THE SUN, BALTIMORE, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1927. payment $50 for the loan of an ordinary block of 100 shares overnight. The Stock Exchange continued its policy of "hands off." Having never admitted that a corner existed. there was little reason for the exchange authorities to any specific action today, as the action of the market went far to correct the situation. The board of governors held its regular weekly meeting.
but it was announced that only routine business was transacted. Three Railroads Seek Stock Conversion Permit Washington, Feb. 9 (AP). Three trunk line railroads sought the Interstate Commerce Commission's permission today to make new issues of comton stock which the carriers claimed could not represent any increase in their outstanding capital, but would alter financial structure. The Wheeling and Lake Erie asked approval of an issue of 227,276 shares of new common, which would be exchanged for a like amount of outstanding- preferred and prior lien stocks.
in order to correct a shortage of its common shares which has created considerable disturbance on the New York Stock Exchange during the past week. Western Maryland In Group. The Western Maryland proposed to do almost exactly the same thing in the issue of 100.000 shares of common stock to be exchanged for second preferred stock in the railroad at the of holders. The Baltimore and Obio recently announced its purchase of nearly all the second preferred issue of the Western Maryland from John D. Rockefeller, but no particular stock market disturbance has accompanied the transfer.
The Erie Railroad is seeking to carry out its agreement with holders of Series bonds, of which about $19,000,000 are outstanding, and their owners are entitled at any time before October 1 next to convert these bonds into common stock of the Erie at the rate of $50 per share. The company asked permission for an issue of 392,542 shares new common stock with a par value of $39,254,000 to make the exchange. Md. And Pa. R.
Shares Advance On Local Market A sudden spurt in the market value ol Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad stock yesterday attracted attention to this eighty-mile line, not on its own account. but because of its possibie relationship to the larger railroad realignments which have marked the last week. On small trading upon the Stock Exehange-337 shares of the 20.000 shares outstanding-Maryland and Peunsylvania sold up to and closed at a gain since the last previous sale on record. It is understoed that a larger amount of stock was disposed of between brokers without being recorded on the exchange. Just who is purchasing this stock and possibly trying to acquire a working control local bankers do not surmise with any degree of conviction, although one of them remarked that it would seem to be of more use to the Peimsylvania than any other road.
This reason lies in the fact that the Maryland and Pennsylvania charter not only carries it to York, where there is physical contact with the Pennsylvania, but also permits it to build from its present line in Towson. "to the east bank of the Patapsco river." Permission Held Valunble. This permission the road has never sought to utilize, but it might be of value to interests financially strong enough to exercise it. The value to the Pennsylvania would lie almost entirely in the opportunity to rebuild the line throughout and use it to relieve the pres. ent trafie congestion on the Northern Central branch of the Pennsylvania.
This branch includes a stretch between York and Baltimore. Further value in the Maryland and Pennsylvania lies also in the possession ot a terminal, such as it is, within the city of Baltimore. It is the only terminal of the kind not now in the hands of a trunk line, and as stich is not without interest to railroad operators. Use of that and the charter permission to build "to the east bank of the Patapsco." vague as it is, may be of as much importance as the eighty-mile line to Tork. B.
And A. Stock Also Aetive. In the meantime there has been moderate activity in the stock of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electrie Railway, which has appreciated considerably in recent weeks. Rumors have connected it with the Western Maryland, and there has been something in the way of substance to justify the rumors. There is a physical connection between the Western Maryland and the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis at Westport and this has been put to service for some time, the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis carrying into Washington a large amount of coal which was brought to Baltimore over the Western Maryland.
This traflic has been carried on at night when the road's passenger business was small. Any large carrier interested in acquiring the Western Maryland consequently would be interested in the possibility of continuing this freight trafie beyond Baltimore into Washington. There is general mystification as to who controls the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis, and there is a suspicion that it is no longer the Cleveland group represented by George T. Bishop, chairman of the board. Who is in control may be decided at the next annual meeting on March 28.
It is possible that at that time, too, the question of whether the Consolidated Gas Electric Light and Power Company will acquire the Annapolis and Chesapeake Bay Power Company, which the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis controls, will be settled. Mayor Undisturbed By Western Maryland Deal Charles C. Wallace, City Solicitor, said jesterday that any move to waive the conditions of the ordinance of 1902 selling the city's interest the Western Maryland to the Fuller syndicate would have to originate with the City Council. The ordinance prohibits the sale or lease of the road to any railroad center- Loree Formerly Headed B. And Railroad He Now Is Fighting With Support Of Pennsylvania Interests He Was Made President In 1901-Later Joined Rock Island At Big Salary.
