ATLANTIC GULF MARKET FEATURE That Stock Drops 7 3-4 Points in Initial Trade. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The action taken by the minority stockholders of Atlantic Gulf and West Indies, in organizing a stockholders’ protective committee, looking to the appointment of a receiver for the corporation, caused a break of 7% points in that issue to 42% at the opening of the stock market to©*r. The minority stockholders charge mismanagement and dissipating of the corporation's assets. The rest of the list was unsettled by the sharp drop in Atlantic Gulf. American Woolen sustained a further logs of S points this morning, following its 5po.nt slump on Saturday, selling down to M. Tre oil shares were also under heavy pressure. Roval Dutch falling 2% points to -66. while Mexican Petroleum yielded points to 156*4, and Pan-American over 1 point to 7415. * Utah Copper continued In supply, falling 2 points to 50%. Texas Pacific Coal and Oil dropped I*4 points to 25%. The market for the leading issues was hurt by the fact that there were many absentees from the street, a large number being unable to reach the street because of interruption to train service. The suspension of the stock market firm of Herrick & Bennett also had a disquieting affect on the market. United States Steel yielded % of a point to R-17 i and Reading lost *4 °f a point to 75%. Baldwin i-ooomotlve dropped 1% points to 88% and then rallied to 80%. After the vigorous declines of the opening, the market turned steady although a few new weak spots were brought out In the forenoon. Traders operating from Southern resorts were thought to be responsible for: many of the violent losses at the start. Steel common got down to 82% and Baldwin hung around 88%. Southern Pacific issues were in steady demand. Pacific Oil moving up % of a point to 33%, and the Southern Pacific Bights rose from 17% to 18%. United Fruit was subjected to an attack at the end of the first hour, fulling 3 points. Marine preferred fell 2% points to 49%. International Paper dropped to 52%, a less In all of nearly 5 points. Central Leather, after selling .at 35%, I advanced to 36%. The preferred rallied 2 points to 82%. Mexican Petroleum yielded over 3 points to 154 Vi. Chandler sold down 2% points to 68%, (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Feb. 21— There was further weakness In the market Saturday, particularly In the few issues that have been subjected to considerable pre-sure recently, but It was noticeable during the trading that some of the early sellers were buying Saturday, which may merely indicate a disposition on the part of shorts to cover their com- ; mitment without in any way affecting the j merit of the situation. There seems to be anew wave of pes- ; aimism aroused by the poor corporate statements that have recently been published, which has cast doubt upon the permanency of the present dividend policy of a number of corporations, and I this suggests the thought, are we to have two bear markets on the same proposi- j tion ? Last year, when it became apparent 1 that business was bad -and that corporate showings would be poor, liquidation was on an enormous scale and we were justified in assuming that the market was then discounting everything unfavorable. Now. as the results of last year are published there is certainly no need for another period of liquidation, since it presents nothing new and merely confirms that which we anticipated and acted upon.

WHEAT PRICES SHOW GAINS Corn Quotations Fall, While Oats Were Slightly Higher. CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—Wheat prices advanced on the Chicago Board of Trade today, the result of scarce offerings. Corn fell in price. Oats made fractional Increases. Provisions were lower. March wheat opened up l%c at $171% and gained lc in later trading. May wheat opened up 2%c, advancing l%c before the close. May corn was up l%c at the opening -at 71%c, but dropped %c subsequently. July corn opened at 74c, up l%e, and dropped %e later. May oats opened up %c at 46c and advanced %c in later trading. July oats opened at 47%c, up l%c, and gained %c later. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Feb. 21— Wheat—Lower temperatures and snow In the Southwest £ave the early wheat market an easy tone on the belief that green bugs would be held In check. A better tone was given the market later by export business to the extent of 4 to 500.000 bushel. It is not known whether this business is against previous sales abroad or whether it is In anticipation of the expected sale to Greece on Monday next. Premiums for soft winter wh.eat were sharply lower, but this can not be construed as a legitimate reason for expecting the entire market to decline as I his grade of wheat is still selling uv some 24c over the March, which in turn is 10c # over May. We do not expect any radical action in the market, but feel that there has already been sufficient wheat exported to make the market very sensitive to any new business rrom abroad. North American wheat has been found of excellent quality and will therefore be in demand by Europe to some extent at least. Coarse Grains Considerable export business in corn has again ‘been done. The volume of this Is sufficient to keep the undertone of the market firm despite the prevailing belief in lower prices. We consider tlie market action demonstrated that the size of the crop and the amount in the visible supply have had due consideration and that it is now time to recognize that the farm feeding worth is considerably above commercial prices. Provisions Pork products are inclined to follow the hog market particularly so when hogs are lower. There is some evidence that a goodly portion of the warehouse accumulations ar in the hands of larger cash handlers. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Feb. 21WIIEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

