Jackson in Report Declares
Organization Is Prepared
To Retake Institution.

That George Washington Cniver-
sity, which for seventy years was
the seat of education for Baptists in
this country, was Illegally trans
tered from the Baptist sect to the
present trustees, and will be con-
traverted to Baptist ownership, and
that the contemplated merger of
that university with the American
University will be stopped immedi-
ately, was the gist of the report or
L. Hinton Jackson, moderator, at
yesterdays session of the Columbia
Association of Baptist Churches In
the Second Baptist Church
Tho topic of Jackson's report was
Education"
The Catholics have more money
invested in education in Washing
ton than all the Protestant churches
combined" he said. In continuing.
he indicated the plans of the Bap-
lists in tie investment of the huge
fund. which will approximate $5O'-
100000, recently acquired by a ma
tional education al campaign.
Reviews University History.
lie made a complete review of the
history of the George Washington
University as Baptist institution,
starting with its inception eighty
six years ago as Columbian Univer-
sity. He told of the transfer from
.he Baptists, consummated because
of the pecuniary strain on the sect
at that time. and asked the return
~ a an1nu-raanfG hu
vent with the transfer.
The American university has
property. and Georgewashington has
students. and while the merger may
carry weight. the Baptists do not
tavor it," was one of his statements.
Many promises made by the trus-
tees of George Washington at the
lime of the transfer were untitled"
Jackson said
"Now that Baptists have reog-
nized the meaning of education in
its real sense, and created the vast
sum for the upkeep. we are pre-
pared to retake the institution and.
while 1t may be operated on the
same principle now In effect. it will

This man is the shift boss at the

welcome a chance 10 fire me. I never
gave him the opportunity SO, in or
Dire TO get rid OF me he started TO

been making trouble. which u deny.
He also tried to put me out OF the

Stock Market
Continues Dull:
II ails Yield
Professionals Again Domi-
nate Trading; Oils Are i'm
Better Demand; Money
at 10 Per Cent

Professional traders were mainly re-
sponsible for what little activity there
was in the stock market yesterday.
The price movement at tho Exchange
was extremely irregular. In general
way the industrial shares showed mod
crate improvement. while the rails
were inclined to be heavy as 9 result
Of proflt-taking sales.
The market started out with an ir-
regular price range, and soon after
the opening developed fair degree Of
strength under leadership Of the oil
shares. Afterward the motors and the
railway equipment shares were taken
up, but the movement halted before
midday, and thereafter the market
backed and filled without getting any
where in particular.
The advance in the oil shares, which
was led by Mexican Petroleum, Pan
Transcontinental, was apparently based
upon the higher prices quoted on crude
petroleum in the different producing
areas which seems to be the result Of
underproduction.
New speculative buying appeared in
the equipment group on the prospects
Of large orders to be placed by the rail-
roads for new rolling stock. Ono of
the steel trade publications estimated
III us weekly review OF market COnO1-
tions that contracts for at least 100000
cars are likely to be placed within the
course of the next two months.
While the selling of the railroad
shares was not heavy, the absence Of
buying power caused prices to give way
rather easily The market in the rails
has been thin for long time past,
prices moving easily in either direction.
The selling in the past day or two has
bcen for the account Of professional
traders who bought in anticipation Of
a rise and are now taking their profits.
Tbs professional traders, who have
been working on the short side Of the
market for weeks, made an attempt to
force prices off early in the day yes
terday, but their effort was not re-
warded with much success, and the SELL
ing from that quarter slackened dur
ing tho remainder Of the session.
Call money held throughout the day
at 10 per cent, which was also the re-
newal rate. This Is the rate that has
been quoted since the beginning Of the
week. No signs of any easing in the
money situation have yet appeared, and
it is the best banking opinion that
little relief can be looked for until after
the middle of the month, if then.

Street Feels Better

g. "A better feeling was abroad in Wall
Street yesterday. 1t was one of those
psychological changes that frequently
occur in the financial district without
apparent al change. Market observers
SAID that somehow they felt more hope
full over the outlook than they had for
several days, although they we're un-
able to explain the change. The stock
market was slow affair with q small
turnover and an indefinite trend. Fluc-
tuatlons in prices were not at all con-
slstent. Stocks in the same groups
moved in opposite directions in many
instances. 1t certainly could not be-
said that the more cheerful feeling was
based upon an improved tone in the
stock market, as has frequently been
me case of late. Word was sent ont
to the customers Of several of the large
commission houses that, while no ono
can expect sustained advance in
stocks because of the credit tanple
the time has arrived when it might b.
wise to pick up few of TIE seasoned

Report Shows 492 Defaults

Following the usual tendency, fail
ures during February were fewer in
number than those of January. the de-

parison with the relatively moderate
closes a substantial reduction. Com
mercial defaults in the United States
