Newman, private Wall Street M
vestor said yesterday his offer TO
buy the outstanding shares Of
stock Of Standard Oil of Nebraska
had not brought in enough shares
to carry out the plan. and the offer
has automatically expired
Newman said about 46 per cent
Of the 10000 shares of stock out
standing had been deposited under
the plan, whereas his offer had
specified at least 100000 shares must
accept.
The first offer to purchase the
Nebraska companys capital stock
at S12 share went out to stock
holders on April II and was to have
expired on May A. The offer was
extended to May 18 because of the
slowness of holders in agreeing to
the plan, but no provision was made
to hold the offer open longer.
Newman said the depoSitary
would promptly return the shares
deposited by individual holders.
He declined to comment further
on the failure of holders to agree
to his plan to sell their stock to
him at $l2 share against the
current price of about $3.50 a share

By tho Associated Press.

DS INC associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 19.-Opening
Of National Cotton Week next Mon
day may witness closing down of
some mills and curtailment by
others because price margins on
print cloths and other items have
declined. to the point where there is
little profit in operation, it was re-
ported IN the trade today
Although prices of raw cotton
have advanced recently, due to the
Governments failue to release loan
stocks and to high activity at the
mills, failure Of buyers to make for
ward commitments has piled up in
v2ntOrles in print cloths and the
Dl4Ce structure in Worth Street. the
textile Wall Street, has been sub
Ject to continual pressure.
Mill men said that profit margins
TO-DAY were about where thev were
IN 1888 when losses were heavy. AL
ready a number of important pro-
ducels have closed their plants and
more are expected to follow their
example within the next few days.
Cotton mill activity began to re-
cover rapidly last July, when the
Associated Press index showed it
at 327 per cent of the 1929-l93O
average. The upsWing continued
through the remainder of the wear
and January, 1889, began with the
figure at 1859 per cent. The latest
reported figure. for the week ended
May 6, was 1897 per cent.
Low retail inventories, necessitat-
ing frequent recorders by dealers.
have enabled the output to continue
so far at a reasonably high level. 1t
is now reported a majority of the
trade has agreed upon a 25 per cent
curtailment for the next four

Founders Day
b. Anne Pearl Horris'

The Twin City Chapter Of the
National Association of College
Women celebrated its first annual
Founders Day February 10 at
Phyllis Wheatley House in con-
junction with the Minneapolis Sum
day Forum. Mrs. Paul Shelby
Curry, branch organizer, presided.
The program was opened with
selections from the Phyllis Wheat
ley String Ensemble under the di-
rection of Miss jeanette Dorsey.
Miss Ruth Hamlin led the dis
cussion in a skit written by Mrs.
Paul Shelby Curry and Mrs. W..
Donald Brown to portray the aims
and detectives of the organization.
Other participants were: the
Misses Martha Wright, Beneta Ed
wards, Beatrice Vassar, and Mes
DANES Paul Shelby Curry and w.
Donald Brown. The purpose of the
national organization is to promote
closer union among Negro Col
lege Women, to study conditions
affecting the education of Negro
People, to raise educational stand
ards in the universities, and to
stimulate intellectual attainment.
The local chapter cooperates with
the National Association in its gen
eral work while carrying on indie
pendent local work. Miss Anne
Horris presented the tentative local
program for the year ending De-
cember, 1889. The chapter is rep
resented on the educational COM
mittee of the Minneapolis Urban
League whose primary interest is
to secure adequate vocational guild
ance for Negro students in the
Minneapolis Public Schools.
Through the research division
and the Big Sister Movement the
organization hopes to launch an at
tack on some of our most pressing
community educational problems.
The interest in awakening the COM
munity to scholarship possibilities
is especially keen since Misses
Horris, Benefit Cason, and Beneta
Edwards, president, vice-president,
and secretary respectively were
three of the six scholarship stu
dents recommended for the Ham
line University scholarships in
1881.
Following vocal selections from
Miss Helen. Yancey, accompanied
by Mrs. C. A. Yancey, the members
were introduced. Miss Bernice
Brown was presented in an inter-
pretive dance representing the
ideals of the College Women's
Club. ID
