STOCK EXCHANGE 15 PLEASED WITH EUROPEAN NEWS Departure of Turks From Lausanne Leaves Opening for New Negotiations, STERLING RECORDS GAIN Industrial Leaders and Rails Open at Best Levels in Recent Uprush. By Wall Street Journal NEW YORK, Feb. 7. —Wall Street today was greatly pleased over the departure of Turks from Lausanne. Ismet left the way open for resumption of negotiation if allies so decide, and cable advices before the opening of the market said the British were prepared to send another delegation to the Near East conference if the Turks have assurance that an agreement could be reached. Sterling's movements in the early dealings reflected no misgivings over the European outlook and stocks concentrated on the unmistakable evidence furnished in the previous session that the market had returned to the aggressive phases of the bullswing. Industrial leaders started at the best levels on the present uprush while rails also were in active mood. Sterling advanced fractionally from its opening level in the first hour, leaving no doubt as to the correct Interpretation of the Turkish government’s decision on allied plans. In view of sterling's indifference, stocks saw no reason to borrow alarm over developments in the Near East, and the first hour's activities converged largely on the market’s international position. After the sharp advances of the last two sessions, profittaking naturally was in order. Twenty active industrial stocks Tuesday averaged 101.01, up .98 er cent; twenty active rails averaged 68.93, up .85 per cent. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Wednesday were 53,243.000; bank debits were $.5,868,100. Foreign Exchange By fritted I inancial NEW YORK. Feb.

LISTLESS TONE MARKS CURB MARKET TRADE Industrials and Oils Show Best Activity. By United Financial NEW YORK.

Industrials again fought the oils for the market leadership. The Goodyear stocks held the high prices of yesterday’s dosing while Durant went to 59 and Fleisehmann bettered its previous high, going well above 35, and Hayes Wheel to 39.

EVEREST CLIMB SAPS ENERGIES Mallory Says Mind Is Also Affected by Expedition, NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—George Leigh Mallory, a noted English mountain climber, has arrived to give a series of lectures on the Mt. Everest expeditions, of which he was one of the leaders. Mr. Mallory, who is about 30, gained his experience in the Swiss Alps. lie was selected to make a preliminary trip to the Himalayas in 1922, and due largely to Mr. Mallory, it was said, the expedition sent out to India last year attained an altitude of 27,235 feet, the highest point known to have been reached and in sight of the summit. Asked whether Mt. Everest, which Is 29.002 feet high, would ever be scaled, he replied; “It Is a gamble, of course. At the point where we stopped, fourteen hours would have brought us to the summit from the last camping place, but conditions were against us, night was coming on and our strength was giving out. The great trouble is that, all your energy seems to evaporate. The mind is also affected.” "Did you taka any alcoholic stimulant” “The medical advice was against it. but we did take a little brandy in the higher altitudes with good results. It seemed to give a mental stimulus and had no detrimental effect physically. The same Is true of smoking. I never inhale, but smoking ordinary cigarettes in the usual way had no bad effect. Youth plays an lmpor tant part fn climbing to the high altitudes, and an older man would have been unable to get on without oxygen. The thing that tells most against older men is a lower degree of resistance in 'he arteries.” Business News WASHINGTON, Frb. 7.—Proposed increased rates on grain and grain products from certain stations on the Clearwater branch of the Northern Pacific Railway in Idaho to Spokane.

F., Feb. 7.—The giant body of Krtshan Jacob Lorensen, sailor man, who by right of might became a ship’s master for a day, is a-rolling on the floor of the angry deep. Lorensen's bunk was the most comfortable in the forecastle of the Danish schooner Cental, rus. He was a good Bailor and a good fighter. Ho took what he wanted and tolerated back talk from no man. He wasn’t scared of the ‘‘Old Man,” Krishan Rasmussen, neither did the size of the first mate, Kirk Knudsen, bother him. The Centaurus drove out of Spencer’s Cove, Newfoundland, bound for Harbor Buffet, on Dec. 15. Two days out the captain and the first mate got Into a heated argument about the schooner's position. They talked loudly. Entered Lorensen, scowling, hands on hips. He told the skipper and the mate that neither of them knew where the vessel was. He laughed when ordered •on deck. He tossed the “Old Man” end Erik clear across the cabin when they tried to put him out. He then ocked them in and took charge of the schooner. Seven times did the captain and the mate try to get on deck. Seven times they were kicked down the championway. Storm came. The Centaurus rolled and pitched. Loreneen, at the wheel, grinned and turned her nose to sea. The skipper, frightened for his vessel's safety, got his gun, crawling to the cabin door and fired, intending to scare lyorensen. The bullet struck the sailor In the arm. He smiled, refusing to go below to have the wound dressed. Six hours later, while singing a song for the sea, he dropped to the deck, weak from loss of blood, and died.

wm lABOOS HISJJKENESS’ Boston Executive Takes Relief Down From Wall. BOSTON, Feb. 7.—Mayor Curley has relegated to a top shelf a bronze bas-relief of himself, made by R. E. Brooks of Boston, after the work ha3 occupied a conspicuous place on the wail of the executive chamber at the city hall for a number of years. In its place has been hung a similar work by C. S. Paolo. Mayor Curley said he objected to the Brooks piece because it made him look too much like former Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, his political enemy. The Boston art commission has to pass on all works of art that hang in the city hall or any other municipal building, and it was necessary to have the official O. K. of that body before his honor was able to make the change. It Is evident that that distinguished body took the necessary action, but it was all done quietly and nobody know anything about lt toda.y until the new work went up on the wall In place of the one taken down. The explanation is given that the Brooks piece was done early in Curley’s first term and "doesn’t look much like him now.” Robber Attacks Woman B-' Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 7.