I. F. Loree, president of the Dela-, ware and Hudson Railroad and the opponent of the recent merger of railroads in which the Baltimore and Ohio played such a prominent part. is a former president of the latter railroad, having served in that capacity from June, 1901, until January, 1904. When the Pennsylvania Railroad secured control of the Baltimore and Ohio Mr.
Loree was a vice-president of the Pennsylvania system in charge of operations Pittsburgh. With the backing of officials of the Pennsylvania Mr. Loree was elevated to the presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio to succeed John K. Cowen. This appointment did not meet with favor in Baltimore at thetime.
since Mr. Cowen, with Oscar G. Murray, who later sueceeded Mr. Loree as president of the Baltimore and Ohio, as receivers. had pulled the rond through the trying days of its trouble and had effected a successful reorganization.
which resulted in a larger volume of business and started it on the road to become the great trunk line that it is today. Used Pennsylvania Methods. As soon as Mr. Loree took office he began instituting Pennsylvania Railroad methods in management aud operation. Important positions were filled by friends of Mr.
Loree who had served with him on the Pennsylvania. Finally, it was said at the time, Mr. Loree decided to reorganize the traflie department, of which Mr. Murray was the head. Mr.
Murray, necording to report, told Mr. Loree that he was the traffie manager and that he would either continue in that office independently or leave the road. He did not retire. and while many chauges were made in the personnel of the operating department during the reign of Mr. Loree none took place in the department.
Known As Hard Worker. Mr. Loree, as the president of the Baltimore and Obio, was known as a hard worker, with a determination to execute and carry out his own ideas. As a result, it is said, he never became popular in Baltimore. and his leaving the railroad on 1.
1904, was devoid of any demonstration. In becoming the Baltimore ing in Baltimore or Philadelphia, or its consolidation with any such road. "I will not diseuss legal staus of the ordinance unless City Couneil the or the Mayor ask me for an opinion," Mr. Wallace asserted. Seen Nothing Oat Of Way.
Mayor Jackson said that while be was not disturbed by the purchase by the Baltimore and Ohio of virtually a controlling interest in the Western Maryland he had requested Mr. Wallace to keep in touch with the situation and advise him of any action it might be necessary or desirable for the site take in the matter. "I see nothing out of the way in the purchase by the Baltimore and Ohio of Western Maryland stock," the Mayor asserted, "and fail to see how the eity will suffer from it in any way." Howard Bryant, President of the City Council, said yesterday that if necessary the Council would make an investigation to determine whether any further legislation was necessary to permit the Baltimore and Ohio to sequire control of the Western Maryland. Couneil To Meet Monday. Any action by the Council would be taken next Monday, it was said at the City Hall.
It may take the form of a resolution requesting Mr. Wallace to study ordinance accepting the bid of the Fuller- syndicate and submit an opinion as to the legality of the sale of the stock to the Baltimore and Ohio in the circumstances. "I feel that the Couneil should be prepared, if necessary, to protect the eity's interest in this matter," Mr. Bryant asserted. Trade Body's Stand Reealled.
More than a year ago the Baltimore Association of Commerce, through its board of directors, passed resolutions opposing the absorption of the Western Maryland Railway by any competing rail system. This action was taken, according to George W. Clautice, retary, following reports at that time that the Baltimore and Ohio was dickering for control of the Western Maryland. "The sense of that meeting was that Baltimore needed the three independent trunk lines, and although appreciation was expressed for the Baltimore and Ohio for what it meant and had done for this eity, it was felt that its absorption of the Western Maryland system would eliminate an important rail terminal here." The regular meeting of the directorate will not take place until February 24, Mr. Clautice said, but it is possible that James Carey Martien, president, may call a special meeting sooner if there seems need for it.
This, he added, probably will be settled at the staff meeting called for next Thursday. 2 Navy Planes To Survey Atlantic And Gulf Coasts Start To Be Made From Philadelphia Soon-Cuba And Isle Of Pines Included.

