Also Bank of Manhattan Jamaica pany's special 1 and highly profitable line during the war period. After the war to make up for the loss of munition contracts, the company turned to building heavy machinery for industrial uses. and the past few years have been devoted largely to development in this direction. Those who recall the "war-brides" of the war-time stock market may also recall that Bliss Company stock: was one of the high-soaring unlisted stocks. From a pre-war price of $37.50 a share the old common stock of $50 par rose in succeeding years to a level of $765 to $775 a share.

The banner year, 1916. netted profits of and extra dividends to' stockholders, running to 100 percent on the $50 par common stock in each of three quarters of the year, brought the total dividend disbusements in that year to more than $4.000.000. In the period from 1914 to 1921. when bonuses aggregating $4,500.000 were paid out, total dividends were approximately $8,000,000. Additions to surplus were capitalized by new issues of stock, and the old $50 par stock that rose to $765 share, of which there were originally 25,000 shares outstanding, was multiplied to 300,000 shares of "no par," the present common stock.

Thus one share of the old stock would be equivalent to 12 sares of the present stock, and on this basis a recent price of $10 a share for the stock now outstanding would be equivalent to $120 a share for the old stock. The fall of the "war-bride" was accordingly from $765 to $120 a share when peace came. Taking $15 a share as the current market. the stock has recovered to the equivalent of $180 from its low level of last year. Dividends are being paid on the present common stock at the rate of $1 a year.

The rise and fall of the company's earnings during and after the war, and last year's recovery are shown in the following table of net income, year by year: 1920... $2,376,338 1916...10,565,321 1921... 2,926,125 1917... 2,339,925 1922... 1918.:.

1.271,353 1923... 1919... 1,885,524 1924... 554,307 Net loss. was said during the war that 1915 and 1916 the company's profits on a single torpedo amounted to $7,500.

When the United States entered the war in 191 it placed contracts for torpedoes with the Bliss Company, prices were trimmed down $1,500 on each torpedo by the Navy Department, according to information from Washington at that time. MRS. M. R. ADRIANCE IS ALLOWED $10,000 YEARLY BY COURT Mrs.

"He has sent me this ring," she said, pointing to a 16-karat diamond upon her right hand.

The ring was a misfit- too large. "It will have to be cut down--no, not the stone, but the band--it will have to be made to fit my engagemen finger," said Pola, "Will you be married abroad?" she was asked.

Washington, March 21-Chairman Couzens of the Special, Senate Committee investigating the Internal Revenue, charged today that a case being considered by the committee in executive session showed the Treasury Department was not settling tax, questions uniformly, and that the personal views of the tax assessors influenced the result. The case, involving about 000, the Michigan Senator said. was of two men with interests in an oil well, one owning a one-third interest and the other one-half.

The man owning the interest sold on his holding, which created an actual value under the rules of the Treasury, and a tax settlement was made on that basis. When the owner of the haif interest came to pay his taxes. the chairman asserted, he claimed another value, and a basis was agreed on with the Treasury experts, under which he paleo less taxes than his former partner. The Treasury's explanation, Senator Couzens said, was that the sessments were mde by two different sets of engineers and Auditors, who did not to the same conclusions. "I do not believe." he added.

The common stock of the E. W. Bliss Company came to life in Wall street last week, coincident with the attack of the minority stockholders on the $4,500,000 war-period bonuses that were disbursed, chiefly among the officers of the company, and the minority's lawsuit for restitution. E. W.

Bliss common stock had a slide downward when war profits vanished. The stock, as now outstanding, fell from $43 a share in 1922, and from the equivalent of $64 during the war, to $10 a. share last year. Up to the past week there had been over a period of months to around $13. The bringing of the suit against the officers and directors had a salutary effect on the over-the-counter dealings in the stock.

Those who had been trying to get rid of their holdings withdrew their offerings, and prospective buyers put in fresh bids. The bid price rose in the week from $13.50 to $14.50 a share, while offerings of the stock at $15 disappeared. Brokers yesterday reported only little stock to be had at $16.50 a share. Aside from the possibility of additions of cash to the company's assets, in the event of a victory of the minority stockholders in their suit. the business of the Bliss Company has apparently taken a turn for the better, after a long period of effort to keep -outgo within gross income.

The eventful annual meeting of the stockholders, early in the week, was not given over to the minority fight exclusively, but earnings of the past year were reported, and they showed a net profit of more than half a. million dollars, as compared with a loss in each of the two preceding years. The stockholders were Informed that bookings of orders were being received in encouraging volume, and there were prospects of good business for some time ahead New Torpedo Contract in Sight. Not the least interesting item in this connection was an intimation that the Bliss Company had closed a new contract torpedoes.

Louis jimOLS JEWELER 425 FULTON ST. BROOKLYN 1 from Borough Hall GRADE CROSSING PAY HELD UP 4 YEARS, HARKNESS ASSERTS Transit Commissioner Scores Serious Delay by Hylan's Board of Estimate. Transit Commissioner LeRoy T.

Harkness in a statement issued yesterday attacks the Board of Estimate delay in paying a bill for approximately $2,500 which was the city's share of the cost of some improvements under order of the Transit Commission almost four years ago. The delay in this instance, he contends, is typical of the city's bill-paying procedure. The Board of Estimate approved the bill in question on March 9 of this year. Further improvements have been held up, Harkness says, because the bill was not paid before. On Jan.

12, 1921, he explains, the Public Service Commission for the 1st District, afterward succeeded by the Transit Commission, issued an order providing for the pavement and improvement of 15 streets, including Fairview, Putnam and Forest in the Fresh Pond section of aves. cross at grade the tracks of, the Queens, where these thoroughfares Brooklyn City Railroad. The order further provided that the railroad should perform the work and be reimbursed subsequently for the city's out, on the grounds that share. The company, objected, it is pointed the city was habitually slow in payThe Commission, Mr. Harkness ing its to split the work says, parts, the first part to then into three include the improvements on the in the Fresh Pond three avenues section of Queens.

The plan vided, he adds, that the second part, the work should follow upon the of by the city to the railroad of the city's share of the first part payment of the work. with "The the Commission's order," Comcompany promptly complied missioner Harkness continues, crossing "and proceeded to do the finished grade late in work, which was 1921. On Feb. 21, 1922. the Commission adopted a resolution approving the cost of the work, which amounting half, to about $5,100, of a $2,559.

was due the railroad comfrom the city. The Commispany sion also certified this amount to the Board of Estimate requesting payment be made forthwith, so that the work for the other crossings might be proceeded with. The Board of Estimate paid no attention to the communication of the Transit Commission and the matter hibernated until on March 9. 1925, the approval was given to the payment of the bill." It will at last be possible, he concludes, to commence work on the next group of road crossings. MILD WINTER ANGERS DANISH COAL DEALERS Copenhagen, Feb.

Not once has the temperature fallen below the freezing point in the daytime, and the nights when this has been the case have been exceedingly rare. Generally the month of February is the coldest in Denmark: this year it has had the character of early spring. The mild winter has been blessed by everybody except the furriers and coal merchants. Particularly the latter are complaining bitterly.
