Having heard reports in and out

contemplated giving the public an
opportunity to become security

Hearst If it We're true that he

~ tOsmopOIItan News Service.

NEW YORK, April 24..--Oil shares
made further, recovery on the stock
exchange in the first two hours
trading today The demand for
those recently weak stocks was bet
ter than it had been in several
weeks. a.
United States Steel common Bald
win Locomotive, American Can and
other speculative leaders were
strong. The whole market exhib-
tied strength. -
The buying which advanced
prices was attributable to the over
sold condition of the market. Sta.
tistics on loans of stock for the
purpose of delivery on short con.
tracts, had revealed an unusual sit
uation. 1t was said that, fully fifty
different issues were loaning fiat"
or without interest. Such a condi-
ton means that highly competitive
condition exists among brokers' Re-
Gently, lenders Of stock have shown
a disposition to restrict loans on
the theory that the privilege was
being abused by certain plungerS
operating on the bear side.
Their operations are antagonistic
to the interest of investors who com
stitute the bulk Of commission
houses customers and the brokers
are realizing that fact.
From q technical point OF view
the rally was due because the
market had been declining steadily
for more than two months. The
last important rally in prices came
about the time of the last dividend
meeting of the United States Steel
Corporation. The next dividend
meeting will be held next Tuesday
when another extra payment of SO
cents share may De ordered. The
market today was discounting that
expectation.
The buying of oil stocks in which
a large short interest is outStand.
ing, was influenced doubtless by
favorable trades news. The price
of fuel oil has been raised to the
highest level in recent years owing
to the shortage Of Mexican supply.
Moreover, production of crude oil
dropped $1,000 barrels the week OF
April 10, a development hardly, con-
sistent with the theory of the bears
that the, country is facing the
danger of another oil deluge.

talk yesterday morning to the stud

lures which the athletic association
make annually to support the various
branches Of athletics which the col

result of some complaints which the

the excess fee which is charged to
the men of the college as athletic
dues. 81,
The athletic director gave an Item
ized account Of the expenditures
which the athletic association made
last year in football, hockey. track
baseball and tennis. He told force-
fully lust where the money which rs
assessed to the students went ana
how much was spent for each sport
The addition of hockey last winter as
a recognized sport was an additionai
burden on the association since the
snort fails to pay for itself and con-
seouently money has to be taken out
Of the treasury for 1t.
Professor Edwards stated that
more than twenty colleges were
written TO in an effort to have a
home game played in football on the
Saturday before the Bates game at
Lewiston but that all of those VINO
were approached had a fun scneo,

COBuRN CLASSICAL !.
ACQUIRES EDWARD
Ware RESIDENCE

The fine residence facing monu-
ment park, has just been sold by
Mrs. Edward Ware to the trustees Of
Coburn classical institute. This is
one of the most important real estate
transactions in the city for q consid-
cradle length of time. 1t was made
by those who believe Ia the future Of
Coburn, and is only a part Of the
scheme for the further development
of this great school to which thous-
ands of graduates still look with 10y
atty and gratitude.
BY its past service to state and ma
ton, by its work and the great in
crease in the number of its students,
Coburn is maintaining Its undisput-
ed rank among the best Of the schools
that prepare for college and profess
Aonal life.
To secure the goals and maintain
the standards Coburn has set for
herself will require a Gew dormitory
for women, an adequate gymnasium,
complete equipment, and a large sum
must be added to its endowment that
its privileges may still be open to
students of moderate means but
large ambition. A boy willing to
work hard with his head and hard
with his hands. will find his oppor-
tunity in Coburn.
Movements are on foot to secure
the increase in resources which the
great enlargement Of the work Of the
school makes necessary. Cohurn 10y
atty has always been In evidence and
soon will find new expression in
meeting the enlarged opportunities
of the school
The Ware residence will afford a
noble home for Principal Hathorn
and his successors, as we'll as furnish
other important facilities for the use
Of the institute.
The president Of the board OF
trustees, DIR. Frederick c. Thayer
has just closed the deal. The trus-
tees will hold a meeting at an early
date to decide what changes will he
made to fit the residence for it's new
uses.
