James and his crimson riders, the
Dalton gang and the Youngers and
many lesser lights of post Civil war
banditry apparently is experiencing
a backwash of criminality following
another great war.
History, in the "show me" state,
seems to be repeating itself. lmi-
tators of the famous bandits of his
tory again ride the roads and hills
staging train robberies and bank
hold-ups in all the old-time flare
and glory, except that the swift
footed horse has given way to the
speeding automobile. This is their
sole concession to the twentieth
century. All the rest OF the old re-
gala of the historic outlaws is
present-the 'six-gun," the mask,
the stealthy gathering of the gang,
the pulling of the Job and the
getaway, behind screen of bla2-
ing guns when necessary, just as
their originals used to shoot them
selves to safety.

On some occasions even the stage
setting is the same. Recently a
band of six swooped down upon

they pulled a bank robbery there

Not many days ago almost q
counterpart of the scene was enact

their way to safety, with $4,000 Of
the banks money grabbed from the

Wall Street Sees
 Clear Horizon
 For Coming Fall
By Associated Prcsu

New York, September s.-Wall Streets belief that moderate in- dustrial revival was in prospect for this fall, despite the handicaps inn posed by the miners and railroad shipments strike. found expression ih the steady rise in quoted values In the securities markets. Wednesdays rather sharp, reaction was regarded generally as being due to readjust- msnt of tho technical position. vir- tually all of the losses being recover ed and gains made in the next few days of trading.
 Traders no longer regard the shop mems strike as serious menace, passing their optimism in tho steady increase in car loadings and corre- spending decrease in idle cars and the apparent expansion in the earn inxs of tho first-class roads, which reported a net income for July of only one-tsnth. of one per cont less than last year, despite the heavy ex- penses incurred in labor troubles.
 Commodity prices appear to hays become more stabilized. Coal and steel prices are tending upward be- cause of strike conditions but dis patches from tho Iron and steel tAi- ters indicate that the higher prices are but temporary and influenced largely by the Increased cost of oper- ation due to tho high costs of fusl and scarcity of material. Grain and meat prices showed roactionary ) tendency, as did those of cotton which was considered a bit unusual h cf . h 1v utfr r- ply of the products in prospect.
 Skilled labor Scarce
 Eastern manufacturing centers re- port shortage of skilled labor while agricultural districts of the south and nor,nwest indicate that unskilleh laborers are in great demand for the movement of crops but the shortage Is considered a temporary one. Sea sontai falling off of automobile pro duction and building trades activity is expected to release thousands oi mon for other lines of work.
 Poetponement ot the German repa- rations problem to November has re- moved another ''crisis" which has had q depressing effect on foreign ex- change rates. The plan of Hugo Shines. German industrial baron, for the restoration of the devastated dis tricts of France. with German matc- rials has been favorably regarded in banking circles here and has been construed in some quarters as fore casting a downward revision of tho German separations payments.
 Foreign exchange rates sagged a bit in response to the heavy offering of demand sterling bills againsr grain and cotton shipments. Tho heavy increases in the note circula- ton of France and Germany. which totaled 672 100000 francs and 2s,Soo.- 000,000 marks, respectively. also was a contributing factor.
 Call money rates held fairly steady between 1 and Al per c~rt as com pared with . range of 3N to 5 per cent. the week before. More activity was noted in the time money and commercial paper, markets. with the rates inclined to firmness.

 CALLED BY SMITH

on every night Some offenders are located, others escape by threaten ing possible witnesses, and still other offenders appear before the court and get continuance8--we do not complain of the courts for in many cases continuances are proper.
