Thinks Jackets Wouldn’t Stand j Under Eggler Hose—‘Prep’ Racers Are Blamed. The young athletes who shocked so ciety women of the North Side by the brevity of their running attire and brought a vigorous protest from J. A. Eggler, of No. 262 West Fourteenth street, were not Tech boys, according to K. G, Matheson. president of Tech. Not that the Tech boys’ costumes might not be regarded as somewo it abbreviated, but the Tech racers Jo not train on West Fourteenth street, from whence the complaints ema nated. Hemphill avenue and the stretch of woods between the Tech campus and the waterworks station is the train ing ground of the Yellow Jackets’ speed representatives. And during the years in which Tech has been in existence *no complaint has ever been made by the residents of this thor oughfare as to the immodest appear ance of the young men. The runners who have s*o scan dalized the Eggler neighborhood -ire prep students. At least, circumstan tial evidence points that way. Declaring that he had nothing to say about Mr. higgler's visit to police headquarters Monday and his threats to "souse” the runners with a garden hoae, President Matheson yielded to a smile. "Why, let him duck them in the re; ervoir,” said Dr. Matheson. "Befo.e they start the onslaught with wat^r, though. I would suggest that they ob tain some husky men to assist them, j^s the Tech runners are quite healthy young men and might decide to re verse condition.!.” Young men with speed ambitions have never minded the weather in At- lantand, and, no matter how' cold the wind was, have faced it in nothing but the lightest of racing costumes. Evidently unaware of Mr. Eggler’s threats, the Tech track squad held its regular practice run Monday after noon. The course taken, though, was in the direction Dr. Matheson had stated, and east-northeast of Mr. Eg gler’s home. Billposting Trust Seeks Truce WithU.S. In Sherman Act Suit WASHINGTON.

Influenced by short covering and better Liverpool ca bles than expected, the cotton market opened firm to-day with first prices at a net advance of 6 to 15 points from the closing quotations of Monday. Rain was reported over the greater part of the eastern belt with colder weather over the eastern States. There \yas quite a good deal of de mand on the advance In addition to covering there was act ive buying by houses with Liverpool connections. There was some profit- taking, but the market took this selling well. While sentiment continues against the market the advance was maintained. During the forenoon shorts covered rather urgently, seeing that the market was unexpectedly steady. This second wave of covering carried prices 18 to 22 points, or 90 cents to $1.20, a bale, above the previous close.

New Orleans futures and interior spots continue- to maintain a general average parity, Jan uary here having closed at 12.11. while the delta’s quotation for standard mid dling at common interior Texas points was 11 %c, and nearly 9.000 bales were sold at that price. There Is a carrying charge from month to month represent ed by the New Orleans contract quota tions from January to July. "After a decline of 176 points from the season’s high level on March, friends of the staple quite naturally discuss the logic of reactions upward of steadier markets henceforth arid of the desirabil ity of paving closer attention to the sta tlstical drift.
