years head of the music department of
Milton college, he left his impress upon
this section of the country. December

Clara Langworthy, an accomplished
singer and pianist, of Potter Hill, R. /.

APPAM IS RESTORED
TO BRITISH OWNERS
U. S. Supreme Court Holds Ger.
mans Violated Neutrality.

WASHINGTON - British claim
ants of the German prize ship lAppam,
at Newport News, Va, won their suit
to regain possession of the vessel and
cargo when the United States SUI
preme court ruled in their favor.
In sustaining the British libel at
tachment suit against the Appam and
cargo, the court held that the British
owners are entitled to restitution be-
cause the Apparn violated American
neutrality.
Treaties of 1899 and 1928 between
the United States and Germany, the
court held, do not entitle German
prizes, unaccompanied by the captor
warship, to indefinite American asy-
lurn. Jurisdiction of American courts
over the Appam was, upheld. The value
of the vessel and cargo is about 49,
100000.

It is gratifying to know that here
after news concerning the war loan
will be given out locally by men who
realize the value Of publicity and are
willing to cooperate with the news
papers-men who do not consider 1t
beneath the dignity Of their posi-
lions to see asreporter occasionally
wien news of vital interest to the
public is in the making. Heretofore
it has been extremely difficult to get
news through the proper channels,
because the Federal Reserve Bank
Of New York has sought, apparent
~, TO throw an air Of mystery
around almost everything connected
with government financing. Ere
ouently news has reached New York
via the Philadelphia and Boston Re-
serve banks and even then it has
sometimes been difficult to get a
tardy confirmation from the officers
Of the local institution, who hold
aloof from newspaper men as much
as possible.

The stock market INDUCED in a
day of cheerfulness for a change,
though the sharp contrast with the
gloom prevailing last week had little
foundation in the news, save for the
vague reports concerning the de-
velopment of means for combating
the submarine. But whatever the
reason, the fact was that selling
pressure was by no means so heavy
as it had been in several Immediately
preceding sessions and there was
actually something like a rush of
short covering. Since the market
would not go down, those who had
sold in anticipation of further de-
cline shifted their positions and in
consequence prices advanced sharply,
the gains ranging from small frac.
items to above three points in the
more active issues. Relatively few
stocks lost ground.

Even the high grade railroad
stocks, which have been sold steadily
for some time, recovered a part of
last weeks losses. Liquidation Of
such securities continued, however,
though in somewhat smaller volume
In well informed quarters it is
learned that such liquidation has, in
the last week or ten days, amounted
to many millions of dollars, and that
most Of those who are selling are
rich men who intend TO reinvest the
proceeds in government bonds, part
ly because the tax exempt feature
makes them a desirable investment,
ard partly for patriotic reasons.
Not much good can be accomplished
that way, however, because for every
dollars worth Of securities which are
sold the buying power of the market
is depleted just that much, so the net
result is that a risk is shifted and
in the process security values are
unnecessarily depressed. What is
needed is unemployed money, and
credit, and not the mere exchange
Of one security for another.

Wall Street, May 7.
A sudden cessation of the recent
lduidating movement in rails ana
other investment securities stu
fened the stock market and effected
partial readjustment of prices to higher
levels. The improvement probably bore
direct relation to the plea of the rail-
road companies for increased freight
rates, which assumed more concrete
form in the hearing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
The short interest of professional
traders, who dominated the situation
the greater part of the preceding week,
found it expedient to cover contracts,
not only in rails, but in high grade in
dustrials, metals and numerous special
ties.
Coppers were in more active demand,
to the accompaniment Of favorable
trade reports, which are said to involve
orders for over a billion pounds OF the
metal running into the third quarter of
the year. Oils were higher on indica-
tions of an increase in the crude and
refined products, and motors were ele-

II. r. Duval, president of the COM
pany, presents figures to the stockhold-
ers. showing that receipts per bag of
sugar produced last year increased
$L35, while expenses per bag of sugar
increased % cents. Net earnings per
bag increased $1.09 compared with the
preceding twelve months. The com
pany's campaign last year produced in
all 2155,963 bags of sugar, against
1852, GG2 the year before. Discussing
the market, he says:
"The early expectations in the Unit
ed States for a domestic beet produc
tion of about 20.OO0,000 bags. based on
an increased acreage, were not realized;
adverse climatic conditions in many
districts affected the tonnage of beets
and their sugar content, thus reducing
the outcome in sugar to l6,400,000 bags
from 17,500,000 bags the preceding year.
At the close of this company's last
fiscal year there was a carTyover by
all beet sugar producers Of the 1916
