Council of last year. Among other
things we were able to report at the
annual gathering that three lives
had been saved during the past year
by members of the council and that
we had grown from 20 to 26 Scout

NEW YORK, January 16.-High-
grade bonds. both foreign and domestic,
held firm or gained fractionally today,
while second-grade and speculative de-
scriptions had lower trend.
A total of over $4,000 900 of new
bond issues, while not large itself,
nevertheless brought the total of the
weeks offering to around $240, 600, 900
and proved deterrent to the resumption
OF any general advance by fixed income
securities. Money rates were still at
their lowest point, with the money
market giving every evidence that they
will hold there for some time to come.
Volume was heavier than an Thursday,
but still Of moderate proportions.
Rail Bonds in Demand.
At the opening there were number
of stable. buying orders for railroad
bonds of the investment grade. These
included purchases by overseas inveS-
tors who have again turned to the
American markets in the last few days.
There were fractional gains in Balti-
more g. Ohio As and Canadian Pacific
As, with flrmness in Atchison general
Is, Great Northern rs, New York Cen
trail as, Nickel Plate 4 rs and Union
Pacific first As.
Other prime issues were steady, the

dull.
Return Of Funds.
In connection with the overseas pur-
chaSes of American securities, one New
York house today reported receiving an
order from Milan, Italy, for $50, 900 of
American stocks and bonds, chiefly rail-
road securities. This was the second
such order in the past two months. One

OFFICIALS HOLD NO INQUEST

Linton, N. D., July 1O.-Funeral
services were held here Thursday for
William Rensselaer,, 10, who COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself in
a barn 10 miles from here. A physi-
cal defect which he had from birth
was believed to have been the cause
OF his committing the act.
A 1~5-year-old brother discovered
the body approximately five minutes
after the boy had hung himself.
According to his parents there was
nothing unusual in the boys be-
havior on the evening of the tragedy.
His mother said that earlier in the
day she had corrected him for tying
cows tails together but because of his
sensitive and melancholy disposition
she had refrained from speaking
harshly to him.
The boy had finished his evening
chores, members of the family said,
and when last seen he was walking
leisurely towards the barn. Five min
utes later he was found dead, hang
ing from a rafter a halter around his
neck.
Emmons county authorities said
that they were satisfied death re-
suited from suicide and there was no
inquest.
William was the youngest of four
brothers and two sisters. His father
died three years ago.
For a number Of years the boy had
shown a tendency to brood over his
physical infirmity, members OF his
family said.

er with the 500 depot. were burg

Hagen is Leading
In Canadian Open

Mississauga Golf Club, Toronto,
July 10.-(F-Walter Hagen added
another 68 to his par-shattering
round Of yesterday in the Canadian
open golf tournament to take the lead
among the early finishers of the Sec
ond round with q 36-hole total of
1876.
Hagen's score was bad news to
those who faltered as it automatically
fixed the qualifying limit for the last
two rounds at 1856, the rule being that
only those within 20 strokes of the
leader should play the last day.
Percy A1liss of Berlin, who led the
parade Thursday with q 81, shot q
II, one under par. His 36-hole total
Of 1888 put him in second place with
about half the field in.
