Confidence Men Got
Gus DemaS Bank Roll

This is story of misplaced conf
dence in which Gus Demas, Greek
bootblack, playing the leading as well
us the losing part.
According to Demas, Greek met him
accidentally on the street yesterday and
with fearful eyes toll him of $4,000
that had been left to a young Greek
in the city who was supposed to be
working as bootblack. The stranger
said that the money bad been left by
a man who had wronged Demas' father
years ago.
While talking with the stranger, a
third Greek appeared who vouchsafed
for the $4,000 story and showed that
he had money by going to bank and
returning with a big roll of equal
amount.
Just as matter of good faith, De
mas was asked to show that he had some
money and with the strangers went to
the U. S. bank and checked out his ac-
count, amounting to $3.50. This was put
in box supposed to contain the $4,000
left to Demas and the $4,000 supposed
to have been drawn from the bank by
ont of the strangers.
BY this time, the three had walked
to a point on South High street near
the Fry residence. Here the transfer
was to be made when according to De
mas, one of the men produced hand
kerchief and a minute later Demas be-
came dazen. He was instructed to 90
to his room with the box and wait the
arrival of his newly made friends. AZ
ter waiting a time, he became suspicious
and on opening the box found only an
old newspaper.
The loss was at once reported to the
police who this afternoon report no
trace of the confidence men. Warrants
have been sworn out for their arrest
This is the end of the first chapter Of
misplaced confidence.

Prices Shaded Lower
But Market Was LiveIy

New York, Aug. 2.-The New York
Tvening Sun financial review today
said:
Professional pressure against prices
in today's trading carried the greater
number of prominent issues 20 tower
levels, the selling, however, faiiing to
bring about an active market or to
attract liquidation from substantial
quarters.
Following an irregular opening in
whicn price changes as a rule were con
fined to small fractions the greater
number of issues in the early trading
moved slowly in the direction OF The
lower levels.
Railroad stocks showed fair degree
of life in the first hour under the lead
ership of Union Pacific. Talk again
was heard in the street of the prcbab-
ility of the declaration of an extra
dividend on this issue.
In the early afternoon sentiment on
the floor turned decidedly bearisn and
pressure was eXerted in most parts of
the list, however, without bringing
out stock in any volume. Further loss
es were recorded by the stocks which
were the weakest in the initial trans
actions, including Industrial Alcehol
Maxwell Motors and Willys-Overlanl,
the latter showing decline of upward
of four points from Wednesday, s clos
ing.
Although the rails were not sold On
strike talk, the dullness in the group as
a whole reflected the labor situation,
while the poor weekly government re.
port of weather conditions in the great
agricultural sections of the country con
tributed both to the general absence
of interest in the dealings and 10 the
bearishness among traders
