On this amount the Treasury re- ceives interest at the usual rate on government funds of 2 per cent, while the Treasuryl Scates that will ma- ture July 5, per cent interest. God policy for the Ipate interest and of these certificates 10 date of payment as holders are will- ing to retire, but the chances of any large number of holders accepting the proffer of Secretary Mellon are not con- sidered very promising. Investors who place their money in the certificates are looking for interest secondary to safety, and, as certificates are automatically retired, periodically, the same people are found reinvesting in the refunding issues. Local Stocks Neglected There wasn't enough doing on to- day's stock market, locally, to mak the daily session interesting. A 5s was made at lots of Railway preferred and a single sale of Capital ares was made at 34%. Aceepts the Appointment. George W.

It credits 1,271 reduc- tions in westbound rates to June 9, 153.319 in eastbound rates and 120 in export and import rates. Seventy reductions were made on hay ranging from 10 to 50 per cent: seventy in coal on about the same is. twenty-four in building ma- averaging 20 to 50 per cen iron, structural steel, rails, etc., fi teen, from 10 to 50 per dent. Industrial switching rates have been very materially redu twenty cases, paper and paper & ut in freignt r cent. Technically a reduction of 10 cents to a hundred points is 1.000 reduc- tions. but the railroad bureaus treat this as one reduction. Other reductions will be made from time to time in the adjustment of rates. From the carnings the com- panies hope to be able to earn. with the most rigid economy. the needed $175.000,000 necessary to meet charges. Interesting Debt Settlemen; Setrlement of debt of Australia to Great Britain has heen arranged for through an agreement by which the former pays an annual interest charge of 6 per cent on the entire amount of the debt, incurred in moving troops, etc., in connection with the war. Of the annual payment, 31 per cent will be paid in_interest on f1 L 41e per cent will apply to £11,500,000. and 5 per cent interest will be credited to the remainder of the debt, £74,215,900. Affer the payment of the interest as scheduled on each debt, the balance of the 6 per cent annual payment will be accredited each year to the prin- cipal of the debt. It is estimated that the balance of the interest thus applied Will dis- charge the oblization in less than thirt ven yea Australia i3 still indebted to the home sovernment for some £4.000.000 accrued interest. This the British cabinet have agreed to wait for until a time when the exchange market is more favorable, and to accept bills for six and twelve months without interest, by which time. if is hoped, exchange may be in a stronger posi- tion. The Wall Street Journal comment- ing upon t tlement, says: “This agreement is of peculiar interest at this time, when the United States and British treasuries are enzaged in framing a e for the settlement of their own accounts.

BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News, Capyright, 1921. STOCKHOLM, Sweden. June 28— The police are rapidly ridding Sweden of the Finnish reds who plotted to separate the whole of the northern part of the Scandinavian peninsula from the established governments and make it part of the soviet republic. In most cas the agilators are sent castward to Esthonia, whence they are deported to eastcrn Kurelia in Finland. Although less than fifty have been actually convicted of plot- ting against the Swedish government. twice that number have left the coun- try through fear of being involved in the conspiracy, thus voluntarily de- porting themselves. For a week the Finnish secret serv- ice has been co-operating with the Swedish police in_investigating the activity of the red Finns, to get a line on those who instigated the trouble and prevent them from continuing their operations after they reach east- ern Karelia, which is partially under Finnish sovereignty. The police here believe that they will have completed their task of clearing out the revolu- tionary element within the next fort- night. U. S. MINER KIDNAPED. Rescued When Mexican Bandits Are Killed. Br the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, June —Redyck Moore, an American miner, was cap- tured by three bandits near Palmiras, in the state of Aguas Calientes on Fri- day last, but was rescued the next day and returned to his home in safety, says an official announcement issued here today.

