 In the list returned by the apprais- CTS are g parcels of stocks marked worthless. These securities have a par value amounting to many thous- andS of dollars.

 Recently Occurred in Which Motor Vehicles Have Figured-Lght Fhe for Wilcox.

The police, alarmed by the number Of automobile accidents recently oc- curing in the city and it's vicinity. have determined to suppress speed ing, or at least to compel autoists to conform to the section of the statutes which forbids them to drive faster than 25 miles an hour
 Yesterday afternoon 20 traps were established. In as many portions of the city an eighth of a. mile of road has been marked off and measured. Not all of these traps are manned at one time. The police will rather pass from one to another trap, as seems best to meet the course of auto trav- el. By this method they hope to ad- minister a lesson to autoistS comin g into the city from any direction and they will prevent a knowledge of the whereabouts of the police from be- coming generally known.
 When a trip is in use patrolman will be stationed at either end of it with a stop watch. Any driver who does the eighth in less than IS sec onds will be arrested.
 The first victim was Haword Will cox, an employe of <fhe Locomobile Company of America, who was taken in one of the traps on Connecticut avenue, at o'clock yesterday after noon, by the squad commanded by Sergt. Phil Blansf1eld. The arrest was made by Patrolmen Coughlin and Wheeler. Wilcox was fined g with out costs.

Kodol is the stomach's ever ready assistant - anxious and able to help prepare food, and make strength and vigor for the body Every tablespoonful will digest 2A pounds of food. If your stomach is experiencing any difficulty at all in the correct performance of it's daily task-try 8 few doses of Kodol. You will then know just what Kodol is for and what it will do. Our guarantee Get dollar bottle of Kodol If you are not benefited-the druggist will at once return your money. Don't hesi- tate; any druggist will sell you Kodol on these terms. The dollar bottle contains 21z times as much as the soc bottle. Kodol is prepared in the lab oratories of E. C. Dewitt & O.. Chi e2So.

POLICE ExToRTloN.
Charge of Graft Brought Against Two
 Members of Bridgeport Force.

At Bridgeport two special police men, Allison H. Sanford and Frank Loperei, will have to appear before the board of police commissioners at it's next meeting to answer to the charge of extorting money from the St. Joseph Hungarian society at the dance on the evening of the 18th inst. The charges were preferred against them by Superintendent Birmingham and were supplemented by statements from Lieut.. John H. Redgate of the Third precinct station. The report stated that the two officers went to the dance given by the society and demanded 8 each from the officers of the society, or they would close the hall.
 The officers of the dance went to MT. Cigler, who told the officers that they could not close the hall, as the society had a permit from the head of the police department to have the dance. But one of the specials was given $3, one-half of which was to be given to his companion.
 The matter was later reported to the Third precinct station, and it was investigated, with the result that charges were preferred.
 The two men will be instructed to appear before the meeting on the 18th tc answer the charges.
