From Bridge

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Max Rubins. 9
year old schoolboy, was rescued in
spectacular fashion yesterday,
when he became marooned on a
floating cake of ice in the drainage
canal here and was being carried
along with the current to probable
death.
The boy had walked far out on
the ice in an attempt, it was said,
to brighten smaller children who
were watching him. The ice on
which he was standing broke of.
Emergency calls for police and fire
men were turned in, but no one
was able to reach the boy until fl
nally several men, Selling rope,
ran along the bank to bridge. As
the boy was carried beneath the
bridge. the men lowered the rope.
He chung to it and was hauled to
safety.

ASKS HANGING
IN BURCH CASE
States Attorney Demands Extreme
Penalty; Flags Madalynne for
Part in Tragedy.

Los Angeles, Cal. Jan. 10.-"The
extreme penalty -hanging-was
asked OF the jury in the murder
trial of Arthur c. Burch by Asa
Keyes, assistant district attorney,
who opened the arguments for the
state late yesterday and who was
expected to continue them today.
Reviewing the evidence offered
by the prosecution. Mr.. Keyes de-
clared the lives of four persons =
Burch, Mrs. Madelynne c. Oben-

Obenchain, her former husband and
present attorney, and J. Bolton
Kennedy, the young insurance bro
ker Burch and Mrs. Obenchain are
alleged to have murdered-were in

to the trial.
When Kennedy was killed." Mr..
Keyes said, Mrs. Obenchain had
not only Kennedy dancing attend
ance upon her, but Burch and
Obenchain also. She made a fool
of the man she had sworn to love,
honor and obey. She made a
corpse of the man she had pro-
fessed to love. She made a muir
derer of Burch."
Arguments are expected to con-
tinue three or four days.

VICTORY LOAN
BONDS REACH
HIGH RECORD

New York, Jan. 10.-For the first
time since the summer Of 1898 call
mans were renewed on the stock
exchange at 81. per cent. while in
time money most of the business
was done at AZ per cent. Some
few liens as low as411.
II is scarcely open to doubt that
This foreshadows another cut in
federal reserve rates, and it would
mot be surprising in such action
we're taken at least for the banks
NJ the eastern section at their meet
ing this week AS has been the
case right along, the only reaction
TO these proofs of a super-abund-
ant money supply came in the bond
market. The Victory loan bonds,
roth 3%s and AIS, sold at a new
high record. Liberty third and
fourth AIS reached higher figures
than any touched since the turn
came last June. These gains were
accompanied by a generally higher
tendency in the rest of the bond
list. On the stock exchange it was
another very uninteresting day.
Traders continued to work for low
or prices and were able to uncover
vulnerable spots here and through
out the weakness in these special
issues kept other things more or
less unsettled with an appearance
of heaviness at times. But there
was no important selling in any
quarter and a large number of
stocks held remarkably firm.
The advance in the foreign ex-
changes was resumed and sterling
and francs both drew close to their
December high. On the other hand,
German marks did not move sym
pathetically as they did yesterday.
This does not necessarily mean
that the modification of PREPARATIONS
payments is not an important fac
tor In the market, but merely that
whatever relief is in store for Ger
man finances through a less rigor-
GUS enforcement of the indemnity
claims is for the moment overshad-
owed by the continued terrific out
pour of new paper currency. The
real turn in mark exchange can
hardly come until Germany knows
Just how much and When she has
TO pay and makes a sufficient al
lowance in her budget for the credit
and debit side to balance. When
this stage is reached the desperate
expedient of expanding an already
fearfully inflated note circulation
need no longer be resorted to. 1t
will not be until defiation of paper
money begins that much of an ad-
vance in marks may be looked for.
A more hopeful view was taken
of the Fries financial affairs al
though it could scarcely be said
that the official statement regard
ing the $4,000 900 which falls due
in April was entirely reassuring.
In the general list the only activi-
ty at all was in the first hour when
the traders were driving down u
few of the specialties. From then
on. the market drifted along in the
dullest session seen in months.
Some weakness came into Crucible
Steel in the last hour but in the
majority of instances where de-
clines occurred, the declines werc
trifling.

portant There was little or no
outside business but the market
was more than ever in the hands of
the professional element. Prices
followed a very irregular and I'M
certain course. Stocks that were
strong included Goodyear Tires
among the industrial and Philippine

selling in the Bankers Shares.

point early in the day but rallied
later. Other oils such as Simms'
Petroleum, Anglo-American, Ar
kansas Gas and Maraeaibo were
heavy in sympthy with the oils Sc

New York, jan 10.-There was
little buying in the cloth markets
today, but signs of an early revival
of the bleached goods business are
seen in the inquiries received by
mail. Hopes of lower prices are
dim owing to the steadiness of the
gray goods divisions. Print cloth
prices were slightly easier, but
there was little demand and bust
ness was also quiet in the sheet
ings market. Orders for Uashua
blankets for next fall are coming
in in a steady stream as the result
of prices announced at old levels,
although an advance had been ex-
pected by jobbers.

cRUCIBLE STEEL

The mystery always surrounding
the Cructble Steel situation has
deepened as the. result of recent
market Developments. While the
common stock has come down little
during the last week or so, and has
not had much more reaction than
other steel shares, the preferred
has broken very badly. From 81.
where 1t sold, a month and a half
ago, it is down over 10 points. The
fact that no other preferred stock
has had anything like such a de-
cline-most OF the better class pre-
ferred issues are, in fact. well up
To their high even noW-indicates
some special cause at work. II
the condition in the Crucible Steel
company is uncertain enough to
warrant the Z per cent preferred
selling around so, where the return
Is nearly 8 per cent, and this in a
market where sound preferred in
dustrials are selling on a 6 to 614
per cent basis, then how explain
Crucible Steel common in the COS,
either the preferred is much too
low or the common is much too
nigh. Undoubtedly one reason for
the company high selling price of
the junior shares is that they are
so very closely held. The street
has always believed that the stock
was sustained because the big hold
ers could not unload even should
they wish to. Referring back to
the last annual report there is an
obvious discrepancy between the
income account which showed divi-
dends on both classes of stock
earned and the balance sheet which
showed decrease from $29 81 900
to $26,467 900 in the profit and loss
surplus The Crucible president
went on record with an assurance
to shareholders-this as late as No
vember-that the company was
never as well off in its history.
