theory that a woman killed his
brother and expressed the belief
that it must have been two or more
men, contending that the brother

could have beaten of the attack OF
a weak assailant.

lily which employed him as Harry
DoneIson. was killed by a pistol
shot. His body was found in a ga
rage on the estate Several bloody
finger marks on the garage door
were valueless as clews, the police

home, for burial.

NEW SCHOOL OF
UNIVERSITY Is
FAR FROM CITY

CIeveland.-The ideal place for
a school is out in the country, as
far from city life as possible, Rev.
DR.. John B. Creedon, president OF
Georgetown university, Washing
ton, d. c., told Georgetown alumni
at a banquet here.
Our boys today" DR.. Creedon
said, "are blase at the age OF Is.
They start running around with
girls. They go to the movies, wan
der I'D and down the streets, can
not entertain themselves and
somebody else must furnish the en-
tertainment.
Georgetown has built its new
preparatory school out in the coun-
try several miles from the univers-
ity. The young folks are allowed
occasional trips to the city, but for
the most part lead rural lives.
That makes a boy provide his
own forms of entertainment, and
usually they are more wholesome
than those dished out for him N
the city. That makes his mind
work
The dean of Georgetown medical
college has contributed his serv-
ices to the university since 1855
| because of the education it gave
! him as a young man, DR.. CreedoI
said.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright, 1921

Wall Street, New York, Jan. IA
Continued strength was shown on
the curb exchange today and bust
ness was on a larger scale than in
any recent two hour session. Gold
Wyn Pictures stock was in excellent
demand and rose sharply on the
Washington report that postmas-
ter general Hays has decided to
accept the offer to head the mo-
ton picture industry of the coun-
try. Inter-Continental Rubber was
also a strong feature and moved
upward, the purchases accompan-
id by statements of an early re-
sumption of operations by the COM
pany in Mexico.
In contrast with the action of the
motor stocks on the big board, there
was little doing in these issues on
the curb. Durant Motors of Indi-
ana was only fractionally higher
on small sales, and there was less
interest in Lincoln, the recent &C
tive feature. National Leather, on
moderate buying orders advanced
and small gains were recorded In
r. J. Reynolds, United Retail Can
dy, Sweets Company of America
and the Radio Stocks.
There was some irregularity in
the oil department. Cities Service
old common started with an ad-
vance but yielded later when small
offerings made their appearance
Standard Oil of Indiana was in
good demand and moved up a frac-
ton. Imperial Oil Of Delaware
Maracaibo, International Petrol
, cum and several others, were only
barely steady.
Mining stocks were less active
Magma was in fair demand and
rose a fraction.

he is to do, but after he learns the
ropes of the business he will find
plenty to do. He is a big man, re-
quiring a big place, and he certain
ly will find that place in the indus
try. There are many disputes in
the industry now. They can only
be settled by a man respected by
all concerned Hays is such a
man"
'Who will pay the salary and
how much?"
'"Ths producers association and
it will be 100000 year as far as
know"
IF only producers pay the sal
airy, how will Hays have super
vision over distributors and ex-
hibitors?"
"That is something still to BE
worked out" Laemmle answered
''All branches of the industry must
get together if squabbles are to be
eliminated and the whole-hearteG
respect of the public is to be
gained"
Like Job Of Lands.
Then Hays position in the NOV.
les will correspond to that of Judge
Lands in baseball "a dictator o
principles, a man whose reputation
shall rebound to the credit of the
industry?'
THAT'S just it, answered
Laemmle.
To this writer that seems onl!
part of it. Hays duties as outlined
at present are vague, indefinite
However, legislation on film tariff
will soon be ready for passage il
congress and censorship bills will
bob up in various states for year,
to come.
Hays is a politician He under
stands political psychology as ap
piled to politicians and the publi'
alike.
Some in the industry believe tina
| it was a serious mistake to select ;
politician of either party for thu
position. They refuse to be quoted
but they point out that Hays, hav
ing been identified as the one NAL
more responsible for Republican
successes the past few years thai
any other, will be antagonized II
states where Democrats hold tn
whip hand.
They also fear that any NOV

Bond Market

lCopyrighf- 1921

Wall Street, New York, Jan. II.
The same general characters
tics-slight declines in liberties
with the rest strong-which ap-
peared in yesterdays bond dealing
marked the two hour session this
morning. Numerous high prices
were made.
French bond continued firm,
while Belgian 71zs, Republic OF
Chile IS, and Canadian issues rose
about a point. Dominion OF Can
ada IS of 1881 struck fresh top, a
point above their close of last
night. Interborough Rapid Transit
refunding SIS went still higher.
Other fractions were steady. Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph 6s
and Chile Copper 6s, New York
Telephone IS in 1871, New York
Edison 612s, Steel Sinking Fund SIS
and Sinclair Oil 71as all reached
their best prices in over a year
Railway bonds advanced on the
average more than a half point.
Atchison As were among the lead
ers to get to new high levels, and
oregon Washington Railway and
Navigation company refunding As
gained two points to their record Of
50.
Dealers here in Canadian Pro-
vincial bonds had no trouble this
week in selling this class Of Sc
curities. The market, due partly
to higher levels of Canadian ex-
change and stimulated partly by
successful sale of new offerings
was strong. Prices rose substan-
TALLY above the quotations of the
previous week or so. There was an
exceptional big demand for 6 per
cent and short term Ontario issues
sold around a Go basis, which re-
fiected increased inquiry for bonds
of the provinces.

today sold at q II has speculative
possibilities in the fact that like
other public utilities American
Waterworks is getting the advan-
tage Of lower labor and other costs.
Consequently it should do much
better from now on than the aver :
age for the last five years. It is
in this possibility of increase that
the move in the six per cent pre-
ferred is to be found
NATIONAL LEAD.
The sharp rise in National Lead
was due to intimations of a melon
cut in the shape of a distribution of
the war profits of the company's
subsidiary, the National Cartridge.
This concern made lot of money
during the war period which it
saved up and it is this potentional
asset which has always explained
why National Lead was held up at
what, considering its own dividend
of six per cent, has seemed pretty
high prices.
UNITED STATES RUBBER.
The fact that United States Rub
Der directors declared the regular
dividend on the preferred stock
only recently was lost sight of by
the trading rank and file. The pay
ment of this dividend is taken to
mean that the United States Rub
Der company has its bad times be-
! hind it and from now on will do
much better. In fact it is even said
that the next report of the COM
! pany, which is due to be made pub
! lie in the near future, will be IA
