WEDNESDAY EVENING,
U. S. STEEL DIVIDEND
ENLIVENS MARKET
Initial Response Sends Stock Up For Important Gain;
Bethlehem's New Issue Increases Three Points
In Value; Motors Reactionary
By Associated Press
New York, June 13, (Wall
street) —The action of the United
States Steel directors in announcing
the regular and extra dividends on
the common shares for the current
quarteV gave the stock market a
buoyant air at to-day's opening.
Steel's initial response was a block
of 20,000 shares at 133 V* to 132%,
an extreme over night gain of 2 %
and within a point of its record price
allowing for the recent dividend.
Bethlehem Steel new shares rose
over three points and advances of
1 to 3 were made by other indus
trials, equipments, coppers, alcohol
and distillers. Rails, as usual, mov
ed within restricted limits and mo
tors were reactionary.
Profit taking, prompted in part by
news of further marine disasters,
caused the leading stocks to react
moderately during the first hour.
United States Steel failed to repeat Its
best quotation of the Opening and
Bethlehem Steel declined two points.
Other equipments and munitions
mounted higher, however, with sugars
and prominent specialties. Alcohol
making an extreme gain of 4% points.
Later trading shifted largely to minor
rails, especially Rock Island. Missouri
Pacific. Southern Railway, Pittsburgh
and West Virginia and the coal group
at 1 to 2 point advances, but Delaware
and Hudson was heavy, losing 2&.
Shippings and metals were not re
sponsive to the rise elsewhere. The
market strengthened materially again l
at noon. Bonds were irregular.

Provisional Government l
Makes Rapid Progress To
wards Domestic Reform
Petrograd, June 13.—Despite in
ternal and foreign anxiety, the pro
visional government is making rapid
progress toward constitutional re
construction and domestic reform.
This week there is sitting under j
the F. F. Kokoshkine, a member of|
the Duma, a council of eighty-one
members which aims to prepare for
elections to the constituent assembly.
This assembly wil not only draft
Russia's permanent, constitution but
•will also solve certain immediate
problems, the chief of which are;
the questions of nationalities and I
the conditions of the transfer of the I
lands of the nobles to the peasantry.
In this preparatory council are sit-:
ting a group of constitutional spe-1
cialists, also deputies from the army
and from all the political parties, j
representatives of the Jews, Ukran- j
ians, Poles and other races and also j
a representative of the women, the,
famous feminist, Mme. Shishkln j
Yavein.
Halts I,and Transfers
To prevent dealings in land by
which it is intended to evade its fu
ture settlement, the provisional gov-!
ernment has declared invalid all [
land transfers of a later date than
May 14. The government has submit
ted to M. Kokoshkine's council the
government's project of law con
cerning elections to the constituent
assembly which is based on univers
al, equal, secret and direct voting by
both sexes. A further principle is
proportional representation of the
parties. Control over the elections j
is to be left partly to the Zemstosv. ]
A warmly debated question in the
council concerns the age of voters,
which all the parties have set low.
The electoral commission of the
council has recommended eighteen
years, but the full council yesterday
raised the age limit to twenty year#
for civilian men and women and
eighteen years for soldiers. Another
commission is considering the man- j
ner in which the army will vote if,
war prevails at the time of the elec- ]
tlons.
Important Re forms
Other important reforms have
been put forward from the ministry :
of justice. To-day the minister of;
justice published a bill which has !
been submitted to the provisional
government guaranteeing the Inviol
ability of the person and home and
also for the protection of private
correspondence.
The provisional government has
issued a law making judges of petty
courts electable on American prin
ciple. Women may be voted for and
sit as magistrates.
An Important reform proclaimed
yesterday is the Introduction of the
small unit of local self government,
in which all classes may participate
equally.
These reforms, though they were
proclaimed autocratically by the pro
visional government have been en
thusiastically received.

thanks for entry into the war on the
side of the entente allies and to ar
range for material assistance from

Leaving Petrograd before the ar
rival In that capital of the American
mission headed by Elihu Root, the
Russian embassy might perhaps not
be supposed to represent the latest
phase of political developments in
Rusfjia. But as a matter of fact.
Prof. Bakhmetieff has kept closely in
touch by cable and wireless with the
progress of events In Petrograd and
It can be stated that consequently
the extraordinary embassy Is in close
and sympathetic relation with the
powers now In control in the Rus
sian capital.

