CONVERTIBLE BOND
PRICES ARE HIGHER
FOREIGN Dollar Credits Also
Improve-New Offer
ings Small.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, July 29.-Bonds fiuc-
tuated within narrow limits today and
there were a considerable number of
small declines, but in general the list
was firm, with gains outnumbering
losses in the convertibles and foreign
dollar credits.
Money rates were unchanged, though
there was a somewhat smaller supply
on hand. Volume was somewhat above
the extremely low total of money.
New capital issues consisted of sim
gle offering, $l.000,000 Birmingham Gas
Co. first mortgage per cent bonds, due
May /, 1859. They were priced at 81
to yield $50 per cent.
Anticipating a higher time money
rate before the end of the week, United
States Treasury bonds, prime railroad
mortgages, public utilities and industrial
issues dropped a shade. Among these
were New York Central As. Southern
Pacific 4l2s, Union Pacific first As, Great
Northern rs, Standard Oil of New York
412s, Standard Oil of New Jersey SIS,
Philadelphia Co. SIS, Utah Power 81
Light SIS, Liberty fourth 4hs and
Treasury 4I4S.
Convertible issues, particularly those
of the railroads, reflected the steady
advance of stocks. Baltimore & Ohio
412s Q960), American l. G.. Chemical
512s, American International 51as,
Commercial Investment Trust 5l2s,
Philadelphia & Reading Coal g. Iron
IS, Chicago g. Northwestern Az S,
Southern Pacific 41as Q969) and New
Haven IS illustrated this trend.
st. Paul adjustments were again the
active feature of the second grade rail
list. These bonds, which had been
driven below so, have been active for
weeks. st. PaulS earnings continued
poor through June, but estimates look
ing for substantial recovery in the
late Summer and Fall have caused some
speculative buying of the bonds, and
they have recovered over points, add
ing another fraction to the gain today
Frisco AIS we're also actively higher, as
were International Great Northern adj
juStments, MisSouri-Pacific As, Western
MARYLAND As and Boston & Maine SIS.
InduStrials such as National Dairy
Products 5I4s, Goodyear 5s. American
Sugar Refining 6s and Shell Union IS
made small gains, but there were de-
clines in American Natural Gas 612s,
Pathe rs, Anglo-Chilean Nitrate IS,
Dodge Brothers IS, u. S. Rubber SIS and
Richf1eld Oil IS. Anglo-Chilean bonds
have been affected by reports that the
new copper developments in South Al
RIGA may prove an effective check on
the Chilean Copper trade. Traction
bonds were quiet, but strong.
There was more purchasing of for
eign dollar bonds than has been the
case recently and there were definite
gains in South Americans. French,
Belgian, Italian ana Austrian issues.
Dealers report a considerable demand
for the high yield South Americans,
such as Brazil 61as, Colombia IS, Peru
Us, Antioquia "a" rs and Chile IS from
investors who are willing to accept only
reasonable security in return for a fat
income on their capital. Royal Dutch

MOTOR SHIP HOLDS
CONSTRUCTION GAIN
New Type More Popular
Than Any Other for Com
merCiaI Uses.
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
The maritime structure of the world
is becoming materially changed as
motor driven vessels generally continue
their steady advance over all other
types of merchant ships combined.
A Department of Commerce survey
at the end of the second quarter of 1880
indicated that nearly SO per cent of all
merchant construction under way in
shipyards throughout the world was of
vessels to be run with internal-combus-
ton engines, as compared with less than
so per cent in the previous quarter and
sos per cent at this time last year.
Furthermore, while the total motor ship
building at the end of the June quarter
was only approximately 10000 gross tons
less than in the previous quarter, the
total for vessels of all other types COM
bined showed a decrease of nearly
100000 tons.
The contrast between the last two
quarters is shown by the following f1g-
ures in gross tons;

World total. .......... s,O57,7s5 3,2e5,s2s
At this time lest year only 1892 900
gross tons of motor vessels were under
way, as compared with l ,406, 900 tons OF
all other types of merchant ships.
The trend to motor ship construction
in the shipyards of Great Britain and
Ireland now has grown to point where
almost 90 per cent of their building is of
this type, whereas year ago motor
vessels represented only 40 per cent of
the output in these countries. For the
other maritime nations, taken collec-
lively. 65 per cent of the present pro-
duction is motorized tonnage. as COM
pared with so per cent year ago. A
comparison of these groups is shown
by the following figures: Motor yes
sels-Great Britain and Ireland, S31,-
159 gross tons; other countries, l,089,-
346 Other types-Great Britain and
ireland. 10000; other countries, 576, 1926.
While the total tonnage of motor
ship construction showed decline in
the United States and Japan during the
last quarter, gains were reported for the
other countries. Only about Is per
cent of the shipbuilding in the United
States is of motor vessels, as compared
with abuot 20 per cent at the end OF
the previous quarter. Comparative
figures of motor ship construction in
various countries during the last two
quarters are reported as follows by the

NEW MOVE MADE
TO OBTAIN FERRY
Chesapeake Beach Railroad
Answers Objections of
Claiborne Line.

