"Payment in Kind" Issues

LONDON, July 7.-An echo OF
the mad Monday which fol-
lowed President Hoover's original
announcement proposing a mora
torium on inter-government debt
and reparations payments sounded
through the European stock ex-
changes today as a result of the
accord reached on that proposal.
Prices on the London, Paris,
and Berlin markets advanced
sharply in response to the gem
eral optimism resulting from the
agreement to suspend debt pay
ments.
Trading Is Brisk
Trading on the London Ex'
change was carried on at brisk
pace throughout the day. Prices
opened fractionally higher and
continued the climb as the trad
ing session advanced. The Amer
ican section of the stocks list
was especially active on the up
side.
International Nickel sh a res
were in good demand, while oils,
mines, and German bonds made
substantial gains.
Prices doomed on the Berlin
Bourse and the Paris market re-

out last evening by Premier La
val. On the Berlin Bourse the
heavy industries made gains Of
S to 10 points and other shares
trailed along in the wake Of this
advanCe.
Scarcity of Call Money
The scarcity of call money and
the high interest it commanded
served as a checker-in to over
active bidding in Berlin.
The one exception on the Euro
pean market zone was the Bar
celona, Spain, Bourse, which
turned panicky following an an
nouncement that an important
bank in Catalonia Province had
closed it's doors.
The market movement in Spain
had no relation to the remainder
of Europe, however, as the Span

no attention to the course Of the

BROKERS ACCUSED
IN WARDMAN SUIT
Amended ReceiverShip Action
by Leslie M. Shaw Hits
''Invisible Control"

In an amended suit for receivership
of the Wardman Real Estate Properties,
Inc, Leslie M. Shaw, former Secretary
of the Treasury, accuses Halsey, Stuart
g. Co., invest rent brokers, with main
tanning an invisible control OF the de-
PENDANT corporation and with having
been instrumental in obtaining the ap-
pointment of three receivers friendly to
proposed reorganization scheme for
refinancing the company.
The District Supreme Court is asked
to set aside its order appointing Thomas
D. Carson, president of the Wardman
Real Estate Properties; Joseph P. Tum-
ulty, lawyer and former secretary Of
President Wilson, and Julius 1. Peyser,
lawyer and banker.
New Board Requested.
An entire new board of receivers is
requested. Shaw charges that Tumulty
and Peyser were both named on a re-
organization committee and Carson, as
president of the company. cannot be
considered as acting in behalf OF the
bondholders.
The time had not expired for Shaw
to amend his bill when Justice James
NJ. Proctor appointed the receivers on
an application Of the Central Union
Trust Co. of New York, trustee under
the bond issue of $16,oO0,oOO on 10
Wardman- properties, including the
Wardman Park Hotel and Carlton Hotel.
Through Attorney w. B. O'Connell,
the plaintiff in the amended petition
asserts that the bondholders will suffer
loss If the present receivers are con-
tinued in power and points cut that the
bonds of the corporation have already
dropped from par to Is cents on the
dollar.
Justice Proctor yesterday enlarged
the powers of the present receivers at
the request of Randolph P. Compton,
Scarsdale, N. Y, general creditor, so
as to allow him to take possession Of
100000 of personal property of the
corporation, which was not included
general receivership Of the corporation.