NEGRO VALET TELLS OF HARDING VISIT Witness Says Late President Was Guest Of H.M. Daugherty In Washington Hotel Suite. OTHER NOTABLES CALLED Part Of Session Of Alien Property Trial Devoted Efforts To Trace $140,000 In Liberty Bonds. New York, Feb. 9 (P).
-The Government called a surprise witness in today's session of the Daugherty-Miller trial. Arthur Brent, Negro butler to three Presidents, took the stand late in the day to give an intimate picture of tifu in the eight-room suite which Harry M. Daugherty, former Attorney-General, occupied in the Wardman Park Hotel. Washington, with Jess W. Smith, who ended his life there.
Brent did not testify at the first trial. Rendezvous Of Prominent Men. Brent, who served as butler to Presidents Roosevelt. Taft and Wilson, said that from, Oetober, 1921, to January. 1922, the suite was the rendezvous for many prominent men.
including President Harding, who once visited Daugherty there. Join T. King. one-time Nitional Republican Committeeman, from Connecticut, and Thomas W. Miller.
former Alien Property Custodian and codefendant with Daugherty, were also visitors, he said. The suite, he said. was occupied by Senator Guy D. Goff before Daugherty rented it. At none of the meetings, Brent said, under cross-examination, was the name of Richard Merton, German metal magnate, or the American Metal Company mentioned.
Become Federal Investigator. Daugherty and Miller are charged with defrauding the United States of their honest and best services in connection with the return to Merton of $7,000.000 of assets of the American Metal Company which were seized during the war as enemy-owned property. Brent became Daugherty's valettypist after the former Attorney-General moved from "the little house in street." where he also lived with Smith. When no longer needed as valet-typist, Brent said he was inducted partment of Justice as an investigator. Butler At Street House Called.
Brent was preceded by Walter D. Miller, Negro butler at "the little house in street." He told of President and Mrs. Harding being diners at the house and of visits by other prominent persons; Miller and King among them. Miller set Judge John C. Knox, defense counsel, and spectators to laughter with one of his replies to Emory R.
Buckner, United States Attorney. "Now just tell the jury," Buckner said, after Miller had told of seeing Jess Smith in various parts of the Department of Justice Building, "whether there was any spot at all in that building where you didn't see Jess Smith." "The basement," Miller replied. Deposit To Daugherty Shown. The morning session of the trial was devoted to tracing, indirectly, $140,000 in Liberty bonds to Daugherty's account the Midland National Bank at Washington Courthouse, Ohio. Vera V.
Veail, assistant cashier of the bank, resumed the stand and under Buckner's severe questioning traced through the bank's records the crediting to Daugherty's account of $2,125 interest on Liberty bonds. It was shown that John T. King cashed the coupons in New York April 28, 1922. The next day the sum they brought credited to Harry M. Daugherty's account in the Midland Bank by his brother, Mal S.
Daugherty, president of the bank. The deposit slip bore the notation "New York, $2,125." The bonds and coupons were part of the $391,000 in Liberty bonds Merton gave King for aid in obtaining allowance of his claim for the assets of the American Metal Company. Turns Attention To Miller. With this the Government, contending it had indirectly traced to Daugherty $140,000, turned its attention to Miller. Calling witnesses in rapid succession, the Government showed that Miller obtained transportation vouchers from Washington to Philadelphia for February 5, 1923.
On that day Vincent A. Carroll, an attorney in the Alien Property Custodian's Bureau, exchanged two $10,000 Liberty bonds-bearing serial numbers of two Merton gave King-at the Federal Reserve Bank in Philadelphia. He was given twenty $1,000 bonds in exchange. Another witness was called to show that Miller had a transportation voucher from Philadelphia to Wilmington, that day. Then Delbert Gallagher, cashier for Lair, Dissel Meens, a Wilmington banking and brokerage house.
testified that fourteen $1,000 bonds, bearing serial numbers of the twenty handed Carroll earlier in the day at the Federal Reserve Bank in Philadelphia, were deposited to Miller's account with Laird, Dissel Meens. Calling more witnesses, the Government showed that two $10,000 Liberty bonds, also bearing serial numbers of those Merton gave King in October, 1921, were deposited in New York brokerage houses by Leland B. Duer, another attorney in Miller's bureau. BLAIR WILL TESTIFY IN FORD STOCK SUIT Internal Revenue Commissioner And First Assistant Called For Today. ECONOMIST IS QUIZZED Defendants Promise Expose Of Methods Used By Treasury In Handling Case.
