GERMAN SPEYER co.
PLANS TO LIQUIDATE
Decision to Terminate Financial
Business Is Attributed to
Family Reasons.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July l6.-The finan-
cial firm of Speyer q Co. announced
today that, according to cables re-
ceived from Berlin. the German
Speyer organization has decided TO
liquidate its business. The stock
holders of the German corporations
consist almost entirely of members OF
the Speyer family. II was understood
that while formal liquidation will
begin October /, next. the winding up
of current business has been under
way for some time.
The decision to liquidate the Ger
man companies, it was said, was due
to family reasons. Since the death
IN 1888 of Eduard Belt Won Speyer,
the senior partner in Germany, there
has been no member of the family
who could succeed him in the active
management of this banking business
The company was started more than
100 years ago.
Herbert Belt Won Speyer of Frank
fort, nephew of James Speyer of the
New York firm. still remains a partner
in Speyer & Co. None of the New
York partners of the firm of Speyer
q Co, it vas stated, is a member of
the German firm.

It was supposed that element 90,
heavier than uranium, might well be
the next step above uranium in ma
ture's combination of basic materials.
But the CZechoslovakian discovery in
dicates the heavy 90 stuff is more
closely associated with actinium than
with uranium.
DR.. Koblic states that it is probably
the parent of protactinium. These
different families, uranium. protac-
tinium and so on, are distinguished
by chemical differences. For example,
the actinium family, when it gets
down to lighter substances. includes
manganese.
The main reason why scientists for
years have thought there might not
be more than 80 basic elements has
been the failure to find anything
heavier than No. 80. Even the sur
faces OF the stars were doubtful
sources of anything not known on
earth, because spectroscopes show
what kinds of atoms exist on the
surface of any star whose light can
be seen through telescope.
Believed to Exist.
Physicists, however, had calculated
that within the hot interiors of stars
solid matter might exist 'in different
state" Particularly it was thought
that in star interiors matter might
be packed more closely and so form
substances heavier than uranium.
Support for this exists in the belief
that the companion star of Sirius ap-
pears to contain substance weighing
ton per cubic inch.
The pitchblende from which the
yellow salt was extracted produces
radium. DR.. Koblic estimates that
this pitchblende contains / per cent
of the element SO. This is held by
scientists to be a surprisingly high
percentage. The amount of radium is
smaller. But the high percentage can
be explained, physicists say, by the
possibility that the new element is
rather inert; that is. does not dis
integrate rapidly enough to call at
tention to its presence.

WINCHESTER, Va. July ia
crop OF around 100000 barrels of
apples this season Is indicated for
the winchester district, according 10
surveys made by growers and deal
ers who have visited orchards of Fred
erick and Clarke Counties. The esti-
mate for the State as whole Is
placed at approximately 1850, 900 BAR
rels.
Those who have inspected orchards
in this territory have found the fruit
to be making excellent growth since
recent rains added needed moisture TO
the soil II has also been observed by
them that the fruit is clean and free
of disease. which has been brought
under control by frequent spraytngs.
In view OF the Federal forecast Of
the shortest apple crop on record,
with the exception of the years 1907
and 1921, growers already are ex-
pecting to be in a position to obtain
higher price for their apples than
they have received in the last five
years. The July condition of the crop
throughout the country was reported
at 449 per cent of normal. Prospects
declined the past month in States
where drought conditions have been

WHEAT INCREASES

Yield Greater Than Was Antici'

CHESTERTOWN, Md, July 10
The yield of wheat on the Eastern
Shore is greater than was anticipated
earlier in the season, veteran farmers
assert.
Meanwhile, bumper crop of straw
is reported, one farmer using three
pounds of twine to the acre in bind
ing up his straw. The wheat is for
the most part free of onions and is
dry. Threshing rigs have been busy
in all sections of the wheat growing
area of the shore, including Talbot
County and northward.
But for a storm that hit fields as
the wheat was in blossom it is believed
the crop would have been a record
breaking one. The crop generally re-
ported on the Upper Eastern Shore is
the largest of several seasons.
The number of bushels per acre
ranges from an average of % bushels
in Talbot County to 80 bushels in
Kent County. In Cecil County 1t is
reported that farmers who signed the
wheat crop adjustment contract re-
ceived total of $27,758 up to the first

YelIou Salt, Believed Existing
Only in Stars, Is Discovered
Substance Extracted From PitchbIende
and Basis Is Heaviest Material EUer
Found-Supports Element 93.

