Stock Market Rose Sharply And There
 It Stayed To Close
Dealings Were Quite Active This Afternoon Most
 Severe Reaction of the Day When American
 Telephone Broke to 95Z

New York, March 23.-UP)- Related covering following passage of the beer bill brought the stock market up sharply in the early trading to-day, with dealings active. Despite acute dullness later prices generally remained higher at the close.
 One of the most severe reactions of the day occurred near the close when American Telephone broke to 95A off 4 point net. Earlier the issue touched 99 up 2h points from the previous close. Other utilities slumped with Telephone, but all of them joined 8 subsequent rally in dull turnover until the close.
 At the highs of the day the list was up l to more than 4 points. Wheat was carried up more than cent a bushel for the day and other grains closed with fractional ad- vances. Cotton, bar silver, and long list of other commodities gained ground.
 Allied Chemical touched 82 1-2 in the early trading whereit was up 3 7-S; American Can 59-3-8 up 2 3.4; Case 4S 3-S up 4 Is; Inter-

national Harvester 24 IA up 2 3-4s Sears Roebuck IS 7-8 up l f-Ss Western Union 22 1-2 up 2; Vest inghouse Electric 26 7rS up 2 5-S; Woolworth 29 3-4 up 1 IA and General Motors 13 up 3-4.
 Railroad shares were leaders at the outset and they also were a. mong the first issues to rally after each setback. Delaware & Hudson featured in gaining ability, while New York Central was again the active favorite. Union Pacific reached 75 up 3 1-8, declined to 72 and later rallied above that figure.
 Beer stocks staged fair-sized rally in the early trading. Fairly active bidding was noted in liquid carbonic, Owens Illinois glass, standard brands and Mengel Com- pany. Buying spread to the ale cohol shares and to issues whose companies would profit by return of hard liquors.
 Market news was light. The late announcement that Wisconsin Telephone company had reduced the dividend payment on its com- mon stock from $2 to $1.50 for the quarter accounted for the sell- ing in American Telephone which owns the issue 100 per cent.
 Indications of car loadings re. ports coming out thus far for the week ended March IS show a rise of only 9 per cent for that week. This is less than had been antfci- pated. However, the rails were still under the influence of the belief congress would enact favorable legislation for the roads shortly.
 Tobacco companies were aided by a pickup in cigarette produc- ton in February as compared with February. 1892. That gain, how ever, analysts pointed out, was the result of a drop in cigarette prices which turned the roll-your-own converts back to made-to-order smokes.
 Sales totaled 9S0,000 shares against 99O,000 yesterday.
 Dow Jones preliminary aver- ages: 30 industrials 58.06 up 1.20; 20 railroads 2S.34 up 1.27; 20 util- ities 21.27 up 0.32.
 Aggregate market value of 10 leading stocks totaled $4,876,713,- 501 against $4,S23,O14,154 yester. day, an increase of $53,699,347.

transaction "no doubt was done in connection with the income tax law" He carefully avoided the term "tax evasion" and there was nothing to indicate that the trans actions were not legal. The transactions were between the United Gas Improvement com. pany and the Associated Gas and Electric company. Both are large holders of stock in utilities doing business throughout the eastern United States. The procedure was this:
 Minority stock of the General Gas and Electric company, held by Gas Securities corporation, a United Gas Improvement company subsidiary, was bought by the As- sociated Gas ands Electric com pany.
 The Associated company then formed a concern known as the E G. A. Corporation and paid it $46,- 000,000 in return for stock This E. G. A. corporation stock then was traded to the Gas Securities corporation for the Gas Securities stock in the General Gas and Elec- tric company.
 The next step in the involved trade came when United Gas 1m- provment company borrowed the 46,000,000 which had been given by the Associated Gas and Electric company to the E. G. A. corpora tion. The United Improvement company gave its note for the money and interest was paid, but the interest was paid back to the United company by Gas Securities corporation.
 Profit on the entire transaction amounted to $9,300,O00. It was not taxable by the government because of the merger involved.
 garding another stock trade by the United Gas Improvement company, involving the United corporation, organized by J. P. Morgan and other banking interests in 1929.
 When the United Corporation was formed, large blocks of minor ity stock in the Public Service corporation of New Jersey and the United Gas Improvement company were held by the American Super Power corporation.
 United Corporation also had minority interests in the two conn panies.
 The American Super Power cor poration then proceeded to organ ize a concern known as the Public Electric Holding corporation. All of the American Super-Power cor poration's holdings in the United Gas Improvement company and the Public Service corporation of New Jersey were transferred to the new corporation.
 Then the American Super Power corporation transferred to the United corporation the stock of the Public Electric Holding corpora ton it had received in return for stock of the United Gas Improve ment company and the Public Service corporation of New Jersey.
 In return for this transaction, the American Super-Power cor poration received stock in the United Corporation.

 Of Two Mothers
Vincenzo Magro l2 and Philip Thomas l3, Missing One on Previous Occasion Left Home and Later Was Found Wandering in New York City

around the neighborhood failed to reveal any information concerning their whereabouts. While the mothers are undoubtedly greatly upset and anxious the police are not alarmed. They have it all fig ured out that the three lads will return home when they are hungry and tired of sleeping out.
 The attitude of the police is best explained in their knowledge that one of the two boys reported miss ing disappeared" on two previous occasions and wandered around the country. On his last unauthorized trip he was picked up in New York city and brought back by his par ents.
 The appeal to the radio stations for help reflects the anxiety of the mothers. The local authorities pre- dict that the lads will be home be- fore the end of the week, tomor- row night, if not tonight.

