GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO, November 4.?Corn de
clined sharply today as a result of the
signing of the armistice with Austria.
At first the weakness appeared to be
due more to absence of buying than to
urge necessity of selling, but a rally
brought increased pressure. Liberal
receipts tended also to handicap the
bulls. Opening prices,' which ranged
from H to 1% lower, with* December
1.11% to 1.12%, and January 1.13*4 to
1.13%, were followed by a nearly com
plete reaction, but then by a setback
further than before.

First convertible 4%s June 15, 1947

Fourth 4%s.?. Oct. 15, 1935
While there have been but four lib
erty loans floated, there are now out
standing seven distinct issues of these
securities. This is the result of the
conversion of the first 3% per cent,
which brought out first converted 4s
and the conversion of the 4 per cent,
which resulted in the first and second
converted 4%s.
After Saturday of this week the con
version privilege in, so far as it re
lates to 4 per cent bonds will expire
for all time. ?
Bankers estimate that the premium
on 4% per cent bonds over the 4s will
be about ?3 on the 91,000 after the ex
piration of the conversion right.
No Season for Not Converting.
There is no good reason for not con
verting. Converted bonds retain 'the
same maturity as the original Issue,
and interest payments are made on the
same dates. The exchange can be made
at the Treasury building, front door,
or at the bank where you purchased
your bonds, without charge to you.
There is no need oi converting 3%
per cent bonds, for the reason that they
are more valuable in the open market
than any other issue, and they also
retain their conversion privilege into
any future issue of liberty bonds,
though there is small indication of any
future issue bearing more than 4%
per cent.
.Concerning Tax- Exemptions.
All liberty bond issues are exempt
from normal income taxes,, irrespective
of amount.
Under an act of Congress approved
September 24, 1918, the following laws
regarding tax exemption became ef
fective:
(1) The interest on an amount of
bonds of the fourth liberty loan the
principal of which does not exceed
930,000, owned by any individual, part
nership, association or corporation,
shall be exempt from graduated addi
tional income taxes, commonly known
as surtaxes and excess profits and
war-profits taxes, now or hereafter
imposed by the United States, upon the
income or profits of individuals, part
nerships, associations or corporations;
(2) The interest received after Janu
ary 1, 1918, on an amount of bonds pf
the first liberty loan converted, dated
either November 15, 1917, or May 9.
.1918, the second liberty loan, convert
ed and unconverted, and the third liD
erty loan, the principal of which does
not exceed $45,000 in the aggregate,
owned by any individual, partnership,
association or corporation, shall be
STOCKS MUCH BETTER;
RAILS MORE ACTIVE
NEW YORK, November 4.?Peace j
shares were much stronger on the
strength of the over-Sunday news.
Wall street believes the war is next
thing to ended, and that the end is
not far distant. Readjustment on
the railroads will be much easier ac
complished than in the industrial
factories, hence the rails really gave
a better account of themselves as a
group than the industrials, although
here and there a strong industrial
developed.
Mexican Petroleum gave another
good account of itself in a rather
sensational recovery of 7 points, while
Royal Dutch rose 6 points, Texas Oil
3. and the oils generally were
stronger.
Steel Opens Bather Weak.
United States Steel common opened
rather weak, then recovered a point,
which was in part forfeited in later
action. General Motors made a good
gain and held the advance. The gen
eral list of coppers and equipment
shares was steady.
Action in the railroad shares was
more steady and the advancing trend
not as quickly choked off, but Bal
timore and Ohio and New Haven did
not come over during the early hours.
Lines Especially Firm.
The transcontinental lines were es
i pecially firm. Union Pacific gaining
1V4; Atchison, IV,>; St. Paul, 1%,
; and Southern Pacific, 114. New T,ork
| Central, Reading and Southern Rall
; way moved up a point to 1 % points.
I Later in the session American Su
matra Tobacco declined 10 points,
while the coalers and rails generally
continued to harden.
Steel common declined to .100 K and
recovered to 100%.
Additional Cains at Midday.
Additional gains were made at mid
day on the full recovery of United
States Steel.
The strongest features included
Marine preferred and Atlantic Gulf,
Texas Company, Studebaker and Uni
ted States Rubber. Sumatra Tobacco's
further decline and Industrial Alcohol's
loss of 5 points were attributed to pool
liquidation.
McADOO'S SPANISH WAR1
VOTE WAS REPUBLICAN
Secretary McAdoo this afternoon
gave out a reply to a statement is
sued last night by Chairman Fess of
the republican congressional commit
tee. Secretary McAdoo said, in part:
"In a statement just issued by you
to the American people you attempt
to convey the impression that I have
printed a political appeal on 'railway
schedules.' The only appeal of mine
which has been printed on 'railway
schedules' wsb an appeal to the Amer
ican people to buy liberty bonds.
"You complain because democratic
leaders are urging the people to sup
port the President in this serious time
of war by giving him a democratic
majority in Congress. In 1898 I was
a private citizen living In the state of
New York. Roosevelt was the repub
lican nominee for Governor of New
York. Democrat as I was. I heeded the
appeal of republican leaders, sup
ported the republican nominee for
Congress in my district and Roosevelt,
the republican nominee for Governor
of New York."
. British Fliers Raid Soarburg.
, LONDON, November 4.?Railways
and airplane hangars in the region
east of Met* were attacked today by
the Britlsh'independent air force, says
an official statement issued this after
noon. The statement says: Today we
carried out heavy attacks on the rail
ways In and around Saartrar*. One

