There was a meeting Of the investi-
cation committee of the Business Men S
Association that is probing the Eastern
High School muddIe last night Several
witnesses were examined and consider
able important testimony taken, but
whether 1t was favorable or not to MI.

tee refused to dlvulge.
The investigation IS now about at an
end as far as the taking OF testimony is
concerned Alter this the evidence win
be carefully weighed. No special effort
Is being made to rush things, as it is
the desire of the committee to obtain
an unprejudiced report.
The report viii be IN the form of a
recommendation 10 the Business Mems
Association. Whether this recommen-
dation will be submitted to the Board of
Education or not, has not yet beer
stated, but should It prove unfavorabIe

their assertions.
There VIII be no Iet-up in the inVesti-
cation conducted by the East Washing

relative TO the final report can be OBJ
tained from any of the members of the

placed in the hands OF the Business

NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.

Sharp advances in issues of which the
market is at all times likely to be bare
were again the most numerous incidents
OF the trading. Opinion was divided as
to whether these movements were ad-
justments OF neglected stocks 10 the
present level of the major issues, or
whether they were being deliberately en-
gineered for the purpose of affecting
speculative sentiment. The weight of
more valuable judgment inclined to the
latter view. The point was made, how
ever, that these movements We're aimed
less at attracting public attention than
such demonstrations often are, on ac-
count OF the well-recogniZed futility of
appealing to a wide speculative interest
while the crops are sun hanging in the
balance. Some traders complained that
the market lacked new leadership" bat
others admitted that it had none at all
