GARDINER ACCUSES BOARD OF GRAFTING Mayorality Candidate il Gur- ning lor Charity Department —— Henry E. Gardiner, several times _candldate for mayor, today wrote Mayor Weld complaining of alleged practices of the charity department which, he declared, ‘“carry the stench of graft.” Gardiner has been carr)lng on a campaign against the x\nly de- partment for several 'months, claiming stores gre favored with business while o6thers receive none in spite of the fact that they have lower prices. In his letter to the ma- yor he complains that inmates of the town home are required to eat their scant food off a tin plate “like felons in their cells,” and that wait- ers in the institution are given money considerations to give extra portions to a few. Gardiner expresses willingness to appear before the charity board and substantiate his claims with evi- i dence, but he charges this Drh‘lk‘se has been denied him. Supt. John L. Doyle of the char- . ity department had no comment to offer other than to explain that all ndeetings of the board are open to the public and he anticipated no ef- fort to restrain Gardiner from ap- pearing before the board should he desire to do so.

Will Not Make Sacco Fat Warden William Hendry of state prison took occasion today say emphatically t. Nicola Sacco, who started the h y of his hunger strike by refusing Dis breakfast, was not in a state of collapse. It was explained at the _prison that so long as Sacco was .able to walk the prison physician, Dr. Joseph McLaughlin, would not consider attempting forcible feed- ing.

The Olds Motor Car com- ipany, a subsidiary of General Mo~ tors, alone will spend $3,000,000 for expansion, part of which will be jused to produce a line of larger cdrs. Production of the new Dodge cars steadlly is being increased, with several new models ready for an- nouncement, and other manufactur- ers have announced new models to be ready shortly. Interest centers particularly in Ford plans, with the date when the promised “super-car” will go on a quantity production basis the chief point of speculation. Net earnings of the Bohn Alumi- num and Brass Corporation for the first half were $1.73 a share against $2.45 a share for the entire year of 1926, The Foundation company had (profit o $170,897 for the second quarter, equal to $1.70 a share, against net loss of $67,683 in the preceding quarter and profit of $281,526, or $2.81 a share for the second quarter of 1926, Net profit for the first half is re- Iported by Sidney Blumenthal and |company as $357,599, or $14.31 a share on preferred and $1.23 a share {on common, against net loss of $73,- 297 for the first half of 1926. The Industrlal Ryaon Corporation reports net earnings for July of $36,- 000, equal to about $2.10 per share on common. s The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroad’s net income for the second quarter was $1,678,197, or $2.33 a share of 719,712 shares of par $50 capital stock, against $1,488,666, or $2.07 a shore, in the corresponding jquarter of 1926. Net income of $4,550,072 for the second quarter is reported by the Michigan Central Railroad company. This is equal to $24.28 per share on $187,364 shares of capital stock, and compared with net fncome of $5,061, 251, or $27.01 a share for the sec- ond quarter of 1926. (GENERAL MOTORS IN RECORD PROFIT Dividend Expected to Pay $5 per Share New York, Aug. 12 (P—A $7s3, 000,000 “melon,” establishing a |record profit for American indus- try, is to be- distributed among holders of stock in the General Motors corporation, the spectacular bonanza of Wall street. Plans for the distribution of the 'melon,” the second to be declared by the corporation within a year, will be submitted for the approval of stockholders at a mecting Sep- tember 12 when directors will propose the declaration of a 100 per cent stock dividend. This in effect will be the result of a capital readjustment by which |two shares of new $25 par stock will be issued for each share of no par common, doubling the present §,700,000 shares of common out- standing. While no dividend rate on the Inew stock was announced it is said {in Wall street that it will pay $: per share, or $10 annually instead iof $8 at the present rate. | On this basis the market value of the New York stock may be theoretically established until issued 'at $90 a share, making the “melon” |worth more than three-quarters of ‘a billion dollars. This far exceeds the distribution of a 40 per cent stock dividend last year by the U. |'S. Steel corporation, General Mo- [tor's nearest rival, which was val- ued at $245,000,000. General Motors {last year declared a 50 per cent |stock dividend. Plans of the directors call for an increase of common stock from 10,000,000 no par to 30,000,000 shares of $25 par, and reductions Jin the amount of 6 per cent pre- [ferred and debenture stock out- {standing. These changes in no way alter the outstanding capital and i surplus accounts, it was said.

Although brokers' loans were reported at record high levels yesterday, a substantial de- cline is looked for next week as a result of the drastic decline that has taken place in the last two days.
