Big Block of Electric Storage Quickly Taken A large block of Klectrlo .Storage Ilattery Company stuck was taken up yesterday inornliiK by three of tlio largest baiiklns nnd Investment houses in the city and was placed Insldo of two houis.

Equitable Life's Liberty Bond Plan Coiihlderablo publicity Is being Riven to a plan announced by the Kqultable l.Ifo Assurance Company, of New York, to aid In tho sale of Liberty Bonds. The plan 13 said to hao been "wurked out" by the war tervlco committee of the company and Is chu-slllcd as novel. Koine say that the samo plan originated toino time ago with one of the smaller western life Insurance companies. Tho Idea ran hardly ho railed novel, except so far us lt applies to Liberty Bonds. Its working Is almost similar lo the usual plan adopted by many men In this city In payment of their homes. Tlio plan U brlclly ns follows: Under the terms ot the arrangement the Kt,itltnble will advance the money to purchase Liberty Bonds of the net Issue up to J.'OOO, allow ing the Individual to pay for the bonds In semiannual Installments cover ing u period of five years or less. The Individual who buys the bonds In this manner mutt be Insurablo nnd must take a. live-year term life In surance policy with the society for the amount of the bonds purchased. This Is the lowest price form of old lino life Insitianco and It will he used to pay for nny balance due on the bonds In the event of the death of the purchaser before the payments nro completed, in which, event the bonds will bo turned over to the beneficiary with any remainder that may be duo fioni the Insurance. The purchaser will he lequlud to pay "tho society the same Interest rate on this loan as the Government p.r s on the bond. It will be Intel QhtliiB to know how tho plan will woil; out, in tho opinion of :i number of local financiers who are Interested in .seeing the not Liberty Loan u success. Ot coui.se, that would he Impossible unless tho llqultahle Life Asburance Company published tho lesults from time to time, Ono banker hero icr.illctl a statement made by tho Kqultable about the time of the campaign for the llrst Liberty Bonds, that it would Invest all first-car premiums In Liberty Bonds, so that the company must have quite an amount ot theto bonds among Us assets already. When responsible heads of the two big local companies the Penn Mutual and the Piuvl.lcnt Life nnd Trust -were asked today lfThey Intended doing something similar to aid in the sale of the ne.t Italic of Liberty Bonds they said they had no such Intentions. The icpicsentatlve of the Venn Mutual said the matter had not been taken under advisement and tho representative ot the Piovideiit Life snd Trust was most decided In saying his company had no intention of putting out such a plan. Speaking of the Kqultablo's proposition of 8omo time ago to invest tlio fhst premiums In Liberty", lie said: "Our company applied for $1.0u0,000 of the first Issue .and" was al lotted $000,000. We applied for $l,0o0,0"0 of the second Issue and Rot them, and It Is just now a question In iny mind whether theso two amounts aic not together larger than tho first premiums received In tho inleival between the flrt and second Liberty-Bond campaigns." Aiuithei banker said that on the face of It the Kqultable plan looked .itti active, but, he remained, wh) don't the accident companies get up Mich n plan'.' Baldwin's the Subject of Much Street Comment There were all sorts of rumors on the Street yesterday about Bald win's. Soino of them, no doubt, were based on the statements published in New York papers to tho effeqt that the directors of tho company would consider a stock dividend to compensate holders for the unfeeling bookkeeping cut made in its assets. This report was not credited, as a rule. The other rumor was about a possible note Issue, but few credited that, cither. llio activity in Baldwin's leceutly has been the soiuce ot much dis cussion. The fact that almost r.00,000 shales have been bought in ten days, when there uto only L'00,000 shares outstanding, argues very plainly thut lt is not Investors who aio buying, investois buy only once as a rule.

But those who remembered the Prussian blood in Hammersley's veins did not stop at the epithet of the coward. They called him "Spy!" . Even his friends flinched when they recalled his con nection with the War Office and the promptness with which important governmental secrets continually found their way to Berlin. "THE YELLOW DOVE" opens with the return of a great German airplane to its hidden hangar somewhere in England. Its mission is to obtain certain secrets of British military preparations. Hammersley and John Rizzio Italian confidant of London's official society know these plans. Doris Mather, the American girl with whom they are in love, realizes that one of them must be the traitor and deter mines to solve the mystery.
