NOMINATION OF
WOOD SECONDED
BYMRS.flOBINSON
Sister of Late Theodore Roose
velt Has Honor of Being
First Woman to Ever Sec
ond Nomination.
Coliseum, June 11. The demon
stration which followed General
Wood'i noimation lasted 40
minutes. Vn it quieted down
T- -ww . . . N
rranic jvnox ot Mew Hampshire,
the Wood floor manager, and Mrs.
Douglas Robinson of New York,
made speeches seconding General
Wood's nomination.
Mr. Knox, a former private of the
Rough Riders, told the convention
that New Hampshire, the general's
native state, regarded him "not as a
son of the state, but a son of the
whole nation."
The speaker got a lot of cheers,
but not so much as did Mrs. Doug
las Robinson of New York, still in
mourning for her brother, Colonel
Roosevelt, when she took the plat
form to second General Wood's
nomination. The first woman ever
to perform that function in a na
tional corrvention, she got a rising
ovation when she was introduced by
Senator Lodge.
To stop the demonstration, Mrs.
Robinson waved hfi hand.
' - She spoke with a clear, carrying
voice with crisp enunciation, ap
parently heard with ease to th?
depths of the hall.
She began hy praising General
Wood's qualities as a soldier. "It
was-due largely to him," she said,
"that the American boys went to
Europe as efficient 'fighting ma
chines and not cannon fodder. Peo
ple often say to me these last days
you want to have General Wood
president because he is a friend of
your brother. Theodores Roosevelt.
This fs not true. I want Wood for
president. ,
"I want Leonard Wood for presi
dent not because he was mv
brother's friend, but because he is
my brother's type. General Wood
has courape combined with thnt
most uncommon thing in the
world, common sense.
"We don't want any' more vision
aries, we want realizable ideas and
v.e want real light.
"We want, beyond everything els
a self-sacrificing man, a man who
comes in the White House must be
ready for sacrifices. He must take
not only the mantle of Rooseveit
but the mantle of Lincoln.
"We want the spirit of Lincoln to
follow us in the grave days that are
before us. v
"We must have a man wfco looks
from America out, not from Eu
rope in.
"Our president must not be only
a nationalist. He-must bt known
throughout the world.
"Such a man is Leonard Wood."
"Admirers of Mr. Wilson say he
had to wait until the psychological
moment to-get the country behind
him.
"W do not want a man who
waits for the psychological moment;
we want a man who makes it.
"There are three , kinds ' of men :
The man who uses only wprds, the
' man who serves hy saying to other
men 'go,' and the third who says
to the other men 'come.' General
Wood is of the men who say
come.

.and Financial News of
Financial
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire.
New York, June 11. There was
a better sentiment in financial circles
today, based almost exclusively on
the more favorable character of the
news from the republican conven
tion at Chicago. I he apparent avoid
ance of a "split" or "bolt" in the
party seemed to encourage the mar
ket, or at least the few market
operators who now are doing their
utmost to instill some semblance of
life into the price movement and to
day their efforts were considerably
more convincing than they had been
on other davs of the week.
The overnight news from Chlego wa
Interpreted a highly fayorable from the
market's viewpoint, and the happening
of the day, a reported from time to time
on the new ticker, contained nothing
to alter the earljr Impression, or to de
stroy the early hopefulness.
Professional Buying.
Thus, sfter an opening demonstration
of strength, the market held Ita initial
gains and in-the cases of several of the
more conspicuous Issues in the industrial
lint, the advances were Added to substan
tially as the day woreV on. There was
talk of "professional buying," which prob
ably was well founded, and the gossips
had it that a certain big private operator
was taking a pronounced position on the
upside.
Short covering added Its weight to the
buying, hut it would be unsafe to assume
that this constituted the major part of
the day's demand for stocks. There were
evidences of new buving In many parts
of the list snd If the shorts had been
the only ones bidding for stock It is
doubtful 1f the strong undertone would
havo carried through the session a well
as5 It. did.
The rise was accomplished in the face
of more high money rates, tehe range
today was from 8 to 10 per cent and back
to the opening figure-Just before the clos
ing. Being Friday, these rates have three
days in them, which Is rather a serious
consideration. But today the fluctuations
of the call money market was ignored
completely. Although they probably fore
cast unfavorable bank statements today,
traders could see no reason for allowing
them to Interfere with their purchases
and atn,o tlmo were money rates a factor.
Ralls Neglected. "
Railroad stocks were neglected. There
was neither weakness nor strength In
them: only complete dullness, and they
were permitted to drift along without
contributing anything to the day's busi
ness. The bond market, too, was dull
and featureless. There was the usual
quiet but firm demand for Anglo-French
bonds and for some of the other in the
foreign department, and there was less
selling of Liberty bonds than .on several
other recent day
Sterling exchange continued about V4c
under this price. French francs, on the
other hand, again sold off. going to 13-.20e.
Italian ia.es were notably weak, break
ing more than 100 points on rather light
sales. Silver for the second day ad
vanced, being quoted at 92c here and at

