Senator Glass, who had been
In and out Of the hearing, sud-
denly entered the discussion again.
AS he did so, Morgan moved
around an intervening table and
took q seat close beside Chairman
Fletcher. He had begun to take
an interest in the proceedings.
Glass asked:
''Who controlled the various
utility corporations in which the
major corporation (Unitedl had
hOIdings?"
'"The controlling ownership is
held by the general public in
all these companies. In some
instances, minor instances we

''NO sir. They have nothing

Suppose you exercise these

"They would stilI not affect

panies."
Senator Costigan D) of
Colorado asked Whitney II he
didn't confuse stock ownership
and control Of companies. He
said there had been instances re-
ported when q IL per cent stock
ownership was manipulated so as
to control.
Cites Howard Statement
whitney called attention to
Howard's statement that preSi-
dents of the utilities linked under
the United Corporation n-fre-
uuently conferred with him
(Howard) over questions OF
policy. He contended, though,
that Morgan never interferred
with the companies, adding:

ton. And we have never tried
to control It's policies"
The Progressive Senators on the
committee probed the Morgan con.
troll Of utilities through the United
Corporation. Costigan and Sena-
tor Adams Cd Of Colorado,
sought to show that minority
stockholders frequently controlled
corporation policies.
whitney admitted that the Nor
gan firms advice was sometimes
asked by the utilities corporation

market along with everything
else"
"HOw high did the warrants
gO?"
"Oh, up to 4O."
A memorandum, signed by
Thomas s. Lamont, a Morgan
partner, was introduced showing
the United warrants went to 467s
on July %, 1929. Morgan had
bought these warrants for 81
each.
100000 Sold In Week
The memorandum addressed to
Whitney spoke Of a "plan" to sell
the warrants on the market. On
the opening day, July %, the
memorandum stated $500 war
rants were sold.
whitney said 100000 warrants
were sold in the following few
weeks.
''What was the lowest price
received for those 100000 war
rants?"
"Just above 40"
''What was the highest you
sold those warrants at?"
1--WE received $47.17 on July
25."
'sNow these were the warrants
the ones you sold at q range
Of from $40 to $47-which you
acquired at . value Of 81,
weren't they?"
"That is technically true"
The Morgan firm sold the war
rants from July % to September
20, 1929.
Pecora said his auditors figured
Morgan. & Co., received $8,49O, 900
for the option warrants which had
cost 100000.
This was profit Of $8,290, 900
for the Morgan firm in one stock
in two months time. This was
the year Morgan partners paid
$11, 600, 900 in income taxes.
There was no obligation on

Whitney said that option war.
rants Of this kind were a "corn.
mon method Of financing"
He said he remembered one
other instance in which such
warrants were issued-by the Mo
hawk Hudson Power Company.
He added:
That was our first experi-
enCe. I think today that should
we have any warrant transac-
tiOns, there would be a time
limit to the option warrants.
We felt then IL was a perfectly
justifiable thing to have these
option warrants"
Whitney explained that he and
his partners were "firm believers
in the United Corporation and
thought that the warrants would
some day be very valuable" He
added:
"We did not acquire them
with the idea OF unloading IN
the market for q slight profit"
Morgan, still seated along the
rear wall, appeared disinterested
in the proceedings. He leaned an
elbow on a table and looked bored.
The other Morgan partners lis
tened intently to Whitney but
Morgan's gaze fitted around the
room. CouzenS asked:
'Why didn't you exercise your
optional warrants when this
stock went to $73?"
II don't know. We had q
great belief in them and while
we did sell 100000 of them we
thought the warrants had q
great value over . long period
Of time"
Whitney said the 100000 war
rants sold were authorized and
the stock bought by the holders.
This increased the capital Of the
corporation.
Dividends Continued
Whitney said United had con-
tinued to pays its So dividend on
the preferred stock and that cur
rent dividends on the common ran
about 40 cents a share. This div
idend, he added, was at one time
as high as rs cents.

american Indians Haze Their ':Panduu"

THE scattering Of the nameless stars in the

was due to Pandora-like curiosity ON the part

The Cochiti Indians found In the South

legends Of the origin of the world. This legend
of the stars is one Of them
After the flood which wiped out almost the
entire population Of the world, people came out
Of shipap, mysterious place of emergence In
the North, and once more occupied the land.
Among those to head southwark was . little
girl known as Kotcimanyako. To her the
mother Of the people handed a small white
cotton sack with instructions not to open It
until the destination Of the people had been
reached regardless Of what might happen.

