¥ HARVARD WINS (Continued from First Page.) the Crimson. The Cambridge shell stroked by Amory, who until last stroked the Harvard varsity. Freeman, Yale stroke, was the same gritty individual who stroked Yale to victory last year over Harvard in the four-mile varsity. The Yale juniors showed little co- besion in their work, which consisted of 4 sharp stroke poorly manipulated. Harvard, in contrast to Yale's ragged Towing, displayed more finish and rive and won with hardly any oppo- altion. The Crimson, hitting at 34, gained the jump on the Blue rivals and steadily lengthened out this advan- showed between the two shells and from here to the finish it was only a question of by how much Harvard would win, as Yale seemed incapable of a recovery. After the race the Eli's rowed over @longside Harvard and doffing their shirts tossed them into the Crimson shell as a token of defeat. Harvard's time—2.35, 5.26, 8.24, 11.06. Yale's time—2.39%, 5.36, 8.34, 11.16. The Yale crew got into difficulties after passing the mile mark and Har- vard soon passed by, The Yale shell began to fill slowly and fell behind. Within two hundred yards of the Inish the Yale craft swamped and the crew stopped rowing while Har- vard passed over the finish line a winner. A Navy launch took off the Yale oarsmen from their waterlogged shell. CHAMP GUILFORD STROKE. BEHIND LEADING CARDS Chapman and Richard Tie for Medal in Tourney at Apawamis. J.D.

Failure of the Board of Estimate to provide sufficient funds with which to remove fire, health and moral hazards in the public schools of the city was emphasized to-day in check- ing up what has been done to remedy specific conditions pointed out just a year ago. Continued existence of many of the conditions complained of last year was pointed out in a letter received to-day by George J. Ryan, President of the Board of Education, from Mrs. Rogers H. Bacon, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Education of sev- eral allied women's clubs. This com- mittee and The Evening World a year ago made a survey of a num- ber of schools in the city and found conditions in many cases intolerable. Some improvement was found in a second survey after the summer vacation. The new report of the com- mittee declares that in only a few cases have all further necessary im- provements been made. The Board of Estimate, when it re- ceived the budget from the Board of Education, pared down to at least one-third the amounts demanded the absolute minimum to make only most essential repairs. For instance H. M. Devoe, Deputy Superintendent of School Buildings for Manhattan, asked $27,000 to put Public School 11, No, 814 West 17th Street, in proper repair. He was allotted $5,000 He has succeeded in remedying certain vital defects, and before the end of the year will have removed all absolute dangers, but the building is still a liability—as an investment and as a school building. For Public School No. 15, No. 728 Fifth Street, Mr. Devoe had to take $14,000 from the emergency fund to make the building habitable. Public School No. 106, No. 253 Lafayette Street, according to Mr. Devoe's minimum estimate, required $9,560. This school was especially attacked by The Evening World and the Joint Committee on Education of Allied Women's Clubs a year ago for its lack of play space, its poor lighting, its fire risk and unsanitary condition Mr. Devoe got $2,800 from the Board of Estimate. The school especially for condemnation last Julia Richman High building on West 13th Street near Sixth Avenue. This building had been condemned years before as un- fit. To make necessary repairs to the floors, to repaint the rooms, to install modern plumbing and make other essential repairs $8,290 was asked, The amount allotted was $2,400. Almost any school in the city will show the same history. For instance, $22,960 was asked to put Public School No. 28, No. 257 West 40th Street, into proper shape. The Board of Estimate granted $6,800. Out of $19,960 asked for Public School No. 107, at No. 272 West 10th Street, only $6,000 was provided. Nevertheless, progress has been imade. Although all conditions com- plained of a year ago have not been wiped out in virtually every case a beginning has been made and tli money already appropriated, and con- tracts or specifications drawn provide for a large measure of remedy be- fore the end of the year Even if all the money requested had been appropriated it is doubtful if all repairs could have been made unless the Board of Estimate—as well as the responsible members of the Board of Education—had also granted the request for more men, There is as great a shortage of ingpectors and clerks in the School Bui’ding Depart- ment as there is of money. For instance, the repair staff of Mr. Devoe for Manhattan is no larger than when the annual estimated work was $500,000. Now the work runs well over $1,500,000, but there are four vacancies to be filied € im the ortg- inal staff designed to handle one-third the work. More men and more money is the demand of all the superintend- ents, from C. B. J.

Canali Decision to Investigate Mexi- can “Pete” Cheers Up the Street. By R. R. Batson. There was an appreciably cheerier atmosphere in Wall Street this morn- ing. Around the lobby of the Stock Exchange there were many audible sighs of relief. The reason was that the Police Committee of the Exchange has finally decided to investigate tho manipulation that has been carried on recently in Mexican Petroleum. Brokers are requested among other things to give their positions in the stock, and report to the Police Com- mittee the amounts being carried for customers, the amounts borrowed and loaned and the extent of their recent purchases and sales. It is an investigation such as was carried on at the time of the corner in Stutz stock, engineered by A. A. Ryan. As a result of that investiga- tion, it will be remembered, Stutz was withdrawn from the list and thereby made ineligible for trading on the Stock Exchange. Whether or not the Police Com- mittee find that a corner exists in Mexican Petroleum, or whether the trades in it have been of a nature to conform to the rules of the Exchange, there is what seems to be a large ma- jority of brokers who are hoping that the Governors of the Exchange will throw Mex. Pete off the list. They consider that the sensational manipu- lation in it last year, coupled with its recent sky-rocketing, has injured the reputation of the Exchange to a murked eéxtent, and has further opened the door to incorporation. Aside from the loss of mental equi- librium caused by Mexican Petrol- eum's gyrations, a great many brok- erage houses are plainly upset by the necessity of answering the question- naire recently sent out by the Ex- change. It is claimed by many people who know Wall Street best that, asser- tions .o the contrary notwithstanding, Stock Exchange houses who have not made it a practice to offset purchases of customers by sales for firm account were something of a rarity. This practice was born of necessity. In active bull markets a great many member firms found that they did not have sufficient capital to accept and carry all business offered by custom- ers so, in order not to have to refuse business, purchases were made for a customer's account, but the same amount of stocks purchased for the customer was soon thereafter sold for firm account. In this way expansion in the loan account was checked, and no further tax was placed on capital account. Strangely enough, partners of houses that followed this practice would not for an instant consider it dishonest, and they would hotly resent the imputation that they were buck eting. But the recent epidemic of failures of outside brokerage firms has caused a general recasting of opinions on this subject. The questionnaire sent out by Gov- ernors of the Exchange to member firms is a club over the head of bro- kers who might otherwise continue to sell stocks against customers’ orders. No longer daring to bucket orders, they are faced with the necessity of either raising new capital or have their business cleared or financed by richer members of the Exchange. And to have business cleared by another house means, of course, a loss of profit to the broker so unfortunate as to have insufficient capital to finance all business offered. A solution of the problem confront- ing these weaker brokers would be « break in the market. And a severe market break is what many brokers are literally praying for. It would mean a reduction in the size of cus. tomers’ commitments and less strain on inadequate capital. It 1s stated by a person whose opin ions on the matter must be given con- siderable weight that as a result of the long string of million-share days which has pushed the aggregate of brokers’ borrowings up close to $1,- 500,000,000, there are probably not more than fifty br@kerage houses in @ position to comfortably accept « material increase in business.
