Boston, May 22.--The preliminaries in twelve of the fourteen events com posing the championship program for the New England Intercollegiate Ath- etic association were run off on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology field yesterday. Dartmouth, as was expected, was the big team to qualify. no less than twenty-four of the Hanover athletes getting into the finals and at least one man scoring in each event. Four men from Dart mouth qualified in the quarter mile run and the shot put, three in the furlong and broad jump and two in the century and pole vault, with one man in each Of the six remaining events.

impairment of confidence referred to above. Liquidation has been quite severe in the speculative stocks; and as buying has frequently been of good character, the technical position Of the market has probably been rna- teriaiy strengthened. The slow progress of the war and the disap- pointment which that means has been an important factor of depression in this market Opinions as to the fu- ture are extremely hazardous. This market is still dominated by the bit ter struggle in which nearly all of the civilized powers of the world are now involved, except ourselves. Un- der such conditions it is impossible to indulge in enthusiastic or perma - nent optimism. War means destruc- tion and not prosperity, except to the oItuhate lew. The great strength of this country, financially and in- dustrlally, lies in its complete isola- ton from the struggle. and the more completely that isolation is main tained the, better for all concerned Now that Italy has decided to enter the war, the end should be hastened and this would be builish influence. There is no lack of good investments to be- had in the market at attractive prices. Speculative operations, how ever, will have to be conducted with caution and a close watch maintained upon daily events. Sharp fuctua- tons and suden activity are inevit- able accompaniments of the war. A favorable outcome in our negotiation with Germany would cause a sharp recovery, while the reverse would nat urally depress prices.

RIGGS BANK CASE UNDER ADV|SEhENT
|lgdge Allows s5,O00 Interest Due lh; Balk.

KY Washington, May 22.-At the con. |clnsion of five days of argument, Jus Rice Mccoy of the district supreme Eourt~took under adviseme ent yester- |day the motion of the government $oA dismiss the suit brought by the Riggs National bank to .enjoin Secre- farys McAdoo, Comptroller of the Cur Eency Williams and Treasurer Burke From alleged unlawful persecution of the bank.
 Relief sought by the plaintiff pend Ing litigation was denied by the court, except as to the payment into the kreasury of S5,000 interest on bonds lue the bank and withheld to cover Penalties imposed by the comptroller or failure to furnish certain reports. k5temporary restraining order against he payment of this money into the reasury was granted at the outset the proceedings, and the court later ill pass upon the question of con- nuing it.
 Decision Before July 1.
 Justice Mccoy indicated that he kould occupy some time considering fe case. but would endeavor to dis {ose of it before July 1. In denying he prayer for an injunction pending {tlgation he said that without con- Guering what evidence might here Sersbe presented, there was nothing
 the record before him now which

 select the Riggs bank as a reserve kency.
 Tt seems to me on the record as it ands chat the government officials pul5 be remiss in their duty in se- Gting it as an agent for new appli- pnt banks said the justice. 'The 9fdence here is of persistent viola |dnss of the law and those violations Id not begin when Mr. Williams came Ito office, and they have continued
 this day"
 Not Good Policy.
 As judge in passing on banking lestions, Justice Mccoy added, 1t light not be out of place for him to y that the policy of not having de- Ssits in stock exchange banks as kmpared with commercial banks as good one, and that congress d adopted the same view as ex- (essed in, the federal reserve act.
 The court also considered on the cord as now made up the charge Rat Secretary McAdoo showed mal- s~nsan interview in his office with, kggs bank officials. The justice said
