GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

The statement made by prominent
New York banking official yesterday
TO the effect that the common share
holders had n strong case in their con
tentlon concerning the accumulated
surplus of the Reading Co. made a decp
Impression in local financial circles,
more so because this bold assertion was
followed up by the challenge that the
majority Of the common stockholders
were in position to make strong
hght and were going to do so TO the
finish
This seemingly foreshadowcd a long
drawn out legal contest, unless by some
chancc the government. or, at least, the
hlghcr courts, order the immediate car
rylng out Of the Supreme Court man
date. Should the contention of the com
mon stockholders be sustained by the
District Court, It is naturally to be
expected that the preferred stockhold-
crS Will press their claim for equal
treatment with the common to the high
est tribunal. The protective commit.
tees of both classes of the Reading is
sues in the meantime are leaving no
stones unturncd in obtaining proxies
OF both the common and two preferred
shareholders. The many conflicting de-
Velopmonts attending segregation pro-
ceedlngS has created widespread con-
fusion in market circles. and any one $
guess is as good as another as to what
the outcome will be.
In the interim, the spread in the quo
tationS between the common and pre- =
terred shares is almost daily being cut
down, retlecting the inability of the
closer market observers to diagnose tho
possibilities of the real situation.

UNGENTLEMANLY CONDUCT
Charged to Chester Football Players
In Fort Mill.

In letter which he is today mail
ing to Prof. L. G. Burts of Rock Hill,
president of the Catawba Athletic as
soc:ation. composed of high schools in
the Fifth congressional district, Capt
+. NJ. Mack, superintendent of the
Fort Mill schools, protests strongly
against the conduct in Fort Mill last
Friday afternoon of members of the
Chester high school team in the foot
bali game with the local school team
and says I'VE have decided to sever
athletic relations with the Chester
high school
In his letter to Prof. Burts Capt
Mack says that many ladies who
vert out expecting to see n clean
game. such as were all the other
games we have played, were disgusted
at the conduct of certain Chester
players, one of whom in particular
used very vile language which a ma
iority Of those present could not help
but hear. This has given football an
ignOhlc name in our town; TO use
slang expression, il has killed loot
ball in Fort Mill."
After praising the strong, aggres-
sive Chester team, which he says is
one of the best high school teams he
has seen lately and that it outclassed
Fort Mill ard deserved the victory
over the local eleven, Capt. Mack
adds: AS to their being unnecessarily
rough. engaging in slugging, illegal
use of hands, feet, etc, | have nothing
To say. as that was a matter for
referee and umpire who officiated at
the game. and has nothing to do with
our decision to sever athletic relations
with the Chester high school. Fort

$4,000 FOR CATS
Fool Woman Provides for Animals
While Human Beings Starve.

Cats all over the world will benefit
from the 100000 obtained by the sale
of the Even Homestead in New York
city.
Miss Caroline Even, who occupied
the property for years with her two
sisters, had a passion for caring for
cats. 1t was her dream that every
cat should have plenty of catnip, milk
and a comfortable backyard fence to
play on during every one of its nine
lives. She devoted her life to estab-
fishing sanatoriums and relief or
ganizations for stray cats and when
she died, left all her estate save $500
for carrying on the work. She cut off
her two sisters in her will because
they were not sufficiently enthusiastic
about cats.
The money for rescuing the cat
population of the world became avail
able when her nephew recently settled
his contest of her will out of court.