 Vandenberg was discussing the pending bill to admit non-member banks to the resources of the Fed eral Reserve system. Senator Ad- ans, dem, Colo, has offered an which would permit the system to discount non-member as- sets without previous examination.
 Senator Glass, dem, Va, inter- posed that the Adams amendment would enable thousands of rotten banks" to obtain federal reserve assistance.
 "They should not be permitted to avail themselves of it without examination" he said and alluded to one unnamed state in which banks other than national banks had not been examined since May 9, 1892.
 Perhaps I shouldn't say this on the senate floor," Glass continu- ed, "but the president of the Unit ed States wrote with his own hand the provision for thorough examin- ation. The federal reserve board, the secretary of the treasury and the senate banking and currency committee are agreed that examin- ation is necessary"
 Glass said two of the "outstand- ing banks" in certain states where no examinations have taken place In almost a year had obtined mil lions of dollars of the taxpayers' money from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation" He said these banks had from 300 to 500 correspondent banks.

 Millions of gallons of beer were flowing through chilled pipes to. wards kegs and bottles to-day, in the greatest brewing activity in It years.
 Braumeisters in Americas greatest brewing centers, New York, Chicago, Milwaukee and St Louis recalled thousands of work CTS to once famous plants, refur- nished with bright copper and new wooden vats.
 The New York, Chicago and Philadelphia offices of the federal industrial alcohol division were re- ceiving formal applications for. li- censes to manufacture a "three- two" beverage.
 Dry organizations, watching the activity, promised an appeal to the federal courts as soon as the first bottle of the new beer is put on the market, on constitutional grounds.
 A force of 66O federal inspectors was being dispatched to the vari- ous breweries to inspect the com- pleted product and vouch for it's alcoholic content.
 Another force, under the prohi- bition department, was tightening traffic lines into present "dry" states, where beer is forbidden to flow.
 Wheat rose briskly on the Chi cago market, because of the expect ed demand for beer-making ce- reals.
 In Chicago, advertising agencies, already accepting schedules for advertisements to be published after April 2, predicted the brew CTS will spend from $15.00O,OO0 to $20,000,000 in the columns of daily newspapers.
 Railroads, anticipating a heav- fer freight traffic, hoped to estab- fish new and attractive rates on beer shipments. A group of south western railroads joined in asking for reduced freight tariffs on "ale, beer, porter and stout"
 Double shifts will be established at the Jacob Ruppert breweries in New York, at wages much higher than in the pre-Volstead era."
 The probable price to the con- sumer in Chicago, St Louis and Milwaukee was set at 5 cents an S-ounce glass, 10 cents a bottle. and $1.20 a case of 12 bottles. as sold through grocery stores.

FROM THE
STUDY WINDOW
By OWEN PARKER

The sudden passing of Calvin Coolidge
made the world seem older. We were
sobered by the empty place against the
sky"
The following clipping entitled Honest
Motives, by a Mr.. Alexander, expresses
well our thoughts of Calvin Coolidge
Years ago Doctor Henry Van Dyke
wrote:
-Four things man must learn To do
II he would keep his record true:
Think without confusion clearly.
Act from honest motives purely.
Love his fellow men sincerely,
Trust in God and heaven securely"
Much is being written about Calvin
Coolidge whose passing the nation
mourns. The above verses from Van
Dyke may well apply to the New
Highlander vino rose by gradual steps
to the chief magistracy in the world
May also add a portion of a splendid
editorial from the Omaha World Herald.
I prize this editorial so highly that I
am giving it permanent place IN my
scrap-book."
Coolidge was liked because he
was hkeable; liked and respected for
the qualities that distinguished him and
set him apart among the public men Of
his day. He was so homely, SO salty,
so peculiarly himself In him were out
standing the traditional virtues Of his
own Vermont. He was simple, he was
sincere, he was frugal, he was i'm
peccably clean and honest. He in
dulged no airs, made no pretenses. He
knew how to be patient, he knew how
to be tolerant. He had a sense Of
humor, well restrained Behind MS out
ward Sourness was always the suspicion
OF smile. He had serene faith that
was unshakeable; faith in God. in his
country, in his fellow men, IN himself.
That was what made it possible for him
to be so thoroughly happy man. In
all the seething and frothing Of a
dawning new age he was unchanged
and untouched-an old-fashioned, keen
minded, simple hearted New Highlander
as piquant as Mark Twain's Connections
Yankee in King Arthur's Court"
Coolidge viii be missed His character
Like granite pillar was something as
surfing and immovable. America still
produces strong men. Now he lies
sleeping in his native state OF Vermont,
''pillowed on the loving breast Of her
everlasting hills" back to the home Of
his childhood, the soil of his fathers.
No marble mausoleum awaited his
coming, only simple grave Like his
fathers and his neighbors.
Warm summer sun, shine kindly here.
Warm southern wind flow softly here
Green sod above, lie hght-le light.
Good night, dear Heart, good night
good night.
