Poll Review

The Man. From Lost River Is the
picture showing at Polls for the first
three days of this week. This picture
will be enjoyed by theatregoers since
it is different than the usual run of
the present-day offerings. The nat
ura1 scenery among the tall timbers
of the West is picturesque. The pic
ture is enacted in a lumber camp.
The foreman of the camp IS a brutal
sort of fellow and SCOTS at the young
FASTENER who has so recently come
to camp.
The polished manner OF the East
erner Immediately gains the admira-
ton of the only girl in camp and a
companionship follows which ulti-
mately leads to marriage. Then the
true man is brought out in both men.
The husband proves that ne is not
big enough to carry out the contrac ct
he made when he married. the fore
man shows his true worth and that
he is real man. This picture IS
truly one of merit.

Investigated
By Coroner

Although but 1913 days of the pres
year have passed, Coroner John ].
Phelan has investigated to date about
211 cases in Fairfield County which
have come before his jurisdiction for
report. Many of these have not war
ranted an investigation as to the cause
of death and required only a report
to that effect. The majority of the cas-
es however have required investiga ton
to as certain whether death was
caused by reason of the criminal &C
persons.
OF the total numebr of reports
made by the Coroner thus far $50
show that death was caused by no rea
son OF criminal action. Four imni-
mont death inquiries have been made,
five cases find that criminal action
probably caused death, one case is
left with the cause undetermined and
another the case of Hyman Seratoff

Motor stocks for some time have
ceased to move as group. Chan
dler Motors below sixtyf has I'M
doubtedly been well bought by peo-
pie who have faith in the assurance
from inside quarters that the divi-
dend is safe. This sort Of buying
occurring in a market where there
is large short interest, has kept
Chandler steady despite the drop
in Studebaker and the special
weakness in the Pierce Arrow
stocks. The pressure against
Studebaker has been very persist
ent and was one of the features of
the market again today.
LEHIGH VALLEY.
With Norfolk and western and
Pennsylvania setting the pace as
regards dividend disbursements the
feeling is more than ever pro-
nounced that the Lehigh Valley d.
rectors at their meeting within the
next six weeks will do something
more for the stockholders. This
something more, as the financial
district has had 1t all along, would
be an increase in the regular rate
from s. to IS per share.
VAN RAALTE.
One Of the newcomers on the
stock exchange today was the
stock Of the Van Raalte company
incorporated. This company is in
the same line of business as Julius
Kayser and MalIinson but without
the large capitalization Of its two
competitors. There were listed
eight thousand shares of stock OF
no par value. Earnings of the
company are reported In excess o.
$50 share.

but did not modest it. There were
four men at the house at the time
the investigation was made.
Decorating the corners of the
front room were guns standing
against the wall. Marshal Murray
said that the place did not seem
nearly so heavily armed as it was
yesterday when he and his men
made a search there. Two vicious
dogs which were tied to post on
the front porch were also missing
this morning.
Marshal Murray and his men
were guided about the house by
the negro youth who answered
the door call. The youth said that
he had just arrived at the house
a few minutes before and did not
know who was there besides the
man with whom he was playing
cards.
Following the search of the up
per floors inspection of the garage
was made. Nothing was found
there. Special investigation was
made of the floor and the side
walls for any trap doors or tun-
nels leading out of the residence.
Marshal Murray said upon leav-
ing the place that he did not believe
that he would search the Looney
property any further and that he
was convinced that Looney was not
in hiding in this vicinity.
Mr.. Murray is of the opinion that
Looney will furnish bonds at the
place where he has fled in a few
DAYS, Or that he will go directly
before the lower courts and pre-
sent his bond. MIR. Murray ex-
pressed doubt as to Looney return
ing to Rock Island to furnish the
bond.
Pedigo told Marshal Murray that
in the event that Looney would re-
turn he would have him inform the
marshal.

Curb Market
BY WILLIAM G. HEFFERNAN.
(Copyright. 1929;

New York, Oct. 26.-Professional
operators continued their attacks
on stocks on the curb exchange to-
day and although the declines were
not as sharp as on Wednesday,
lower prices were brought about
in many issues. Announcement of
reduction Of IL cents a gallon in
gasoline prices by several leading
oil companies was responsible, to
some extent, for the weakness in
the leading oil shares. Imperial
Oil of Canada, Prairie Oil and Gas,
Anglo American and International
Petroleum were among the Stand
ard issues that continued to be sold
and Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania and
Southern States Oil were under
particular pressure among the in
dependent oils. No effect was pro-
duced by the announcement of the
bringing in of two new wells by the
latter company with an aggregate
flow of 800 barrels of oil a day.
Resolutions have been adopted
by the board of directors of Borne
and Scrymser to declare 400 per
cent stock dividend and to increase
the capital stock from s200,O00 to
s., 000, 900 of 500 par value.
A stockholders meeting has been
called for Nov. %. The company
does not issue an income account
or a statement of its financial con-
dition. But it is understood prof
its nave averaged about: 80 per cent
since May Is, 1911, on the capital
stock. On April Is of the present
year Borne and Scrymser declared
an extra dividend of SIS a share to
stockholders Of record March 8,

day, 460 bid, offered at 4S5.

four points at one time, but Phil

the previous day. Universal Leaf
Tobacco preferred declined half

Razor lost two points in the early
trading but regained this loss in the
afternoon. New York Telephone
