making arrangements for the game

HEAVY ARTILLERY.
Proved too much for Band of
would be Hazers.
Parkersburg Boy Relates how He
scared Bunch Of Festive Students
cut CT Years 6rowth-They Tried
to Haze Him ana He Shot at Them.

The following special is alleged to
have sent from Morgantown to the
Parkersburg News in which it APP
peared by the hero of the story.
An incident OF most exciting ma
ture to number OF the University
students, and which has just leaked
out, occurred recently, and as re-
suit they are being mercilessly
"guyed."
From what can be learned it
seems that about 90 of the young
men addicted to the hazing habit
had made up their minds to iaze
Oscar herman, a student. whose
home is in Parkersburg. Berman
does not board at the school, but
rooms considerable distance away,
and for some time the would be ha
zers studied how to get a chance to
put him through the initiation GER
emonies
Finally plan was hit upon and
note dispatched to Berman telling
him that he was wanted at the long
distance telephone by some one in
Parkersburg.
The bait was taken, and in a
moment the young man was dashing
away for the phone, but he didn't
travel as students are supposed TO
travel, and it was this fact that
cansed his would-be hazers to bump
up against opposition most unex
pectedly. just as young Berman
reached the bottom of the Hill, down
which he had to come to reach the
/ phone, a mob OF studeuts.came after
him with rush from somewhere
out of the darkness. Bermap saw
that he was in fer an interesting
time, and pulling two big guns from
his pockets, he "cut loose" at the
advancing crowd in a manner that
would have made "Wild Bill" turn
green with envy. In just about
three seconds that crowd had dis
appeared in the darkness with bull
lets whizzlng uncomfortably close
to their heads. Berman then dis
covered that an attempt had been
made to haze him, and fearing q
repetition returned to his rooms.
Mr. Berman was seen by repre-
sentative of this paper this afternoon
and asked about the publication and
the reports in relation to it. he
said that the affair had occurred
about a month ago. He had said
nothing about it but had intended
taking bis medicine like a man.
No report of it was sent from her,
by him and he thinks that the mat
ter was learned from outside sources
1t might have been heard while
some students were in Parkersbure
recently.
The regular correspondent Of the
News here did not send the special
Mr.. Berman is not the Morgantowr
correspondent of the News.

did not do SO.
When Galitzen. the crest Of the
mountains. was reached, the front To-
connective was detached from the
train and the run to Seward was
made with one engine. The president
climbed down from his lofty seat and
after shaking hands with the engi-
neers and fremen. went back to his
car, rather dusty and grimy, but en-
thusiastic over his novel ride. While
the presidents engine occupied the
second place on the train a tunnel
seyen-eighths of a mile in length was
traversed and although the cab was
protected by windows and doors quite
a quantity of smoke found its way in.
No record-breaking run was made
while the president sat in the cab,
the speed of the train not reaching
over As miles an hour.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks,

Now York, May 1.-The stock market
was Subjected to further drastic iquIda-
ton today. carrying prices to a new low
level for the year. The tide of selling was
checked at ono time and prices established
at Il substantial recovery from the low
point by the determined support of i'm
portant banking interests. But the pres
sure became mere severe than ever after
the huying demand was seen to have been
entirely withdrawn at the higher level
to the lowest point of the day There wcr"
some fCvcrish rallies but the closing was
unsettled and unsteady and not much
above the low point There WAS no new
dcYclCpmcnt to explain the heavy selling.
and it was evidently due to general causes
and the diScOuraEing effect of last week :
fail in prices. Much liquidation was AT
tributCd to Pittshurg and Chicago sources.
This gave rise to reports during the morn
ing that the condition of the iron market
and damage to the wheat crop were To
SponSiblc for the weakness OF stocks. The
interests which have undcrwritten the
new Pennsylvania stock issue and those
connected with the United States Steel
syndicate Wero supposed to have Il share
in the suppOrt of the market. The en-
gagcmCnt of 100000 in gold for export to
Germany was Il disasrecable supplement
to the days heavy outgo to south Amer
lea But the best prices of the day for
stocks were made after the gold engage
ment was announced. Bonds were weak
in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, pan
value s., so, GOO United States bonds Were
all unchanged on the last call.