of 81c and 43d, respecTlvely, on Wednes

To the Skinner Company Stockholders :
The urAdersigned were appointed as a Committee
to investigate the affairs o The Skinner Company and
the original Skinner companies and to protect the in
terests of the stockholders, at the meeting held injhe
Omaha Auditorium on May 25th, '1920.
Since that date we have co-operated with the Ne
braska State Bureau 'of Securities and the Attorney
General of Nebraska and have had several meetings
with the Skinners and theirttorneys.
S i .
The Nebraska Bureau of Securities ha;d several
accountants and their attorney investigating Ae books
and records of the Skinner companies for several weeks
and their report shows that:
The Skinner Company has issued about 334,000
shares of stock which at $50.00 per share, the basis of
the transfer of stock, would be $16,729,000.00.
Paul F. Skinner and Lloyd M. Skinner hold
167,290 shares of this stock or EIGHT MILLION
THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS ($8,364,500.00).
This stock was voted to Paul F. Skinner and Lloyd
M. -Skinner on December 16th, 1919, by the Board of
"Directors of The Skinner Company, which then con
sisted of Paul F. Skinner, Lloyd M. Skinner and D. C.
Robertson, their brother-in-law.
Itwas issued to them for their interests in the
Skinner Packing Company, the Skinner Baking Com
pany and the Skinner Manufacturing Company.
Paul F. Skinner and Lloyd M. Skinner only trans
ferred and surrendered to The Skinner Company 1,610
shares of stock in the Baking and Manufacturing Com
panies in order to effect this transfer. They owned
none in the Packing Company then. '
The Skinners surrendered $161,000.00 of stock
and voted to themselves and received over EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS WORTH. They received 103
shares for EACH SHARE they surrendered and you
stockholders received TWO shares for EACH SHARE
you surrendered. . .
In the conferences had with the Skinners and
their attorneys they have neyer. made a proposition
which involved their surrender of control of the Com
pany and the least amount of stock they have offered
to retain is one million dollars.
This Committee has refused to recommend any
settlement with them which gives them control of the
stockholders' property or which gives them a million
dollars of stock for nothing.
The report of the Stata of Nebraska sows that
they have been well paid in cash for everything done
to date as officers of the Companies.
The Skinners are attempting through the papers
to mislead the stockholders by talk of their desire to
continue the packing business as . an "Independent."
How do the stockholders know it will be independent
with the Skinners in the saddle? How could it be more
independent than by the stockholders themselves, the
people who put up their hard earned dollars-selecting
lot
Chicago Grain
Chicago, June 11. Although an
sencc of selling pressure led to &
material upturn today in the value
rf corn, longs afterward unloaded
freely and brought about a reaction.
The close was unsettled at the samc
as yesterday's finish to lc hiftlwr,
with July $1.74 1-8 to $174 3-8 and
September, $1.62 3-4 to $1.62 7-8.
Oats gained 1 3-4c to 2 3-8c. In
provisions, the outcome was un
changed to 7c lower.
The bulge in prices finally led to
a big increase of selling orders, and
forced the market to react. Closing
quotations were unsettled, at the
same as yesterday's finish to 1 cent
higher, wilh July $1,74 1-8 to
$1.74 3-8 and September $1,62 3-4 to
$1.62 7-8.
Most of the demand on which the corn
market advanced came from shorts, who
were uneasy at finding no sign of general
brnrlsh sentiment, despite, apparent like
lihood of somewhat larger receipts next
week. TluSls. however, contended that
prevailing talk of an Increased move
ment was based on agreements which
various shippers had made to undertake
their own car repairs. It was asserted
also that next week would witness the
end of the expected greater run. On the
other hand, planting was reported us
rapidly neailng completion, with a liberal
nrre:it. iilmnsf HSStired.
Chances of crop damage from hot
weather tended to give Independent
strength to the oats market and so like
wise did continued meagerncss of arrivals.
Provisions were inclined to sag owing
to lack of any special Remand.

Avoid
Embarrassment
When you lend money to a friend,
you are not sure of the exact date when
it will be repaid. Therefore, you are un
able to plan for the re-investment of the
money on a definite date. Sometimes the
delay of a few weeks in the repayment of .
a loan is very embarrassing. j

and recommended by Home Builders,
Inc., are always retired immediately upon
maturity. Interest is paid semi-annually;
on the dot. Home Builders, InL, retires
bonds and pays interest from a sinking
fund which is accumulated for the pur
pose. There 's no waiting f oryour money

demands and we expect to go into Court and compel :
them to throw open "their record" to the stockholders.' ' "
