OAKTOWN FOLK
ARRESTED HERE
Girl, 10, With Man, 80, Taken
by Women Police at Union
Station.

Oslo Dale, 10, and Steve Gentry, 80,
both of Oaktown, were arrested by two
women police at the Union Depot last
night on charges of vagrancy. The po-
lice had received information that the
man and young girl had started for In
dianapOlis on different trains and were
expected to meet in this city.
Gentry was released on a $500 bond
signed by Louis Brown, professional
bondsman, who is a supporter of the
News -Jewett machine and who receives
special privileges not granted to all pro-
fessional bondsmen at police headquar-
tiers. Brown is the man depended upon
by the good government political ma
chine" to line up the west end foreign
ers for the News-J ewett candidate.
Miss Dale was released on a $500 bond
signed by Ruth Virgins, a relative OF
Brown, whose name appears on many
bonds at the turkeys office. Judge Wal
ter Pritchard some time ago issued an
order that only one, persons bond could
be signed by a professional bondsman at
one time, but whenever Brown signs one
bond, and therefore is not eligible under
the courts order to sign another, on the
other bond the name Of Ruth Virgins
generally appears as surety.

During the first few minutes of the
trade today there was Just a little I'M
certainty as to the market. A fairly good
volume of buying orders was followed by
the offering of stocks by the professional
element, but 1t soon became manifest
to them that the commission house de-
mand for stocks had not been satisfied
Buying orders again appeared. and the
execution of these orders in competition
with shorts started the market upward
and some new highs were soon estab-
lished.
Later on, some aggressive selling de-
veloped in Mexican Petroleum and At
lantic Gulf.
From appearances, it looked as though
this move was calculated to permit of
short covering in other stocks, but APP
parently this was not very successful.
The general market held well, and many
specialties continued to move forward
into new high ground, Kelly Springfield
and COsden Oil being the new leaders.
Studebaker established a new high, but
the trading here was irregular, disclos-
ing considerable profit taking
A notable feature Of the day was the
strength Of the equipment stocks.
OF greatest significance is the gradual
broadening Of the market. New issues
are gradually being added to the active
list, the public interest is on the in
crease, and a feeling of greater conf
dence prevails, which should increase as
the market moves forward.
Nothing succeeds like success and the
broadening and advancing tendency in
the stock market helps to create conf
dence in other lines Of business.
