Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD
New HAVEN. Conn, Feb. 24.--Since
the announcement that Prof. James
Rowland Angel is to succeed Dr. Ar
thur T. Hadley as president Of Yale the
question of who is to take the place Of
Arson Phelps Stokes as secretary has oc-
cupied the minds of students, graduates
and faculty OF the university. Mr.. Stokes
will leave the university July l.
1t Is regarded as significant that in
his letter of resignation, made puplic
several days ago. Mr.. Stokes took ocea-
sion to call the attention OF the corpora
ton to the fact that the experience of
Mlnott A. Osborn. assistant secretary,
would undoubtedly prove OF great value
to the new administration.
Mr.. Osborn, who has held his present
position for two years. is considered one
of the strong possibilities. He is grad
uate OF the class of 1907. received his

The choice Of secretary rests with DIR.

2 STOCK YARD SALES
APPROVED COURT
Armour & Co. Are Out of Both
Chicago and Denver in Anti
Trust Dispersal.

wAsHINGToN. Feb. 24,--Sale by Ar
mour & Co. OF its interest in the Chicago
stock yards to F. II. Prince & Co. OF
Boston was authorized to-day by the
District OF Columbia Supreme Court
AS the packing company owned only
twenty shares of stock in the yards and
Prince & Co. the remainder. the Govern
ment interposed no objections. The
price paid was sf.5oo,ooO.
The court also consented to the sale
by Armour & Co. OF forty shares Of the
Denver stock yards stock to George
Granger. The price was not made
public
Hearings on other features of the re-
vised plans OF the five big packers for
disposal of their stock yard, stock yard
terminal and market newspaper hold
ings in accordance with the voluntary
decree issued about year ago were
continued until next Monday.
: The court intimated that plans filed by
Morris & CO.. Wilson & Co. and the
Cudahy Packing Company. providing an
immediate surrender of their holdings TO
q trust company to be named Dy tne
court, were most nearly in accordance
with the idea in the mind of the court.
The trust company. under the plans.
would be under complete control Of the
court. Technical objections only have
been presented by the Government TO the
Norris and Cudahy plans. and no ob1ec-
tons have been interposed to the carry
ing out of the Wilson plan.
Much of the argument before the
court to-day had to do with the plans
submitted by Swift & Co. and by Armour
Assistant. Attorney-General Kresei con-
tended that the Swift and Armour plans
did not provide for an early and COM
plete Investment or for absolute control
BY the court during the period of sale
He declared that on some OF the stock q
prohlbitive price was being placed by the
packers asserting that they were holding
the St Louis yards at $40. per share,
when Wilson & Co, In their plan, had ad-
mitted that the best offer made to them
for their holdings of that stock had been
only sSs.
Attorneys for Armour denied that q
prohibitive price was being asked, ana
asserted that, except In few instances,
the price fixed was far below the stock
value and the value fixed by appraisers.
Counsel for Wilson explained that the
price was due to the feeling among In
vestors that the court would order an I'M
mediate sale at any obtainable figure.

SWEET CORN FARMERS

Seek to Shift Burden of Re-

krousTA. Ae., Feb. 24.--Whether
farmers should grow sweet corn for less
than five cents pound this year is a
question now being considered by grow
ers and packers. Charles II. Crawford of
Dexter. secretary of the Maine Sweet
Corn Growers Association, stated here
to-day.
Consumers are buying lightly" Mr..
Crawford said. expecting the retail
price to be reduced and packers say that
as the prices OF most everything arc
considerably lower the price Of sweet
corn should share the same fate.
1--WE Cranky admit that the price OF