President Harding has commuted, to expire at once, the sentences of C. B. Schorberg, Henry Kruse, Henry Felt- man and George W. Menninger, all of CGevington, Ky, it was announced today at the Department of Justice. Feltman's sentence carried with it a fine of $40,000 and he must pay a fine of $10,000 upon his release from prison. Schoberg, Kruse and Feltman were convicted under the espionage act and Menninger on a charge of stealing from interstate shipments. Scho- berg’s sentence was for ten years, Kruse's for five and Feltman's for eight years. Menninger was sen- tenced for three years. —_— EAST RIVERDALE. EAST RIVERDALE, Md., June 28.— Officers to serve for the ensuing year will -be elected and other important business transacted .at a regular meeting of the East Riverdale Citi- zens' Association July 2, at the resi- dence of Dr. Robert M. Weedin. It is announced that more than $80 was netted from the recent lawn fete given by the association for the benefit of the community home build- ing fund. ‘East Riverdale wants a constable and is preparing a petition to the county commissioners, 2 CONVERTIBLE BOND MOVEMENT W YORK, June 28. — Ralilway bonds were helped by news ‘that Washington was soon to come out with a plan pf financial esw@Won of the vertible bonds and other more specu- Iative issues were the only ones, how- ever, that moved to any extent. St. Louis and San Francisco income 6s again reached 52, in comparison. with last night's close of 51%. Southern railway 58, which were in demand yesterday, were again strong, up to 81, a gain of a point from last week's final. Rock Island refunding 4s, at 6514, and New York Central debenture 68, at 88%, were unchanged. Loulsvilie and Nasnvilic (s, which since the stock dividend projects were brought out have been favored over other bonds of its class, were again in demand at 102 to 102%. ‘Among the industrials Kelly Spring- field 8s continued heavy around 97%. Virgintay Carolina Chemical 718, 5 a new low record yes- ;. were firmer at 55, Wil- Airst 68 lost a half point to 8314, and Gioodyear 83 were a trifle lower at 98%. Chile Copper 6s were weak at 70% in comparison with yes- terday's high of T2%4. Interboro 5s Weak. Among the tractions the feature was a_drop in Interboro ~Rapid Transit 5s, which sold down to 53%, as against yesterday's high of 55%. Inasmuch as the president of the com- pany has given virtual mssurance that the July coupon will be paid on time, this decline could hardly have reflected uneasiness on this score. It appeared to represent nothing more than the familiar speculative “sell- ing on good news.” Hudson and Manhattan incomes, crossing 39, stood at their high of the year. Third Avenue adjustments were a trifle higher at 27%. Liberties Steady. With the exception of the third 41%s, which were down about 25 cents, and the first 3%s, which were up some 50 cents, there was no change in the liberty group. The 5 per cent Mexican bonds were strong, with an advance of nearly 2 points, because it was assumed that the Mexican congress had responded to American pressure when it voted to delay the execution of the oil tax decree. —_— WHEAT PRICES DROP AS MUCH AS 9c A BUSHEL CHICAGO, June 28.—Severe breaks in the price of wheat took place to- day, some sales showing a loss of as much as 9 cents a bushel, compared with yesterday’'s finish.

Municipl officials tonight began the task of recruiting new men to take the places of strikers. Meanwhile the city was being guarded against fire and crime by private citizens. U. S.

Federal Vocational Education Board Answers Critics. Charges of a former teacher of the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- tion that it requires five months for a student to receive his pay check after he has entered training under the board was denied today in a stafement issued by the board. “It requires only twenty-four hours from the time the notice of the man entering training reaches the central office until the pay check is mailed,” said the statement. “This twenty-four | hours is required to_ascertain the legality for training, check the man’s case against official records, etc. There have been a few exceptional cases where a man's pay check has been held up for a longer period. These excep- tional cases, which are now compara- tively rare, have been seized upon by certain persons as evidence of the board's delay. No mention is made of those who have received their pay checks within a reasonable time. These critics forget that the board has 83,504 men in training, who are receiving their checks for maintenance and sup- port regularly twice a month.” SCREENS TO0 SHIELD FOOD. Feature of the Health Department’s Fight on Flies. The importance of keeping all busi- ness places where food is served or: sold “screencd was urged by the health department today in its cam- paign against flies. Storekeepers and proprietors of eating establishments are reminded that all foodstuffs placed on display should be inclosed in cases, screened, or in some manner protected from the germy-carrying fly. “Flies will breed in almost any moist filth.” said_an official of the health office. “Therefore, do mot throw, place or allow unclean refuse of any character to remain about to home or business establishment. Above all, keep garbage cans tightly covered.

CHICAGO, June 25—Wheat prices declined today largely in response to talk of possible strike troubles af- fecting railroads and elevators. Be- sides country sales, especially in the southwest, appeared to be on a heavy scale. Demand here was confined for the most part to houses with eastern connections. _ Opening _ quotations, which varied from unchanged figures to 2% lower, with July 1.26 to 1.27 and September 1.22% to 1.23%, were followed by a material setback all around and then something of a rally. Corn declined with wheat, and touched new low record prices for the scason. After opening % to % off, including September, at 61% to 61%, the market underwent a further sag. Oats turned downward as a result of the action of other cereals, starting unchanged to % lower; September 33%. and later showing losses for all eliveries. Higher quotations on hogs gave firmness to provisions. _ No adequate corn sujjort developed in the late dealings. The close was heavy, at 2% to 33 net decline, with September, 59 to 59%. Bullish wheat crop reports from the northwest were ignored and the mar- ket descended rapidly after midda: with holders pressing to liquidate.! The close was semi-demoralized, 6 to $% net lower, with July. 118% to 1.22, and September, 1.17 tp 1.17%. WHEAT— Open. Figh. Low.

ONE hundred and forty-five years ago, this country rebelled against the tyranny of "taxa- tion without representation”. Yet today, many a man imposes this tyranny on himself —without pro- test. His pocketbook is taxed to the limit—his money is spent without plan, when it should be building up a savings reserve. If this is your plight, it is high time that you, too, rebelled.” We offer you our co-operation in building up a savings account—and it will eam 3% com- pound interest.