Copyright 1884, by the Associated Press.
LONDON, July l6.-A pinch of yel-
low salt, made largely of something
science hitherto supposed likely to
exist only In stars, has been extracted
from pitchblende in CzechoSlovakia.
This salt, lis milligrams, or about
enough to season breakfast omelet,
is the rarest, newest and scientifically
the most precious stuff in creation. Its
basic substance is reported to be the
heaviest material ever found.
Supports Element No. SO.
The salt is the first tangible evi-
dence of the existence Of the long
sought and long doubted element No.
90. Fermi, the Italian scientist, re-
Gently announced he had created
artiflcially heavy substance that ap-
peared to be element SO, by bonn
harding uranium, the heaviest known
element, with neutron rays.
Fermis artificial substance mostly
disintegrated in IL minutes. There
was not enough to weigh or measure
except by atomic calculation.
The CzechoSlovakian matter, as an
nounced by DR.. o. Koblic in Nature,
the British official scientific journal,
is somewhat different 1t is not only
tangible, but does not belong to the
uranium family. 1t is a hitherto I'M
known form of actinium.
At the top of all the different kinds
OF matter, the three heaviest are
uranium, actinium and thorium. Each
is active--that is. it disinte-
CRATES ultimately into lead. There
are IS stages in uraniums disinte-
grafton, Is different forms which IL
assumes as its substances changes in
spontaneous radiation, or rays, one of
these is is radium.
10 Disintegrating Stages.
Actinium and thorium each take
10 stages in. disintegrating The
father of this actinium family is a
heavy element named protactinium

ness to uranium, which ranks as ele-

IN. R. A. TO CONTEST
EXCESS DISCOUNTS
Code Violation Laid to Shoe
Firms in Test
Case.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Whether a signatory to an N. r. A.
code can grant greater discounts to
customers than is permitted by his
code will be decided in another case
involving recovery act fundamentals
initiated by the Federal Trade Com
mission, it was disclosed today.
The Trade Commission complained
against Edward ]. Ramsey and several
shoe companies In which he is a di-
rector 1t charged Ramsey violated
the shoe code by granting discounts
greater than per cent provided In
the code.
The case was instituted by the COM
mission on the application of N. r. A
under a change in procedure which
enables the commission to act fol- N
r. A. without prejudice rather than in
the capacity of complainant.
Three Basic Tests.
Three basic tests of N r. A. poll
cies now have been started:
/. Under the rubber code three
members are charged with having re-
fused to file price lists with competi-
tors. as called for by the code. A
hundred or more major codes have
such requirements and an adverse de-
cision might disrupt most of them.
2. Under the ice code a member is
charged with having built an ice plant
and thus added to the capacity of the
ice industry without permission of the
code authority. Many codes have sim
liar provisions designed to prevent ex-
cess capacity.
3. The present case, under the shoe
code, involves discounts and, by in
ference. price fixing, since the ability
to grant greater discounts would make
fixed prices meaningless.
Seen Major Part.
Thus, the Trade Commission. on the
application of N. r. A., has laid the
groundwork for a series of decisions
that potentially could toss overheard
a central part of most N. r. A. codes
Large sections of industry insist price
filing is the major thing desired by
N. r. A. and there have been both open
and private assertions that elimination
of these provisions would disrupt COM
pliance with existing codes.
