special Dlspatch TO Inc StaT.
NEW YORK, January 23.-The sit
uation on the Stock Exchange during
the past week has reached something
like a deadlock.
On the one hand there Is no fresh
buying initiative. and therefore out
side of certain selected stocks NOV
ing for special reasons, there is no up
ward tendency.
On the other hand there Is no pres
sure on the selling side. Holders OF
stocks are satisfied, after the re-
actions which have occurred, that
present values are not exaggerated.
Consequently they are not anxious to
sell There is a good deal of profit
taking going on. but 1t only occurs
when the market has periods of
strength. So far it has not forced
prices down materially by compari.
son with the previous rise.
Publicity Decision Is Factor.
The most important incident of the
week was the decision by the head of
the Federal Reserve that there should
be more publicity about brokerage
loans. The details of the new regime
have not been entirely worked out.
Presumably the information required
will appear In the monthly bulletin
Of the authorities at Washington.
But this development came at a time
when the market, for other causes,
was hesitating. and on this account
it had more influence than it would
have had when the speculative cam
pai"n was in fun swing.
The Wall Street position IS perhaps
more interesting than 1t has been at
any time in months, this because of
a genuine division of opinion. Some
good judges believe that favorable de-
in the shape of optimistic
business reports, capital split-ups,
dividend increases and offers of new
shares carrying valuable rights have
been discounted by the rise of prices
which started in the beginning Of the
Autumn and continued through the
first few days of January.
.iany Expect Higher Prices.
The other side continued to hold to
the belief that 1926 will be a pros
porous year in business, and that this
will be reflected In a moderately high
range on the Stock Exchange. The
old fashioned thought about 'hqui-
dation of wages" has passed out.
The business situation Is found to
accommodate itself to high stand
ard of living for labor. 1t has to meet
the problem of increased production
and depend upon this rather than
upon an advance in prices. This

Wednesday, Feb. II, a vote was
taken regarding the adoption of
new constitution of the Students
Association. A large majority voted
in favor of it, so the old constitution
was discarded. The new constitution
includes many school activities which
were formerly carried on outside the
association, such as the election OF
cheer leader and assistant cheer
leader, the publicity and traffic
boards, etc.
The first meeting of the Latin
club was held last Thursday, with
the praetors, Isabel Emery and Ben
Whitcomb, in charge. Several songs
were sung in Latin, including,
! "America' and 80, Come All Ye
Faithful" and a few new songs were
practiced. Margaret Whitcomb
played the piano. Several students
gave short talks on the customs and
habits of the early Romans. 1t was
an interesting and instructive meet
ing, and all the members are looking
forward to the next meeting.
Friday morning, an interesting
half hour was spent in the audi
forum. First several songs were
sung under the direction of Isabel
Emery, with Karin Eliason at the
piano. Then the program was given
over to Shirley Povich, the cheer
leader, and cheers were given. AS
the teams were planning hard
game with Bar Harbor that evening,
everybody was anxious to give them
a good sendoff.

Tuesday, Feb. IS, Mr. Stone spoke

doing good work in their studies, as
they are most often judged in this
way He especially urged the boys
against smoking, or, at least, not
to let the smoking habit rule them

BASKETBALL.

Ellsworth Loses to the Chryslers of
Bangor and Bar Harbor Black Cats.
The first game with the Chryslers
proved disastrous for the Ellsworth
Town Team, the Chryslers winning
81 to II. This was the first defeat
for the local boys on their own floor
this winter. The Chryslers played
fast game, with a fine exhibition of
passing. The Ellsworth boys made
a noble attempt to stem the onrush
of the Chryslers' offensive, but We're
unable to make go of it. The Ban
gor team got a big start in the first
period. leading 6 to 0. The home
team built up its tally in the second
period making the score II to s but
still favoring the Chryslers. In the
third period the score increased
proportionally. In the final period
the Chryslers made another fateful
dash, leaving Ellsworth no chance
of a win.
A large crowd watched this game,
both Ellsworth and Bangor fans
boosting their teams. The Bangor
fans included James Utterback, Mr..
Robinson, Mr.. CyT and Mr.. Cushman,
all prominent hackers of the Chrys-
lers.
The next game of the series with
the Chryslers will be played Friday
night of this week at Hancock hall.
The Ellsworth boys hope to hold the
Chryslers down to the small end of
the score in this game.

Austin, one of Ellsworths strongest

so could not play at Bar Harbor.
Luchini got badly sprained knee

for James A. Stillman, today
stated that before his departure

Of the National City Bank, had
made substantial and permanent
financial provision for Jay Leeds.
The boy is the 7-year-old son of

AN ADJUST sAL NJ
ROBBERY FR0MU. s,
PROBED He URGES

An investigation is being made
by the local detective bureau,
through Detectives Kelley and
Scrivener, of statements made
during semi-lucid interval yes
terday by the amnesia victim at
Emergency Hospital, known as
Frederick Mcdonnell, that he had
been drugged and robbed in a
local hotel on January 20.
Mystery Woman Calls
In series OF disconnected, and.
at times, meaningless statements,
made to a woman who said she
represented the Department Of JUS
tice, but who, according to officials
OF that department, was not sent
by them. Mcdonnell spoke of hav-
ing been drugged or beaten, and
his clothes and money taken from
aim.
He said tl1eas150 found on him

He also spoke of recently having
been left $4,000, or OF having re-
ceived that sum from the sale of
a store in Massachusetts,. He did
not, however, say that such 4 sum
was taken from him in the rob.

These statements lead authorities
to believe that the man may be
Fred Mcdonnell, a storekeeper Of
Spencer, Mass, who left that city
about two months ago to come t.
Washington and look UP the War
Department records of his son,
Harold, who was killed in France.
Nothing has been heard OF the
Spencer man since. Local authori-
ties are trying to have friends OF
the missing Massachusetts man
come to Washington to try to
identify the man ill here.
Detectives Kelley and Scrivener
talked to the man at length this
morning, but obtained no coherent
statements from him. He men
toned Staten Island, N. Y. as his
home. They are, however, investi-
eating the case through the Harris
Hotel, where the man was last
registered, and the Arlington Hotel,
where he had stayed for several
days before.
