was petit.
toned of the District Commits
sionerS yesterday by the Opera.
tive Builders Association.
The existing code is SO worded,
the association contends, as to
make it practically impossible to
install multiple units without
violation of the law. The code is
designed to protect careless per-
sons against accident, and di.
rects that the evaporating units
of the machines shall be Suffi-
GENTLY strong to turn the end of
an ice pick, which, the aSsocia'
tion contends, levies too high a
cost on the building of such
units.

the multiple unit type of the ma
chine, was filed by Rufus S,

OFFICIALS
Abatement Pleas Date
Agreed to as Defense
Cites Lack Of Readiness

Hearing Of pleas in abatement
to charges against officials of the
F. H. Smith Company was post
pcned until October 6 in District
Supreme Court today.
Argument on the pleas which
was to have been held today was
postponed after defense counsel
had strenuously objected to at
tempts on the part Of the Govern
ment to bring the case to an early
trial.
Defense attorneys declared that
they have not had sufficient time
to prepare their case and said
that they were not ready to argue
the pleas in abatement today.
Assistant District Attorney Neill
BurkinShaw finally agreed to post
ponement Of the hearing with the
stipulation that all demurrers and
other bars to trial must be filed
by the defense Immediately after
the hearing of the pleas in abate-
ment. Upon these conditions.
Justice Joseph w. Cox granted
the postponement.
With postponement, hopes that
the case against the Smith Com
pany officials would come to trial
on October 8, which had been
expressed by Department of JUS
tice agents. apparently went
aglimmering.
Because it will probably take
several days to hear the pleas.
there now seems to be little pos

for an early trial will be realized.

Shops To SHOW
FURNISHINGS

Heads of local wholesale and
retail establishments are opening
in Washington the first National
Home Furnishing Style Show.
which viii be held simultaneously
in furniture stores throughout
the country, beginning tomorrow
and closing October 4.
The purpose is not only to pre-.
sent to the public the latest de-
signs in furniture, but to discuss
with visitors their problems of
selecting the proper furnishings.
The various local stores have
spent several weeks in prepara-
ton for this show and probably
will remain open late in the
evenings to accommodate the
vast number of visitors expected.
Statesmen connected with the
style show are especially equipped
says j. Philip Hermann, general
chairman of the style show COM
mittee, who explains that these
statesmen have just completed a
course in the art Of home fur
niShing.
Ross Crane, one of Americas
foremost authorities on how un-
interesting rooms may be done
over at small cost, with the
proper combination in pattern
and color. says draperies are q
prime element to be considered in
furnishing a home. Rugs. pillows
and a lamp or two give the room
the soft appearance so essential
these days. Crane says furniture
styles offered these days never
go out of vogue.
