- T00 FEW ARTICLES Kansas -Art Trostee Finds Trouble Getting Money’s Worth Kansas City, Feb. 7 (P—With approximately $500,000 a year which must be spent for paintings, en- gravings, sculpture, tapestries, and rare books, and prospects cf this sum increasing, Kansus City '« confronted with the problem of finding a worthy supply to meet the demand. A fund of about $650,000 now is available for the purchase of a site, | to build a museum, or to purchase art under the terms of the will of Mrs. Mary Atkins, wife of an early day Kansas City realtor, who died in 1911, In addition, the income from between $12,000,000 and $15,- 000,000 is available for the pur- chase of “works and reproductions of works of the fine arts” under the will of the late William Rockhill Nelson, founder of The Kansas City Star. Virtually $2,000,000 more is provided under the wills of his wife and daughter for the construction of a museum to house the Nelson collection. To further complicate matters, the huge fund available under the .Nelson wiil is for the purchase of works of artists who have been cdcad at teast 30 years at the time of the purchase. Notwithstanding the difficulties, R. A, Holland, director of the Kan- sas City, Art Institute, believes Kansas City eventually will be one of the leading art centers of the nation. He points out the central location as an advantage and pre- dicts that the interest awakened once the museums are functioning will lead other owners of large for- tunes to add to the art funds. The trustees of the Atkins and Nelson funds have discussed var-: jous plans for consolidating them and a definite program is expected to be set before 1928. Files Suit for $15,000 In Real Estate Dispute Suit for $15,000 damages has been | brought by Alexander Edgarian and others agalinst’ Salvatore Larocca, through Kirkham, Cooper, Hunger- ford & Camp.

STILL IN CONTROL But Wall Street Feeling I Rather Strained New York, Feb. 7 P—Speculators for the advance continued in control of the price movement in today's stock market despite the uneasiness caused by the strained Wheeling & Lake Erie situation, and sporadic bear attacks against a few special- ties. Chief speculative interest in the vailroad group shifted from the low | priced carriers to the dividend pay- ers while the industrial list was fea- tured by a sharp run up of 4 points in Hudson Motors. Except for a few extra dividends | on ofl shares and a readjustment of steel prices here to conform to re- cent price cuts in the steel districts, there was little in th eday's new to influence the price movement. The monthly tonnage statement of the U. S. Steel Corporation due Thursday, is expected to show a decreasc of about 100,000 tons in unfilled orders. The predicament of the ‘shorts” in Wheeling & Lake Erie common was strikingly illustrated by the premium of $5 a share a day, the highest in the history of the ex- change, which was charged for the loan of the stock and an extreme | gain of 15 points in the stock, which | touched a new high record at 95, as against a low of 27 1-2 last year. Directors of the road today author- ized the conversion into common of the prior lien and preferred stocks, then adjourned until later in the Ay without indicating what arrange- ments had been made to bring this about, as there s no authorized com- mon stock outstanding for this pur- pose. Buying of the dividend paying rails was spread over a fairly broad list with Chesapeake & Ohio, Lehigh Valley, Lackawanna, Bangor & Aroo- stook and Pittsburgh & West Vir- ginia standing out with extreme gaing to 3 to 4 points above last week’s final quotations. A. M. Byers and Oil Well Supply soared to record righs on reports that a community of interest had been established between those com- panies. The run-up in Hudson reflect- ed reports of increased sales of new models. Farm implements and rail- road equipment shares also present- ed several points of strength. Stock prices moved higher at the opening of today's market. Record high prices were established in the first few mfnutes of trading by Western Maryland common, Cruci- ble Steel preferred and Remington Typewriter. Houston Ofl opened 1% points higher and U. 8. Steel common, New York Central, Gen- erdl Motors and several other lead- ing rails and industrials improved fractionally. Heavy speculation in the low priced rails continued to feature the market, although trading in Wheeling and Lake Erie issues quieted down as the stock exchange called for additional information re- garding current transactlons and directors of the road met to con- sider plans to increase the author-| ized amount of common. A brisk demand for the St. Paul and West- | ern Pacific issues enlivened trading | during the first hour. Chesapeake | & Ohio was run up 3 points in ap- | parent expectation of an early| agreement between the Van Swer- | ingens and the minority stockhold- | ers' committee at conferences to be resumed this week. Houston Oil, | A. M. Byers, Amcrada corporation | and Hudson & Manhattan were; added to the list of new highs. | Speculative interest was at a high | pitch in the motor and anthracite coal shares, large blocks of which were absorbed at rapidly mounting prices. One block of 10,000 shares of Chrysler was purchased at 43. Reading and Pitisburgh and West Virginia touched new high prices for extended periods at 10513 and 142 respectively. Numerous specialties showed unusual prominence in the dealings, notably Certain-Teed pro- ducts, A. M. Byers, Oil Well Supply and Advance Rumely preferred. | Hudson® Motors crossed 60. The re- | newal rate on call loans was main- tained at 4 per cent. THE MARKET AT 2:30 P. M. (Furnished by Putnam & Co.) High Low Close All Chem and Dye ... Am Can ....
