BULLS PUSH STOCKS
TO HIGHER LEVELS
Market Again Surges Forward
After Absorbing Profit
Taking Sales.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 10.-Bears
continued to pay dearly for their ex-
ceSsive gloom in today's stock market,
as the bull forces pressed on to new
high levels for 1881 for the third sue
ceSsive day.
There was pause for breath during
the morning, following q half hour Of
the most furious trading witnessed in
weeks right after the market opened,
but the advances were resumed by mid
day, and report by the United States
Steel Corporation showing large gain
in new business in January provided
fresh stimulus to bullish enthusiasm.
A handful of stocks in which there is
a limited supply for trading purposes
fluctuated violently. Auburn Auto shot
up $3.50 a share to $191, which is
almost double its January low of $101 SO.
It then lost half its gain temporarily,
but soon recovered. The spotlight was
next turned on j. I. Case, which scared
$40 q share. Industrial Rayon gained
about as much.
United States Steel sold up 50 to
$145.50, the best price of 1891.

INDIVIDUAL DECREE
SOUGHT ON RHEEM|
Trio of Creditors File Petition
Asking Lone Bankruptcy
for Their Trustee.

A petition seeking an individual
bankruptcy decree against Edmund D.
Rheem, executive vice president OF
Swartzell, Rheem & Hensey, was filed
today in District Supreme Court.
Rheem recently was arrested on a
warrant charging him with embezzling
mortgage notes aggregating $4,000,
which had been left with the bank
rupt mortgage house for safekeeping.
The bankruptcy petition against him
was filed by Carrie o. Allnutt, Cora e.
Higgins and Della E. Hopes, who al
lege that Rheem is insolvent and in
debted to them in excess of $500.
Held Personally Liable.
A violation of the bankruptcy law is
alleged against Rheem, because he Is
said to have attempted to prefer the
estate of Clarence B. Rheem, his father,
by making payment to 1t in excess
of $4,000 within the past four months.
All the petitioners, through Attorney
e. Hilton jackson, claim that Rheem
is personally responsible because as
trustee he released deeds of trust Secur-
ing notes held by them when he knew
the notes had not been paid, leaving
them without security for the money
they invested. Rheem was ordered to
show cause on February 26 why he
should not be adjudged bankrupt.
Adkins to Act Thursday.
It was learned Yesterday that Justice
Jesse G. Adkins will seek to clear up as
much as possible of the pending civil
litigation involving the bankrupt con-
Germ on Thursday.
In the meantime the Department of
Justice and United States attorneys
office are continuing their investigation
of the companys affairs. 1t Is ex-
pected they will go before the grand
jury this week.

Ship >Modernization Plan Hit
by French-PlaneS Cited
as Superior.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Opposition to the $50, 100000 battle
ship modernization program was regis
tered by Representative French, Repub-
lican, Idaho, today in declaring before
the House Rules Committee to under
take it would be IAN unfortunate mis-
take"
Mr.. French is chairman Of the House
Appropriations Naval Subcommittee.
He said high naval officers had begun
to believe "the battleship is not the
ship Of the fleet it was" ami added
aircraft and the submarine are taking
its place."
1885 Farley Cited.
AS the backbone of the feet, he said,
the battleship IS type that is passing
away" In view of the coming 1885
naval conference he held the $50 900, 900
to modernize the ships New Mexico,
Idaho and Mississippi should not be ex-
pended. He suggested they may be
dropped from service as result of the
conference.
Speaking in opposition to the request
Of Chairman Britten of the House
Naval Committee for preferred legisla-
tive status of the administration
sponsored measure, the Idahoan said
two-thirds of the members of both the
Senate and the House Naval Affairs
Committees were from sections having
navy yards and bases. He charged
they were influenced by the personal
self Interest of their constituents.
Questioned by Representative Mich
ener, Republican, Michigan, whether
the three ships had the speed, gun
range and protection Of modern battle
ships, Mr.. French conceded Great
Britain had ships that not only were
faster but could outshoot United States
battleships.
Reductions in Ships.
Later In the House, Mr.. French said
the annual naval supply bill provided
for a reduction from 242 to 1856 COM
missioned ships for the Navy In the
fiscal year 1882.
The bill, carrying 4,342 ,000, is
$50, 10000 less than expenditures Tor
the current year.
The reduction in personnel and ships,
he said, were in line with the reorgani-
cation of the feet under the London
naval treaty.
Mr.. French said it would be bad
move for this country to adopt policy
of building up to the limitations Of the
London Naval Conference. He said 1t
would cost half a billion dollars year
to maintain the feet, and cause other
countries to build up to the maximum
strength. Of the treaty.

7 AK LUXUR|ES,
BACHARACH
PROPOSAL.
Levies on Gifts and Sales
Provided in New Bill ..
BY Jersey Republican

A tax increase bill designed
to raise $75O,OOO,O00 revenue
a year to combat the Treas
ury's expected $2,000,OO0,0OO
deficit next June 30, was pro-
posed today by Representative
Bacharach (R.), of New Jer-
sey, member Of the House
WAYS and Means Committee.
The plan, revising his earlier
proposal, was advanced in the
face of a division among Con-
gressional leaders over the neces-
sity for increased taxes.
For Luxury Sales Tax
Bacharach proposed to increase
the surtax on all incomes Of $20..
900 or more, to impose a gift tax,
raise the inheritance tax and put
a sales tax on luxuries and I1on-
essentials.
The increase, he said, would
apply on incomes in the present
calendar year. The first payment
on the higher rates would be
made next March.
The Administration may at
tempt to reduce exemptions in the
lower brackets Of the income taxes
in order to increase the number
Of taxpayers. but little sympathy
has developed for this plan among
the returning members Of Con-
gress.
Leaders in Line
The attitude of Republican lead.
ers was expressed by Senator
Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, the Re
publican national chairman. He
said:
"The budget must be bal.
anCed If we are compelled to
take drastic measures. One
line Of effort Is tragic reduc.
tions, which are being made, to
reduce the outlay. The other
must be increase Of revenue
Senator Watson of Indiana,
Republican floor leader in the
Senate. and Smoot (R.) Of Utah,
head Of the Senate Finance Com.
mittee. agreed with Fess that in.
come taxes in the higher brackets
would be increased. They also
expressed anticipation of an In
crease in inheritance taxes.
