R. F. c. SUGGESTS
BANKING CHANGES
Amendments Would Permit
Purchase of Preferred
Bank Stocks.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

A suggested form of amendments of
the articles of incorporation of national
banks has been suggested by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation to permit
those institutions to sell preferred stock
to the recovery agency.
Under the suggested form, the hold
ers of preferred stock are given prefer
ence over holders of common, and will
receive cash dividends Of per cent
payable semi-annually-on February
and August /. Such dividends are cum
ulative. and in event of deficiencies
such distribution shall be made before
any dividend or other distribution,
whether In cash. property, stock or
otherwise, shall be declared.
Holders Entitled to Vote.
So long as any shares of preferred
stock are outstanding. no dividends or
other distributions. whether in cash,
paid or made in respect of the common
stock except out of the net profits OF
the bank
Met profits" under the suggested
plan, shall be determined for each six
months period ended on December 81
and June 30
Holders of stock of any class shall
be entitled to vote on all matters per-
tanning to the bank, one vote for each
share of stock of any class held by him.
However, in case as many as two semi
annual dividend payments on the pre-
ferred stock shall be in arrears, then
preferred stockholders are privileged as
class to vote twice the number Of the
votes to which common stockholders are
entitled. Furthermore, at any time
while the votes Of the preferred stock
are increased ss provided above, any
one or more of the directors, officers or
employees of the bank may be removed
for or without cause, and their success
sors elected by the affirmative vote Of
two-thirds of the votes to which the
holders of all classes of stock, voting as
one class, are at the time entitled.
First in Receivership.
In the event of receivership or
similar action, no payment shall be
made on the common stock before the
holders OF preferred stock shall be en-
titled to receive, for each share of such
stock held by them an amount equal
to the par value thereof, plus an amount
equal to all unpaid dividends thereon,
whether or not earned or declared, ac-
crued to the date Of payment.

Other Markets.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November l6.-Strength
in the oils featured the brisk and
higher closing on the curb exchange
today.
Humble Oil was one of the leaders,
reaching a new high as it advanced
more than points. International
Petroleum also scaled new heights,
thanks to buying by American and
Canadian investors, whose purchases
also lifted Imperial Oil to a new pin
nacle.
Metals followed the oils upward, with
Newmont Mining and New Jersey Zinc
leaders in this group. Declaration OF
81 extra on Chesebrough Manufac-
turing came too late to be reflected in
that stock.
Electric Bond & Share remained be-
low its previous close, as did Cities
Service and Consolidated Gas of Balti-
more, but American Gas g. Electric.
Gulf Oil and Standard Oil of Indiana
finished higher.
At the opening prices moved slightly
lower, but the list hardened before mid
day. with irregularity most noticeable
in public utilities.
Selling of the utility stocks was at.
tributed to switching operations. as
traders placed commitments in the
commodity shares as a better hedge
against imitation. An additional fac
tor was the decision of the directors of
Electric Bond & Share to omit the
dividend on the common stock. The
last declaration, / y per cent in COM
mon stock. was made last November.
The metal stocks, especially the gold
mines, were more active than earlier in
the week. Lake Shore Mines was helped
by declaration of the regular 50-cent
quarterly dividend and an extra of so
cents. the same as six months ago and
year ago. Tech-Hughes was turned
over in volume at firm prices. Hal

One hundred and thirty-two men be-
gan work on Monday morning at the

just compiled by the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce regarding money
spent by only convention people in
Chicago the last summer Credit is
given the American Legion convention
in october as being far in the lead of
all others in this respect.
Chicago business establishments and
the railroads received, conservatively
SOL ,875, 900 by the spending of 100000
persons attracted to conventions in
Chicago during the summer just past,
according to William j. Hennessy,
manager of the convention bureau of
the association.
Transportation, living expenses, en-
tertainment and miscellaneous pur-
chases are included in the survey. 1t
is stated that some of the conventions
drew from 5000 to 5000 persons, some
$4,000, and the Legion 100000. Hen
messy said the duration of most of the
conventions was three days. 1--WE con-
cluded that the confereeS remained
in the city an average of two days
more" he added. MANY persons
stayed week after their convention
had eneded, to the CONSERVATION of
hotel officials who had reserved their
rooms in advance to some one else in
the expectation of them leaving Some
LegionnaireS remained in the city sew
eral weeks after the rehabilitation of
their aSsemblage."
The following estimates of expendi-
lures were made:
Living necessities and minimum of
$1,000 a day; As cents
for breakfast; IS cents for lunch; SIPS
for dinner; 81 for hotel room; rs cents
for tips; 81 for cab, street car or bus;
$3.50 for entertainment, including visit
to the World Fair. Fair statistics es-
innate $110 was the average spent
there.
''We believe it logical that without
exception every one made some pur-
chases," Hennessy said. 1--WE figured
this item at SIS a person. This sum in
cludes cigars, cigarettes, souvenirs and
clothing"
1t was estimated each person bought
a $40 round trip ticket, as an average.
The Legion convention brought its
thousands into the city on Sunday and
they remained the four days of the
convention. Add two days and the
average would be seven, or an average
expense of $16,550,O0 plus 2,5OO,OOO for
transportation. If one adds some ad-
ditional dollars for the Legionnaires
and their friends who stayed more than
seven days, because they would be a
class that spend far above the average,
the total is easily more than the $780,
100000 which was the very conservative
estimate of the Chicago Legion con-
vention corporation.

and went to the front with rush
gaining a to lead before Aurora
could count The locals held an edge
in play during the entire first half, at
one time holding lead of 8 to 2 just
before the half closed.
The Aurora team presented tight
defense in the second half holding Ely
to one goal from the field and free
throw. The second half opened with
Aurora tying the score at 9 all. Ely
took the lead 10 to 9 and the range
team again knotted the count A field

but Aurora counted on a long shot to
again tie the score. With minute left
to play Aurora Gagged the winning
basket on another long heave. Riikola

the tying goal but the final gun went
of as he still had the ball in his

Both teams played a nice defensive
game which accounts for the low score.

of the game with 2 points. Jaeger with
5 points, Mogush with 4, and Maxi with

that he did not over-state the case.

others declare its provisions unduly

more important than the mere fact of
criticism is that it is being welcomed
