SENSATIONAL MOVEMENT
IN BETHLEHEM CONTINUES
Bteel Stock Jumps From 108 to lis.
Then Back to 109—Individual
Transactions Very Large in Lots
of 100 to 900 Shares
By Arsociated Pros.
N'ew York, April 9.—The sensation
al movement in Pethlehem Steel was
i continued at tihe beginning of to-day's
market, trading in that stock beiug of
tho most foverish character. The
opening transaction was a block of
2,000 shares at 110 to 107, its closing
price yesterday being 105. From 107
it fell by easy stages to 103 and grad
ually reascended to 115, then back
to 109. Individual transactions wero
very large, but the total output in tho
first 15 minutes was a little over 2,000
shares, mainly in lot- of 100 to 200.
The balance Of the market showed some
uncertainty at first, but soon grew
strong under the lead of United States
Steel, Beading and other favorites.
Motor shares were up to 2 to 4 points.
Highly favorable trade reports is
sued by the Treasury Department and
circumstantial peace rumors were tho
chief influences back of the market,
which gathered greater strength and ac
tivity after the first hour. Transac
tions in the morniug approached half
a million shares. U. S. Steel contribut
ing a very large part at a maximum
gain of 3 points. Other leaders ad
vanced 1 to 2>.» and specialties, partic
ularly motor shares, coutinued their
progress to record-breaking prices.
Bethlehem Steel was temporarily rele
gated to the background, but "toward
midday again became active on a rising
scale. Bonds were firm.

Indebted to Securities Company ;
J. B. Greenhut, president of the firm, \ \
is treasurer of the Monmouth Securities i ;
Company, upon Whose application the ' ]

based u;on indebtedness of approxi
mately $200,000 alleged to be due the ,
securities company and representing j.
money loaned the Green'hut Company, j.
In connection with its department 1 .
stores, the J. B. Greenhut Company con- 1 !
ducted a private bank for the conveni- i
once of its customers. In December last,
however, the firm gave notice that it
intended to withdraw from the banking
business and that no interest on deposits
would be paid after January 1, 1915.
The date fixed by the firm for its with- j
drawal from the banking business was
months' notice and it is believed that
all availed themselves of it to withdraw
their savings.
Petition in Bankruptcy Tiled
A few moments after the appoint- 1 1
ment of the receivers, an involuntary j
petition in bankruptcy was filed against <
the company bv three creditors with '
claims aggregating $3,000. In their ,
petition these creditors alleged that the '
assets of the Green hut Company, exclu
sive of real estate, do not exceed $6.-
000,000 and that its liabilities, mostly
old debts, aggregate approximately
$12,000,000.
Benjamin G. Paakuc, of counsel for
the J. B. Green'hut Company, asserted
that the liabilities were about $3,500,-
000 and assets about $7,000,000. Of '
the latter he said, there were about $4,-
000,000 in quick assets so called and
$3,000,000 in fixtures and stable equip
ment.
There are two mortgages on real es
tate owned by the firm, according to the
petition. One of the mortgages is for
$1,200,000, and the other for $1,750,-
000. These mortgages, Mr. Paskus said, •
are offset by bonds, some of which are
held in Europe. Current liabilities, Mr.
Paskus asserted, would be offset by the
merchandise and outstanding accounts. '
Without question the business will be
reorganized, Mr. Paskus asserted.
Officers of the J. B. Greenhut Com
pany are JosephU. Greenhut, president;
Charles A. Cooper, vice president; Ben
edict J. Greenhut, treasurer, and Nel
son W. Greenhut, secretary, all of whom .
are directors. The additional directors '
are Jerome Siegel. Benjamin Hillman,
Nathaniel Menken, Eli Wolfner and

ALICE NIELSEN WILL SING
BEAUTIFUL OLD SONGS
Program for Nielsen-Gam Recital WIU
Include Many Beautiful Old Melo
dies and Songs That Everybody
XaOVM
Alice Nielsen, like John McCorm&ck,
has a large number of admirers who
hold .some of her selections among their
beat beloved talking machine records,
and also like McCormack, she sings
ALICE NIELSEN
the old songs that everybody loves un
commonly well and is literal with them
in her encores. When she appears here
next Monday evening with Kndolph
Ganz, the great pianist, in their joint
recital in Chestnut street auditorium,
she will number among her selections,
"The Last Rose of Summer," "Annie
I-iaurie," "Darling Nellie Gray,"
"Kathleen Mauverneen," "From tho
Land of the Sky Blue Water" and oth
ers of the kind.
Miss Nielsen, who performed the
unheard of feat of jumping from the
ranks of comic opera into the first ranks
of grand opern, nevertheless retains all
of her old winsomeness and sprightli
ness. She sings to the human heart.
She is in the realm of women singers
what McCormack is among men and
those who miss her concert next Mon-
day evening will miss a treat indeed.
(Lan/., who plays with her, is also a
performer who [Hits tone and expression
ou a par with technical performance on
the violin. Unlike many other players
Ciaii7. does not mistake his keyboard for
a chopping block, nor does he engage
in the ground and lofty tumbling that
some musicians seem to think is all a
piano player should be able to do. Ho
is known as the "pianist with ft mes
sage,'' and rightfully so for his playing
does carry a message, cloar and beau
tiful.