Cats Born in Guest's
Bag Costly to Hotel
Uniontown, Pa., June 14.—When
the cat stork left six kittens in the
traveling bag of Mrs. Gladys R.
Peeple, of Harrisburg, following a
daring climb up the side of the Sum
mit Hotel, a resort on the top of thfe
Chestnut ridge, three miles from
Uniontown, Leopold Heyn, proprie
tor, settled a bill for SSO worth of
silk negligee.
Mother cat appeared some time
during the night and when Mrs.
Peeble glanced into her traveling
bag, from which she had taken only
her pajdmas the night before, she
was thunderstruck to find a family
of cats.
The mother and kittens were
placed in a garage nearby, and a
few hours later were found in the
traveling bag of Jasper Johnson, a

U. S. URGED TO
SELL PAPER
[Continued From First Page.]
that obtained in many instances
theretofore.
Situation Serious
"The news print paper situation
Is vdry serious, not only to the con
sumers of paper, but to the public
generally and to the government of
the United States, which is itself a
large consumer of paper. The com
mission has reason to believe that
this situation will be still more ag
gravated and serious in the ensuing
months. The demand for news print
paper is constantly increasing and
gives promise of still greater in
crease with the continuance of the
war The supply of news print pa
per available to meet this demand is
dependent upon mills already in ex
istence.
"It seems probable, thereforo, that
with the demand for newsprint
paper increasing and the supply re-
I maining constant or possibly dimin
| ishing there will be a repetition of
1 the panic market of last year and
I the exaction of prices that are en
! tirely out of measure with the cost
of production. The consequences to
thousands of smaller newspapers
and to many of the larger ones, and
through them to the reading public
will be most serious.
"By reason of this condition and
because of the vital interest to the
public of an efficient dissemination
of news in this crisis, the commission
recommends as a war emergency
measure that congress by appropri
ate legislation provide:
".(l).That all mills producing and
all agencies distributing print paper
and mechanical and chemical pulp in
the United States be operated on
government account; that these pro
ducts be pooled in the hands of a
government agency and equitably
distributed at a price based upon
; cost of production and distribution,
plus a fair profit per ton.
"(2) That pursuant thereto some
federal agency be empowered and
directed to assume the supervision
and control thereof during the pend
ing emergency of the war.
"(3) That, by reason of the fact
that approximately 75 per cent of
the production of news print paper
in Canada comes into the United
States, proper action be taken to se
cure the cooperation of the Canadian
government in the creation of a simi
lar governmental agency for the
| same function, which shall he cloth
' ed with power and authority to act
Jointly with the governmental agency
of the United States for the protec
tion of the consumers and manu
facturers of print paper and the pub
lic of the United States and Canada.
"(4) That in case the Canadian
government shall not join in such a
cooperative enterprise, then impor
tation of paper and mechanical and
chemical pulp into the United States
shall be made only on government
account to or through the federal
agency charged with such supervis
ion and distribution.*
"In this connection the commis
sion desires to point out that such
■ a plan contemplates the operation of
mills under their present manage
ment and the use of the present dis
tributing agencies, but that such use
and operation shall be far from the
public good, directed by a disinter
ested public agency to secure equit
i able distribution and a price that is
| based un a fair cost of production
and a fair profit per ton to be de
termined without regard to the panic
market created by unusual ami ab
normal conditions. This plan has
the.virtue of being analogous to
those plarls which have been tried
and successfully operated In Great
Britain. It will alto insure the max
imum production and greatest facil
ity in transportation and distribution
and will adapt itself readily to a
return to normal competitive condi
tions upon the conclusion of the
! war."
