FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED IRREGULAR.

New York. May 21.-Shipings were
the overshadowing features of todaysl
further active operations on the stock
exchange, their unstrt course
changing relatively strong opening
and mid-sess:on to an irregular or
heavy close
Publication Of the details Of the sale
of Mercantile Marine British tonnage
and assets created wide demand for
the shipping division. Marine common
excepted, that stock sagging steadily
and closing at a loss of almost nine
points,
The early movement in shippings
was accompanied by active accumula-
ton of oils, motors. equipments, leath-
ers. fertilizers and sundry specialties
which usually move in keeping with
those groups, extreme gains ranging
from two to almost six points.
There was no decided move in rails
at any time. aside from sporadic activ-
ity in minor shares. especially Texas
and Pacific and related western and
southwestern issues. the higher grade
stocks rejecting realizing, with losses
of one to two points at the end.
The severe reversal of the final hour
was nrecipitated by reports Of seri-
Gus hitch in the negotiations with the
German delegates in Paris. but that
incident, 1t was generally believed,
served more as an excuse than rea-
son for the decline.
Marine preferred. Atlantic Cuff and
American International were most at
fected by the break in Marine COM
mon but rails and numerous industri-
ais also eased one to two points. while
oils and equipments cancelled much of
their gains. Sales amounted to 1900,
600 shares.
Further decentralization in remit
tances to London, Paris and Rome at
tracted little attention, more interest
being manifested in the easier trend Of
long time funds,
Minor rails and fractions were the
strongest features of the bond market,

Thorpe Reports Today.

Boston. May 21.-Officials Of the
Boston National league club an
nounced tonight that Jim Thorpe, the
Indian outfielder. purchased from the
New York National league club, would
report here tomorrow and be used
against left handed pitchers.
James c. Thorpe a Sac and Fox
Indian. one of the greatest all round
athletes ever developed in America
was born at Tucson, Arizona, in 1890
Standing close to six feet and weigh
ing in athletic condition about $50
pounds, he made track and field, foot
ball and baseball records which will
stand for years.
Thorpe came into athletic promin-
ence in his early youth, but it was
not until he entered the Carlisle In
dian school that he became nationally
famous. AS member of the famous
redskin football team, he attracted at
tention in games against the largest
university football teams of the east
and middle west
In 1912 he was selected as a member
of the American Olympic games team
which won international honors al
Stockholm. Thorpe won the greatest
individual honors of the games, scor-
ing first place in the Pentahlon and
Decathlon events, which stamped him
as the greatest athlete of his day.
An interternational sensation de-
Yeloped when it was later discovered
that he had played professional base
ball previous to his selection as a
member of the American team and
was therefore not eligible to compete
The Amateur Athletic Union of Ameri-
ca returned the trophies won by
Thorpe and they We're later awarded
20 the second place winners in these
events.
Thorpe then devoted his entire time
TO professional baseball, having beer
a ~nber of a number of minor
league teams as well as the New York
Nationals at various times during his
career

official of New Haven, Conn. arrived
here tonight to impress upon Tex

New Haven where he also became well
known in boxing circles. His last ap-
pearance in Norwich as a referee OF
bouts was when Sailor Jack Sullivan
. staged fights at the Pulaski hall al

ing he will be able to land the job and
feel confident that no man in the game
is better qualified to decide the big
fight between Willard and Dempsey

"Melt" or Be Thrown Out

I'VE believe firmly in the restriction of immigra
Wv tion and in the exclusion from shores of all
that flood of ignorance and vice. which has been permitted
to pour into America for the last twenty years. that
must quote from speech of the president
ANY foreigner who is thrown into the melting pot
of America and does not melt should be taken out
and sent away.
Bolshevsm also strongly attacked in the same
speech at Chester, S. c. last week, and although vice
presidents as a rule, amount to much, you would
go far before you found a democratic practical
and level-headed man than Thomas r. Marshall
Too many of the of Europe have landed on
American soil for the purpose Of poisoning free ns
tutions rather than conforming laws and customs
So far remember have only disagreed with the
President about great bill before Congress- and that
restricting immigration which he vetoed and Con-
gress passed his head. Our only criticism of that
bill was that it was not drastic enough.

much more this year, as the acreage
is much larger. Less than five years

Good Work Slandered

4 GOOD friend who has heard some aspersons on the
N work of the Red Cross asks if the Red Cross is a
Christian organization.
The Red Cross is purely benevolent, international
organization recognized by all civilized nations having
the right of immunity from attack when mnisterng to
wounded soldiers in war; sufferers from any national
calamity such famine a flood earthquake or
volcanic eruption.
No conditions attached to membership in the Red
Cross except the payment of membership fee and that
being it cannot be Christian organization because it
has many members who do not profess to be Christians
and some-Jews and others-who are opposed to Chris
tianity
The organization itself is not Christian, it is doing
Christian work. and has the full confidence and approval
of the great majority Christian WORKERS everywhere
