Delaware paid almost five times
as much. on a percentage basis. in

year as its payments in 1888. ac-
cording to the official report of the

eral taxes, including income and
processing taxes, during the cur
rent fiscal year.
Most of the $4.6S9,769 paid by this

A brief history of the way in
which Frank E. Samuel, who Will
address the convention, rose to be
National Adjutant, may be OF inter-
est to his comrades, it follows:
Frank E. Samuel, of Wichita and
Topeka, Kansas, national adjutant
of the American Legion, attained his
high place in the Legion after years
of work for the organization in de-
partment or national headquarters.
He bears the unique distinction OF
being honorary department adjutant
and honorary member of the Kan
sas department executive committee
of the Legion for life. Before his ell
ovation to the position of national
adjutant he was assistant natlonal
adjutant from January 1926. until
1882.
In. the position of assistant ma
tional adjutant at national head
quarters, Mr.. Samuel's duties fitted
him especially for the next highest
position. He had been characterized
as the general utility man of the
national organization, so scOmpre- |
hensive and varied had been his
work. In addition to his duties as
assistant national adjutant and di-
rector of general administration, ne
retained direction of national organ
ization and membership matters. I
The duties of the national adtutant, |
naturally, fell upon his shoulders In |
the formers absence.
Mr.. Samuel began his work in the /
Legion when the Legion, itself, be-

Democrats of the State ended
their hottest State convention battle
in recent years Tuesday night with
nomination of Wilbur L. Adams, of
Wilmington, representative in Con-
gress, for the United States Senate.
Adams polled 139 of the 210 con-
vention votes, "a more than requir-
ed for nomination, after former Fed
eral Judge Hugh S. Morris, of Will
mington, fatty refused to run. g.,
Mr. Morris was the popular choice
for the Senatorship. and after a
keynote speech praising President
Roosevelt, was conceded the nomi-
nation if he wanted it, Mr.. Adams
offered to step aside for him..
Norris Name Offered ~
The former jurist's declaration
that he could not accept the nomi-
nation because of the large corpora
tions he represents as legal counsel
was disregarded. When nominations
were finally presented after hours
of skirmishing, his name was offeF-
ed in opposition to that of Mr.. tAd-
ans.
AS a result, both withdrew. e.,
After Morris refused to run, Mr..
Adams name was presented again,
and this time was unopposed.- Al
though the convention passed reso-
lutions praising him for his. sup
port of the New Deal as a member
of the House, his hackers could mus

At the end of the first half hour
the market was quiet and barely

STOCKS IRREGULAR
AT WEEKS CLOSE
Few SpeciaIties Are Strong
Despite Tendency to
Take Profits.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,

NEW YORK, October 6.-Stock
Market enthusiasm cooled somewhat
today following yesterdays brisk rally.
Some traders were inclined to accept
profits rather than carry positions
over the week end and prices gener-
ally, displayed an indecisive tone. A
few specialties, however, exhibited
strength. The close was irregular.
Transfers approximated only 25o,000
shares.
The fact that the volume dwindled
appreciably under scattered realizing
was highly encouraging to market
analysts. although the opinion was
expressed in some quarters that the
list might shuttle about in a restricted
area during the next several days.
Technicians, while generally bullish
for equities, advanced the thought
that it was too much to expect public
buying psychology to be developed
over night. In addition, brokerage
circles reported that, for the moment,
the market is. largely an investment
rather than a speculative type. Gov
ernment supervision, 1t was said, is
principally responsible for this situa-
ton.
The disturbances in Spain apparent
ly had little effect upon financial mar
kets as whole, although foreign OBJ
servers were concerned over possible
repercussions, politically, in other
European regions.
General Cigar Jumps.
Bonds, while rather dull, continued
to maintain fairly firm undertone.
United States Government securities
set the pace for the loans department.
Grains and cotton held to slim grooves
most of the time. The dollar was
steady in terms of leading foreign ex-
changes.
Shares of General Cigar got up
more than 3 points to a new high for
the year and Mesta Machine advanced
l to 1884 peak United States Smelt-
ing gained about a point, but the
other metals did little. Air Reduction
also f1rined a point, as did American
Sugar. Refining.
American Telephone was a trihe
heavy, but such issues as United
States steel. General Motors, Chrysler,
Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck,
National Distillers, Santa Fe, Con-
solidated Gas, Goodyear and Inter-
national Harvester showed only small
fractional variations. Standard Oil of
California and Safeway Stores we're a
bit better.
Surplus to Be Used.
General Cigar, usually a quiet per-
former, became somewhat lively fol-
lowing the declaration of two extra So
dividends in addition TO two regular
81 quarterly disbursements. The lex
tras," it was stated, would be paid out
of surplus
Much interest was shown in the ac-
ton of the cigar company directors in
view of the fact that other corpora
tions have exceptionally large sur
pluses which they have been piling up
for several years. and which, it was
thought in some quarters, may attract
the taxing eye of Congress at the next
session.
