hected n material shifting of the rela-
ton of supply aid demand. The be-
lief in lower interest rates ahead was
chiefly attestcd by a continued advance
IN the price of securities of fixed re-
turn, but even here the significance Of
the movement was largely vitiated by
the concentration Of investment de-
mand upon bonds where earlier en-
hanccment in value had not been pro
portlonate to the appreciation justified
by altered money conditions. Gilt
edged bonds frmed only very gradu-
ally. The immediate outlook from the
viewpoint OF the speculative commu-
nifty is disturbed by the approach Of
March Is, when tax payments and other
opera tions associated with government
hrancing arc scheduled. Despite the
frequently advanced theory that the
machinery for handling these opcr-
ations has been so perfected rs to
eliminate their influence on the money
market, such an influence, whether sen
timentsl or otherwise, is generally a
fact.

International bankers are inclined
to regard the appreciation of the for
eign exchanges over the last few
months as cf more permanent char
acter than that which marked the
opening weeks of 1921. Normally,
March and April arc months when the
movement abroad of American prod
ucts is on a large scale and comprise a
period when a reaction would be in
order. This seasonal decline will be
minimzed in the present instance, it is
believed, by the reduced volume of Eu-
ropes purchases here. Some setback,
however, is expected. The rise has
been Of such duration and the long in
tcrest that has been built up has
reached such proportions that from the
standpoint merely Of technical marke It
considerations severer check than
has yet been experienced is felt to be in
prospect. Last week witnessed the re-
| cording of new peaks on the movement
in sterling and many Of the continent
ais, with subsequent profit taking and
reaction. The irregularity Of market
fluctuations, nevertheless, did not
shake the general conviction that the
trend of the exchanges from now on,
irrespective of day-to-day changes, will
be upward.

In the last week the main restraint on
rising prices consisted of the technical
position of the market The previous
rise had left many traders in a posi-
ton to take profits and invited others
to sell short. in expectation of quick
gains on the downward side. Those
who sold to establish profits in many
instances found it necessary to bid up
prices to get the securities back.
Profit taking was more effective as a
check on price gains in the commodity
and foreign exchange markets. Wheat
quotations declined moderately for the
week and cotton WAS easy. Sterling
cables climbed to new high levels and
then reacted toward tho close of the
week. Average prices for industrial
stocks, despite irrcgularity and con
'lcting movements. revealed net gain

other hand lost fractionally.

Chancellor Brown OF New York Uni

many men in college and that higher
education should be restricted to brain

There are not too many college men
now and the point of saturation in this
respect is still long way off. There
are too many college students If their
mere numbers prevent us from giving a

cannot admit this without confessing a

PADDLED, HANDS BOUND

EAsroN, Pa, Sept. 22,-The Lafayette
College student council and members of
the sophomore class tonight began a
systematic investigation of hazing
affair last night that resulted in sending
Robert Cunningham, II, son of the Rev.
and Mrs. Henry Cunningham OF Norris
town. N. j., to the Easton Hospital
suffering from shock and bruises Of the
chest and stomach.
The college authorities announced to.
night that a thorough investigation will
be made of the hazing and If those
guilty are detected they will he dis
missed from the college Instantly
While at first it was feared Cum
ningham's injuries might result seri-
ously. it was said tonight at the hos
ptal that he would be able to leave
the institution within few days
Frank Schwab, president of the student
council, called a meeting of the council
, as soon as he was notified of the
hazing and four representatives of the
sophomore class called on Dean Heckel
and signified their intention of assist
ing in every way in running down the
guilty parties.
Cunningham told Dean Heckel that
he was in bed In East Hall when sew
eral members of the sophomore class
entered his room and made him dress
With several. other freshmen. he was
taen to Center Square, where he was
compelled to give the class cheer and
was told to sing his high school alma
mater.
After being padded he was taken tc
the Bush1nill Creek. where pillow case
was placed over his head and his hands
tied behind his back. He was laid or
the ground and member of the hazint
party was told to stay with him unit
morning. Cunningham said he re-
manned silent for time, and when ht
heard no one about he began trying e
unloosen his hands.
Finally managing to free himself, ne
arose to his feet. but was unable tc
straighten his body because of blow
he had received in the stomach by one
of his captors. He recently underwent
two operations for peritonitis. he said
and the blow caused him considerable
pain. However, he managed to reacf
North Third street and made his way
nearly to the Y M. G. A. building when
he collapsed and lay on the sidewalks
until about 2 o'clock this morning. when
he was discovered and carried to the
"Y" building.
Cunningham was unable to tell how
many sophomores there We're in the
party or how many other freshmen were
taken from their rooms and what be-
came of them after he was separated
from them at Center Square.

sponslble for ever increasing complaints
from automobile owners. Andrews and
Pranter saw Lester walking west In
Forty-sixth street near Fifth avenue
late in the afternoon. He glanced into
an automobile standing at the curb, just
a passing glance, but enough to make the
detectives believe they were on the trail
of their man. They followed him for
two hours, alternating with Detectives
Walsh and Kenny, while he walkede back
and forth along the side streets off the
avenue.
Finally the detectives took the man
to the East F'ifty-first street station,

fine brushes and jewelry. In his room IN
