Moore Boy May Have
 Joined Army or Navy

Tine possibility that Kenneth Moore might have left home and joined the army or navy is the latest clue the police were working on today in ,attempt to locate the High school junior who has been missing since week ago Wednesday when he left the local High school and failed to E1cturn to lis home in the afternoon as; was his USlGl custom.
 According to the physical measure Jncnts in the hands of the Bureau oi Missing Persons who .2-e working Cr the case young Moore could qualify in either branch of the service. Let 1ers were mailed to the army and navy cGiciaE: this morning by tAa F<o- 1ICc in an effort to locate the boy through this st''l.'cH. Another letter was ser7t to Chief l.cSpccioc Michael Jcahy of the New Yui;: police today, 1o ask the assistance cf his depart" 1aert in kce:ins tabs on flIe taeat- Tical agencies in New York. Moore gained quite a reputation in a-nl1tfsur T ,1heI:ricals whi1e in High school and i, is thought his ambition in tl;at line 1liighf t.u.e led iiiIr. to New York to secure q stage job or Q chance in the JDoviCS.

Bank Credits
 Are Den:ed To Pre-WarP Prices
Mercantile Inventories of Goods Figured at New Prices Accepted, But Loans Are Not Made Where Commodities Are Estimated Upon Old War Price Basis.

> A wide circulated rumor abroad today asserted that for the sake of procuring a reduc- ton in commodity prices the banks of Bridgeport have been restricting, or cutting off, the credit of mercantile houses.
 The question was put sharply and fairly to one of the representative banking men of Bridgeport.
 He said: "It is not true that we are restricting mercantile credits for the purpose of reducing prices. This policy has been adopted: When a merchant desires credit and brings in his inventory we give him all the credit that we can if his statement shows that he is carrying the goods which constitute his assets at the new prices, which are lower prices.
 Many of our merchants are stock ed up with new goods bought in a declining market. Others are over stocked with goods which were
 ought at the old high prices. In such cases credit is not being extend ed. Goods listed at the old prices are not sound basis for credit, because they are not worth the old prices.
 'The effect of this policy may be 10 cause a reduction in prices, but the purpose, nevertheless, is to promote sound banking and furnish credm upon approved financial principles

100 DEATHS, GETS
 SEVEN YEARS

New York, Nov. 26.-John Roma neIli. Brooklyn undertaken, found guilty last week of having distributed wood alcohol through New York, Mas sachusetts and Connectict, which is said to have caused more than 1OV deaths just a yea rago, was sentenced today to from three to seven years in Sing Sing.
 Legal loopho1es saved Romanelf from being tried for murder. He was indicted on a charge of first degree murder in Massa achusetts. Then law was discovered which prevented hi extradition from New Yorkk because he was in his state when the crime was committed in another.
 The United States district attorneys, both here and in Massachusetts thereupon took the case before the grand jury, only to find that indict- nrents in two jurisdiction at the same time had the effect of inva1idating both.
 RomaneIli then was prosecuted on a charge of grand larceny on the ground that he had been instrumental in the removal of forty drums of wood al coho1, consigned to Hull, England, from the pier to his garage where the drums weEe emptied and reflled with water. " RomanelH confessed and implicated six others, thereby gaining clemency. The maximum sentence would have been from five to ten years.
 Justice Kapper, after announcing this, added:
 'I believe, however, that were it not for this mans activities, this awful catastrophe would not have oc cured and those 100 persons would be alive today. He has 13 chil- dren.
