Gold Exports.

Too much Importance is being at
tached TO the gold shipments from this
country to India. according to inter-
national bankers. II is normal for In
dia to demand gold in settlement of
trade balances. The only unusual feat
ure OF the present movement is that
she is getting 1t here instead OF In
London. During and Immediately after
the war India was denied gold by va
rious embargoes and was given silver in
stead. With the political situation in
India somewhat quieter the up-country
communities are enjoying moro pros
perity and consequently there is n
greater demand on the markets OF Bonn
bay and Calcutta from the interios.
Indian bankers are buying gold instead
OF silver on the theory that the former
Is cheaper. Production of gold In the
Transvaal, which was curtailcd during
the Rand strike. is picking up again.
and India is likely to turn to her old
markets and II Is considered unlikely
that the gold movement from this coun-
try TO the Orient will assume large pro-
portions.

The Minnesota Steel Company, SUBJ
sidiary of the United States Steel Cor
poration, will start operations about the
middle OF June In its new rail mill, ac-
cording TO Duluth advices received here
yesterday. The mill Is of the most mod
ern construction, and having been COM
pleted in the period of deepest depres-
sion in the industry has not been in
operation. II is In a good position to
supply rails to the Northwestern Rail-
road, and as result OF the increased
demand for that product recently the
decision to open the mill has been made.

Katy to Sell Branch Lines

Bankers identified with the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas characterized yester-
day as premature reports from the
South that II had sold o 220 mile branch
line In Louisiana and Texas to William
Edenborn of the Louisiana Railway and
Nayigation Company for s30.00c,o00.
1t was stated that no sale had been con-
summated and that the figure named in
the dispatches was absurd in that rail-
way line In that section of the country
is not valued at more than $4,000 a
mile. The line referred TO was assumed
here to be the Sherman. Shreveport and
Southern, which defaulted Ave years ago
on approximately s1.500.oOo OF Its out
standing indebtedness. The failure OK
the Katy to include that branch road In
its recent reorganization points TO its
probable sale in the future.

restraining order when the matter
comes up before Judge Wilkerson in

President Harding and Attorney
General Daugherty were both on
record today as opposed to any en-
forcement of the injunction to the
point where il conflicts with the con-
stitutional guarantees of free speech
and the right Of paceful. lawful as.
semblage.
The sole object Of the injunction,
Attorney General Daugherty said,
was to prevent violence and disorder
and to prevent physical interference
with transportation. He took the
view today that the courts order
already has resulted in a marked
dimunition OF disorder. Appeals for
deputies have been fewer ince last
Friday than at any time since the
strike began, Daugherty said.
1t is the apparent policy OF the
Administration officials to disregard

steps are in contemplation against
those who have launched bitter YER
bal attack against the instrument.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Two
women and two men were under
arrest in Brooklyn today while the
police made a sweeping investiga-
ton Of the sale Of poisonous gin and
whiskey which killed five men and
two women and blinded another
man.
Two different raids were made in
Brooklyn. In the first Mrs. Irme-
linda Vitala. proprietress Of gro
cery store; her clerk, Michael CAT

In the second raid, which was led
in person by District Attorney Rus

They sold us poison for whiskey."
The dead woman proved to be
Mrs. Theresa Martin, Keenan's land
lady. Keenan, led the police to Mrs.
Vitala's grocery store, saying that
the whiskey had been purchased
there Labor Day. Later Keenan,
was taken to the Kings County
Hospital where he died from wood
alcohol poisoning.
When the policed rafded Mrs.
Vitala's store they said they found
seven 5-gallon cans Of liquor. three
demijohns. eleven quart bottles and
a 20.gallon keg.
The raid upon the home Of Mrs.

ION the other hand, the diminu.
ton in the railway repair forces
caused by the shopmen's strike,
and the employment Of less skilled
workers in their places as every
one knows, has caused bad order
conditions in many cars and loco
motives, and in spite of the con-
stantly increasing number OF re-
pairmen being employed by the
railroads bad order cars and loco
motives are accumlating through
natural causes. The condition will
continue throughout the early fu-
ture because the railroads cannot
secure repair workers sufficient In
numbers and efficiency completely
to perform normal repair services.
Defective Stock Used.

SocoIow, Sought for Staying
and Theft, Slips Through
Barricade on Pike.

Receiving a Flash" at 9 o'clock
this morning that "Noisy" Socolow,
wanted in the fatal Hicks, Ta3e &
Norris Company payroll hold-up in
baltimore, had escaped in a high
powered automobile from a motor
cycle officer Of the Maryland State
police, detectives from the Central
office sped out to the Baltimore
Washington boulevard to intercept
the fugitive bandit.
Reaching Laurel, the Washington
detectives, who included Arthur b.
Scrivener, Edward J. Kelly and Rob-
ert A. Livingston, learned that the
machine, supposed to be carrying
Socolow, turned off toward Mari:
boro.
Several days ago Inspector Clifford
l.. Grant, chief Of detectives, who
dispatched the Central office men In
the search for the fugitive machine,
learned that 5ocolow and Joseph
Hart, the other man also sought in
connection with the payroll job, was
in the vicinity Of Hughesyille, but
search In that vicinity failed to turn
UP the much sought bandits over
whose heads there stands a reward
of several thousand dollars.
When last seen, the automobile,
said to contain the man held chief
ly responsible for the murder Of
Paymaster William I. Norris q
month ago, turned off the Baltimore
Washington pike in direction Of
Hughesvilie and Marlboro.
As soon as their quarry had
escaped, Baltimore sleuths whose
search for the notorious gunman
has proved fruitless, apprised Clif.
ford L. Grant, Washington detec.
tive inspector, that Socolow was
headed this way. Two minutes
later, a headquarters automobile,
loaded with officers armed to the
teeth was tearing down Pennsyl.
vania avenue, bound for the
Bladensburg road.