FRATS WIN IN TAX SKIRMISH Senate Adopts Minority Report Favoring College Secret Societies. The whole question of whether a fraternity is proper in the life of a Hoosier college student and whether it actually ussists tte man working his way through school, or whether it is conducive, to a society spirit, was debated in the Senate this morning when an attempt was made to provide for the taxation of fraternity properties. The move came when a majority report of the Finance Committee reached the floor with a recommendation that fraternities be stricken from the list of those freed from assessments. The principal part of the bill exempted the Indianapolis Salvage Corps from taxation. A minority report signed by Senators Joseph Henley, Bloomington, and Robert L. Moorhead, Indianapolis, opposed the report. The Senate accepted the minority report by a vote of 19 to 12. QUESTION OF BENEFIT RAISED. The debate was on the subject of the benefit of fraternities and sororities to the student, the opinion of the Senators differing widely. Senator Henly declared fraternity houses take care of large numbers of students who otherwise would have to be housed by the State. Senator Estes Duncan replied by declaring that fraternities do not lessen the expenses >of students and that he could see no 'reason why such property should be exempted. lie pointed ettt that oilier houses in which students live are not freed from taxation and he expressed a doubt that the supervision of colleges and universities over tie frats is effective. The Senator asserted that in some towns the tax rate could be reduced 25 per cent if the Greek letter hmises were assessed. Senator Moorhead declared that churches should not be exempted if fraternity houses are not, and he dwelt at length on the accommodations the frat houses provide for students. MOORHEAD SAYS COST 18 LESS. •’Does it not cost students about S2OO a year more to stay in a fraternity house'/” Senator William A. McCullough, llockport, asked. "That has not been my experience,” replied Senator Moorhead. "I know n score of persons who could not have gone to college if it had not been for the fraternities.” Senator McCullough then asked if most of the members of fraternlteis were not wealthy and “society students.” Senator Moorhead declared that half of the frat members.are students working their way through college* Tin- Idea that only rich students belong to fraternities is wrong. Senator James 11 Humphries of Linton told the Senate. He pointed out that members of these organizations must make good record* In their studies in order to retain their membership. MILLER FAVORS MAJORITY REPORT. Senator Winfield Miller, Indianapolis, declared the principle of the majority report was correct and he contended that churches, as well us the fraternity properties. should he taxed. Senator James J. Nejdl, Whiting, said that if Creek letter organizations are not allowed to exist the State would he required to erect new dormitories at the educational institutions. The tax rate is $3 S3 in Bloomington largely because of the exemption of fraternity houses, Senator A. H. Beardsley | of Elkhart told the Senate. Senator Lee j J. llartzell. Ft. Wayne, also took the j stand that the organizations should pay j their share of taxes. Senator Joseph M Cravens, Madison, suggested if the fraternities are taxed they might transfer their property to the colleges.

BRADFORD, Pa., Feb. 21,—With three members of the family of Jesure Romanelll already dead and two others seriously 111, the board of health at la*wls Run today is taking every precaution to prevent the spread of a strange disease which, it is feared, is typhus fever.

DANGER OF EPIDEMIC DECL A RED REMOTE BOSTON, Feb. 21.—Danger from a typhus epidemic is remote and published statements of New York health officials regarding typhus “is for political effect,” declared Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum. miug, who came here today to examina Boston's immigration facilities. DRUMMER BIG MAN IN TOWN Montenegrins Have Unusual News Disseminator. CETTINJE. Montenegro, Feb. 21.—The world over the snare drummer is the man who attracts attention whether it be in tlieuter, orchestra and jazz band, surrounded by sundry and diverse noisemaking Instruments, or here in the midst of the mountains of Montenegro, where he is an important figure in the life of the country. Each town has its municipal drummer, engaged not so much for his noisemaking qualities. lie is the disseminator of the world's news aud of the official information of his village, for there are no newspapers here. When an important bit of pubic information is to be given out It is communicated to the drummer, who takes himself into the public square, beats a Jong roll nnd when he has gathered a respectful nnd attentive audience, ceases his drumming and by word of mouth delivers to them his message. It may be an announcement as to the hours when the Junior Red Cross dispensary for children will be opened, or it may be the call to arms, the signal that some new enemy is crossing the mountains into the country. Whatever it is for a certain period each day the drummer is the most important man in village and town. There are 65,000 Indian children of school age in the United States. The annual production of electric lamps in the United States is 130,000,000. BALLARD PURE KETTLE f RENDERED LARD Boiled Ham and Lunch Meats

