As the threats of resignation were made by men high in the councils of the alliance a serious rift in the pow- erful ‘organization se€med Imminent, | but Dr. C. J. Hexamer, national presi- dent. after 'adding his voice against the letter’s adoption called for a vote there was no vo.ce raised asgainst a motion to table the dacument. The vote was taken after a discussion in which several delegates expressed ab- proval of the proposed letter. hut in which the great majority . counseled a less radical method of expressing their ‘views. 2 ‘M. €. Bloedel of Pittsburg, a mem- ber ‘of' the resolutions committee, was the author of the letter and insisted'on presenting it as a minority report. As a matter of courtesy the letter was read to-the conventton by Joseph Keeler, national first vice president, but immediately on concluding the reading he announced that he would resign his offices, both as national vice president and as president of the In- diana Alliance, if the letter were ap- proved. More Threats to Resign. Almost instantly Julius Moersch, third vice president, who is president of the Minnesota Alliance, followed Mr. Keeler's lead, at the same time announcing that he had in his hand four other ' provisional ! resignations | 'which were (to go into effect if the convention ' approved Mr. Bloedel’s These were from Second Vice President Tjarks, president of 'the Maryland | Alliance; Seventh Vice President Leo Stern, president of the Wisconsin ' Alliance; = Dr. ~ Charles ‘Weinsberg, president of the Missouri Alliance, and Dr. Borck, president of the St. Louis City Alliance. _ After declaring that the United States has been carrying on a ‘‘crim- ‘inally pernicious traffic” in munitions for a year, Bloedel's letter says: 'Mr. president, we stand in a pillory lory 'before the world as consummate hypocrites. Millions of unhappy hu- man ‘beings are now cursing us, and millions more will cuirse us in times to come. ' Do not allow yoiutrself and the American people to be deceived. In'the eyes of bur tontemporaries and beétore ‘the tribumal of:® Nfstory ~we §tana’ evnvictea.” The letter accuses the United Stdtes of the greatest blame for the sinking of the Lusitania, and asserts that this country “is’ divided in sentiment as never before.” As a parting shot it concludes: k “Mr. president, it devolves upon You to remove this stain. 'There is no other alternative. The country. demands that you restore it to what it has lost, its reputation, its .honor, and its fair and unsullied name.” Resolution -Is Turned Down. “The resolution, which was approved by the resolutions committee '‘and adopted without opposition or change, | utters almost the same protest as, | Bloedel’s Ietter, but in more dignified language. It says: “The American people must realize that, those of German birth or extrac- tion are not willing to- accept second place in public life and are not here to be merely toleratéd. .As American citizens we rightly demand full equal- ity and will not suffer our influence upon the development of our republic to be curtailed.” Agaln it says ‘Since America has declared for neutrality, we demand ] that our government in dealing with foreign nations adopt the same stan- dard of treatment. We deplore that our government has on' the part of England practically permitted viola- tions of international law and /inter- ferénce with commerce to the delrl- ment, of American interests, and has on the part of another country—Mex- ico—supinely suffered the destruction of American life and property.” ‘With the selection of officers and the choosing of Milwaukee as the loca- tion for the convention of 1917, the ‘alliance closed its labors. Dr. C. J. Hexamer of Philadelphia was re-elect- ed president. MORE SALT CONSUMED, Increase of 41,575,800 Pounds in U. S, During 1914, ‘Washington, Aug, 5.—Salt con- sumed in the United States amounted to 9,998,520,660 pounds during 1914, an increase of 41,575,800 pounds over that consumed in 1913, That amount, announce. today by the geological sur- vey, would mean a per capita consump- tion of almost 100 pounds for the year,' Surar's per capita consumption during 1914 was 89.14 pounds, There kas been a steady downward trend in tLe cost In the cost of salt ow=~ ing to :he abundant sources of supply and also the great advances madé in the last few decades in methods of manufacture, HARNESS RACES mmoNED.

