BRIGHT SCHEME.
Photographer Takes ChIldren's Pic
lures on the Streets

A three-year-old boy who lives on
West End avenue, and isn't missing
many Of the sights Of this life that
come within his range Of vision, re-
turned home with his nurse one morn
ing last week and told a tale Of dis
appointment that was heartbreaking to
him and a little disquieting to his
father, says the New York Sun. A man
whom the nurse didn't recognize, and
who carried a big black box under his
arm, stopped them, apparently inter-
ested in the bright-looking boy, and,
after asking him his name and where
he lived, said:
Now, don't you want to see the
doves fly out of this box?'
Yes" answered the boy promptly.
Then stand over near that step and
watch"
The nurse was as much interested as
her charge, and as soon as the boy
had placed himself where he could see
the doves, the man cried out: Now, -
and then something clicked in the box,
but no doves appeared He explained
that it was too cold for the doves to
come out, and the boy tramped home
filled with Indignation. His father sus-
pected that it might be a scheme to
kidnap the youngster, and cautioned
the nurse to avoid all strangers in fu-
ture. Yesterday a photographers enve-
lope came addressed to the boy, and in
it was proof of an excellent picture
from which the photographer offered to
print a dozen photographs at a low
rate. His studio is in an unfrequented
downtown street, and when business
got dull last summer he tucked a camera
under his arm and went out in search
Of subjects that would make selling
pictures. He found his field in photo
graphing children. He took pictures of
them in the parks and on the uptown
streets, wherever he could find them in
picturesque poses, and his business has
grown so rapidly that he devotes all
of his time to this outside work, and
employs several assistants to develop
and print his pictures.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-The London and
New York stock markets yesterday and today
have shown results like chemical action and
reaction. The strong upward movement
which characterized tho later dealings here
was reflected in the London prices Of Amer
lean securities today, and the London market
again gave the tone to the opening dealings
here. Yesterdays strength was continued in
today's market and the bears found them
selves unable to cope with the situation.
There was. indeed, notable absence OF eff
fort to stem the course of prices and the
shorts were content to get under cover in
face of the bul!sh temper of the market.
With the exception of slight reaction shortly
before the close, due to profit-taking, the
market held firm with marked upward
tendency throughout the day.
In today's market the railway list attracted
an increased proportion of attention espe-
cially the grangers. There was quite a large
amount of buying through commission houses
on outside orders, indicating a degree Of spec
ulattve interest in the market which has
been absent for a long time. The very en-
couraging traffic returns from railways for
the third week in February must be cred
TIED with part of the strength in the rail-
way shareS, and by reflection in the general
list. Undoubtedly also today'S movement was
In part due to an intention to discount the
Improvement in values which has for some
time been confidently counted upon in con-
necuon win the Inauguration of the new
president. Lake Shore attracted attention in
todays market again, with a jump of IL
points to 1917. 1t reacted TO 161 but at the
close there was bid for the stock 1925. while
l65 was asked. Sugar, St Paul, Omaha and
Tennessee Coal & Iron enjoyed the principal
Sans In the active list, and ended with an
advantage of a point each over yesterdays
close. New Jersey Central was conspicuously
weak and fell l per cent in the early hour,
but the other coalers held fairly steady The
market closed active and strong. with prices
at about the best
The total sales of stocks today were sc, 900
shares. including Tobacco, 3,4O0; Sugar, a.

MINI EAP0LlS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 27.-The wheat mar
ket opened very quiet this morning and mac
tivity was the chief feature of the entire SEES
sion. The news of the day was rather mea-
ger, speculative markets being very quiet at
all centers in this country. Crop damage re-
ports were much in evidence, with but little
attention paid to them, for the reason that
the most of the news is purely guesswork
for the present. OF course the weather is not
favorable to the growing crop where the fields
are bare and possibly damage may be done
but it is too early to buy or sell on bare ru-
mors of damage.

HE PROTESTED INNOCENCE
Jack Burns Was With the Thief but
Knew Him Not

The defense had not very great deal
to say in favor Of Jack Burns connection
with the robbery Of Walter McStay's 5
gold watch and diamond ring in the no.
torious 400" saloon on Main street.
Burns was with his companion, Toll
man, at the time the robbery must have
been committed, and it is a matter in
evidence that prosecuting witness, af-
ter having drinks with a couple of girls
and two men. came and sat down with
Burns and Tollman an dput his feet ir
the latter's lap and went to sleep. Burns
also conceded he went with Tollman
when the articles of jewelry were
pawned, but he strenuously maintained
yesterday that he had no idea that they
had been stolen, albeit he helped to
spend the proceeds
The case was given to the jury by
Judge Smith yesterday five minutes be-

about o'clock verdict of guilty was
brought in.

of the defendants Henshaw and Gra-
ham of ever having held up Duck Sings
camp at Azusa.
The defense put up very good alibi
for the men on the day the crime was
committed up to o'clock at night. From
that hour until the morning, however,
the Whereabouts Of the two men was
testified to by no witness for the defense
save the defendants themselves. Thew
stated that at about 9 o'clock thew re-.

finding the gates closed, climbed the
fence and went to sleep with their
heads under their wagon. The Jury was
charged and retired at o'clock and were
out five hours, returning into court at ID
