Walter Gerald Drogue, IT years old. son of MT. and Mrs. Arthur J. Drogue, entered Yale University to- day. He had fulfilled all the require ments set down by the Yale club of this city and was awarded the an- nual scholarship, it was learned to- day.
 One of his strongest qualifications was his excellence in scholarship while at the New Britain Senior high school. At his graduation from the school last June he was awarded or usually comes to about 10 pupils out of class of approximately 200 and is given to all pupils who main tain mark of S5 per cent or over in every study during the three years at school. Since he took col lege preparatory course the hardes: course the school offers, his feat in keeping about S5 per cent was a notable one. He also had special honors in English.
 
 were taken into consideration by the Yale club when it made its award Courtesy, good character, and ac- complishments are given much con- sideration. but the thing that mat ters most is whether or not the boy would have been able to receive a college education if he were not aid ed by the scholarship. A boy whose parents can afford to educate him in a university is not given considera. tion.
 Previous to entering the Senior High school he attended the Camp Monroe, Lincoln and Central Junior High schools.

Also Rejects & Candidacy Of
 Smith becane He Isa Catholic
REVOLT RECOGNIZED AS
 ONE OF VITAL FORGE
Leaders No Longer Believe It to Be One Of the Whin,s of Few Agi- tat0rs-Tammany and Prohibition Hide Real Issue Of Religion in Dixie Despite Repeated Denials By Many Authorities.

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 24 tF- Rocked by dissension of surpassing bitterness. the dry democratic south is passing through a season of po- litical trial and torment not easily understood by other sections, and in- volving possibilities extremely diff cult to assess.
 Is Vital Force
 Although wholly unable to vis- ualize 8 complete obliteration of the overwhelming democratic matorities of other years, party leaders no longer regard the southern bolt as the whim of few agitators. They recognize it as vital force, having its fountain-head in issues of the most explosive character. Protestant ministers and women make up an important element in its militant leadership. imparting much of the fervor of a crusade. and it's ranks include also politicians of conse- quence, who contribute the practical knowledge of their years of political schooling.
 Religion Is Issue
 The issues of the prohibition and Tammany furnish the visible motive power behind this southern thrust at Smith. Whether its real handspring is religion, is much argued sub ject. The democratic regulars do not hesitate to say it is, despite re- peated denials. It is certain that the nominees Catholicism is widely talk ed about among the voters. that anti-Catholic literature is circulated. and that some campaign speakers openly attack Smith because he is & Catholic. Against this attack the Smith leaders raise the rallying cries 1 of tolerance, white supremacy. and a party loyalty in all kinds of wealth CT.
 In Texas, largest of the southern states and rated the banner demo- cratic state of the union. these con- alterations and uncertainties are tn- tensif1ed by the states vast geo. graphical and political dimensions. It is difficult for the best informed to make predictions. The leaders for and against Smith have given the Associated Press their respective es- inmates, and the sum total of them all is a candid agreement that for l first time in a generation, Texas is a political battle-ground.
 To understand the immensity of the possibilities here involved, it is necessary to consider that Texas has o54 counties of an average area about equal to that of the state of Rhode Island; that all forms of or ganizations are accordingly handi- capped: that the voters include alike the flower of the old southern aris- 1 tacracy, and considerable group of Mexican emigrants; that material in- terests are represented by such di- verse symbols as the cotton field, the ranch, the oil we'll. and the factory: Continued on Page Eeight)

buying CONFIDENT
ON STOCK MARKET
Utilities Strong - Motors
Rise--SteeIs Firm-Rails
Still Irregular.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Sra'i1l Dispatch tn The Star.
NEW YORK, January 19.-Conf1-
dence in the stock market appeared to
be restored today There was no great
increase in activity, but the trend OF
prices was distinctly upward. and that
without any important change in the
outside situation.
The feature of the early dealings
was the buying Of the public utilities.
The loW-priCed issues were all strong
and one or two of the seasoned dividend
payers in vigorous demand. Montana
Power was the leader, with gain OF
nearly 4 points as 1t crossed ITO to
much the highest price in over Z dec
ace. Federal Light G. Traction gained
more than points. Electric Power 6,
Light, above "a. was at the highest In
over a year Commonwealth Power,
Standard Gas e. Electric and American
Power & Light were all higher In
fact, almost without exception. this part
Of the list was in pronounced favor.
Probe Development Views.
The only explanation of the strength
in the utilities was that Wall Street
was interpreting favorably develop
ments with regard to the proposed in
vcstigation at Washington. Probably
lIlpIS Iidu UCtIl SCnlIlb Oll en-
pectation OF adverse political action.
If so these short contracts were hastily
retired today.
Repurchasers by previous sellers for
the decline figured in the motor shares
also. Here the situation was very plain,
Bear spectators who had hoped to
bring out liquidation on the theory that
the price-cutting era would have dis
astrous effect on profits were In re-
treat. Chrysler, Hupp and Hudson led
the independents. General Motors was
Il shade higher, but relatively inactive.
The stcels were firm. The feature In
this part Of the list was the upturn IN
Inland Steel following more definite re-
ports that the deal with Youngstown
Sheet and Tube had been concluded.
Most of the industrials did better and
there was even some bidding up OF
specialtics. one of them being Schultz
Retail Stores. The rails we're still ir-
regular. although selling was in smaller
volume than on Wednesday.
Money Comes Down.
Money renewed at 4 per cent and
around noontime the rate for new loans
came down to ga per cent. Interest
centered on the report to be given out
after the close as 10 brokers loans.
In view OF the decline in the averages.
the total ought TO show substantial
reduction, but the Street has been de-
ceiyed too often to found any specu-
lative plans on such a contingency.
Even mora important will be the
weekly report of the Federal Reserve
banks, which will show whether or not
there have been flrthef large sales OF
Government securities. This item VIII
be taken as significant OF the Federal
Reserve policy toward the money mar
ket.
