Toppino and Simpson, or maybe Cy LelaAd or Peyton Glasb, shouldn't have to take much dust from a foreign quarter. For the coo meters relay, what would be the matter with Q team selected from Williams, Eastman, Horace steele, Art Woessner, Maynor Shove and the Hables boys, Ike and Abe?

 There arc three 2b-foot broad Jumpers available and, aside from that little Japanese who recently hopped 20 feet and an inch or two [ haven't heard of anybody beating that mark lately. Dick Barber Jumped 25 feet i-4 Inches and Lamoine Boyle did 20 feet even in the I. C. A. Ed Gordon also had Ia 25-foot jump and consistently performed over the 24 l-2 mark. Alfred Bates was just under % feet in winning the A. A. U.

CANADIANS SEEKING.
COAL IMPORT DUTY.
Dominion Interests Declare
Protection Is Needed
Against U. S. Product.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Additional grief Of vast potential pro-
portions threatens the already harasSed
coal industry of this country
This became known here as the Ma
tional Coal Association learned Cana
dian producers had approached the
minister of mines at Ottawa to request
larger subvention on coal shipped east
of Winnipeg, and seek protection from
the competition of American fuel oil.
A delegation of Nova Scotia producers,
headed by Premier Harrington of that
province. are said to have conferred
during the week with Premier Bennett
and other members of the cabinet and
requested that certain changes be made
in the tariffs. They said their industry
should be protected from imports Of
bituminouS coal, coke and anthracite
screenings, and that there should be APP
Piled the dumping provisions upon coal
produced by non-union labor Such a
mandate, the association says, would
affect predominant part of our exports
to Canada, which range from 10000
900 to 20000,0 900 tons annually.
The producers also are requesting
that a specific item in the Canadian
tariff, which gives proprietors of by
product recovery coke ovens a draw
back of 80 per cent of the duty on BIZ
luminous coal converted into coke by
them, should be Cancelled.
With respect to subventions. the Ca
nadians are asking for bonus on all
Canadian coal used in their cokine
plants; a subvention of one-half cent
per ton mile on all Nova Scotia Goa
discharged at st. Lawrence Eorts fol-
shipment inland, in order to place the
freight charge on a transportation par
ity with American coal shipped East;
and further, that the reduction Of the
Winter rail rate from SO ton to 81 a
ton should be effective throughout the
year. 1t was announced by the minister
of railways and canals that should the
request be granted the government at
Ottawa would be obliged to pay SO, 200, =
600 to the railways in reimbursement
for the transportation of freight in the
maritime provinces at the reduced
rates
1t is understood the Nova Scotia coal
producers want the tariff increased to
$l00 ton instead Of the present sc
| cents per ton, and that they are also
| seeking an embargo on imports of Rus
sian coal and for a more extensive use
of Nova Scotia coal by the Canadian
railways.

TRUST REGULATION
URGED BY RIPLEY
Expert on Railroad Merger Warns
Against Control of Wealth
by Few People.
b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Rigid governmental regulation Of in
vestment trusts and public utilities en-
gagged in interstate commerce IS urged
by Prof. William 2. Ripley of Harvard
University.
The author of railroad consolidation
proposals told the Senate Banking In
vestigating Committee that millions OF
American investors of small sums were
having their funds tied up in the hands
of a very limited number OF people
through the operation of investment
trusts.
He warned of danger in this practice
unless the Government assumed control
and required fun publicity and an
honest accounting OF the financing.
Ripley conceded his proposal involved
constitutional question, but said the
line should be drawn by the courts TO
determine which companies were en-
gagged in interstate business.
He said one of the cardinal weak
nesSeS" of the investment trust plant
resulted from a great temptation to
use the trust as waste basket IN which
to place something which cannot be put
in the hands of the public successfully
Marcus Nader associate professor at
New York University, and research dl-
rector of the Institute Of international
Finance, told the committee law hold
ing directors primarily responsible for
failures of banks would result in more
conservative banking"
He blamed lack Of responsibility of
officers and absence of bank liquldlty
due to excessive loans on securities and
mortgages and less liquid investments
for many of the closings in recent years.
To increase the liquidity of small
banks, including savings institutions, he
urged establishment of a central mort
gage bank for urban real estate which
could take mortgages held by banks,
and on the basis of this, issue its own
bonds"
This he said. would create ready
market for urban mortgages and in
times of stress enable the banks, COM
mercial as well as savings, to convert
their mortgages into cash"