sults. Hits were made on and near
hangars there, all our machines re

exempt from such taxes: Provided,
however, that no owner of such bonds
shall be entitled to such exemption
in respect to the interest on an ag
gregate principal amount of sucJj
bonds exceeding one and one-haat
times the principal amount of ponds
of the fourth liberty loan originally
subscribed for by such owner and still
owned by him at the date of his tax
return: and . -
(3) The interest on an amount of
bonds, the principal of which does
not exceed $30,000, OT*rned by any in
dividual, partnership, association or
corporation, issued upon conversion of
3% per centum bonds of the first lib
erty loan in the exercise of any Privi
lege arising as a consequence of the
issue of bonds of the fourth liberty
loan, shall be exempt.from such taxes.
In Addition to Income Exemptions.
These exemptions are in addition to
the exemption of the . income on $5,000
liberty loan bongs of any issue.
The new exemption legislation of
September 24 was taken with a view
of stabilizing the market value of the
various liberty loan issues.
The fourth loan issue was given ex
emption from surtaxes on the income
from bonds of not more than $30,000,
face value. This means that no matter
how many securities other than <rf
liberty bonds a corporation or indi
vidual may own, he has $1,250 of in?
come that is not taxable, plus the in
come on $5,000 bonds.
Stabilizing other loans was also
sought in the action by which any
and all of the other issues except con
verted 3^?s are free from all surtaxes
on the income from an amount of
bonds equal to 150 per cent of hw
subscriptions to fourth liberty loan,
and still owned by corporation or in
dividuals?the ownership dating from
original subscription at the time of
the flotation of the fourth loan.
These exemptions from surtaxes end
two years after the war.
Free From Surtaxes.
Converted 3%s are free from sur
tax on the income from $30,000 plus
the income on $5,000, while the first
3%s are free from all taxes but In
heritance, which all other issues are
also subjected to.
Purchasers of the fourth liberty
loan bonds on the terms of the gov
ernment Bale?that is, on five pay
ments to official agencies?and who
still have 90 per cent o fthelr sub
scriptions yet to pay should make
payment as follows: Twenty per cent
on November 21, 20 per cent Decem
ber 19, 1918; 20 per cent January 16
and 30 per cent February 16, 1919,
with accrued interest from October
24, 1918, the date of the issue.
The first reconstruction measure
was introduced today, when Repre
sentative George M. Young of North
Dakota offered in the House a concur
rent resolution that, in the process of
demobilization of the Army, illiterates
shall be the last returned to civil life,
and that elementary Instruction be
given to them before they-are dis
charged.
The resolution also called on the
Secretary of War to furnish informa
tion to the House and to the Senate |
as to the number of Illiterate men in |
the Army and Navy, with an estimate -
of the coat of furnishing elementary
education to all illiterates through the i
educational section of the division of
reconstruction of disabled soldiers and
sailors.
In presenting this resolution, Repre
sentative Young emphasized the fact
that educational workers among illiter
ates have found by experience that an
ordinary adult can learn as much, in six
months as an ordinary child in four
years. He brought out also that after j
a period of war activity nothing would
be more demoralizing to the soldiers:
than a period of idleness.
His resolution, therefore, provides
for demobilization of the Army only as
Xast as profitable employment can be
found for the soldiers, and that during
the delay courses of/ instruction may
be given to the less educated.
NEW PLAN TO SETTLE
DISPUTES OVER ROOMS
? i
Housekeepers Hereafter to Be Giv
en Same Consideration as War
Workers in Dissensions.
A new plan of settling room dis
putes, under which the housekeepers
of Washington will be given the same
consideration as the visiting war
! worker, was decided on today by the
housing and health division of the
War Department. .
Under the new plan, whenever a war
worker complains that she has been
notified to move from a home in^whlch
she has been given a room the hous
ing division will seek information as
to why the housekeeper desires to
get rid of the roomer.
Capt. Peyser, chief of the housing
division, has assigned Lieut. William
M. Conrad to handle room disputes
and, in all probability, the procedure
will be to hear the landlady's side of
the story before determining whether
the war worker had cause to protest
against being asked to move.
It has been growing more apparent
daily to all officials interested in the
housing problem that a feeling of
resentment exists between many
Washington housekeepers against war
workers because of . misunderstand
ings over the renting of rooms.
It is hoped that under the new plan j
the housing division -of the War De
partment, 1414 H street, will be able
to-settle the disputes fairly by hear
ing both sides of the story before tak
ing any action in defense of the war
workers.
Hope was expressed that when
housekeepers realize that they will
be given the same ..consideration as
war workers when disputes arise they
will no longer hesitate to take room
ers into their homtfs and that hence
forth much friction will be avoided
between the people of the District
and the government employes they
are housing during' the emergency.

CONVICTION SET ASIDE,
DUE TO LACK OF PROOF
Appellate Tribunal Reverses Police
Court Ruling in Case of Hack
men Accused of "lettering."
There must be proof of actual solicit
ing of employment by public hackmen
while loitering or stopping in front of
a hotel, according to the decision of
?the District Court of Appeals, before
such hackmen ahall be held to have
violated the polic* regulation against
solicitation.
Justice Robb, rendering the opinion
of the appellate court, so held in effect
today when he set'aside the conviction
of William P. Ryan and Charles
Lempkie, fined some weeks ago in the
Police Court for loitering and solicit
ing.
It does not follow, saya the Justice,
that because a hackman places his
vehicle at the curb near a hotel he is
seeking employment. He may be wait-,
ing for a passenger who already has
engaged his services.
The charge beinr criminal, the court
remarks, the convictions may not
stand when measured by the rules re
lating to criminal prosecutions.