SRS S SENSATIONAL RISE IN COLT'S FEATURE Hartiord Stock Jumps Thirty- Five Points in Past Week (Furnisied by Richter & Co.) The featureé ‘of the 'past’ week has been the rapid: rise of about thirty- fiye points in Colt's Arms stock. Last week this stock was selling around 455 and yesterday it sold at 491, To- day quotations are 487 bid, 492 ask- ed. This rapid rise is no doubt due to the recent statement showing that net earnings for the first six months of this year have been in the neigh- borhood of $1,000,000, which would indicate earnings' of eighty per cent. per annum on the stock. Other stocks in the local market have been quiet. Sales of American Hardware have taken place ranging from 120 to 122, and Stanley Works at 60 and 61. There is a good de- mand for Union Manufacturing’ Com- pany stock, which is quoted = 66% with ‘no stock in the market. New Departure Common is also strong and is quoted 149 bid, 152 asked, with sales at 181. ' Bristol Brass has also been active, with sales ranging from 46 to 47. There has been a good demand for American Brass, which is riow quoted 184 bid. i \ North & Judd Manufacturing Com- pany stock is quiet, 110 being bid, 113 asked, with sales In the neighbor- hood of 113, The quotation on Niles-Bement-Pond common stock is jalso 110 bid, 113 asked. This com- pany is doing a very large business and its earnings are reported to be most satisfactry. The company will probably resume dividends either in January or February. We strongly recommend the purchase of this stock for a six months hold, for we believe that by February something substan- tial will be done in the way of divi- dends which should make the stock sell at much higher prices. Stand- ard Screw Common stock has advanc- ed about 10 points and is quoted 140 bid, 143 asked. Eagle Lock is up a point and is selling at 52. Landers, Frary & Clark is quiet with stock in the market at 57. Peck, Stow & Wilcox 1s quite active and higher with recent sales at 25. Pratt & Whitney preferred is quoted 102135 bid, 103 asked.

New York, Aug. 5.—Common stock of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, whose rise has seen few parallels in the history of the New York Stock Exchange, passed the 300 mark today. It sold during the morning at 301, a galn since the beginning of the { war of 269 points. The company was | incorporated in 1904 and the stock has never paid a dividend. The rise: this morning was eleven points from the previous high record, established yesterday, at 280. The stock has advanced fifty points this week. When the stock exchange closed on July 30, 1914, just beforc the outbreak of the war, it was qout- ed at 32. The advance of this stock and the shares of other corporatione England’s Tmports Increaze. In coiion, one of the much disput- ed articles in the trnde Great Brit- ain’s imports increased by 1,314,69% centals of 112 pounds cach..Of the re-exports of cotton Consul General Skinner said:— “Holland and Sweden each _ took about five thmes as much cotton in June, 1915, as in June 1914, and during the past hall year, Sweden received 142,543 centals and Holland 250,828 centals of cotton as against 18,642 centals and 17,785 centals re- 8pectively in the same period —of 1914, Large increases in all lines of cot- ‘tan goods and cotton yarns from Great Britain to Sweden, Norway, Denmark and The Netherlands dur- ing the first six months of 1915 ars shown. All Data Ccllected, These British trade figures, wilh many others collected by state de- partment, have been arranged for use in replying to Great Britain if the president determines to argue tha question, despite the flat refusal of this country to recognize Great Brit- ain’s right to interfere ‘with non- contraband commerce through neu- tral ports, even if it id for final con- sumption by a belligerent. Encouraged by the announcement from London that a part of the cargo of the steamer Neches had been re- leased, officials determined today to press informal negotiations to secure an agreement that would release all the vast quantity of American-bound commodities now lying on Rotterdam Gocks. . The British notes in the Neches case set forth that if it is al- leged that “in particular cases and special circumstances hardships may be inflicted on ‘citizens of neutral ready in such tases to' examime the facts in a spirit of consideration for neutrals.” in ,the war order group, has been ac+ companied by unrestrained specula- tion with little authentic information on which to base such a rise. \ Many stocks have been lifted from comparative obscurity to sudden pop- | ularity at ‘rising prices by reports of profits on the business of supplying war munitions to Europe. ' Some of the larger advances in \hd war shares from the close wt the tbreak of tho war. today, are: Crucible, , 17t 79; New fork Air Brake, 5§ to llS' Westinghouse Electric, 63 to 112; American Locomotive, 19 t¢ 56 1.3 American Can: 19 to 69 1- Even larger was the rise in the curb market of Electric Boat, which bullds sub- marines.
