Edison Peers Into Minds of Boys
 To Select a Genius to Receive
 Four Year Technical Scholarship
49 Nervous Youths Face Gruelng Test Today - No Choice May Be Made If Lads Fail to
 Measure Up to Standard

West Orange, N. J, Aug. 1.-(UP) bridled electricity and harnessed light, was experimenting today in a new field in search of the intangible thng called human genius.
 For raw material he had 49 nerv- ous young Americans-one from each state and another from the District of Columbia. Today Edison peered into their minds through the medium of a five-h hour examination at his laboratory. He will be looking for knowledge, imagination and ini- tiative-the three things he consid- CTS requisite to success-and the boy who possesses those qualifications to the highest degree will become Edi- sons protege.
 No One May Be Chosen
 It may be that no one will win, for Edison has reserved the right to call off the contest if the candidates fail to attain a certain intellectual standard.
 liNi 10 ClloiSil ct Sliht lu ilIdhS any youth nervous. The winner will receive the Edison scholarship, en- titling him to a four-year course in a technical school. The older boys among the 49 may be apprehensive over the first examination which Edison gave six years ago. Then it was said 99 per cent of the young men who took it failed
 At EdiSon's elbow in the brain clinic today were five famed experts to assist the inventor in gauging mentality-Henry Ford, Col. Charles

FIGHTERS PAY FINE
 FOR SUNDAY BRAWL
Judge Believes Consequences
 Were Part Of Punishment

The head breaking fracas on liar yard street last Sunday night had q sequel in police court today when William Malone. 20, of CPS East street and Harold Colby, 25. of Middletown, pleaded nolo contendere to charges of breach of the peace and injury to private property. Judge Stanley J. Tracaski fined Malone S5 and costs and Colby S1O and costs, remarking that both men were pain fully injured, which was some pun ishment, and Colby was locked up in a cell for two days in default of bonds.
 Prosecuting Attorney J. c. Woods told the court that the young men went 10 Harvard street Sunday eve ming to call on a woman. They wanted her to go riding with them m a taXicab but she refused and Colby, who was the aggressor, ac- cording to MT. Woods, insisted on going into the building. A bottle was thrown through a store window and a free e-for-all fight ensued, with the result that the storekeeper ol someone else cracked Malone and Colby on the head with a bottle Malone went to the hospital and Colby to the police station.
 Woods Blames Colby
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods re- ferred to Colby as "one of those men who wander about the city showing no discrimination as to where he goes,' adling that he was arrested with a colored man ou Franklin street only a short time ago. He is married man, Mr. Woods said, yet he goes about in such a manner as 10 make his position before the court indefensible. He was the cause of getting Malone into the fracas Sunday and he should be heavily punished, Mr. Woods concluded.
 Judge r. B. Hungerford. repre- senting Malone, said the latter did what almost any loyal friend would 60 on seeing a companion in trouble. Colby was getting the worst of the tight, being outnumbered. and Ma uone tried to help him. with the re- suit that he narrowly escaped having his skull fractured.

 No Text for Genius
 Edison, the man from whom science has kept few secrets, ad- mitted the possibility of error in his quest for genius.
 There is no test" he said, mo suitable Yardstick which can posi- lively determine the relative value of the human being as compared to another"
 Yesterday the inventor assembled his raw material and passed out radio phonograph sets and advice to each of the 49 boys. The candidates were ticketed and seated in the ap- proved manner of scientists. Each boy wore a placard giving the name of his state. They assembled quietly and took their seats, Edison spoke:
 You young men represent selec- ton made by the best judgment of many minds. You are here at my in ritation for a final competition to de- termine which among you shall be awarded the Edison scholarship. The purpose of this scholarship contest r. is to stimulate the interest of the youth of America in mental develop ment with particular emphasis on scientific matters"

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson {. McKinnonl


NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The for
nation of another gigantic holding
company in the utility field and the
unexpected advance in copper prices
following enormous sales of metal
during the past few weeks are prob
ably the outstanding favorable
factors in the financial news. APP
parently influential banking sources
feel that profit possibilities in the
utility field have not yet been ex-
hauSted in spite of the substantial
price enhancement in this group of
securities. The change in the sit
uation in the copper industry is
probably as good as any other
business barometer we might men
ton as an indicator of what is to
be expected in the way of further
expansion in general commercial &C
tivity as the fall approaches. There
is but one element of uncertainty
which calls for a more cautious
attitude-the probability of an ad-
vance in the English bank rate, the
announcement of which may come
before tomorrow's opening, and the
brokers loans statement, one due to-
day and the other Thursday. Better
buying opportunities may develop
once these uncertainties are re-
moved.

ON Low CABLES
AND CROP NEWS
Substantial Rains Through
Northwest Regarded as
Bearish Factor.
BV United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Weak cables
from abroad and substantial rains
over the northwest last night sent
wheat prices on the Chicago Board
of Trade decidedly lower at the
opening today. Corn was fractionally
lower due to the good rains in parts
Of the belt, and oats were weak with
the other grains.
AS the market opened wheat was
q to / cent lower, corn was I'M
changed to q cents off, and oats
were a to 70 cents down.
Liverpool was much lower than
expected today, and with good rains
reported last night over the north
west which will aid grain not yet
harvested, somewhat lower prices
are expected at the wheat trade
here today With private reports out
of the way the market probably will
be narrower until after the govern
ment reports are out. No rain was
reported in Argentina, and the
weather was said to be cold and dry.
