STOCK INVESTMENTS

One reason why people lose money
in stock speculation, is that outsid-
crs do not know the inside facts
about investments. People will be
told by some newspaper or broker,
that a certain stock is low and is
going to rise. Then buy on that tip,
but usually find out later that there
was a good reason for the stock being
low. Its business prospects were no
good, and the insiders were selling
out
The only time the outsider stands
any chance to win, is when he buys
sound and substantial stocks at a
time when the whole market is de-
pressed. If the thought and attcn-
ton which many people put into
stock speculation, were devoted to
studying out ways to make money in
their home surroundings, they would

Justice Ford Again
Assail.s Appellate
Divisions Practice
In Letter to Governor, He
Protests Redesignation of
Walter Smith, Charging
Assignment Favoritism

Justice John Ford, Of the Supreme
Court, yesterday renewed his attack on
the local Appellate Division for it's al
legged favoritism in assignments Of jus
tices to trial and special terms Of the
Supreme Court. Justice Ford's protest
tkis year, as was his criticism last De-
cember. was embodied in q letter to
Governor Miller.
This time Justice Ford seizes upon
the impending expiration Of the desig-
nation of Justice Walter Lloyd Smith,
Of Elmira, to voice his sentiments, and
asks Governor Miller not to rename
Justice Smith to the Appellate Divi-
sion. The letter to the Governor fol-
lows, In part:
Justice Walter Lloyd Smiths term
Of service on the Appellate Division,
expires next month. rs resident in
that department, as a justice of the
Supreme Court and as citizen, pro-
test against his redesignation.
"For five years he has been one Of
the seven justices empowered by the
Constitution and by statute to assign
justices of the Supreme Court to hold
trial and special terms of that court.
During all Of chat time he has dele
gated his duties to other justices by
permitting them to fix the times and
places for holding the trial and special
terms and to assign tho justices to hold
these terms. He has failed to partici-
pate in this work in any way, content
Ing himself with signing his name to
whatever scheme of assignments these
,ether justices had previously agreed
upon.
"This, submit, is so grave derelic-
tion of duty that it should debar him
from further service upon the Ap-
pellate Division. OF course, he is not
the only justice who has been guilty
Of this neglect Of duty. All Of the
three nonresident justices have uni
formly delegated their power to the
resident justices in like manner This
fact does not lessen Justice Smiths
personal responsibility.

tice of the upstate justices. 1t is

Boy Held After 2 Fires
Are Set Near Theater
Desire of Lad To Be ''In at the
Death" of the Flames Causes
His Detention

Fourteen year-old Louis Abranowitz
last night is said to have started two
fires on the top floor of the three-story
building at 214 East Fourteenth Street
FOR the excitement Of the thing. He
got his excitement all right and would
now have his liberty had not his curl
osity proved too much for him.
Fire on the top floor, which is un-
occupied, was discovered soon before
z o'clock. Firemen, upon reaching the
third floor, found that there were two
blazes, one at the foot Of an iron lad
der leading to the scuttle, and the
other beneath pile of wooden parti
tions which had been stored in the
loft. AS they were fighting the fire
figure was seen descending the ladder
from the roof 1t was Abranowitz.
When the tiremen had extinguished
the flames they turned their attention
to the boy. He first denied knowledge
of the cause of the blazes. He later
admitted, according to the police, that
he had started the two fires to get u
thrill, end that after the fires were
making headway and the flremen had
been called he found the temptation
to be actually on the scene too strong
TO resist.
\ He was turned over to the Children's
Society. Part of Keith,s Jefferson
