Issues Record Gains From Substantial Fractions to Two

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

HARRISBURG t&S&Sfi. 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.

The Liberty Loan
By JOSEPH A. 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.

a SSO Liberty Bond; if not outright,
then on the Instalment plan,
through the numerous channels that
are offered. 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
