SEAL SUSPECTS
WATERING'
Of STOCK
Records to Be Studied for
Evidence of Initiation in
Chestnut Farms

An effort to discover how the
goodwill of the Chestnut Farms
Dairy jumped 10000 in 16 days
is being made today by Elwood
Seal, counsel for the Senate Milk
Investigation Committee.
Seal returned today from New
York, where he conferred with Of
ficials of the National Dairy Prod
ucts Company in an effort to
learn if they overvalued the good
will of various companies, pur-
chased by them, when testifying
before the Senate committee, and
undervalued the same goodwill
when applying for listing of the
stock on the New York Stock Ex.
change.
Three Figures Used
Applications for stock exchange
listings, submitted to Seal by A.
A. Stickler, treasurer of the Ma
tional Dairy Products Company,
valued the goodwill of Chestnut
Farms at $2,76O.O9 as Of December
81, 1927. A year ater the value
was given as $190,762.66.
But at the Senate hearing, A.
w. McCarty, secretary of Chest
nut Farms, testified the good will
was valued at $1,000,00O as Of
January IS, 1929, just 16 days
after the date given in the stock
exchange application.
Seal says he will study the
statements given him by Stickler,
to determine if any other dairies
showed such huge increase in
good will value at the time Of
pprchase.
Gave Stock for Diaries
Stickler also told him. Seal said,
that the National Dairy, with the
exception of two or three minor
purchases, never paid any cash
for the various dairies it &C.
quired, but paid for them in
stock.
The Senate counsel will study
the record of these transactions
to determine if the stock was
"watered" during the transfer
process and if values were listed
properly.
Stickler, McCarty and j. N.
Brawner, president of Chestnut
Farms Dairy, probably will be
recalled to testify when the Sen
ate committee resumed the milk
hearings later this month, Seal
said.

COOPER OFFERS
NEW PLAN To
OPEN BANK
Scores Treasury Officials for
Refusal to Allow Him
to Reopen

Undaunted by the 20-day set
back of his District Supreme
Court suit to force the Treasury
to relicense the United States
Savings Bank, of which he is
president, Col. Wade H. Cooper
today prepared to take his fight
direct to the depositors of the
bank.
Yesterday Justice Jennings
Bailey granted Treasury counsel
20 days in which to answer
Colonel Cooper's suit for manda-
tory injunction to compel the
Comptroller to allow the bank to
reopen and soon after Colonel
Cooper reached the decision to
circulate his reopening proposal
among the depositors.
Will Buy Stock
Colonel Cooper, it is understood,
will agree to purchase additional
stock in his bank in order to boil
ster it's capital structure, if such
additional stock is found to be
necessary.
He insists at the present time,
that it is not necessary to buy
additional stock as the capital
structure of his bank is unim-
paired. His proposition will be
that officials of the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation commit
themselves on a loan on sufficient
of the banks assets to allow it to
reopen on a basis of more than SO
per cent immediate payment.
Scores Treasury Heads
In a statement issued late yes
terday in which he excoriated
Treasury officials for attempting
to force his bank into the Hamil-
ton merger, Colonel Cooper de-
clared he had gone to the Comp
troller's office with $4,000 in ne
gotiable securities which he Of
fered to place in his banks capt.
tai if it was allowed to reopen,
Although this amounted to almost
a 100 per cent assessment, Colonel
Cooper said, the offer was refused.
Scoring the "insincerity" of the
Treasury in keeping his bank
closed and declaring he is tired
of "quibbling." Colonel Cooper
said:
81 believe that I shall even
tualIy succeed in getting the
United States Savings Bank re-
opened under the plan above
outlined. Unfortunately under
existing statutes the office of
the Comptroller of the Currency
has very wide powers and it is
necessary, under the l.w, to
force him to act where, without
any good reason at all, he is re-
fusing to do so.
81 regret as much as anybody
that these delays, OccasiOned
solely by the Treasury Depart
ment, give that department 20
days in which to keep the de-
pOsitors of the bank out of
their money"

imp IN D. c. DAIRY VALUATION PRO3ED
Per Spanish Custom, Puerto Rican Coed
Lives Secluded College Life In Capital
Senorita at G. w. u.
Likes Chaperone,
Spurns the Boys

It's just an old Spanish custom,
transplanted to Washington.
The custom in question is that
of secluding the daughters of
Spanish and LATINA m r c a n
households, so that until they are
married they are never for mo-
ment alone with any man.
And the transplanting of the
custom to Washington, of all
places, has been accomplished
through the person of Senorita
Dora Ramirez de Arellano, the
beautiful daughter of a wealthy
Puerto Rican sugar planter, who
is now studying at George Wash
ington University.
No Smokes, No Drinks
Senorita Ramirez de Arellano
maintains in this city the same
rigid rules of conduct in force in
her far-away West Indian home.
She lives here closely chaperoned
in private family. She does not
smoke, drink or dance. And, above
all, she does not go out with boys.
And she is one of the most at
tractive goods on the G. w. cam
pus. Black-haired and dark
eyed, she is a typically charming
and vivacious Latin beauty.
Speaking excellent En- g lis h,
with just a trace of Spanish
accent, Senorita Ramirez de Ar
ellano explains that in Puerto
Rico the school books are in Eng
lish, and the teachers mostly
American, although the students
speak nothing but Spanish.
She is junior at George
Washington, majoring in business
administration, a most unusual
line of study for a secluded Latin
American girl. The reason, she
says, is that she likes mathe-
matics and accounting. She says:
maybe I shall need it some
day."
Likes Business
She would like to go into her
fathers business. But since this
would be unusual for the daugh-
ter of a well-to-do plantation
owner, the achievement of her
ambition seems remote.
The lovely senorita is not the
only member of her family in
Washington One of her several
sisters, zorahayda, is in the first
year of high school at the Vista
tion Convent here. Zorahayda's
name. it is explained, comes from
an old Moorish fable. Her own

evenings when she missed Dick

he left Lake City. He added that
there would be twenty at the board

and a number of school teachers.
Was it jealousy that Eve felt when
she read that sentence? She had
pictured Dick as living in a mans
world entirely This was his hrst
reference to the school teachers.
Eve spent Thanksgiving day with
Mrs. Penney. They attended serv-
ices at the Little Stone church to-
gether and then boarded a trolley
which took them TO the artists
home. Mrs. Penney had rented the
second floor of a two-family house
near the college her daughter at
tended. Eve could not refrain from
complmenting her on the attract

a very difficult job, but it will not do the
