-. Thornton, president of the Greene Cananea Copper Co.,, was q sham and pretense."
 Ryan was a close friend both of Mitchell and Thornton and it was through his original counsel that Mitchell made his deal with Thorn ton.
 Daniel T. Bergin. office mana ger for Hornblower & Weeks, brokers. testified that Ryan had S1,4SS shares of Anaconda in seven accounts with his firm on Decem- Der "A. 1890. This was worth ap- proximately $2,214,000 at the mar ket price.
 An attempt by Max D. Steuer. cross examining, to elaborate on this testimony, brought anw object ion from U. s. Attorney George z. Medalie which was followed by a whispered conversation between the opposing attorneys at the bench. It was nearly 45 minutes later that taking of testimony was resumed.
 Testimony offered by Daniel T. blower & Weeks, stock brokers, LhlO0Sh WllOll thO ti&liSaStAOh WeAS completed. showed that on May A., 1891, Thornton sold $500 shares of Anaconda Copper stock he had purchased from Mitchell in Decem- Der of the previous year, and that on the same date. Mitchell pur- chases a similar amount.
 Mitchell had sold his stock to Thornton at $27 a share. He re- purchased it at 26 5-S and the dif- ference was taken care of" so that the sale price of December and the purchase price of May were identical.
 In one of his numerous objec- tions, Max D. Steuer, chief coun- sel for Mitchell. argued that it could not be said that Mitchell re- purchased the stock, since the cer- tificates were sent to the Guaranty Trust company. in return for that institution's check for s20O, 000.. supplemented by Mitchelrs check for the difference, and the stock was thus physically delivered" to the trust company. in whose pos session it remained until December of the same year.

companies. Of the 23 issues that disappeared, 12 were stricken off because of failure of the companies to furnish the necessary informal tion; three issues matured or were called; six issues of two companies were removed because the com panies increased their debt above the legal limit; and, only two issues of one company lost their legal position by reason of failure of the company to earn the required mar- gin over bind interest. The re- suit of the extereme business de- pression of 1892 villas far as l can make out-remove the bonds of only one important company, al- though there are of course, several close to the edge. Note, however, that even the one goat among the sheep, cast out in 1882, is still some distance from default, while the important company likely to go off the legal list this year is earning its charges by an amount that would comfortably insure the legal status of the bonds of a rail- road company.
 Company after company, during a year of bitter distress--with our major industrials commonly incur ring large deficits-have earned from two to four times fixed charg- es, in the electric, gas and telephone industries. While the utilities cannot go quite the way of the railroads, they can be squeezed to death between rate re- auctions at the bottom and taxa ton at the top. But, after all, are not the American people very much in the same position--be- tween reductions in wages and in- creased taxation.
 ITO sum up, do not think that the holder of any sound operating utility bond need have any. fear of i'm impairment of his investment. as a result of rate cutting or taxation. Under anything that could be called fair rate regulation and taxation, such operating utilities have dein- onstrated their ability to earn enough to maintain the integrity of their debts under any conditions much short of industrial prostra- tion." k. ftg

Swampscott, Mass, May 25.-- Primary reasons why operating utility bonds have resisted deflation were enumerated here to-day be- fore the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks by F. ". Henshaw of New York, an expert upon the subject. He said in part:
 Looking at one of the usual charts showing the trend of bonds from 1881 to date, it will be seen that the prices of second grade rails follow a line resembling vertical cross-section of the Him. alaya mountains, while high grade rails and industrials more close ly resemble the slopes of Mt Wash-- ington. At the top is Q stout bridge across the canyon which dips in the center like a suspen- sion bridge. According to the par ticular chart that. have in mind, an investor who bought an equal number of the public utility bonds selected therein, at the highest av- craze price, and sold them at the lowest average price during a period of two and one-quarter years would have suffered loss of about 11N per cent of his capi- tai; at to-day's prices, he would lose about 7h per cent. In simi- lar transaction in the selected in- dustrials, the loss would be approxi- mately 35 per cent and 2S per cent, respectively.
 "Some facts as to legal utility bonds in the state of New York may be of interest. Utilities in that state have been legal only since March, 1928. The original list of legal bonds was largely ten- tative, since the banking depart ment had not had time to pro- cure the necessary information. Counting all bonds that were either approved or tentatively suggested there were 225 issues of S7 com panies. On December 31, 1892, there were POP legal issues of 73