RESENTS EDICT ON DRESS EV'IL Fashion Leader Points to Priests’ Rich Costumes. PARIS, Feb. 21.—Cardinal Dubois’ recent edict against dancing and modern dress in France has brought forth loud protests from leading dressmakers. Among these Paul Poiret, one of the leaders of French* fashions, is bitter against the archbishop of Paris. M. Poiret considers that decency In dress Is a matter of Interpretation and latitude. He admits that nothing which is j exaggerated is harmonious, but when Cardinal Dubois says that dresses are too rich Paul Poiret replies that church officers have always liked luxurious gowns for their own uses. He recalls that in time gone by priests wore richly embroidered gowns in gold and silver. He even cites those who wore silk stockings and furs and seriously asserts they did not wear such dresses for comfort. M. Poriet admits, however, that the deeolletus Parisiennes favor so much are aften too exaggerated. He further points out that if Cardinal Dubois’ edict was to be taken seriously by French women and if they gave up their stylish dresses some 400 000 women employed in the dress-making trade would soon be out of werk. TIMBER OFFERED BY U. S. FORESTS Supply Opened to Relieve Veneer Shortage. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—High prices of Southern hardwoods are causing manufacturers to turn to the White Mountain forests as a source of supply, according to the forest service, Department of Agriculture. High-grade lumber is now so costly as to prohibit its common use as the solid body of furniture and other wood products. This condition is causing manufacturers to resort to the increased use of veneers. Now we find the frame or skeleton of articles ranging from tables to phonograph cases made of common wood veneered with high quality stock. By veneeriug It is possible to get ten times as much surface measure as sawn lumber would yield, since 1.000 board feet of lumber will produce 10,<K)0 square feet of veneer, cut .05 inch thick. The New England forests are capable of supplying the wood-working factories of that region with veneer stock equal in quality to the material used in the South and by the large manufacturers of Wisconsin and Michigan. At present, however, there are only six mills in this region which produce veneer, an insufficient number to supply even local demands. Veneer mills should be near the source of supply. The White Mountain national forest of New Hampshire offers just such Ideal 'ondittons. says the forest service. The forest service does not confine sales from the national forest to veneer logs hut requires the removal of all merchantable material from areas on which cutting Is done.

SUIT IS FILED TO CHANGE WILL Chicago Women Wish $500,000 Turned Over to Them. Suit involving the disposition of real and personal property to the extent of about $500,000 was filed in Federal Court ; today by Amerla S. Long and Alice Jar- ; rett, both of Chicago, against the Union Trust Company and ten citizens of Indianapolis, named as trustees of a cheri- ; table bequest under the terms of the will of Henry C. Long, who died in 1901. The complaint asks that the charitable bequest, by the terms of which the income of the residuary estate remaining I after the death of Sarah C. W. Yong, : widow of the testator, should be devoted I to the establishment of a college of higher education for women and girls be set aside, and the estate turned over to the complaint plaintiffs.

S. ‘FILLUM > LONDON, Feb. 2i.—Last year America sent to this country more than 8,624 miles of moving pictures of a total value of nearly ten million dollars. This is one of ihe many statistics worked out by the Klnematograph Year Book, which this year makes its eighth appearance. It states that the hardest worked film star is Roy Stewart, who appeared in eleven new films last year, with Sessue Haynkawa and Corinne Griffith a dead heat for second place, with ten appearances each. From the same source it 1s learned that 599 new companies were formed In 1920 in connection with the industry and that an average of seventy-two new pictures a month were placed on view. Thirty of last year's films had the word “Man” in the title and twenty-five had the word “Woman,” “Wives" got into twenty-one of the titles, but-“ Husband” got into only eleven. “Love" was in nineteen. “Girl” In fifteen, “Heart” in twelve and “Shadow,' “Life’ and “Lady” In ten.