PREPARING FOR
INEVITABLE WAR
Kailroad Rolling Stock Being With
drawn From Swiss Frontier for
Transportation of Troop* and Mili
tary Stores—Aerial Fleet Beady
London, April 9, 4.31 A.M.—ltalian
steamers in American ports have been
ordered to postpoue all sailings until
April 20, according to a Rome di»patcb
to the Exchange Telegram Company.
Geneva, via Paris, April 9.—Railroad
rolling stock is being withdrawn fey
Italy from the Swiss frontier, it is re
ported here, for fhe transportation of
troops and military stores in Northern
Italy, destined for the region bordering
on the Austrian Tyrol.
The 'Lausanne "Oaiette" states that
the towns of Mantua, Verona, Pescbiera
and which formed the
fortresses in the famous "Quadrilat
eral "are garrisoned with fully equipped
troops which lack only heavy artillery
and this will be supplied soon. An
aerial fleet is ready for operations.
A Milan dispatch to a Zurich news
paper says that at a mass meeting held
Inst' nig'ht and nttended by five Liberal
deputies from Milan, a resolution was
adopted characterizing as "absolutely
necessary" the participation of Italy
in the wur.
Austria's Position Grows More Grave
Rome, April 8, 10.50 P. M., via
Paris, Aipril 9, 4.30 A. IM.—The ques
tions whether an understanding between
Italy and Austria still is possible and
whether a separate Austro-'Russian
peace treaty is probable are discussed
from different ]>oints of view by the
press of the capital. Ttio papers agree
that the two questions are closely re
lated since, if Russia, with the permis
sion of her allies, obtains what she de
sires and comes to terms with Vienna,
it is impossible to imagine that Aus
tria would 'be willing to mako terri
torial -concessions to Italy.
It is regarded as probable by the
newspapers that reports of peace ne
gotiations will be denied in all official
quarters until some tangible agreement
is reached. The position of Austria, it
is contended, is becoming daily more
grave because of tho Russian invasion
and the threat of Italian intervention.
Oreece in Same Position as Italy
Rome, April 8, 2.20 A. 'M., via Paris,
April 9, 4.20 A. M.—King Constantino
of Greece is quoted by the "Tribuna"
as declaring in an interview his belief
that it will be impossible for the allies
to force the Dardanelles without a com
bined attack by land and sea. His 'Ma
jesty is said to have declared that
Greece is in the same position as Italy
and other nations whk«h bave made
military preparations but have not
abandoned their neutrality. While their
position is difficult he believed their at
titude would be guided by the course
of events.
ITALIANS LOSE 118 MEN IN
REBEL ATTACK IN TRIPOLI
Rome, April 9, Via Paris, 4.40 A.
M.—An Italian <>olumn operating in
Tripoli -under the command of Colonel
Gianimazzi for the protection of the
harvesting of the barley crop southeast
of Misca has been attacked by a force
of 1,000 rebels, according to advices
reaching Rrrne.
The rebels, after a sharp fight, were
beaten off. Their losses were heavy.
The Italian column had 118 men
killed and wounded. Misda is about
100 miles soutb of the city of Tripoli.

will bo issued by General Stewart an
nouncing the following encampments
of the organizations of the National
Guard:
Engineers, joint camp with regulars,
Belvoir, Va., August 3 to 14.
Field hospitals, joint camp with reg
ulars, Tobyhanna. Pa., July 15-24; ar
tillery, joint camp with regulars,
Tobyhanna; Batteries B, C and
D, August 8 to 17; Battery A, August
18 to 27.
It is probable that the First regi
ment of cavalry will encamp with reg
ulars at Mt. Gretna, July 24 to 31, but
this arrangement is tentative as yet .
Preliminary arrangements are being
made for brigade encampments, but
they will largely depend upon satisfac
tory transportation rates being given
by the railroads, and it was understood
to-day at the Capitol that tho contem
plated increase of transportation rates
for guardsmen may require encamp
ments of infantry near home. The gen
eral tentative plan is to have the Sec
ond brigade, signal corps and Four
teenth infantry encamp at a place to
be selected in August. This will be
a brigade encampment. The tenta
tive plan for the First, Third and
Fourth brigades is for brigade encamp
ments at Mt. Gretna, July 10 to 17 .
