$2,5OO,OOO SCHOOL
LOAN EAGERLY TAKEN
General Prosperity Indicated
by Bids That Trebly Over
subscribe Total Issue

General prosperity was evidenced this
afternoon at special meeting of the
Finance Committee Of the Board Of Fdu-
cation, when loan Of s2,5OO,OoO floated
to effect improvements in the public school
system, was oversubscribed three times.
The loan was authorized to pay for the
erection Of school buildings and public
school office building and for the purchase
of sites for buildings The entire issue
was awarded to the banking firm Of
Brown Brothers 4 Co, who offered a
premium of SIS on each 500 of the s2,-
100000. Their bid was almost equaled
| by that Of Newberger. Henderson 4 Loeb,
who offered TO pay SIS for the ISSUE
A bid Of s1OO.157S jointly by the
three banking firms of Reilly, Brock
& Co, Il. w. Clark & Co. and Graham &
Co. Reilly, Brock & Co floated loan of
s200O000 last year for the Board of
| Education The liberallty with which Of
fers on the loan were forthcoming was n
sign of prosperity, according TO Edwin
Wolf, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee.
| ut shows that everybody has money"
he said. 1T also shows that school bonds
are growing In popularity among invest
ors. The chief attraction of school bonds
lies In the fact that they are exempt from
tho Federal income tax and all other forms
Of assessment"
The loan of s2,5OO,O 900 was floated in the
form of registered bonds in denominations
of $500, $1,000 and $4,000. Interest will
be paid on these bonds at rate of per
cent. and the first payment of principal
will occur in 1926 Interest as we'll as
principal will be paid through the Farm
ers and Mechanics National Bank.
The premium obtained IN the loan this
year was slightly less uan that received
last year, when a loan was floated by the
Board of Education. This was due to the
fact that interest at the rate Of I Il per
cent. was paid on the previous loan. In
proportion to this difference, the Board
of Education realized a greater sum than
It did last year.
II Is estimated that the premium which
Brown Brothers & Co must pay for the
privilege of floating the loan will amount
to Stg,500. Three bids were received
on the entire issue, but there were many
offers for fractions of the 50, 500, 900.
Some of these camo from women in all
parts of Pennsylvania others from ex-
ecutors of estates and from private cor
porations.
All of the bids were filed with William
Dick, secretary of the Board of Educa-
tion, and opened promptly at noon in the
presence of the Finance Committee as well
as bidders Intense interest was mani
Tested among spectators when the sealed
offers were opened

Steel Boiler Tubes Advanced

PITTSBURGH, AJril 1.-THE National
Tube Company has advanced welded steel
boiler tubes 4 points, or about SO n ton.
No change is made in standard steel pipe,
while oil country goods are advanced
about Sc per ton. The total advance in
welded steel boiler tubes on this move
ment is 10 points, or about S3S per ton.
The occasion of this extra advanced as
compared with other steel products is
that, on account of war demand, seamless
tubes have become almost unobtainable,
and an extra demand for welded steel
boiler tubes has thus been created.

and state mine rescuers who tonight PEN
etrated the Bessie mines of the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron company near
here, where early today eighteen negroes
and nine white men were entombed as
the result Of a gas explosion, believe
at least eight of the miners are still

said, by the discovery that air is COM
ing through pipe from a portion of the
mine where that number of men were
located when the explosion occurred.

ed since early this morning when two
unidentified bodies of white men were
brought to the surface. These two. vic
tins had been decapitated by the force
of the explosion.
The rescue work is being prosecuted
under the direction of State Mine In
