12 RAILS ARE STABLE MARKET FEATURES Issues Record Gains From Substantial Fractions to Two and One-Half Points; Other Divisions of the List Irregular or Heavy By Associated Press New York, June 26. —(Wall Street). ■ —Rails were again the stable fea tures of to-day's early operations, re cording gains ranging from substan tial fractions, to 2 % points, while other divisions of the list were irreg ular or heavy. Ohio Gas lost almost blx points, presumably in connection with its new financing. Crucible Steel fell a point and Studebaker 1%, while General Motors gained 2. U. S. Steel reflected further pressure of 2 % points and Pacific Mail led the shippings. Metals and minor special ties were in light demand. The inquiry for rails assumed wider proportions later, embracing many low-grade issues. Chief among these, at gains of 1 to 1 % points, were Rock Island, Missouri Pacific preferred, Chicago, Great Western preferred and Denver and Rio Grande preferred, Western Mary land and the Southwestern group in general. Representative rails, like Union Pacific, St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Reading and minor coalers advanced 1 to 2% points. Meanwhile Industrials, including equipments, became more unsettled. U. S. Steel reacted over a point with Crucible and Baldwin Locomotive, the Motors. Industrial Alcohol and Ohio Gas made extreme recessions of 2% to 6% points. Bonds ranged slightly lower, the Liberty issues, however, holding at par.

Firestone Saves Millions For Car Owners in Court The full significance of the victory won last week by Firestone in the Perlman Rim patent case is begin ning to be appreciated by the motor ing public as well as by the car man ufacturer. The congratulations pouring into H. S. Firestone indicate that not since Ford's fight against the Selden claims has the industry or the pub lic been so interested in a patent suit and so pleased at the outcome. Through this light made by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company the makers and buyers of automobiles are relieved of an unlooked for and unjust royalty tax amounting to be tween $1,500,000.00 and $2,000,000.00 annually. With this principle to fight for with its far-reaching consequences, H. S. Firestone, president, took per sonal charge of the case for the com pany. It was in February. 1916. that L. H. Perlman in a suit against the Stand ard Welding Company, had his patent sustained. Up to that time anyone had made demountable rims without restrictions. The Firestone Company, for Instance, have been making de mountable rims since 1908. The Perlman patent, not issued until 1913, was made operatvp by Perlman swearing that his invention da?ted back to 1903. With the sustaining of that claim the automobile industry faced the sit uation of Perlman having a practical monopoly on all forms of demount able rime.. The factory of the Stand ard Welding Company was closed and all rim manufacturers notified to dis continue making rims. Then the Perlman Rim Corporation was organized with a capital of $lO - and it was understood that L. H. Perlman received between $3.- GENERAL PERSHING'S NEPHEW JOINS THE ARMY pRANK' PERSHING. One. of the men in the ranks under General John J. Pershing in France may be his nephew Frank Pershing, a student at the University of Chicago, who was sworn in the other day as a private. Young Persh ing led seventy students of the university to the recruiting officer, Captain Franklin R. Kenny, and after he had taken the oath he passed the physical examination. The Binding of the Beast By GEORGE STIRLING of the Vigilantes He plotted In the den of his lordshop over men; He wrought his grim array and ho hungered for the Day. Then the loosing-word was spoken and the seal of Hell was broken; Then its Princes were assembled for the feast; But against the Vandal night rose the star of Freedom's light. And a world was called together for the binding of the Beast. They have seen it for their star; they have come from near and far; From the forges of the North go the men and young men forth. Having found the holier duty, found • the true, the final beauty, As their brothers of the South and of the East. In the forests of the West they are giving of their best. With strong hands and patient for the binding of the Beast. For his treason unto man in the war that he began. For tlie rapine and the flame, for the hissing of his name, Have the hosts gone up against him and with swords of judgment fenced him, With his coward clutch on women and on priest. For the children he has maimed, for the maidens he has shamed. The nations gird their harness for the binding of the Beast. 000,000.00 and $4,000,000.00 for his in vention. The entire automobile industry was disturbed and their output seriously threatened. The automobile manu facturers who were receiving their rims from the Standard Welding Company made arrangements with the Perlman Rim Corporation to re lease sufficient rims for them so they could make deliveries, for which they paid thousands and thousands of dol lars. The first check from one com pany was for $40,000.00. Most of the rim manufacturers submitted and turned (heir rim plants over to the Perlman Rim Corporation. Being firmly convinced that this patent and the evidence that won this decision was a travesty on justice and a serious menace to the entire motoring public. Mr. Firestone re fused to recognize the Perlman claims in an way. He realized that the Court of Appeals decision given Perl man formerly meant in the ordinary course of things, an injunction against his company and the closing down of his rim plant, but having the courage of his convictions he wanted his chance at Perlman in the courts. The injunction was first argued for in New York before Judge Mayer on April 13, last. By that time the Fire stone attorneys had gathered new evidence showing that the decision in the former suit had been obtained through false testimony and asked that they be given an opportunity to present these facts in trial in open court. On this showing, an injunc tion was denied Perlman and the case set for June. At the trial last week, Perlman was put on the stand iind testified to a completion of his Invention in 1903, introducing exhibits and docu ments alleged to substantiate his claims. During the cross examination of Perlman, he was led into contra dictions and evasions and after sev eral hours' questioning very inter esting facts were brought out as to I'erlman's business activities which finally culminated in the disclosure of the arrest of Perlman in England for fraud and deceit, a Jail term and flight from Kngland while on bail. Perlman would not admit or deny the facts presented to him, but took refuge in repeated lapse of memory on these points. At the end of the cross-examin-* ation, the attorneys for the Perlman Rim Corporation moved to dismiss, thereby shutting off further dis closures b the Kirestone Company which they stated would have been startling. 'Judge Hand allowed the case to be dismissed although he stated that it was against his wishes, but he was bound by a long line of precedents. The thing of importance to car manufacturers and the public is that ALLIES OCCUPY ° \s^'^ STrR V |rV \ tjT7p% _ S ALONIK k 9^ ,tza J \ F J [ .KASTORIA YJJ/GP 'RF'R I •MCT3QVO ''L, ' • rr \ \ /T*** \Sxv-.- : V\- /9f\ \ TRIKALMV . • Q) \ I \ V^^VOLO^X-' V H& rmt \ ) DOMOKQ3' SCALE tf WILES 1 s£=i nr'io i, *o i* '■ "■■ RAILROADS NMA BATTLE UN n - Safe ß uard 'K their forces in the eastern theater of war the \llies -u ,?i If "5 possession of Greek territory necessary for any often si\e which may be contemplated by General Harrail in mnimanii nr IIA I' raneo-British-Serbian army.

