New York, Oct. IS tP'-Furth"r settlement developed in today'a stock market from uneaslness ere atcd by the sharp rise in brokers loans last week to within $3.00O,Q00 of the record high.

Trading showed a tendency 10 turn dull on the rallies
 Short Selling Plentiful
 While short selling was again an important factor in the public utility group the size of the short interest in some of inc imdustrials has reached unwieldy proportions, leading to occasional furries of buying as bears rush 10 cover, Leading commission houses continue to advise their customers to tighten commitments and exercise extreme care in the making of new pur- chascs until the market has given a defnite indication that it has touched bottom.
 With nearly $20O, O,0oe.UuO in new financing called for payment this week, including the Marine Midland and Texas Corporation issues, Wall street was faced with the possibility Of a further increase in loans next week to another new high record unless heav.- liquidation should de vclop before next Tuesday. Mean while. credit conditions continue to ease. Gall money dropped today | from 6 to per cent as banks sought to employ surplus funds over the weekend, and the time money market continued quiet.

CRIMSON ATTACKS
 HARVARD SOCIETY
Hasty Pudding Club Accused Of
 Drunkenness, IndeCency

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. IS R)- Charges of drunkenness and in docency during limitations for the Hasty Pudding club at Harvard have been made by the Harvard Crimson, undergraduate daily. in consequence of a series of disturb -lcos involving newly elected stu dents on Wednesday.
 The Crimson recorded that a Chinese student was thrown violent ly down the steps of the Figg art museum by q ncophyte for mo ap- parent reason except that he was born and brought up in the Orient" It went on to say:
 There is obviously heavy drinking in connection with the pudding run. nlng and there is reason to believe that this public display of drinking and it's unfortunate results are sane tened and even encouraged by those managing the limitations.
 Women students are regularly seen in the yard and in the class room buildings. It is an affront to them and a slur upon Harvard that they are forced to run gauntlet of baudy ballads, drunken glances, and obscene recitations to attend their lectures"
 The Crimson concluded by re- marking: Tt will be unfortunate If the college authorities feel forced to break with custom and interfere with q situation which should be corrected by the individuals direct ly responsible. It will be q sorry re- fleCtion on Harvard maturity if preparatory school correction must be meted out from above" There has been no word of dis ciplinary action by university au- thorities deviating from the GUS tomary hands off policy, but dis erect steps, it is believed, will un- doubtedly be taken to avoid any
 recurrence of this weeks episodes

that Of Georges Carpenter. The
French gladiator started as bantam
and grew to a size that made him
logical" as an opponent for Jack
Dempsey, though they lied about his
weight when he entered the ring at
Boyle's Thirty Acres. At that time he
was in fact light heavyweight and did
ship.
But Willie Meehan, who started
as a bantam, actually did become a
heavyweight, a rot,lnd and pudgy
heavyweight, resembling greatly the
round gladiator who used to tight
under the euphonious name OF
Porky Flynn. I recall seeing Nee
han fight Eddie Campi for the BAN
tamweight championship of the Pa
cific Coast. AS I recall 1t. William,
who was then a trim little gladia-
tor, lost the decision, though he put
up q game battle.
Subsequently, William worked through
all the other classes. He did not grow
simply became rounder and rounder.
The legend was that he gained weight
through drinking a nutritious malt bev-
erage peculiar to San Francisco. At
any rate, he reached tonnage Of close
to 200 pounds.
Naturally, a battler Of this shape
never was taken with any great serious
ness. In fact, William never seemed
to take himself seriously as he con-
tinued to swell. But as the roundest OF
the heavyweights he attained one dis
tinction. He met Jack Dempsey when
that gladiator was at his best and an
noyed him no little. In fact, he ex-
aSperated Dempsey more than any other
fighter.
II Mr.. Walker survives and continues
to swell, he will become another Willie
Meehan.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ETROIT, August 31.-Gar Wood,
plotting Miss America VIII, won
the FIRST 3o-mile heat Of the
- Harmsworth Trophy Race in
the Detroit River here this af-
ternoon.
The English challenger, Estelle ~,
pIoted by Marion Barbara CarStairs,
developed engine trouble at the start of
the third lap and dropped out. Miss
Los Angeles II also developed engine
finish third behind Miss America VII,
which came in second.
Miss America VIII made the 80 miles
at 1882 miles an hour. A new record
for the Harmsworth. The old record
was 61.51 miles an hour. made by Gar
Wood, the defender of the trophy. at
Cowes. England, with his Miss America
in 1920.
Nemesis Pursues British Entry.
The Ill luck that has logged the
efforts Of English challengers to recover
the Harmsworth plaque pursued Miss
CarStairs In today's race over a course
Of 80 nautical miles. After completing
two laps at . speed approaching IS
statute miles an hour, her boat devel-
oped ignition trouble and forced her to
drop out Of the heat and destroyed an
other effort on her part to win the
trophy. Last year her boat overturned.
Gar Woods victory came in thrill
ing finish with Miss America VII.
driven by his brother, George Wood.
So close was the finish that only the
electric timing device could catch the
nose Of Miss America VIII in front
The timers showed that George Wood
had driven his craft at a speed of
1881 statute miles an hour, or only
one-hundredth Of mile per hour
slower than Miss America VIII.
VII to a speed Of 1888 statute miles
race. It was the fastest speed ever
made In q speed boat race over any
course other than q straight-away.
Sticks to the Race.
Miss Los Angeles II, the third Ameri-
can boat in the race, also developed
motor trouble. but stuck doggedly in
the race. John McGarva was still driv-
Ing the Los Angeles boat around the
course half an hour after the two Miss
Americas had crossed the finish line.
Timing his start perfectly. Gar Wood
was across the starting line about 10
seconds after the gun. Close on his
stern was Miss America VII. The
British challenger was only few yards
behind. Gar Wood soon shot into the
lead and held 1t comfortably until near
the end Of the last lap. When 1t be-
came apparent that the race was be-
tween the Wood brothers boats, they
set about to give the crowd a thrill
and the finish provided 1t.
