BC “New York and in the lobbies of the ~MONDAY, JUNE 16, 1924, . Oil :: Everyman’s Railroad Bonds. For many years railroad bonds have held a high place in the esti: mation of investors. For a long time they ranked next to govern: ment issues and far ahead of in- dustrials. They still rank high but recently the credit standing of the railroads has been not a little im- paired. For one thing investors are not sure of the attitude to be taken by thé government. It ia recogniz- ed that regulation in the interest of the public is essential but there is ‘always the fear that this regula- tion will go so far as to imperil the position of the investor. For the most part this affects stocks but it 1s not without is influence upon bonds as well. Secondly there has been some radical shifting of traf- fic lanes. For instance the Panama eanal has proven itself a serious. competitor of the transcontinental railroads. The motor car has cut into passenger receipts and has taken a good deal of the ‘short haul” business from the railroads. Mean- while the carriers are taxed to meet the costs of building improved high- Commodity Finance ways for the motor cars to use. All things must be kept in mind whe appraising railroad investments. new capital to its support. The two points on which railroad bonds are to be judged are the value of ‘the property on which they are se- cured, how ‘essential this property is to the system aw a whole, and the earning power. ‘There if no:parti- oular mystery about these matters. The railroads are required by law to make monthly reports of> their earnings and these reports are pub- Ushed on the financial pages of the newspapers. Any investor can easily follow the financial fortunes of the road in which he tg interest- ed. It requires a little more effort to ascertain just what property se- curity 1s back of any particular rail- road bond and here probably some expert advice such as an invest- ment banker can furnish is advis- able, In a general way the nearer the bond is “to the rails’ the saying is the better the investment.

(Copyright 1924 Casper Tribune) CLEVELAND, June 16.—Having kent Cleveland pretty dry during the Republican national convention, the heavy squad of prohibition enforce- ment officers sent here for special duty, moved on today to New York to mop up the metrepolis prior to the coming of the Demecratic hosts. Prohibition Commissioner’ Roy Haynes was here himself and ‘brought the pick of his. field staff with him, The chances also are that he will be in New York during the powwow at Madison Square Gar- den. He hopes however, that by the time of his arrival, the advance guards will be acting in conjunction With the regulat shift and will have made such a Gent in the wet spots, of Broadway that little will be left ‘to be done. The successful fight here in Cleve- Jand was all against organized boot- legging or the attempted sale of ‘booze in cafes or other public places. ‘No attempt was made to “frisk" the delegates and visitors for possible, pocket flasks and so far as can be Jearned, there will be no such tactics employed in New York. 2 It was considered inevitable. here ‘that there would be some “bottle toting” and room drinking and the officers felt themselves powerless to scarcely noticeable. Bars, shapes and plates are quoted at $2.20 al- though $2.15 1s being done on plates. Textiles. READING, Pa., June 16.—Most of the milles here are on full time. Only 1,040 workers are on part however, only 60 workers are on full time and 691 on part time. Electrical Equipment. HAZELTON, Pa., June 16.—The Pennsylvania Power and Light com- pany has started preliminary work on the $8,000,000 power project at Hawley, Over 2,000 men will be employed. The plans provide for formation of a lake 51 miles in cir- eumference to feed the big turbines. assistant head waiters who held up their hands in holy horror, and said such conduct as that was not per- mitted in thetr-dining- rooms, -Men delegates could smoke as.they pleas- ed, it was explained, but the rules of hational convention bestqwing equal political rights upon the fair sex had no force or effect in the gilded restaurant in this particularly hostlery.' It was explained to the irate lady by Cleveland friends that she had selected the one hotel in Cleveland which obpects to the ute of tobacco in any form by its lady patrons, Democratic women will jave to go some to catch up with their sisters on the Republican national com: mittee, now that the latter have somewhat belatedly been retogniged. The new G. O. P. committee boats a real live princess on its roster. She is Princess Kawananakoa, of Hono- lulu. Forturnately, when she wi named from the curventien floor, an Hawaiian reading clerk was on duty at the chairman's desk and he ré- Peated the name in such a mellifiu- ous voice that it called for a cheer from the galleries, One of the distinct memories from the Republican convention was the booming’ voice of Mrs. Minnie J. Grimstead, of Liberal, Kans., who seconded the nomination of Calvin Coolidge on behalf of the Sunflower cope with such a situation. ‘There has virtually ben no drunk enness at all on the streets of the convention city. The prohibition of- ficers are determined to keep New York similarly clean if possible. During all of convention week out here eyes have been turned toward hotels there has been more specula- tion as to what the Democrats will do rather than discussion of Repubtt- can plans. Vimtors and delegates have come to feel t the story of the 1924 campaign is to-be written in New York rather than in Cleveland and Predictions as well as wagers to the results in November were postponed until the intentions of the Democrats were known. Hun@reds of prominent Republi- cans announced that they had en- gaged rooms in New York for the convention period and intended to watch the proceedings to the bitter end. They sald they would not miss ft for the world aud predicted that the Democratic convention throng would be fully four times the size of the visiting army here. Thousands of visitors are going to New York for a “good time’ and gome who were here have been rather soWcltously inquiring of the New Yorkers if all their cabarets and more popular restaurants were to be “padlocked" before the con- vention period begins. The absence of “night Ufe" in Cleveland has been a subject of complaint among those who have had idle evenings on thetr hands and they have been looking forward to the “gay White Way" ‘with rather eager anticipations, Cleveland has been “good” as well as dry during convention week, as one lady delegate who lighted a cigaret after dinner in one of the principal hotels of the city discover ed to her nt discomfiture. In the most ial manner possible when the coffee had ben served, she took a fag from a jeweled case, placed ‘it to her lips and struck a evic state. Mrs, Grimstead is a Baptist preacher and political lecturer and her powerful voloe carried to the far ends of the hall. The radio audience must have-enjoyed her brief talk, too, After she had spoken, someone handed ott a memorandum telling who she was. It concluded as fol- lo ‘She lives on a farm With her hus- band.’ Foreign Exchange NEW YORK, June 16,—Fere! exchanges irregular; quotations cents): Creat Britian demand 4.82%; ca- bles 4.32 60 day bills on banks France demand 6.53; cables Italy demand 4.82 5.54.
