NEW YORK. Nov. 24.--The con
srast OF the wide movements In op-
posite directions OF a few stocks In
todays market did not conceal the I'M
settlement still existing in the specu-
latise sentiment over the issues pre-
sented in the standard or case.
The conferences constantly being
held amongst corporation counsel
and directing authorities In the great
corporations are testimony TO the
feeling over the situation. A feature
OF the developments today WAS the
alteration In the attitude of corpora
ton authorities towards the policy
Of moving for repeal or modification
OF the Sherman anti-trus; law. This
change in the corporation attitude was
accompanied by intimations from
Washington that the views of the adj
ministrstion regarding changes In the
law should be modified in face OF the
Standard OIL decision.
Large speculative activity conferred
in the copper stocks yet ana fears
that the proposed consolidation of
copper producers would be prevent

OXFORD MEN REFUSE TO
ROW AGAINST HARVARD.

Boston, May 27.-There will be no
Harvard Oxford boat race this year.
Negotiations leading to such race
have been on for some time, conditions
al, of course, on whether Harvard beat
Yale at New London. A letter has been
received from England that Oxford has
decided not to accept the invitation to
row the Americans and that the Oxo-
mans would break training directly
after the Henley regatta.
Ex-Capt. Higginson, who used to row
at Harvard, is in London, and he con-
Quoted the negotiations. He found the
oxford men not particularly eager for
a race. However. after the Cambridge
race six of the eight Dark Blues were
willing to stay in training and so vot-
ed. The two others had planned vaca-
ton trips which they would not forego.
Harvard was willing to make conces-
sions, and agreed to let any men Ok
ford might select, graduate or others
sit in the places left vacant.
Arrangements by Harvard for financ-
ing the trip had been made, and the
refusal of the oxford men to row the
race was big disappointment.

GOV. HUGHES VET0ES
the HAMn AUTO BILL.

Albany, N Y, May Ex-Governor
Hughes announced today that he had
vetoed the Hamn automobile bill the
chief provision of which were the abol-
ition of specific speed limitations and
the annual registration Of automobiles
at increased fees. The measure was ad-
vocated by the New York State Auto
mobile Association and it had been es-
timated that if enacted into law. the
registration and license fees imposed
would have yielded an annual revenue
of 100000 for the repair of improved
highways.
While he declared the revenue pro-
visions of the bill important in view of
the large amounts the state is expend-
ing annually on improved highways,
the subject of paramount consideration
at this time is the protection to life
and limb He points out that whatever
may be said as to the wisdom of rule
requiring simply care and prudence in
the operation of automobiles so far as
the open country is concerned, large
cities should not be deprived of the
right to make reasonable traffic regu-
lations to insure the safety and con-
venience of the public.

Foam as a Fire Extinguisher.

Consul Thomas H. Norton of Chem
nitZ submits the following description
of new German mechanism for
fighting fire:
Fire chiefs and insurance companies
are familiar with the dangers and diff
fculty inherent to combating confa-
grations where petroleum, gasoline,
benzine, or other liquid hydrocarbons
lighter than water, are involved. AS
Is well known, the attempts to ex-
tinguish with streams of water in such
cases results usually in spreading
of the iafiammable liquid. Ar Increase
of the area of combustion, and a
greater intensity of confiagration. The
use of steam or of current of inert
gas is available only for incipient con-
fiagrations in well-closed rooms. It
presupposes. also the permanent loca-
ton on the spot of stationary appara-
tus for the purpose.

Much Doubt
Over Outcome of
!. Mott Haven Game

Cambridge, Mass, May 27.-Seldom
in the history of intercollegiate sport
has there been SO much doubt regard
ing the outcome of the track and field
championship known as the Mott Ha-
ven games, as surrounds the 34th an
nual meeting which begins tomorrow
within the white walls of the spacious
Harvard stadium. Twenty Eastern
colleges will be represented by nearly
1000 trained sprinters, runners, leap
ers and weight men, and 10 of the in
situations will have contestants in
every one of the 13 events.
Some of the colleges are especially
strong on the track, but have not the
high class performers in the field
events, while others have a number of
strong heavy representatives and few
light sprinters. AS usual, some of the
smaller colleges have two or three men
who may gather in points which will
ruin the chances of larger teams.
Two years ago the Stadium was the
scene of one of the most remarkable
meetings in the history of track and
field games-four new records being
established. While it is not expected
that new marks will be substituted in
any event this year, nevertheless, some
very fast times have been made al
ready this year in the sprints, the mid
die and long distance runs, and hurdles,
and good heights have been cleared and
long distances covered in the field
events.
Close followers of the sport look for
an unusually keen contest between
yo1c Cornell and Harua ri with panp-
sylvania, Princeton and Michigan
standing ready to jump in to take adj
vantage of any weakness developing
among the favorites. The preliminary
qualifying events will be held tomor-
row and Saturday will witness the
finals.