Bureau of The Washington, Feb. trial of the tax suit against nine of his former minority stockholders continued before the Board of Tax Appeals today, Henry Ford, the world's richest man, paid a visit to the White House and came out singing praise of President Coolidge and prohibition and foreseeing continued business prosperity. The nine former stockholders, who are fighting a $30,000,000 income-tax reassessment by the Treasury on profits they are alleged to have made out of sale of their holdings in the Ford Motor Company, hoped to complete their case tomorrow. They promise a complete "expose" of the methods used by the Treasury Department in its handling of the case, their attorneys saying that by tomorrow night they would have "torn the veil from Treasury operations so completely that there would be no doubt about the invalidity of the tax." Blair To Testify Today. David H.
Blair, Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue, and C. R. Nash, his assistant, who was acting commissioner when the levy was made, have been ordered to appear by the petitioners, and in addition large files of doeumentary evidence have been prepared for tiling at the opening of the hearing tomorrow. With the aid of the documents they expect to get complete information from Blair and Nash, according to Arthur J. Lacey, attorney for Senator Couzens, but if these officials refuse to answer questions they are prepared to subpona Andrew W.
Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury. Couzens May Not Appear. Mr. Lacey intimated tonight Senator Couzens might not take the stand in the case. "If we get the information we are after tomorrow," he said, "I think Senator Couzens will feel there is no need of him taking the stand." Letters which passed between Treasury officials and the taxpayers will be produced in an effort to show the Bureau of Internal Revenue acted in bad faith in levying the $30,000,000 tax.
Documents to show when the sudden decision to press for the tax against Senator Couzens and his friends was reached are to be produced, and Blair and Nash are to be questioned about them. U. S. Counsel Quizzes Badger. Government counsel battered away today at the testimony of R.
E. Badger, former economist of Brown University and an expert on industrial securities, who has said the Ford Motor Company was worth $240,000,000 on March 1, 1918. On this basic valuation the taxpayers would owe none of the 000, but would have almost $10,000,000 in refunds coming to them. A. W.
Gregg, chief counsel for the Internal Revenue Bureau, assailed Badger's testimony by quoting from appraisals he had made in other in which he used the diametrically oppo site prineiples to those on which he based the $240,000,000 valuation of the Ford company. "In those cases he was appraising for purposes of the State inheritance tax, and a lower valuation was desired by the taxpayers, while in this case his client taxpayers are seeking a high valuation," Gregg said afterward, in explaining the purport of his questioning. Closed Control Enhances Valne. Badger had emphasized in previous testimony that companies with a "closed corporation" control, such as the Ford company had, probably would be worth more. Gregg quoted to him from his own reports, made a year or two ago, in which he said "stock issues with a wide market command higher prices than those which are closely held." "That is a question for further thought," Badger said.
Similarly Gregg attacked Badger's statement regarding General Motors earnings in the years preceding 1913. He demanded to know if Badger thought he "was frank with the court" in his statement. Badger thought he was. BLACK BOTTOM BAN REFUSED Head Of French Musid Syndleate Refases Restraining Order. Paris, Feb.
9 Bottom" is a generic term and, therefore, the property of no particular person. This ruling was made today by Rene Demande, president of the Music Publishers' Syndicate, acting as an arbiter in a case growing from a claim made by M. Salabert, a musie publisher. Salabert sought to prevent anybody else in France from jublishing a "Black Bottom." In making his ruling Mr. Demande also declared that the terms "Charleston" and "Foxtrot" were public property.

KENT (Continued from Page 1.) Borah agrees with Dr. Butler on that point. Had he not, it is argued, he would unquestionably have said so. THE other thing is the cryptic comment of the hard-boiled Senator Moses, whose regular Republicanism and political shrewdness are alike unquestioned. Said he: "For the same reasons Dr.
Butler gives-and some others-I have been of the opinion for two years that Mr. Coolidge would not run again." Take it all in all, with the MeNaryHaugen bill about to pass, the wet and dry issue brought up in a really determined way and the third-term talk started by a Republican instead of a Demoerat, things have not broken so well this week for the little Coolidge cirele. The belief there, however, is that if they sit tight, do nothing and say nothing, this little flurry will pass and the creeping progress toward the nomination can be again resumed. Probably they are right." Schneider, Insurgent, Declines G.O.P Caucus Bid Several Others Said To Have Indicated They Will Not Attend. Washington, Feb.
