Because the act was not signed by

MANY NEW PEAKS
REACHED BY BONDS
SteeIs and Utilities Tend
Upward in Closing
Minutes of Day.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 22.-Strength in
rails, especially second grade, and in
oils characterized the bond market to-
day. The former group registered many
new high prices for the year or longer,
speculative buying being based On
earning improvement.
Along with these trends during early
dealings there was weakness in German
loans, particularly those of the govern
ment and Reich cities. There was also
brisk buying of wide list of high
grade utilities, most of this demand
emanating from one firm that always is
q big buyer for institutions, and a con-
tinuation of the demand for railroad
equipments.
Held Hopeful Sign.
This latter development is encourag
ing at this time, if precedent be any
guide. because rail equipment certificate
buyers are always the most conserva-
tive investors. Always the first group
to sell on any sign of danger, such as
flrming interest rates, they are usually
the last group of purchasers to re-enter
the market.
The long list of junior carriers tina.
recorded new peaks during the fore
noon included the Nickel Plate 6s and
AIS, St. Paul adjustments and Interna-
tional Great Northern adjustments, the
Chicago g. Northwestern 4As, and
Denver g. Rio Grande Western As.
The lowered rates on 60-day time
money, which now is quoted at q per
cent, or down Il per cent, came as no
surprise to the bond market in view
of the demand for short-term high
grade issues, ranging from United
States Governments and railroad equip
ments to high-grade utilities. This
development indeed had been forecast
by the earlier tape actions of such
securities today.
Although dealings in United States
Governments, up to mid-afternoon,
were twice as large as in the preceding
session total trading in bonds ran only
slightly ahead of Wednesday until the
final hour.
Metal Issues Buoyant.
Buoyancy of metal issues, notably st.
Joseph Lead, which at 109 was up 2l2
points and at peak for the year, re-
newed strength in speculative petroleums,
the Az point gain in Colon OIL 6s TO
new heights being an Outstanding oe-
velopment, and softness of coal loans.
like Consolidation Coal of Maryland IS
of 1850, were featured in the fourth
hour.
Strength of Swiss francs lifted that
country's 5l2 per cent bonds to new
tops. Advances in Bethlehem Steel
refunding SIS, Inland Steel 412s of 1881,
and similar high-grade industrials took
place along with similar rises in Kansas
Gas g. Electric 4 1as, Metropolitan Edi-
son 415s, Detroit Edison IS of 1852 and
other medium to high grade utilities, in
the closing minutes. When such utility
demand was not fulfilled a somewhat
lower level of power and light issues
was sought Just at the close con-
siderable irregularity was noticeable in
issues that previously had been strong.

WASHINGTON. June 29.-Mys-
terry of 1880 stock transactions
which established loss of $117,584
and was a factor in enabling Otto
H. Kahn to avoid income tax in
that year was dispelled in part to-
day when the little banker told SEN
ate stock market investigators that
he disposed of the securities to. his
daughter, Mrs. Maud E. Marriott.
Were these stocks sold directly
to your daughter and not through
any exchanged" asked Ferdinand
Pecora, committee counsel.
yes" said Kahn.
Under persistent questioning, Kahn
revealed he had sold stocks to his
daughter or other members of his
family at the end of other tax years.
Every year?" asked Pecora.
II am not certain how frequently"
Kahn replied.
The banker said the sale Dec. 80,
1880, was in connection with crea-
ton of new trust fund for Mrs.
Marriott. explaining that she ex-
ecuted an assignment of the stocks
returning them to him in March,
1881, but that for purposes con-
nected with the trust fund the as
signment was dated Dec. 81, 1880.
Kahn said he sold the block 90

shares, to his daughter at the mar
ket price for cash, but that neither
cash nor check passed between
them. The payment was made by a
transfer of credit on the books of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
A treasury department field agent
challenged the transaction in April,
1882, but the bureau of internal
revenue held it to be legitimate,
Kahn continued, and ordered that
the deduction remain.
Pecora emphasized the fact that
no cash changed hands.
Mrs. Marriott, said Kahn, paid the
full market value for the stocks
and that she approved the deal
fully.
Kahn testified that it was his
annual custom to sell substantial
blocks of securities during the last
week of the income tax year.
Were those sales to take tax
losses?" asked Pecora.
Tax losses is an ugly word" the
witness replied.
L suppose the words tax losses
will be abolished forever when you
get through here" Kahn added.
Il hope so" said Pecora.
Kahn said he believed that the
capital-profit-loSs provision should
b, removed and that some provision

FACE LOSS OF
TRACTION LINES
Hundreds of Miles May Be
Abandoned Under
Receivership.

Abandonment of hundreds of
miles of traction lines operated by
Indiana Railroads is predicted as a
result of the receivership into which
the traction company has been
placed.
simultaneously with the aban-
donment, it is expected that a re-
organization and strengthening of
the traction holdings of the Mid
land United Company will follow.
Lines which will be abandoned
have been named as the Indianap-
oils to Ft. Wayne line, via Upton
Peru and Huntington, and the In
dianapolis to Louisville route
through Franklin, Columbus and
Seymour.
The suit for receiver, which re-
suited in the appointment of Bow
man Elder Tuesday, was brought by
the General Electric Company al
leging that the Indiana railroad has
incurred large operating losses.
Reorganization of the traction
systems is expected to retain only
those lines which can be operated
prof1tably, it was stated.