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

In the early Autumn of 1929 the pub
lie utilities department Of MaSsachu-
sets handed down a decision denying
an application by the Edison Electric
Illuminating Co. of Boston TO split its
stock for l. In the decision some very
frank criticism WAS delivered of the
price level to which all public utility
stocks had been bid up in the great bull
market of that year The commission
expressed the opinion that instead of
splitting up its stock, the corporation
ought to reduce rates. 1t was this eX-
preston which gave the stock market
its first tremor and foreshadowed the
collapse of october and November.
The Edison Electric Illuminate
shares were not split, and they sell to-
day at a price higher in dollars than
almost any other utility issue. The
regular cash dividend is higher than
almost any other, at present $3.50 a
share annually. In the speculative ex-
element of 1929 the shares were quoted
above 400 and in the panic they drop
ped more than 200 points from the
high. In 1880 the range was only a
little over so points, and at this writing
they are selling approximately half way
between the high and low of last year.
Notwithstanding this hectic market
career. the stock, which is of only one
investment quality. At $50 the yield is
5.44 per cent, which is higher than that
TO be had from the stocks Of most other
operating companies of the same class.
Results for the full year of 1880 are not
available, and because Of lower rates and
the business depression, it is reasonable
to expect earnings will not be as large
as those for 1929, but the longer term
outlook is good. Even if a downward
revision in the dividend should be nee
essary, shareholders could still look for
ward to receiving from time to time
rights to subscribe to new capital. which
judging by the record of the past would
have a high market value
The corporation is unique in its policy
Of financing by short-term securities
paying them at maturity, either by a
new issue of the same kind or by SELL
ing additional stock. At present the
funded debt consists of three note issues
one of Sl0,000000, maturing November
l, 1881, carrying a 324 per cent coupon;
one of $20000,000, due November l,
1882, at per cent, and one of $780,
100000, due January Is, 1888, at per

CURB SHARES RISE
TO RECORD LEVELS
Public Utilities Featured as
List Moves Upward
After Holiday.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 24.-Fifty-
five stocks reached record heights for
1881 in early trading on the Curb Ex-
change today.
This list included Electric Bond e.
Share. Blue Ridge, American Cyanamid
B, American Superpower. Niagara Hud-
son Power, United Light 81 Power A,
Newmont Mining, Cord Manufacturing,
Aluminium Co. of America and Douglas
Aircraft. Cities Service came within a
fraction Of its previous peak.
To the tune of the biggest opening
and the widest advance on the Curb
Exchange in more than a year, this
market informally inaugurated trading
on its new floor today The opening
was attended by the largest number of
brokers and clerks that have appeared
in the curb arena in 13 months. They
were there, however. not so much out
of curiosity to see the new and en-
larged facilities, but to handle a stream
of orders that flowed in from all parts
of the world over the two-day holiday.
Big blocks were not uncommon in the
first Is minutes. Electric Bond e.
Share opened in a lot of $4,000 shares
at 5834 American Superpower came
ufacturing, in a block of 5000 shares,
opened at 1lR. Cities Service, on
$500 shares. started at 20. Niagara
Hudson Power and other utilities ap-
peared on the tape in 5,000-share
groups.
The strength of public utilities was
at once transmitted to the motors,
chemicals, foods, aviation shares cop
pers. trusts and radios. Late amuse-
ments, natural gas shares, steels and
some of the specialties joined In the
uprush. Sales in the first two hours
amounted to 534, 800 shares. the largest
when sos 300 shares changed hands in
that period.
Strength in Auburn Auto caused the
rise in Cord Manufacturing. Ford
Motor, Ltd, was weak in early dealings,
despite Lisbon cables telling of Ford eX-
pansion in Portugal. Traders considered
the Dominion automotive tariff would
benefit Ford Motor of Canada.
The winning of another patent suit
started an advance in HaZeltine Radio
Possibilities Of the use of Muscle Shoals
for a fertilizer plant and improvement
in the chemical outlook stimulated bull
ish operations in American Cyanamid B.
Associated Rayon common and preferred
shares started the upswlng in textiles.
Special buying operations came into
Tuhize- Chatillon, which continued Sat-
urdays brisk rise.
Rejecting the buoyancy of London,
most Of the international issues, espe-
cially utilities, were strong. The cop
pers, African. Canadian and American,
were aided by rumors Of another price
advance in the red metal. Aluminium
Co. Of America ran up ia points in the
forenoon.
Steady accumulation of Mead-John-
son was continued. 1t was followed by
such food shares as Pie Bakeries of

tional Sugar Refining and Food Ma