9 of Administration Republicans to heal the breach with their insurgent colleagues in the House received a setback today with announcement by Representative Schneider, of Wisconsin, that he had refused an invitation to attend the party caucus February 21. He declared that the move on the part of Republican leaders "to bring back the party caucus, which is a discredited method of binding and gagging members in secret, does not appeal to me." "I do not want to contribute to the effort of the leaders to muzzle free and independent expression and action of any member of my party," he said. "Nor will I submit my independent judgment to the dictates of a caucus." Several other insurgents have indicated that they will not attend the caneus.

Induced Carnegie Gift. Washington, Feb. 8 Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, died here today from apoplexy. He was 77 years old.
Regret over the death of Dr. Wolcott was expressed by President Coolidge in a message to the widow. "His passing," the President said, "will be a great loss to the scientific world, where he had held such an eminent place for so long. His researches in the field of geology and paleontology have been notable and invaluable. "Won't Be Forgotten." "As secretary and executive head of the Smithsonian Institution since 1907 he has added to its fame field of exploration and of acquisition.
His work will not be forgotten." When the wheel of a wagon he drove as a farmer's boy turned up fragments of a vein of fossils it started Waleott on a career in which he attained high rank among the world's scientists. His chosen field was geology, and, although this work made him a student of the past, he made a keen intestigator of the needs of the future. He was a pioneer in urging the possibilities of aircraft, and it was largely through his efforts that the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics was created. He was made chairman of that agency. Fossils As Boyhood Hobby.
Dr. Walcott was born March 31, 1850, at New York Mills, N. Y. As a boy he collected fossils, minerals, insects, birds' eggs and other materials for study. One of his collections about this time, of rare Trenton limestone fossils, found a place in the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology.
Dr. Walcott examined the Cambrian rock formation of the Appalachian belt from Alabama to Quebec and easterly through New England and New Brunswick to Newfoundland. He served in various capacities with the Geological Survey, including that of director, and as head of the Reclamation Service. In 1907 he became secretary of the Smithsonian. In 1901 Dr.
Waleott appealed to Aadrew Carnegie to found a research institution, and Carnegie eventually gave $10,000,000 for the Carnegie Institution at Washington. Dr. Walcott organized the institution and was its administrative officer from 1902 to 1905, and a member of its executive committee or its chairman for twenty years. The interest of the scientist in aviation began in 1898, when Dt. Samuel P.
Langley, a fellow-worker, developed a heavier-than-air machine. He asked President McKinley to investigate the Langley theory, and when he came to the Smithsonian Institution the Langley aeronautical laboratory and library there occupied much of his time. Has Dispute With Wright. He got into a controversy with Orville Wright in 1925 over the question whether the Langley machine, which was wrecked in trying to fly over the Potomac, really was the first man-carrying, heavier-than-air machine capable of flight. He labeled the machine as the first capable of soaring on its own power, and Mr.
Wright and his friends then announced they would not place the original Wright machine in his custody.

As Mr. Lorce was stationed in Baltimore he was looked upon as the logiea! man to check the proposed sale of Baltimore city's stock in the Western Maryland to the Fuller syndicate, which was acting for the Gould interest then in control of the Wabash. The city's stock in the Western Maryland, howerer, was sold to the Fuller syndicate, but the plans for a greater Wabash system never materialized due to the Goulds losing control of the Wabash. To Rock Island. Despiteen disagreements with the Pennsylvania Mr.
Loree continued for some time as president of the Baltimore and Ohio, although at the time it was frequently admitted that his resignation would be fortheoming at any moment. In the meantime the large earnings of the Baltimore and Ohio attracted the attention of the oflicials of the Rock Island Railroad, who held Mr. Loree responsible for the rapid advancement of the road. Consequently he was offered the position of president of the Rock Island at a salary surpassing that of any railroad official in the country at that time. Mr.

Railway snowplows and semaphores have been invented by Mr. Loree, who is a master economist, perpetually studying grades which consume so much coal in transportation. He devised the "transition curve," rendering turns safer; sent Josiah Flint, the tramp author, out to stop hoboing, and organized the first railroad police force.
At the time of the Johnstown flood he won a reputation by bossing a gang of workmen who made record speed in rescue and repair work. The Day In Washington EXECUTIVE.
