TRADING AGAIN HEAVY

Speculation Extensive, But Investment
Issues Are More Prominent
Steel Active.

New York. April 20.-Extensiye spec
ulation in stocks was resumed yester-
day. with this difference, however, that
investment issues were most prominent.
Union Pacific. st. Paul, Northern Pa
cifc Canadian Pacific. Atchison, Balti-
more & Ohio. New York Central. Read
ing, Lehigh Valley and other dividend
payers rose one TO three points in the
first hour. United States Steel was
again the active feature, its opening
dealings representing 1900 shares at 60
TO 60A, from which it soon fell a full
point over Saturdays close. There was
marked subsistence of the recent spec.
tacular gyrations in war specalties. some
of these falling back decidedly, doubt
less on heavy profit taking. Mexican
petroleum was the only stock in the spe-
eial group to make an sppreeiable ad-
vance, gaining ~ points. Business in
the first hour totalled almost $4,000
shares. Bonds were entirely neglected
during that period in the general demand
for stocks.
A fresh outburst OF activity occurred
in the afternoon transactions passing
the million share mark shortly after one
o'clock. Speculation extended TO other
stocks. Canadian Pacific gaining over
four points. The Harrimans also rose

About the most fragrant disregard of
the motor vehicle law of Vermont was
furnished by Tieonderoga, n. y, man
who drove an automobile around Rut-
land without semblance of registration
plates either displayed or carried with
the vehicle. That the violator of the
law got off as easily as by the payment
of a S. fine and costs of $3.50 does not
serve to mitigate the offense in the least
respect. The proper display of regstra-
ton plates is very reasonable require
ment of the motor vehicle regulation
law and the enforcement of that section
OF the law should be thorough.

REQUEST TO BURLINGTON CHURCH.
Willard Crane Left $4,000 in Trust For
Current Expenses.

Burlington, April 20.--Announcement
was made Sunday at the Baptist church
by the pastor, Rev. J. S. Braker that
David G. Crane and his brother, Willard
Crane. deceased, had given the Baptist
state convention the sum of $4,000 in
trust, the income to go for current ex-
penses of the Burlington church.
Rev. Mr.. Dawson, secretary and SUI
perintendent for the Baptist state con-
vention said that the income from this
memorial gift would bring the church
at the present rate of interest $500
per year and that this might prove
blessing or a curse, accordingly as it was
received by the people If they say this
will make it easier for us" then it would
be curse; but if the people, encouraged
by it, undertook greater things for God
and expected greater things from God,
then it would be blessing, and he call

and the unusually large congregation

DR.. Dawson further said that this was
a splendid gift, but had the Cranes not
given any money for the support of the
church after they had gone, they had
indeed given TO the church a great leg
acy in their children. for which all should
thank God.
Willard Crane was member OF the
church for IS years and his brother for
81 years.

Let Them Be Keel Hauled.

How far are the landlubber reform
ers to be allowed to go? Three years
ago they were permitted to substitute
''left" and. right" for port" and "star-
board" Now it is actually proposed to
substitute for "fathom" with all its
flavor of the salt sea the prosaic nomen-
clature of the landsman and mark charts

being importuned for opinions on this
proposed change should strike and as

reference and ease of reading compared
with the glories which Bullen and Rob

Resignation of President Spooner.

| General regret will be felt throughout
the state at the resignation of Presi-
dent Charles II. Spooner of Norwich
university, which was accepted last Sat
urday.
Mr.. Spooner has been president OF
| Norwich since 1902 and during the
twelve years of his administration the
college has enjoyed the greatest pros
perity of its history. Students have in
creased in number and the educational
standards have been raised As a mill
tary college Norwich has been brought
to front rank, as recognized year aft
er year by the war department. The ad-
Iministration of DR.. Spooner has multi
piled the resources of the college several
times. A number of new buildings have
been secured, including hall named aft
er Admiral Dewey and Carnegie Ii
brary.
President Spooner has been a tireless
worker, deyotedly consecrated to the up
building of Norwich, and fearless and
tactful in combating every attack made
upon it. He has had some trying ex-
periences, especially in the past two
years, but has always borne himself with
dignity and has never forgotten to be
courteous. To be really known, DIR.
Spooner needed to be seen in the uniform
of his country among his own cadets on
the Norwich campus, where he exempli
fed at once the honor Of soldier and
the grace of a scholar Under his lead
ership Norwich has gained an enviable
reputation for the efficiency of her grad
yates, and the college will be fortunate
if her recent record can be sustained
under the administration of President
Spooner's uccessor.-Middlebur Reg

Germany would relinquish her efforts to
maintain the advantage gained early in
the war which would go far toward
humbling Great Britain and securing the
North sea front in case victory should
fall to the German arms. As matter
OF fact, Germany may be depended upon
to exert all efforts to keep that foothold
on Belgium at least, if not upon north
eastern France; and reports to the con
trary cannot be anything but misleading
Germany is not ready to relax her ac-
tiyity on the western front and the pres.

strength for a supreme effort. The al

having examined the strike situation gen.
orally, coming to their knowledge the in

resting them even if only hatefully point

longer to delay the requirement of some
