Badger Criminals and victims

tFfuhl INC fhIIdutIpuIa htCOIu-J
The peculiar form of robbery, for the commits
sion of which Recorder GOff Of New York yes
terday sentenced a convicted man TO nineteen
years imprisonment, rarely becomes a subject
of complaint in criminal court proceedings. Vie
tins of the badger game are usually chosen
with such skill and knowledge of human nature
that no legal reprisal need be feared In the
case in question the object OF larcenous attack
and blackmail had little money OF reputation at
stake, and resistance was undertaken without
much fear OF ulterior consequences. The exem-
plary punishment meted out to the offender viii
not serve deterrent, since detection and
conviction OF such crimes are rare; but it may
none the less encourage other unfortunates to
strike back hard when caught in a trap which
they themselves had helped to fashion

The stock market opened very strong
today with an average advance over the
close last night of quarter or more.
London was a good buyer of the Ameri-
cans at higher prices, and this, with the
steady influx OF buying orders in the COM
mission houses, kept prices up during the
morning hours even against heavy realiZ-
ing. AT twelve o'clock there was every
indication that the day and the year would
end with an advance in prices or at least
with very little recession. This. it will
be realized, is a most remarkable condi
tion of affairs, unprecedented in the his
tory of the New York Stock Exchange.
1t can only mean that there is to be a con-
tinuance of the boom in January. The
forecasts for the coming month will be
varied and most interesting. 1t seems to
be the best opinion that during the first
ten days of the month, at least, prices
will continue to advance, while the inter-
est and dividend payments are being alb
sorbed. Later the long looked for slump
may come. But people are even begin
ming to believe that the entire month may
be a bull month with little if any recess
sions. esA ~
Sugar was again remarkably active and
strong. In the first hour the price had ad-
vanced from La to 127, and the indications
were that it might go even higher during

undoubtedly helped the remainder Of the
