WIDE FLUCTUATIONS IN
! WALL STREET MARKET

NEW YORK, June 1.-For the first
time in over a week the initial trading
in stocks showed some irregularity,
with here and there a weak spot, a
most natural change from the steady
upturn that has been the order of the
day for so long.
Profits on the long side begin to
look very tempting after 10 points net
has been added to values. and it has in
very many cases in the New York list.
No market can go one way all the
solute necessity in the interest of a
healthy and not overexpanded condi-
tion of the market.
And then a little later there were
fairly good rallies and some higher
prices were established, and then an
other wave of taking profits. always a
signal for the bears to begin their sell
ing, brought further and more severe
receSsionS throughout the list.

Some Disturbing Factors.

There are some things in the situa-
tion that are not to the liking of con-
servatives. Russia is the sore spot, and
is being watched with much concern.
The war was brought nearer by a re-
port that the port of New York had
been closed. which proved to be the
fact, although a later order opening the
harbor for the passing of shipping was
issued.
But this very fact brought home to
the trading element the possibilities,
not to say the probabilities. of the fu-
ture, and caused much nervousness,
while encouraging the bears in their
efforts.
The bears were not permitted to cash
in on the smashing declines that fol-
lowed the report of the closing of the
port, for the reason that the reopening
came SO quickly, and the upturn was as
quick and almost as pronounced as the
decline.

Court Decides
Harvard Must Use
Mckay Millions
Agreement Giving Three
6fths of Income to Massa-
chusetts Institute Invalid
Especial Correspondence

BOSTON, Nov. 27.-The Massaehu-
setts Supreme Court declared invalid
to-day the agreement between Harvard
University and Massachusetts, Insti-
tute Of Technology, whereby Tech. was
to receive three-hfths Of the income
Of the endowment from the fund which
Gordon Mckay. one OF the pioneers in
the shoe machinery industry. left to
Harvard for a school Of applied sci
enee. The fund i expected to be more
than s25,OO0,0O upon the death of the
last Of eighteen annuitants.
The matter came before the court
on the petition of the president and
fellows of Harvard tor ratification of
the agreement. Harvard made the
agreement because il had abandoned
the Lawrence Scientific School. always
a poor rival Of Tech, and not a great
success in late years. and felt that 1t
would be wasteful to have two great
engineering schools within a mile Of
each other in Cambridge.
The court finds. however, that the in
come of the Mckay endowment must
be administered according TO the in
tention Of the founder, even though it
be at variance with present views of
policy and expedieney.
The agreement was opposed by the
trustees OF the Mckay will, who are
Frank +. Stanley and George f. Gil
bert. Their counsel was joan c. Mil
burn, OF New York.
When the Mckay endowment was an
nounced a Harvard-"Tech merger was
proposed, and it was defeated through
the opposition Of "Tech" alumni.
Then "Tech" moved from Boston
over 10 Cambridge and to a new plant
which its alumni largely paid for, and
Harvard made the agreement in ques-
tion. President MacLaurin Of Tech"
testified before the court that out of
Tech" budget this year of Sl,043.000
only 100000 would be received from
Harvard. He and President Lowell
would make no comment on the deci-
sion. Several score Harvard students
are now at Tech" under the agree
ment, which has been in operation four
years.

Tina Lerner Plays Chopin S
B Minor Sonata at
Aeolian Hail

Miss Tina Lerner. who is no stranger
to New York audiences, gave recital
yesterday afternoon az Aeolian Hall.
Miss Lerner has already won sure
position in the ranks OF women
pianists. She is an artist whose mu-
steamship is always excellent, who
displays taste. and, when necessary,
reticence of style. She does not allow
her temperament to take an exuberant
holiday. and if she rarely startles she
usually pleases. Her playing yester-
day of the Chopin minor Sonata
was straightforward and unexagger-
ated, while Nozart's "Pastorale Nariee'
she gave smoothly and delicately: An
audience of moderate size received her
sympathetically
Miss Kitty Cheathaw may be de-
pended upon never TO deliver her mes
sage twice in exactly the same manner.
That her message mas wide appeal is
always evinced by the size of her audi
ence, and never more so than IN the
case of the one which gathered last
night at Carnegie Hall. Miss
Cheatham had the assistance OF Miss
Saller, a Scandinavian woman con-
Guctor, who directs male orchestra.
The orchestra was small, and aside
from the fact that its leader was a
woman it offered nothing which would
call forth a ripple Of interest. Miss
Saller directed in wOrkmanllke enough
fashion Mendelssohn's "FingaPs Cave
overture. TschaikOwsky's Nut Cracker
Suite" and a number of Miss Cheat
hams accomplishments.
II cannot be said that the large au-
ditorium was suited either TO Miss
Cheatham's voice or method. She sang
songs by Schumann and Beethoven
and Strauss, folksongs. children's
songs, negro songs, prefaclng them all
with her Characteristic little talks
talks which require intimacy OF mood
and surroundings. Miss Cheatham even
essayed to sing from Haydn's "Crea-
tion" The large audience was warmly
responsive 70 all that il received. Miss
Cheatham has the courage OF her con-
victions. and she fills what is evident
IS a real want in our community.
