j TODAY’S MARKETS ~j
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—(A5)—
1 Security markets stepped carefully
today as the grain prices situation
■ and firming dollar rates tended to
i cloud the speculative and invest
, ment horizons.
Stocks and bonds mulled about
in unusually dull trading. Grains
at Chicago were unchanged at their
minimum levels, and only a few
, scattered trades were made. Wheat
. recovered at Winnipeg after the
, authorities there “pegged” the sell
, ing figures. The dollar again move
up substantially in foreign ex
change dealings. Cotton and other
commodities were uncertain.
The majority of leading shares
moved dififdently. Homestake Min
ing dropped 6 points, and declines
of fractions to around a point were
registered by National Distillers,
Alaska Juneau, General Electric,
Consolidated Gas. Allied Chemical
and Owens-Illinois, Chyrsler, In
ternational Nickel, Du Pont and
General Motors were up slightly.
Many others were unchanged.

enforcement arm of the depart
ment of justice has reached out and
captured the parties responsible for
these outrages.”
Invoking, then, the might of the
government, he appealed to the peo
ple to come to it for aid.
“This division,” he said, “was aid
ed so unerringly in the apprehension
of the recent kidnapers that we are
asking you to consider carefully the
record of the divsion and to co
operate fully with it should occasion
arise.”
Identified as Gunman
“It is ridiculous to think that the
gangster and racketeer, a negligible
proportion compared with the great
body of American people, is super
ior to the mind, ingenuity and re
sources of the nation. The depart
ment of justice will neither tempor
ize nor equivocate in attacking this
problem.”
Atty. Gen. Cummings expressed
.belief that Bailey, an escap|d Kan
sas penitentiary convict, was the
leader of one of the country’s most
'’dangerous criminal gangs.
Cummings said Bailey had been
identified as an operator of a ma
chine gun in the slayings at Kansas
City. The slaughter resulted when
gangsters attempted to free Frank
Nash, fugitive convict, while he
was being returned to prison, only
to kill him accidentally in the hail
of bullets that mow?ed down four
officers, including an agent of the
department of justice.
Bailey, taken at a lonely farm
cabin near Paradise, in north Tex
as, and the four others arrested
there, were held here for probable
early return to Oklahoma City.
Bailey was captured Saturday but
news of his arrest was withheld un
til Monday in the hope other mem
bers of his gang might return to the
rendezvous. Federal operatives, aid
ed by local officers, surprised him.
They said they found marked monev
that had been paid to effect the
safe return of the oil operator.
Urschel Identifies House
Urschel went with the federal
agents to the lonely cabin and there
identified it thoroughly even to
finger-prints.
Stanley emphasized particularly
the fact the justice department had
been enabled to move so swiftly
and surely in the Urschel kidnap
ing because it had quick informa
tion.
“This, I believe, proves that when
the law enforcement authorities re
ceive the cooperation of the famil
ies in such cases, together with the
very excellent cooperation of the
local authorities, which was extend
ed in this particular case, real re
sults can be obtained.”
At Denver, Detective Capt. Wil
liam Armstrong said Bates was
r.anted in a dozen states for bank
robberies and holdups, and, the cap
tain added, “We were getting ready '
to fight about a dozen states that I
are going to demand that Bates be
turned over to them. We want to
send him to prison for life for a
Colorado robbery.”
Police announced they found
marked ransom money, paid for
Urschel’s release, on Bates.

problem apparently was the prin
cipal deterrent to a revival of stock
market enthusiasm, the recent
climbing tendencies of the dollar
again became a financial factor.
In banking circles it was * said the
the strength of American currency, j
internationally could be attributed
to several influences.
The principal one, it was be
lieved, had to do with a moderate
change in sentiment relating to
inflationary possibilities. There is
also said to be a huge short posi
tion in the dollar throughout the
world. In addition, exchange deal
ers say, there is a considerable
seasonal demand for dollars in |
commercial transactions around
this time of year.

points above yesterday’s close. Late

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—(ff*)— The
ceremony of blackboard exhibition
of fictional quotations took place
promptly today on the Chicago
Board of trade. About the only
variation from recent experience of
brokers and spectators was placard

time, while Canadian trade authori
ties considered what to do in view
of abnormal conditions here.
Virtually no dealings in any kind
of grain were witnessed in Chicago,
and prices which were formally
posted were the minimum allowed
under emergency rules, unchanged'
from yesterday and Saturday.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Aug. 15.
—National Guardsmen were mobiliz
ed today to protect a wounded negro
who escaped a lynching party which
killed two others Indicted with him
in the slaying of a white girl. The
negro, Elmore Clark, was found yes
terday im a shed at the home of a

since the lynching Sunday, said
Clark was frightened and suffering
from three wounds in his thighs
He told the officers he was glad they
had come, but other than to state
members of the mob were masked
he could give no details.
Clark with Dan Pippen, Jr., 18,
and A. T. Harden, was indicted in
the slaying of Miss Vaudine Mad
dox, 21, in Tuscaloosa county. Pip
pen and his parents repudiated at
torneys retained by the Interna
tional Labor Defense when his trial
was called on Aug. 2, and the case
was postponed indefinitely.
Threatened violence against the
negroes in jail here led Sheriff
Sharr.blin to attempt to remove them
to Birmingham for safe keeping.
Early Sunday two carloads of mask
ed men hemmed in the car in which
the negroes -were hand-cuffed to
gether and forced the officers to
surrender them.
Several hours later the bodies of
Pippen and Harden, riddled with
bullets were found about a mile from
Woodstock in the woods. How Clark
escaped and made his way to Vance,
officers did not learn.

They want to buy
Buicks and Pontiacs *
Do you want to Sell them?
ijoNTIAC is the fastest-selling Straight Eight in the
world today—and the leading car in its entire price
class. Buick is outselling all other eights priced above
$1,000, combined! We want a good business man to sell
and service these two popular cars right here in this city!
This is a real opportunity to establish a pleasant and
profitable business with a reasonable amount of capital.
Buyers all over the United States are turning to Pontiac
in numbers that assure a good, substantial market in
any territory where a capable dealership is established.
Buick, for years, has been the most popular car in the
medium-price field. There are many people right here
in this territory who would like to buy Buicks and
Pontiacs. Do you want to sell them?
Good business experience is the major requirement.
An investment is needed, of course, but its size is not'
prohibitive. Previous automotive experience is desir-j
able but not essential.
Such an opportunity as this does not occur often.
The indications are that the motor car market is rising;*
and Pontiac and Buick are leading their respective price
groups in the rise. If you think you are the man to form
this Buick-Pontiac dealership—and if its profit-making
possibilities appeal to you—write or wire immediately to—
