NEW YORK, November l6.-Sale of
a seat on the New York Stock Ex
change for $3.50, 900. another new high
record for all time, has been arranged
and now awaits confirmation by the
governing committee, it was learned
today.
The new top" for an exchange seat
is SIS 900 above the highest price pre-
viously paid. That price was set three
weeks ago, just before the governing
committee advanced a proposal to in.
crease the number of exchange mem
berships from LOO to 1.125 and sell the
additional 25 seats on n graduated
scale, starting at s135, 900 and ranging
up to S145 900. The governors pro-
posal was defeated last Thursday by
vote of more than l2 to /.
Since the proposal was defeated there
has been active inquiry for seats, and
the supply has been practically non
existent. The S150.00O bid Is said to
have gone several days without
taker.
With two million share days the
usual thing. three-miilion share days
not uncommon and with the number
of seats restricted to the old LOO,
some brokers declare a seat would be
cheap" at 5000. 900.

BIG THRONG WITNESSED LOCALS TAKE INITIAL GAME FROM
 ANCHORAGE FIVE
SECOND GAME WILL BE TONIGHT
Visitors Miss Many Field Baskets Are Group of Flashy, speedy
 Young Players.

The Seward aggregation of basket ball players smothered the visiting Anchorage high school yesterday af- ternoon in the first game of a three game series played at the s. A. c. gym, by the long score of 32 to 12. It was a case of strangers in a strange land, and the acurate shooting and team work by the locals, which brot about the downfall of the swift light weights from the Inlet metropolis. Some thought the Seward five were too heavy in comparison with their opponents but the general opinion was not so. The pigskin was prac- tically lowering about the locals net as much as the opposite one; but the Seward quintet made their baskets from every angle whereas the visi- tors appeared to be very much off their feed" missing the net innu- merable times. It was fine game to watch and large crowd, which filled the hall, enjoyed every minute of it from the first silvery blast of the timekeepers whistle to the last mo- ment of play.
 The old fighting spirit was on the surface at all times; Seward endeav- ored to roll up an ever increasing score while Anchorage courageously with precipitation glittering in great "gobs" fought cleverly ecery move of the pigskin. The fans applauded and encouraged with as much gusto the points made by the visitors as they did with outbursts of enthusiasm for their own team
 Capt. McEwan was the point getter

THE DECLINE OF ISLAM.

Mohammedanism is being pushed to religion, particularly in Turkey, but in other Moslem lands as we'll.
 Mustapha Renal, the present ruler of Turkey, has dealt Mohammedanism a terrible blow by abolishing the Ca liphate, that highest church dignity formerly held by the sultans, and by repudiating the Koran as the legal code of the country. This together with the spread of foreign literature antagonistic to the faith, has played havoc with Mohammedan prestige in Turkey, Egypt, Arabia, India and Af- rica.
 If, as MT. Chirgwin believes, Mo- hammedanism is on the point of col lapse, tn enext few years may see the disintegration of one of the most pow erful religions and political forces which have influenced the world
 Founded by Mohammed, an Hitter ate, epileptic sheep-herder and camel driver, the era of Islam dates from 622 A. D., when with about 15O followers he fled from Mecca to escape perse- cution and settled in Medina, where his real power arose.
 His epileptic tendencies brought on visions whereby he professed to have received revelations from God at va rlOus times, these communications be- ing later incorporated in the Koran.
 After the death of his first wife he took ten other wives, many concubines and female slaves into his household.
 He exercised both temporal and spiritual authority, waged war with the cruelty common to that period, and partok more of the character of a conqueror and statesman than of that of prophet. His own sincerity of belief in his divine mission, espe- cially during his later life, has been seriously questioned.
 Yet the movement he founded had within 100 years after his death be- come serious menace to Christian ity until checked by the victory of Charles Martel near Tours in 732, while today the adherants of Moham- mechanism number about 234,OOO OOO.
 Like Christianity, Mohammedanism is divided into many denominations or sects, of which the Sunnites and the Schiites are the most numerous.

for the locals, throwing five field goals; Johnson, Roberts, and Thinker for Seward, each made three field baskets; Johnson also making one point from the foul line; Chya, Sew ard right guard came thru with one field throw and one from the foul line.
 For the visitors Vallear lead his team mates in baskets annexing three and one point from the foul line; Elk right guard for Anchorage, made a field basket and foul line point; Brayford, who took Romig's place in the last half, delivered one field bas- ket to help the cause along.
 Following the first three minutes of play Thinker started the fireworks when he threw the first field basket. From that point on baskets were made at frequent intervals of not more than three minutes apart at any time, by both sides, the first half ending by the score of 21 to 5 in favor. of the To- cal aggregation. During this half Vallear threw two baskets in success sion; McEwan did likewise, twice at intervals, but Nip" Johnson topped them with his foul line throw and two consecutive baskets all in row. For Anchorage Vallear made the only field shots putting two neatly thru the web. Elk made a foul line throw in this half For Seward during the first half, field baskets were thrown by the following: Thinker, 1; Chya, 1; Roberts, 2; McEwan, A. Johnson 2, and one foul line point.
 In the Second half Seward ran the score up eleven points more while An chorage added seven to their string.
