PRICES BOOM IN FIRST DAY
 OF THE MARKET
It Was Like Old Times Down Around Wall Street To-day = Trad- ing Was Very Heavy
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM United Press Financial Writer)

New York, March 15-(UP)- Stock market trading, fettered by nine days of official suspension. roared back into the major ex- changes of the nation today.
 Prices boomed. Great blocks of stock reeled out on the tickers. And downtown New York resumed the intense activity which charterizes busy days in the centers of trade as thousands of workers, having been on holiday since March 3, re- turned to their posts.
 Stocks of companies which would benefit by legislation of beer were in demand at rising prices.
 In the first half hour 540,000 shares were traded in the New York stock exchange. At the rate of 5,4OO,000 for a full day. This contrasted sharply with 150,0O0 shares in the first half hour of March 8, the last trading day.
 This activity was transferred to the district outside the exchanges. Traffic was heavy on lower BrOad- way and in Wall street. Again workers-brokers, traders and the

Recalling a speech yesterday in which Senaotr Fess, repn. Ohio declared Congress could not ecou- omize, Borah declared:
 ''The opposition has come from the executive department all through this long fight for coon omy. Now the senator says one of the most essential bodies in the government has broken down.
 "I maintain the record will show the real point of extrav- agance in this government, the place where money is demandeds is in the executive department.
 "The 26 commissions and bu- reaucratic creations of the last few years have not been on the initiative of Congress. They have been urged by the executive de. partments, and these expenditures are the real source of extrav- agance and of the great burden on the taxpayers. The most extrav- agant government ever created by the mind of man is a bureau- cracy."
 Borah charged that responsible ity for vast federal payments to veterans rested with former Presi- dent Harding.
 "When I opposed the bonus was called to the White House and advised that opposition would be ruinous to the republican party -it was MT Harding that talked to-"
 Senator Reed, repn, Pennsyl- vania, jumped up and said both President Harding and President Coolidge had vetoed every bonus sent to them"
 "It is an open secret why they did it." Borah replied. Senator Robinson, dem, Arkansas, asked him what he meant.
 MT Mellon was absolutely op- posed to 1t and said he would not remain in the cabinet If 1t were signed" Borah replied.
 MT Mellon has been the victim of more open secrets than any other man in the United States, Reed interposed.
 "Only to-day I received a letter saying that it was reported that MT Mellon recently had exported $5,O00,0OO in gold to himself in London and that he didn't dare return to the United States. I am informed by persons who know that MT Mellon did not export $5,- 100000 in gold to himself and the answer to the rest of 1t is that he is sailing the day after tomorrow for home"

age. He was well over six feet In
height; with slim. well-muscled
figure. His manner was that of a
man of the world.
Vague stories had trailed Pat to
the MARYLAND campus. Rumor had ii
that he had been invited to resign
from the two northern universities
where he had done freshman and
sophomore work. He hadn't been
expelled exactly, but there were
ugly stories having to do with GER
tain social activities which con-
scientious student councils felt
their colleges might well dispense
with.
He had never been a part of Mar
land. He bore himself with a Ger.
tain aloof dignity. as though the en-
thusiasms and excitements of col
lege life were for those younger
and less experienced than himself.
He dressed Immediately and ex-
pensively. but disdained the ex-
tremes of tailoring so popular with
the campus youth Of the day. He
had been elected to Psi Tau Theta
at one of the other colleges and
since arriving in the South had
lived at the Psi Tan fraternity
house.
Apparently he had ample money.
and In the classroom he experienced
little difficulty. The professors felt
that Pat Thayer was above the av-
erage student in worldly expert
ence; they resented his superior
manner and shis fnsouciance. yet
even those who detested him most
heartily could not fail to give him
excellent grades.
His campus reputation was nei-
Their savOry nor downright bad.
Certain of the students spoke of
him as q wild one. but no one had
ever caught him in the act of being
wild. The result was that he was
the ruler at q court OF youngsters
who made humble obeisance to his
superior wisdom and experience.
He was mature-yet il was queer
twist in the mans nature that he
had little contact with his class
mates. They seemed to see him
too clearly for his own peace of
mind. and SO he cOntented himself