TELEGRAPH Now frothing in his rage, a scourge to youth and age, Caked with blood he stands at bay, with his feet upon his prey, Ringed with surf of guns resounding, raw and fetid from the hound ing. Smites he still in baffled fury and the roar of hate released; But the huntsmen of the ranks, with their steel at breast, and flanks. Give no truce nor sign of respite at the binding of the Beast. He is cunning, he is strong, and the war shall yet be long, Where the seven thunders wake and the walls of heaven shake. He is cruel, blind and ruthless; he is boastful, sly and truthless; By his will the Powers of Darkness are increased; But the shackle and the chain shall avenge the hurt and slain, Who have broken bread with heroes at the binding of the Beast. ' For his pact with death and hell let us bind the monster well, That the world go free indeed from his arrogance and greed! By the pact he dared to sever, make we treaty with him never. Till the murder venom in his blood has ceast! By his trust in force and war, end we those for evermore. As the nations sit in council for the binding of the Beast! the Firestone searchlight has exposed a schemer who had fastened' oll to the industry a useless drain of mil lions of dollars. Needless to say the Firestone Com pany is still fanufacturing rims un trammeled by any patent claims, and Mr. Firestone is delighted at the out come of the trial as it puts every body on an equal footing again where merit and efficiency are the meas ures by which all will be judged. Wear Out Autos in Tire Testing Service / The recent purchase of thirty-six new motorcars, which now comprise the six divisions of the tire-testing fleet of The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company, recalls the fact that dur ing 1915 and 1916 at least forty-two other cars have been worn out in this service. The first cost of these cars is com paratively small for the upkeep as they bound over the roughest roads of the United States day in and day out far, exceeds the original pur chase price. In this cost, of course, must be figured the same items that the motorist pays, for evert though these cars are testing tires, this par ticular items of upkeep far exceeds that of the average motorcar used in continuous service. In fact the tire cost to the Goodrich Company is much above that of the motorist for many of the tires are never worn out. Instead, after having been used for a specified number of miles un der certain conditions, a great many of these test tires are then sent back to the factory where thev undergo operations in the laboratories which reveal merits nnd shortcoming alike. The Goodrich Company years ago learned that there was no other sat isfactory methods of determining the quality of a tire than to put it to a severe road or service test. Dozens of rubber formulas and manv more weaves and qualities of fabric origi nate in the laboratories but it re mains for the test cars in all parts of the United States to determine the worth of each.

ALTSHELER of the Vigilantes l ; L A\ No other financial measure ever taken by the United States has the peculiar and attractive qualities of the Liberty Loan. It makes a triple appeal—to patriotism, to sound na tional finance, and to personal thrift. At one of the most critical mo ments in all history the American re public has intervened on behalf of human right and freedom, and to save the down-trodden little states which have just as much right to live as the big ones. To do this we must mobilize our money, our mu nitions and our army and navy. We must first mobilize our money to stabilize our allies, and to grease the wheels of our own big guns when they move to the front. The loan is unique because it is Intended neither for the rich alone, nor for the poor, alone, nor alone for those between, but for all the people. It is a war of the whole na tion, and the poor as well as the rich can help to build up the mighty bul wark of finance which supports a country in battle, and without which armies and navies are im potent. Almost any one, even those earn ing very small wages, can, by a lit tle self denial, save enough to buy been the service of these sleeve-valve motored cars that when the LaSalle Company decided to add several open cars to its equipment more Willys- Knights were ordered.

They know too, that it is an absolutely safe security, back ed by all the wealth and power of the United States, which stands now, by far the strongest nation, finan cially, in the world, and which is likely to remain so indefinitely. One of the best qualities of this loan is the encouragement it gives to thrift and saving. People who would not save in ordinary times, but who, from a patriotic motive, buy Liberty Bonds, soon find they have something put by for a day of need, something the interest on which comes In as regularly as the bills for rent and food. There is a feeling of security, and with it is born a desire to save again, and buy more bonds. Thus this great loan which is pri marily intended to help the nation ir. a crisis will also help the hundred million individuals who make up the nation. Buyers, in strengthening the country, strengthen themselves also. They learn to be temperate, careful and economical, and they acquire habits of thrift which provide for the rainy days that are sure to MARY SELLS 'HER LITTLE LAMBS TO BUY A BOND Portland, Ore., June 2L—Mary's little lambs have been sold to aid Uncle Sam in his fight for democ racy.
