for United States Treas
ury Group.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 27-Tht
week in the bond market opened today
with another great demand for high
grade issues The preference for these
led to new high prices for many Of the
United States Treasury obligations ano
for those of the public utility operating
companies.
The strongest of the Government
loans were the 3a4s, which advanced
nearly p by midday; the Treasury
4l.s, which were up -, with new high
prices on the Liberty fourth Az S and on
the Treasury As.
Some part of this buying was said
to be for the account of the banks tC
make their December 80 statements ap-
pear more attractive There was also
evidence that the proceeds of sales
of stocks and bonds of rather low
quality have for some time been going
into Treasury issues. The singular
fact is that with policy Of refunding
the two outstanding issues of liberty
Al per cent bonds there should be
such a willingness to buy them at their
present premiums and at the nominal
rate of return which they give
The issues of Consolidated Gas OF
New York, American Telephone & Tele-
graph. Commonwealth Edison OF Chi
cago Brooklyn Edison. Duquesne Light
and Public Service Electric & Gas were
all at approximately their best prices.
An interesting incident was the sale OF
General Electric 31a per cent bonds at
1927, or about the same price as was
quoted for the first Liberty 3las, the
one issue being taxable and the other
fli1ly tax pXpmDt
In the corporation list there was q
little better tone and a number of gains
in bonds that were heavy before the
holiday International Telephone issues
and those of the Missouri Pacific. Frisco,
Rock Island Chicago & Northwestern,
ST. Paul and Southern Pacific figured in
this group. United Drug SIS held Sat
urday's gain at q level 20 points above
the low of the year. Western Union
6ias recovered nearly all OF the loss OF
the end CT last week.
In the foreign list there was frmer
tone in German government. municipal
and public utility issues and some i'm
proyement in Argentine loans. Austral-
ian SIS were off fractionally, as were
Belgian ard Japanese issues.
The report of Armour & Co of Illinois
shows a 20 per cent reduction n the
outstanding amount of the real estate
AZ per cent bonds in the last year,
with current assets now S11 900 900 in
excess Of the amount OF these bonds

World Cotton Consumption.

NEW YORK, December 81 CP).-The
New York Cotton Exchange Service
says that world consumption Of cotton
during November totaled approximate
ly 1,159, 900 bales, compared with 1168,-
600 in October. The decline of less
than per cent compares with an
average drop of % per cent from 1925
to 1881, inclusive, but. the announce
ment said, this should not be con-
strued as indicating necessarily that
world consumption declined less than
seasonally from October TO November
since the number of working days in
October this year was less than usual,
while the number in November was
more than usual

REQUEST TO AID
BIRTH CONTROL
DRAWS PROTEST

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20. U.P)-
The will of the late Miss Viola
kaufman, who beoueathed her $780,
900 estate to the cause of birth con-
troll, was contested by a brother,
w. H. kaufman, and two nieces,
Catherine May Bassett and Grace
Birchard, in suit filed today in
superior court.
The relatives contended that Miss
kaufman was of unsound mind and
was under undue influence when
she made hte will.
While living here, Miss Kaufman
made her home in a cheap living
room in Salvation Army lodging
house. She was believed to be al
most pauper until she died at
the age of 10 during a visit to
Memphis, Tenn, last May 2.
Her will gave the entire estate
to the national committee on fed
eral legislation for birth control,
but provided that if this organiza-
tion should not be able to accept
the bequest, it should go to the
Birth Control Clinical Research bu-
reau Margaret Sanger, famous
birth control propagandist, was to
receive the estate if the bureau
could not accept it.
Miss kaufman provided in her
will that no more than $100 be
spent on her funeral and stated:
1T is my wish that there be no re-
ligious ceremony at my funeral, no
flowers and no clergy"

Topeka Founders
Under Dispute

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 20. U.P)-
A dispute as to whether there are
9 or 13 city founders of Topeka has
threatened to divide the Old Set
tiers organization here into two
warning sides.
The argument arose when John
Doane placed a 20-ton boulder in
one OF the parks and inscribed in
a copper plate the name of 13 city
fathers. Another old timer, Thom-
as F. Doran, became indignant
when he discovered Doane had
run in" some names in the list of
distinguished men. One group sid
ed with Doane and another with
Doran.
Thus the Old Settlers society has
an issue to dominate each of its
meetings.

SALARY CUT FOES
PLAN FINISH FIGHT
Bitter House Battle Also to
Be Staged Against En-
forced FurIoughs.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY,

A bitter fight in the House against
either the proposal of the President for
enforced furloughs without pay for
Government employees or the proposal
of the Special Economy Committee for
an IL per cent cut on all salaries with
81 900 exemption was promised last
night by some of the most active mem
bers who have already won notable VIC
tories against both the Republican and
Democratic leadership-or bipartisan
measures.
They put both the fiat IL per cent
slash and the staggered furloughs
without pay in the same class, declar-
ing that either proposal is a reduction
OF salaries that are already on the
starvation border line
we can defeat the IL per cent re-
duction proposal of the Economy Com
mittee," declared both Chairman Con-
merry Of the House Committee on Labor,
who has been directing the efforts of
labor leaders from 48 States who have
been making poll of members, and
Representative F. H. La Guardia. Re-
publican, of New York, who led the
fights that defeated the sales tax and
protected the interests of the postal
employees.
THE Presidents proposal is merely
a subterfuge, to do indirectly what can
not be done directly" declared MI.