gclher too high and there IS much chance
for reduction in the retail price with

out of the maze of explanation and
criticism, embracing some fact and
much fiction, regarding prices and
wages in the steel industry, THE NEW
YORK HERALD deems it useful to pre-
sent q brief survey Of that industry's
present and probable future status.
The dispute over prices and wages
among the various producers OF steel,
and the resultant check to business in
many lines makes it Imperative for
the good Of the nations declare a great
many important persons, that there
be readjustment not only, in the
steel industry but in the hundreds of
enterprises affected by it.
The determination of what les policy
is going to be in the future is, of
course a large undertaking for any
concern. 1T is not TO be wondered at,
therefore, that the United States Steel
Corporation hesitates on the brink of
a definite statement on whether it in
tends to reduce prices and wages or
try to keep them where they are.
Thus far Judge Gary. chairman of the
corporation, has gone no further than
10 say he cannot see the virtue of
cutting prices and wages. but he has
not said that he would not see the vir-
tue OF such a policy in the future.
How the Increases Began.
Naturally this attitude Of the leader
Of the steel industry mas proved exas-
perating 10 companies which have de-
sired or been compelled to cut prices and
wages below the Steel Corporation level.
In this connection 1t may be appropriate
70 sum up the policy or the Steel Cor
poration on wages and prices as a means
OF clearing the atmosphere.
The first increase OF 10 per cent. in
the wages OF the steel workers was inade
by the Steel Corporation on February /.
1916. when common labor was getting
1871 cents an hour and the average wage
OF All employees exclusive of executive
and selling forces was $2.02 q day. At
that time 1t was explicitly stated that
the increase was granted to bring wages
more in line with the increased cost of
living. The cost OF living, according to
the Bureau of Labor index, had ad-
vanced from the base OF 100 in 1914 to
an average of LOG for February. 1916.
On the other hand, there had been an
increase from base of 100 for steel
prices in 1914 to an average of about
1872 In February. 1918.
1t viii be seen that the increase Ia
wages bore a relation both to the profits
Of the corporation from increased prices
and to the increased cost OF living. It is
possible from this first increase to de-
duce the corporations policy which has
maintained up to the present time. 1t had
determined not only to increase wages
TO the equivalent of the increased cost
OF living. but to elevate somewhat the
standard OF living of its employees. Thai
policy has been adhered to ever since.

Special Despatch TO THE New YorK HERALD.
New York Herald bureau,
Albany. Feb. "a.
New York is to institute the first State
police school in the country. Gov. Miller
to-day consented to the establishment
of the school In order to retain Major
George r. Chandler as Superintendent OF
the State Police. The Governor an
nonnced to-day that the Major had with
drawn his resignation.
my main reason for staying with the
state police" said Major Chandler. SIS
the support which the Governor and leg-
islative leaders have given to my plan
for a State police school. have long
/ felt the need of more careful and intelli-
gent training for police officers and now
my dream has come true
The Major said that the school would
be established at the Troy barracks and
would consist Of two intensive courses
of two months each year. Preparations
have been begun for the school and the
first course will be held within two or
three months. Besides Major Chandler
the instructors will include member OF
the faculty of the Albany Law School.
Deputy Attorney General and Police In
spector Cornelius f. Cahalane of New
York The school will be conducted on
the same plan as that for army officers
at Fort Ieavenworth.
The courses will include the history
and psychology of police work, criminal
law, the penal code. detection Of crime.
the art of being q witness and the best
methods OF securing and presenting evil
dence. Members of the State police force
will have to take the course before they
can be promoted, and the school will be
open TO any member of city police
force in the State or to any person
desiring to take up police work.
"It is the intention" said Major
Chandler, ito have city policemen or
detectives taking the course retirn
and conduct similar courses in their
home, cities. believe that in this way
greater cooperation can be brought
about between the State and city police
officials Ftss
Two other reasons influenced Major
Chandler to remain in the state SER
vice. !, One Is the fact that the Legisla-
ture is to add two more troops. increas-
ing the force from 232 TO 345 men,
They are provided for In the recently
introduced Fearon bill, which abolished
the game wardens under the State Con-
servatioh Commission. The new troop
ers are to take the place Of these war;
densL The second reason is the Increased
Importance given TO the work OF tho
State troopers by the Albany-Troy troll
ley strike.
The salary for Superintendent of the
State Police is only $4,000, but Gov.
Miller said that the salary question did
not enter into Major Chambers decision
to withdraw his resignation. 1t is ex-
pected that the Governor, however. will
agree to an increase.
