CURB LISTS SHOW
 WEAKNESS TODAY
Call Money Rise May Have h.
 HuenCed Market Somewhat

New York, Oct. 15 tP2-The curb market developed emphatic weak ness, particularly iE the utility di- vision, today There was little in the days news to influence the market, although a rise in the call loan rate to per cent was somewhat disap D. pointing, bearing out bankers pre- dictions that the recent ease was due largely to temporary factors.
 The extreme pressure against the utilities was regarded as belated response by this market to the Massachusetts public service de- partment's denial Of the application split up it's stock The ruling in- ferred that the stock was already inflated, and in view of the high ratio in which most electric power stocks are selling as compared to earnings, fears were aroused that it may have far reaching effects. Electric Investor tumbled about "A points by early afternoon. and Electric Bond and Share half as much. American Light and Trac- ton lost more than 10, and AmerI- can Superpower, Central States Electric. American and Foreign Power Warrants, Northern States A. Standard Power and Light and others, lost from to 4 points or more. Allied Power was strong during the early trading, but soon 1 turned downward. American Cities A and E shares were point of strength, influenced by a favorable earnings report.
 ! A newcomer to the utility group on this market was Midland United | Co. The company controls proper ties in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. l The stock traded around 3l, about | 10 points above the price at which t was offered to the public about a month ago.
 Oils offered notable resistance to the downward movement. Cities Service sold up more than points to a new high above 6S. allowing for the dividend, which came off today.
 Cosdcn was again high hier, selling up several points into new high ground. Some profit taking was apparent in spots, but declines were held to narrow limits.
 Several of the industrials were under pressure. A. c. Smith and Tubize lost several points, and Crocker Wheeler (ncw) sagged moderately. Firestone was again
 well bought, reflecting further in
 creaseS in tire prices. Investment Trust snd Trading company issues
 were inclined to sag, but losses were largely moderate

SLUMP HALTED BY RAILROAD ISSUES
Market Hits Pressure But De-
 cline Is Only Temporary

New Tor, Oct. 15 tP)-Renewal of selling pressure against the public utilities and some of the industrial leaders temporarily unsettled to- days stock market, but the deClin" was checked by the resumption of large scale buying operations ia the railroad shares.
 Early selling was based primarily on speculative belief that the mark ct, which had recovered more thaa half the ground lost in the decline early this month, was due for q sec ondary reaction.
 Call money renewed at 6 per cent, but advanced to in renrc- ton Of heavy mid month demands, and the withdrawals Of government funds on deposit in federal reserve member banks. Time money also displayed a slightly hrmer under tone.
 The drive against the public util-
 ties was influenced largely by the recent decision of the Massachu- sets public utility commission deny
 ing the Edison Electric llluminat- ing Co. of Boston permission to splt-up it's capital stock. Amcri- can Telephone. Peoples Gas. Amer ican Water Works. North American Pacific Lighting, Consolidated Gas and Standard Gas X Electric wor~ all hammered down 10 nearly 6 points.
 Motor shares turned heavy on re ports of decreasing output and sales of several of the leading manufac- turers, but some of these are at tributed to the introduction of new models. Auburn Auto broke l3 points and several others declined a point or two.
 Western Union recovered all of it's early loss Of points in the early afternoon lally, and Johns Manvilie quickly made up points of it's s point morning decline. L. $. Stcei common dropped from an early high of 229l2 to 223 z and then rebound d as Wall street began to hear rumors of a special distribution to shareholders before the end of the year.
 New Haven common assumed the leadership of the railroad group by moving up 3 points to a new high record at 132 F. The preferred ad- vanced 3A points 10 a new high at 134&. New York Central, Atchison, | Baltimore x Ohio, Norfolk X West crn and Northern Pacific sold 2 10
 3l2 points higher.
 Timken Roller Bearing ran up
 F points to a new high at 1&5 on buying influenced by the recent expansion of the Company's business
 into new fields. particularly railroad

HUNGARIAN PRINCE TO ENTER LOUVAIN
Otto, Son Of eX-Enpress Zita,
 to Enroll at University