Opposition on the part of the Clai-
borne-Annapolis Ferry Co. to the pro-
posal of the Chesapeake Beach Railway
to establish a ferry service between
Chesapeake Beach and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland has occasioned the
presentation Of new brief by the
Chesapeake Beach Railway, in which
the urgent need of such service for
Southern Maryland is strongly set
forth.
The Claiborne Annapolis Ferry's OPP
position, as presented in exceptions
taken to the report of Examiner Ralph
r. holster of the Interstate Commerce
Commission contended that the Inter
state Commerce Commission did not
have jurisdiction over the application
for the new ferry service; that the rail-
way company's charter did not Eyermit
operation of a ferry, and that the pro-
posed service would not be needed.
COmpany's Reply.
The railway company's reply points
out that due notice was given OF It's
application and that no opposition was
shown except by the existing ferry
company. The brief points out that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has Jurisdiction under the interstate
commerce act of ferries used by Or OPP
Grated in connection with railroads,
and that the Public Service Commits
sion of Maryland has indicated that 1t
is not interested in the proceeding. The
railway charter is quoted in support of
the view that 1t has the right to operate
ferry.
AS to the need of the proposed serv-
ice. the railway company's brief cites
the history of the Claiborne Annapolis
ferry as evidence of the financial sue
cess and popularity of ferry service on
Chesapeake Bay. Between 1922 and
1929, that company, the brief asserts,
converted corporate deficit" of $2l6,-
900 into a corporate surplus of $243,-
600 indicating net profit of SASS, 900
| in seven years.
The Claiborne-AnnapoliS ferry has
| also put into service two new large
boats. which according 10 the railway S
brief, have been purchased out of earn
/ ings.
Outlets Needed.
| The Claiborne-Annapolis line, con-
| tend counsel for the railway company,
scarcely taps the territory south of the
! Choptank River This territory is a
| large producer of fruits. vegetables and
| other perishable food products and II
cannot be denied that 1t is in the pub
lie interest that every protection should
be afforded an expeditionus and salts
factory outlet as well as choice oil
outlets Nor can it be denied that the
proposed ferry route will shorten both
time and distance in relation TO the
Washington market via applicants rail-
road as well as by auto truck.
Under present conditions the producers
of periShable food products on the East
ern Short are deprived of sufficiently
quick access to the Washington mar
ket."

JUDGE LYLE To
SEEK POST OF
CHICAGO MAYOR
Arch Enemy of Criminals
Wishes to Finish Job
of Drive on Gangs.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Chicago's
complicated mayoralty race became
more turbulent today with the en-
trance of Judge John H. Lyle, mill
tant anti-crime campaigner, on a
drive out the gangsters' program.
I'm going to finish the Job I've
started" Judge Lyle said in an
nouncing his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination. THAT job is
to purge Chicago of the criminal
gangs that infest it.
Judge Lyle already has two COM
petitors for the nomination, Mayor
William Hale Thompson and
Charles v. Barrett, county reviewer.
Anton Cermak, chief of the Cook
county board of commissioners, is
the only Democratic candidate.
An alliance" of Republican lead
ers who hope to defeat Mayor
Thompson by throwing their sup
port to one candidate has been con-
ferring for more than a week.
Known as Beau BrummeI
Judge Lyles name was on their
list of possibilities but it was re-
ported that he was opposed by sew
eral factions.
Lyle, known as Beau Brumme1,
veteran rst-nighter of the thea
ter and opera, and arch-enemy OF
criminals, said he had been request
ed to become a candidate by liter
ally thousands of citizens"
Il hesitated because of the work
already am doing to remove crime
from Chicago" his announcement
continued. THE mayoralty Office,
however, is the one spot where all
the lines that touch on crime and
racketeering converge.
With this in mind, and believ-
ing that as mayor I promptly and
completely could finish the work
that I have been engaged in as
judge, have decided to become
candidate"
Prohibition Is Blamed
Indicating that one plank in his
platform would be the divorcing of
crime and politics, Judge Lyle said
that as mayor he also would insist
on using policemen against profess
sional criminals and not for break
ing into homes and undertaking to
regulate private lives"
Judge Lyle several times has been
quoted as saying that prohibition is
responsible for Chicago's criminal
gangs, which battle for the. right to
dispense liquor in certain sections.
Judge Lyle was originator of in
stituting vagrancy charges in a cam
paign to ''harass" gangsterS and also
started the system of holding gang
leaders on 'prohibitively high" bail
bonds.