Gasoline From Coal May Be Important

tends to support the hydrogenization Of
coal industry, whereby Britain IS able to
produce petroleum and petroleum products from
the output Of her own mines, IS Of great inter-
est because Of the future possibilities in this
baby industry.
Gasoline manufactured by this method Is
necessarily more costly than natural petroleum
gasoline, but it has proven satisfactory In its
use for gasoline burning engines.
The principal difference between coal and
petroleum, that is chemically speaking is found
in the ratio Of the hydrogen to the oxygen
atoms present. Coal has more oxygen.

carried At last however, like Pandora, she
became curious. As she journeyed her curios-
ity grew until finally she could stand no more.
Opening the sack, she discovered it was filled
with stars which hew out of the sack and scat
tered helter-shelter throughout the sky. De-
spite her best efforts, she was unable to re-
trieve more than few and these few she put
back in the bag and then went on to her ap-
pointed destination. When she arrived there
the bag once more was opened and the few
stars left we're placed IN their pre-destined
positions The others were forever out Of con-
troll
Because OF the action Of Kotcimanyako only
comparatively few stars are known by name.
Those which were properly placed were known
as the slingshot stars, the pot-rest stars, the
shield stars, known as the dipper to US. and
some few others. The rest remain nameless

The production Of petroleum products In this
manner is naturally costly and economically
there is no competition with natural gasoline.
However, in order to foster the industry, the
British intend to subsidize the manufacturers.
As time goes on and the industry grows, II
it does, the cost of production will naturally
come down for large-scale production always

methods no doubt will be discovered from time
to time.
An example Of this may be had in the heliun
industry The first helium produced cost as
much as $4,000 for a few cubic feet. Now

= literal sense. You will find directors

the boards Of banks all over the world.
On Japanese banks, Argentine banks,
Turkish banks. Heaven knows in what
banks you won't and a director from
Schneiders. Eugene Schneider himself,
the chairman, Is a director of the Banque
de l'Union Parisienne, which finances
the Banque General de Credit Hongrois.
Here is little plot, exposed for you,
which Is as villainous as anything in
melodrama. You will find 1t unob
trusively printed in that sober and
highly honored journal, the Manchester
Guardian, of December IA, 1881. The
Guardian referred, as follows, TO a
speech by Paul Faure, exM. P. for the
Creusot division:
'The Hungarian government obtained
a loan from the armament hrm Of
Schneider at Creusot. CThis loan was
unknown until it was discovered the
other day by the Finance Committee
of the Chamber) When Schneider's
o.And 70 ha roroid to HIM ey0u-
eminent could not produce the money.
Thereupon the French government lent
the Hungarian government the amount
necessary to repay the Schneider firm.
This money was transmitted to Hun
gary by the Union Parisienne, in which
the Schneider firm holds controlling
interest"
Just translate that paragraphs we
very reasonably may-to America and
England. How does the parallel read?
It reads like this:
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation
makes a loan to the British government
of 500, 100000. When the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation asks for its money
back, the British government refuses to
pay. Whereupon the American Govern
ment lends the British government $780,
100000 to repay the Bethlehem Steel
Co., and transmits this money to Eng
land, not by the Federal Reserve Bank,
but by a bank which Bethlehem Steel
controls.
That fictitious incident is a literal
parallel to the little devils game they
are playing in Europe. What would
happen if they played it in America?
One hardly dares to think.

scheme of its whole country mapped
out as a vast arsenal scheme which

I drove back to Dijon cursing. How
ever, even if they would not allow me
into their confidence, there were plenty
of other sources of information. For
some days I busted myself with an
examination of these sources. Here are
a few facts which may interest the
reader.
The factory at Creusot, from the point
of view of war material, is, strangely
enough, the least important. The chief
war factory is at Havre. It was acquired
by Schneiders in 1897 and has since
been enormously developed. There is
also considerable activity at the work.

LEGION IS PROPOSED
Martin For Adjutant Committee
Offers Plan to Revamp
Veterans Body

Proposal to revamp the state or
ganization Of the American Legion by
the present executive COM
mittee Of the veterans organization
and substituting larger group in it's
place will be made at the state con-
vention to be held next month at
Williston, 1t was announced Thursday
by the Martin for Adjutant" COM
mittee with headquarters here.
Under the present set-up the execu-
tive committee consists Of one man
from each of the three former con-
gressional districts. Under the reor-
ganization plan the state Legion de-
puties in each of the six judicial dis
tricts would constitute the executive
committee.
Contention Is made that this would
bring the state organization of the
Legion closer to the individual veter-
an and is in line with the proposal by
the Martin committee to Substitute
control from the bottom for control
from the top" Milton Rue, chairman,
said.
Proposal also will be advanced to
establish a state legion magazine,
which will be sent to every member of
the North Dakota Legion without an
increase in the dues to be charged.
This magazine will carry news of the
state organization, financial reports
and other information. Proposals and
suggestions from individual legion
naires would be feature of the pro-
posed publication.
Another suggestion made by the
committee is that arrangements be
made whereby the state organization
will assist individual posts in raising
money to finance their needs.
A legislative committee to speak for
the veterans on matters presented to
the state legislature also is proposed.
