Tho upward swing in the price of the
Reading company's preferred issues was
based on expectations that the United
States Supreme Courts forthcoming de-
cision respecting the distribution OF the
philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company's stock would { uphold the
claims of the preferred stockholders Tor
equal participation with holders OF Read
ing common stock. As approved by the
Federal District Court the plan gave
that right to the preferred stockholders
and led to an appeal by the common
stockholders. which was carried to the
court of last resort. A second major
point in the decision, soon to be an
nounced, Is tho determination OF
whether or not the distribution OF the
coal company's stock to owners OK the
Reading company's stock constitutes q
segregation with the meaning OF tne
original decision. The conclusion OF that
point will have an important bearing on
the execution Of the Lehieh Valley Rail-
roads pending plan for distributing the
stocks of its coal companies to its stock

The Coupon Market.

An indication Of an improving market
for foreign currency coupons here was
contained in yesterdays announcement
OF the local Reserve bank that the col
lection Of British Government coupons
would be discontinued. In 1913 the
bank established Arrangements for the
collection of coupons from British Gov.
ernment securities. Tho collection OF
those coupons was undertaken under
special arrangements with tho bank OF
England and the British Treasury dur
ing the war as an emergency measure on
account OF high insurance rates on ship
ments Of securities across the Atlantic
then prevailing. Adequate facilities for
cashing of sterling coupons are avail
able through ordinary banking channeia
and there Is no longer necessity for con-
tinuance of the banks special service
which will be discontinued on June 30.
There is a market for the sale OF those
coupons for cash in this city ana tnoy
NAV be disposed of readily in that way
or collected through banks and bauksru
which deal In foreign exchange.

railroads, without any tracks in
Kentucky and which are organ
lied in other states, liable to the
state of Kentucky for taxes on
the value of freight cars within
the state on June 30?

involved, extending back nine
years. In the present suit only

we'd. The suit involves the 4S

MODEL HIGH SCHOOL
TO Be DISCONTINUED
Board of Regents Issues State
ment Setting Forth In Detail
Reasons For Act

The Model High School OF the
Eastern Kentucky State Normal
School is to be discontinued the
coming year. At meeting of
the Executive Committee of the
Board of Regents of the Eastern
Kentucky State Normal School
and Teachers College, August
10, 1922, the following resolution
was adopted:
at is the judgment of the
Board OF Regents of said school,
Of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction and of the President
Of the School, that the time has
come when the SAID Institution
should cease to operate in the
purely high school field OF edu-
cation; and, therefore, the Exc
cutive Committee of the Board
of Regents, acting under the au
thority and by the advice and
direction Of the Board, hereby
declares that the said Model
High School, from this time, be
and the same is abolished"
This resolution was adopted
for the following reasons, as set
fourth in a statement from the
committee:
/. The Model High School
was established in 1906 at a time
when there were no public coun-
ty high schools in the State and
it was established for the bene-
ht of such students of the Nor
NAL District as might need high
school training, which they
could not secure at home. This
necessity has been
brought to an end by the estab-
lishment of numerous county
high schools over the district
Very few students enter the
Model High School from other
counties than Madison.

been maintained and retained as