Budapest, 15 P)-Royalists of Hungary see in the change of resi- dence of eX-Empress Zita and her children from Spain to Belgium, only a fulfllment of the wish eX- pressed by the late Emperor Karl that his children might be given a public education and his sons sent to all open university.
 It would have been impossible for the widowed mother to have carried out this desire, which was expressed by the last of the HanSburgS both by word of mouth before his death and in his last will and testament, had she remained in Spain. Also she had been warned by her royal hus- band against shutting herself and her brood off from the world, as he regarded daily communion with others as the best training for life.
 So the family has gone to Belgium, Prince Otto, the oldest son, has been entered upon the books of the University of Louvain. He will at tain his 17th birthday on November 20 and start his college career in December. His sisters will be sent 10 the School of the Sacred Heart in Brussels.
 In deciding 10 take up her resi- dence in Belgium, the ex-Empress took into consideration the presence there of several of her near rela- tives. Queen Elizabeth of Belgium was born a Bavarian duchess. She is not only closely related to Zita, buc is q dear friend. Prince Felix, the consort of the ruler of the neigh boring duchy of LuXemburg, is Zita s brother.
 Since the death of her aunt, the late Quecn-MOther Maria Christina of Spain, who was almost like a mother to Zita, the eX- X-Empress has felt rather isolated in Lequeitio, for the Spanish royal family has had it's own troubles to attend to.

LITTLE OPPOSITION
TO DEBT 0. K. SEEN
French Chamber Appears
Ready for Quick Ratifica-
ton of Agreements.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, June 81 OP).-Except for the
Communist and Socialist press, little
opposition has appeared to Premier
Poincare's announcements in favor of
early ratification Of the Mellon Berenger
debt agreements providing for eventual
payment of the French war debts to
the United States.
The premier began his speech We'd
nesday before the interested commit
tees of the Chamber of Deputies, con-
tinued it yesterday, and probably will
not complete 1t until next week.
Matin, independent moderate daily,
suggested today he might have to make
1t all over again when the Chamber
meets in full session.
The Chamber is anxious to ratify the
agreement Immediately rather than risk
having to pay separately the $400, 000, 900
due on the surplus war stocks purchased
from America, due, unless the agree
ment is ratified, in one lump sum in
August.
The premier yesterday took pains to
point out that, while America had re-
fused a safeguard transfer clause to
France, Washington has given aSsur-
ances payments would not be pressed
il at any time Germany was unable to
meet her reparations bill.
Deputy Paul EScudier tainted because
of the extreme heat as the premier
reached the seventh hour of his address
last night. The premier seemed I'M
rlIffled by his forensic efforts.

THE ALASKA HALIBUT FISHERMEN.

Dr. BunneIs tribute to the Attu, her master and and through them to the men in the halbut fleet of the Northwest, but a recogni- tion of truth that is stranger than fiction. Kipling has mmortalized the fishermen of the Grand Banks, but nowhere in the world, nor at any time in history has harder or braver men sailed the than those who catch halbut in the waters of the North Pacific They not strutting or swashbuckling heroes They never seek fame. To them fighting the terrors of the sea- saving human life and craft from watery graves, in the days work That they are competent sailors masters of wind and wave, Captains Courageous" all of them, is proved many times in each season. And their human- tarianism, their recognition that all broth under the sum-" and their quiet and natter of-course way of accepting without question that the duty to aid those in distress is of more consequence than making large catches, quick trips, and thereby good profits, is proved time and again in every fishing
 Nowhere lives a finer of than these Alaska fishermen. They in constant contact with Nature in her elemental phases whichy at work hard and with intelligence and. at the worst is terrible enemy of those who try to conquer her It is only accident that Dr., Bunnell and others who could tell of it were where they could witness the heroic performances of Capt Wold and the of the Attn. Where there is one spectacular rescue like that of the Roosevelt there scores scores that only survive memories of those who taise part in them
 Sometime there should be monumen t S in than one Alaskan town to serve as perpetual memorials to the men who catch fish in the North Pacific Ocean
