CURB REVIEW

New York, March 19. -- Although price movements in Standard Oil is. sues on the curb exchange today gem orally were narrow. observers said there were many indications that mar ket operations by important inter. osts were being conducted without re- gard to the developments in the Washington investigation and in some stocks there seemed to be strong sup port.
 This was the case especially in Vacuum oil, which has been promin- ent for several days past and it was again traded in on large scale nov ing up about one point. Dealings in Standard oil of Indiana also were on fairly largo scale, that stock being well maintained, although there was some pressure in other groups. Prai- rio oil & Gas also displayed strength in the early trading, moving up about two points and Il gain of two points was made in Standard oil of Nebras- ka. Pcpnok was one Of the strong features in the independent list. Iago Petroleum was directly influenced by reports coming from the Lake Mara caibo district of development work similar Co that of the Royal Dutch company which recently opened up heavy producing wells.

McAdOO Links Railroads.
 Up With Prosperity

Milwaukee, March l9.-Until the railroad problem is settled right we have assurance neither of stable prosperity nor economic justice, w. c. MeAdoo said in an address today. He said that ''the administration S theory of relief to the farmers through reduced freight rates is to wait seven years for the railroads to decide whether they are willing to consolidate to produce reduced freight rates. This is farcial. What is demanded is action now to meet an emergency in which agriculture is suffering and in which the people of the entire nation are suffering from wrongs inflicted by unsound and unwisc railroad legislation. "There is no effective government in Washington today. Demoraliscd, graft and inefficiency abound. The republican party has no cohesion in the house of representatives or in the senate and the president is un- able to secure majority in either house. Such condition of affairs is serious matter, not alone for the business of the country but for the morale of the people and the prog ress of the nation"

 Ass"I.ebel''

Baltimore, March 19.-Efforts by counsel for tho University Of Mary land 10 set aside the Mandamus pe- tition of Miss Vivian Simpson. coed at that institution for two years, to compel her reinstatement as a stu dent, failed today in city court. A demurrer was overruled and the case went to trial on its merits.
 Assistant Attorney General Edward H. Burke argued that Miss Simpson was not eligible as a student be- cause she is a nonresident of Mary land. Her home is at Tacoma Park. D. C.
 Complaining with Miss Simpson is Miss Virginia Flanagan. of McKees- port. Pa. Hearing in her case is to follow that of the other coed.
 The action is directed against Dr. Albert F. Woods. president of the University who in an answer accuses the young women of an open atti- tude of rebellion, causing discontent among the students. The girls also arc accused Of refusing to resign from Chi Omega sorority. an organization of students not recognized at the university.

IOLD MAN SHOOTS
 AND KILLS.GUNMAN
Bronx Bandit Meets Death as He
 Tries Robbery

New York, March 19-Louis. Bur- nett, 65 years old, who has a cigar and stationery store at l2s Willis avenue. the Bronx. was presented with a broken revolver late Tuesday night. The friend who gave it to him said that it was old and rusty. and probably no good, but that if Burnett could fix it he might be able to cope with some of the bandits who have robbed him three times in the last year.
 Burnett worked on the revolver for two hours yesterday morning, and finally had it in good condition. He got some cartridges and loaded it. and then put it in a bureau drawer in his bedroom. one of three rooms behind the cigar store. Late last night he was leaning over his counter telling Walter Rowe. of 42S East l3sth street, the Bronx, about the weapon. when the door opened and two men walked in. One of them pointed a revolver at Burnett and told the old man 10 gA into the back room.
 Old Man Backed to Wall.
 There the bandit backed Burnett against the wall. and told him to hand over his yaluables. Burnett reached into the bureau drawer.
 This is all have that's worth any thing" he said.
 He began shooting before he had fairly got the revolver out of the drawer. Al the first shot the bandit -clapped his hand 10 his chest. dropped his own revolver and staggered into tho cigar store, crying to his comrade who was guarding young Rowe, that he had been shot. This man imme- diately put his own weapon in his pocket, turned and ran from the store in the direction of the New Ha- ven railroad yards. about a block from the scene of the hold-up.
 The wounded gunman staggered to the counter and as ho leaned against 1t Burnett fired the last shot in the weapon. The hammer snapped and the revolver was useless again. But the two bullets had been enough. Both had lodged in the bandits heart. and the man was dead when nr. Rothman arrived, summoned from Lincoln hos pital by patrolman Wiler. Of the Alex ander avenue station. The other rob Der escaped, although Rowe gave a good description of him and the police believe hn will be arrested.
 No Aid to Identity.
 Detectives said that the dead man had notebook in his pocket in which were the names of half dozen wom- en, but nothing that would divulge his own identity. His finger prints were sent to headquarters for identification experts there to see if he had a crim- inal record. He was described as an Italian, about thirty-five years old and live feet and four inches in height.

PUBLIC HOLDING
 OPTION MARKET
Wall Street Tickers Enjoy Day Of Little Activity-Sales
 Very Light
By WILL JOHNSON (Lsased Wire ts The Ass. \ eraId)


 NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Bears and bulls of the professional. species-for there are hardly any other speculative or investment lambs in the stock mar ket-folded up the board Wednesday afternoon and agreed that the day in the movement of stocks was another stalemate. .N
 There was no shaking off the dull ness and lack of interest. Some held that the inertia of the market could be found in the absence of public par ticipation, which would prevail until both industrial and political clouds were cleared away completely.
 The volume of trading for the day was only 63S 900 shares, a poor showing when consideration is given the fact that shares of high-prieed value last year are now split four and more ways. The tape of the stock tickers barely moved toward the close.
 -f The outstanding feature of the day was the extreme weakness in the is- sues of Virginia Carolina Chemical com pany. Word was passed. however, that Virginia Carolina is not as bad off as painted in some quarters.
 At their low figures of the afternoon, NhSinla-OAroiiud pTclcEEcu WAS oLl points and the common nearly 3, this accompanying 15-point smash in the TIA per cent. with warrants, bonds.
 During the day; a vigorous movement to- cover by shorts also developed in the cotton market.
 The afternoon rally in cotton indeed was predicated on the idea that the market has been pretty, thoroughly liquidated by the Scent decline, and that large short position exists. Lo- cal bears coveted when they heard the rIun0rN
