Russian News Cheers
and Stocks Feel Effects

New York, May 16.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Several elements in the Russian sit
uatiOn were of nature today to instill
confidence and cheer throughout the
rank and file of Wall Street and i'm
proved sentiment was directly reflect
ed in general advance Of prices on
the stock exchange, with particular
strength in the steel and equipment is
sues, 1t also found reflection in the
state of the bond market, which was
but moderately active, it is true, but
inquiries were more numerous and less
pessimistic talk was heard.
The basis for this better feeling was
found in the loan of $l00,000,000 to
Russia by this government.
There was little else in the day S
developments to affect the course of
securities prices materially. The steel
stocks were the leaders without ques-
tiOn. United States Steel sold above 1870
Superior Steel, a new conner on the big
board, gained over six points, Bethle-
hem Steel issues were up | to 2 points
and similar gains were recorded else
where in the group. The demand for
railroad equipment is scarcely less re-
markable, particularly from abroad.
American Locomotive and Baldwin re-
sponded with advances of nearly two
points. The copper shares were firm
and quiet.

WARRANT IS ISSUED
ARREST Of SALESMAN
Claim That He Carried Away
Fixtures That He Did
Not Own
From Mondays Daily.

from Mondays Odllys
What appears to have been the UNI
usual zeal on the part or d travelling
salesman for a certain packing house
to collect bill for his house in Man
kato is understood to have resulted
in the issuance of a warrant for that
travelling man on the charge of grand
larceny.
A certain meat market in Mankato
recently discontinued business, be-
cause expenditures were too heavy
for the receipts. 1t was managed by
the father of the real owner.
The concern was several months
behind in the payment of the rent
and the owner had sold the fixtures
to the owner of the building, thus
settling for the rent.
The father of the owner of the
market contracted to sell the perish
able stock in the store, worth about
$40, to the packing house that the
aforesaid Jealous travelling man rep
resented. 1t is reported that the trav-
cling man tried to get the father to
sell all of the fixtures to a certain
other meat market in Mankato for
1925, and thus get enough money to
pay off wholesale meat bill of $3.50
and have something left besides. The
father refused to do this, it is re-
ported. Besides, he claimed he did
not owe that meat concern $3.50, but
only $50. He might have said also
that he was not the actual owner OF
the retail meat store.
But it was arranged the other night
that the travelling man should be
given the perishable stock in the
market and apply it's value on the
account owed to his house. He re-
ceived the keys to the meat market
and was told to turn them over to the
meat market clerk, after taking out
the meat.
The story goes on to the effect that
the Jealous travelling man took out
not only the meat, but the fixtures OF
the store as well, and stored them in
q certain room that he had rented
from another meat market man of
Mankato.
It is said that warrant was issued
late Saturday for the jealous travel
ing man on the charge Of grand lar
ceny in the second degree. Interested
persons are awaiting developments.
The owner of the building is said
to have caused the issuance of the
warrant, claiming that he is the real
owner of the store fixtures, which
were unauthorizedly taken out of the
building, according to him.

Minneapolis, June 4.-Charles Die

VOTED LOWRY $10O A MONTH
Band Leader Will Move From Worth
ington to Mankato.


At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Mankato Commercial
club yesterday it was voted to allow
DR.. R. w. Lowry of Worthington, who
is being considered as the leader of
the proposed Second Regiment band,
salary of 800 a month, not to exceed
two months, to come to Mankato and
get the band in training. DIR. Lowry
was notified by telephone this morn
ing, and stated that he would arrive
in Mankato Monday, and would start
active work in organizing the band.
The committee thought that it was
very desirable to have DR.. Lowry here
to train the men for awhile before the
band is called out, and as large
number of applications are coming in
from musicians who wish to enlist in
the band, it is thought that there will
be no trouble in organizing a very
good Second Regiment band.
Mr.. Constable of Rushmore, who
has already enlisted, is familiar with
the grocery business, and would like
to secure position with some firm
in this city until the band is called
Anyone having an opening for him
should notify G. R. Holbrook or Sec

mercial club.

CLAIM THEY WERE STUNG
New Uim Men Said They Had GrieV
ance Against Pearl Dealer.

St. Paul, June 4-With a handful
of pearls displayed with the air of a
connoisseur, w. S. Sanderson at
tempted to recoup his finances Sat-
urday night after he had paid the
twenty-five dollars bail required
after he had been arrested at the re-
quest of the sheriff of Brown county.
He showed them to Desk Sergeant
Patrick Murnane and detectives at
police headquarters. But he went
away twenty-five dollars shy. None
of the officers felt that they needed
pearls for their personal adornment.
Sanderson, who makes his living
fishing for clam shells and finding
occasional pearls, was arrested as he
stepped off train at the Union depot
He had sold the same pile of clam
shells to two different men in New
Ulm, Mimi, for twenty-five dollars,
the sheriff reported in his wire to the
local officials.
