CURB SHARES RISE
ON BUYING WAVE
Utilities, Oils and Mines Go
Into New Highs in Strong
Session.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.
atch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 25.-Public
utilities, oils, mining issues and nu-
merouS other classes of shares repre-
senting prosperous industries today gave
one of the most impressive displays OF
strength that has been witnessed on
the Curb Exchange in many weeks.
n the outside public, which has been
given credit for the greater part OF
the unprecedented demand for stocks
the past few months. was becoming dis
turbed over the current high level, the
action of the market today failed to re-
feet any change in sentiment.
New high records abounded. In
some instances they represented gains
of from / to more than 10 points.
ger prospects and extension of opera
tions were influences working for the
rise, the principal basis for the ability
of the leaders to move forward was
their technical market position.
Phelps Dodge Up.
In the case of Phelps Dodge the up
ward movement did not halt until the
price had advanced almost 25 points
to new high record. 1t was direct
response to announcement of the forma
ton of a joint copper-selling agency
which will commence its operations Oc-
tober and in which the company will
be major factor.
Sparks wilmington at 145 was at q
new high and points higher. Hart
Parr, above 54, gained more than ii
points to its best, and there were a
number of similar upturns In other
issues.
Utilities and oils were the outstand-
ing leaders. Standard of Kentucky al
140 gained almost 8 points to new
high Standard of Ohio reached Its
best for present share capitalization
and a new top was marked up in I'm
perial Oil of Canada. That efforts OF
leading standard interests toward cur.
tailment of production were meeting
with more success than at any time
during the past two years was indi-
Gated by the latest report concerning
the statistical position of the industry
Utilities Forward.
The utilities were thought to be en-
titled to a higher market level in view
of the strength of shares representing
industries where earnings are sched-
uled to more violent fluctuations. Elec-
trio Bond 81 Share Securities, one OF
the most prominent holding organiza-
tions, shot forward some points to a
new high. American Gas & Electric
above 1876, was up over 6 points to its
highest.
Another wave of buying swept
through the Curb dring the early trad
ing.
The oil shares were outstanding IA
vorites. Under leadership of the promi-
nent Standard issues the market was
responding to reports that an agree
ment to curtail production had been
reached by leaders of the Standard
companies Standard of Kentucky
rose almost 6 points to 1877. a new
high. Standard Of Ohio went to its
best at 86, while the Indiana shares
were up almost points.
The advance of almost 10 points tc
a new top in Phelps Dodge was a di-
rect response to the announcement that
this company and Nichols and Calumet
& Arizona. along with the Old Do
minion Co., had formed a point cop
per selling agency and that its opera
ltions will commence october /.

ELEcTRHYrNG PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD
Electric Trains 10 Wilmington BY
August


1t is stated, on good authority
that the Pennsylvania Railroad will
start to run electric trains between
Wilmington, Chester and Philadel-
phia in July or August.
The number will be increased
gradually, after practical tests show
the system to be in proper order, and
the full electric service will be in
operation when the fall timetable
becomes effective at the end of Sep
tember.
The electrfication through Ches-
ter and all the way to Wilmington is
today 95 per cent completed in so
far as the total volume of work is
concerned" said j. w. Roberts, gen.
eral superintendent OF transporta-
ton. 1.-The tub-stations and the
power transmission and feed lines
are nearly finished. The principal
work remaining to be done is the
track bonding; that is to say, uniting
the rails at each joint with conduct
ors so that the flow of electric cur
rent will be entirely free of imped-
.ence.
Mr.. Roberts stated that as part OF
the same general project, the rail-
road is also electrifying the Octoraro
branch between Philada., Swarth-
more, Media, Wawa, West Chester
and intermediate stations. Electric
trains on that line will begin opera
tion early next year.

ing the cost of dredging the channel

OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
EXPELLED
Gay Time At Party Causes Drastic
Action

b
The Philadelphia Record Of Sat
urday, May 26, publishes the fol-
lowing concerning the expelling OF
seven Oxford, Pa, High School pu-
pills, as the result of gay party
pulled on at the school:
OXFORD, Pa, May 25.-A bomb
shell was thrown in the rank and
file OF the 500 pupils of the Oxford
High School today, when it was
learned that seven students-three
seniors, two juniors, one freshman
and one sophmore had been quietly
notified that they had been expelled
indefinitely by the faculty, because
of conduct said to have been unbe-
coming at the junior prom held in
the school auditorium Friday eve
ming.
In view of the fact that the three
seniors expected to be graduated
with their class of 3S members next
Thursday evening, announcements
already having been sent out, their
expulsion from all school activities
just on the eve of commencement
sent the whole town gasping and,
as the indignation grew, the parents
of the seven pupils involved demand
ed hearing and the giving of more
specific charges than that of unbe-s
coming conduct.
A meeting was held in the school
gymnasium, at which time were
present the seven accused students.
James Broomell, Stanley Crawford
and Dorothy Gray, of the senior
class; Caroline Anderson and John
Kimble, of the junior; James Steele,
Of the sophmore, and Norris Boyd,
Of the freshman, with their parents.
The faculty was represented by
Professors J. w. McMullen, j.. Ross
Miller. Marshall Thompson and
Charles Lieb, and the board of di-
rectors by Mrs. Douglas e. Brinton,
Mrs. e. Stanley Grier, John K
Thompson, j.. Lawrence Shoemaker
and Elmer G.. Collins. The whole
matter was threshed out and de-
mands made by the tonwspeople that
the students be reinstated.
According to the stories told at
the prom held Friday evening, one
of the girls of the graduating class
had as her guests several young men
from another school. These young
men were said to have brought along
two quarts of very sweet wine, which
were said to have been imbibed and
to have shared with a number of
their friends. As result several
persons became noisy and boist-
erous, causing annoyance to neigh
boring families after the prom end
ed. The young girl in question was
dismissed because she was caught
a cigarette on the school
much to the horror of sew
eral of the residents of the neigh
borhood.
That the expulsion of the seven
students was kept secret so long
after they were officially notified of
the fact was due to efforts of parents
to have them reinstated without the
charges being made public. Failing
in this, they took the matter up with
the townspeople, hence the public
meeting.
