sTOCKS SHOW
STRENGTH AS

BY STUART P. WEST.

UaIl Street, New York, Feb. 20.
the week closed with another
.sueraIly strong market. a prompt
,.soyery Of yesterdays decline in

vance in cotton. OF these move
-snts that on the stock exchange
Tas the most interesting. New
sights for the year were reached
ri through the low priced railway
vroup. In some of the motors and
n one or two OF the equipments.
T,omestic oil stocks again reflected
ne belief that there would be no
further price cutting in the oil
trade. When the seasonal spring
Increase in the demand for gaso-
Iina and the increased use Of fuel
al as general business RECEIVERS,
begins to be felt. an advance in oil
urices is likely to follow.
There was nothing new in con-
uection with the operations in the
iunior rails. For the most part
these movements are highly specu-
Iatiye, but they have a reasonable
foundation in a number of in
stances in the favorable showing
made in the surplus applicable to
the stock, in the 1921 reports. If
continued, this will lead eventually
to the beginning of dividends, where
now there is no distribution. 1t is
this long range calculation which
underlies the present buying.
The recovery in sterling exchange
was quite striking. At a single
bound it carried rates back to theIr
previous high of Thursday $4.41A
This demonstrated the correctness
OF the view that yesterdays reac-
ton was of no consequence what
ever, and merely reflected passing
realizing sales. Wheat started III
lower, but the great strength of the
position in the grain trade was
again established in the way this
decline was quickly retracted and
the advance resumed.

There has been heavy short sell

notion that the company will make
very little money this year and may
have some trouble paying divi-

LIGHT RUNS IN
ALL LIVESTOCK
ARE REPORTED
tBy Consolidated Press. ,

tBy Consolidated Press.
U. ). Yards, Chicago, Feb. 25.-
Light runs were reported today.
Few good cattle and lambs were in
the pens. and the trade was of lit
tie account. Considering the fact
tnat top hogs sold below 500 in
december, country feeders have
good reasons to be satisfied with
present conditions. Cattle trade
was little uneven during the pres
ent week. but values closed higher
for the period. Receipts today were
estimated at 1000 cattle; 1000
hogs; 5000 sheep and lambs and
200 calves.
Cattle.
With light supply of cattle the
trade was of little account today.
Most steers closed 1O@25c higher
than a week ago. white cows were
strong in comparison. Gamers
held about steady during the per-
lod, while bologna bulls sold at
$3.50 and were up 2505Oc. Pack
ers paid $11,00@11.50 for good veal
ers at the close, the trade beinfi soc
higher than q week ago.
Hogs.
Hog trade was 10000 higher to-
day, some sorted light animals GO
ing at $11.10 making the high point
for the week and also for the year.
Few packing hogs sold below $500
and sellers were able to clear the
pens well.
Sheep.
Supply was light. Some shorn
ewes went to the scales at S7.75,
which was steady, but no good
lambs were offered. Killing lambs
closed 50075c higher for the week,
with the best quoted at $16.25, while
aged muttons showed a similar
gain.

BANDITS ARE LOST
No Trace Found of Two Who
Looted Bank, Stole Cashier.
Official of Pawhuska Institution
Kidnapped by Men.

Bartlesville. Okla, June I'D. r.
Han. cashier of the Elgin State bank
at Elgin. was liberated early today
on Il lonely road three miles south OF
Okesa. Okla, after being for more
than twelve hours the prisoner of two
men who yesterday held up the Elgin
bank and forced him to accompany
them in their dash for safety with
$500 in cash and an undetermined
amount of liberty bonds.
Hall walked to Okesa and tele-
phoned here Hall was not harmed
by his abductors, he told local author
ties.
Pawhuska, Okla, June 17.-Nu
trace bad been found early today of
two bandits who yesterday held up the
Elgin State bank at Elgin. across the
Kansas line, abducted D. r. Hall,
cashier, and escaped into Oklahoma in
a motor car.
The robbers obtained about $500
in cash and an unestimated amount of
liberty bonds.
Anxiety was felt here for the safety
of Hall. He was last seen in the ban
dit car when a posse attempted to en-
gage the fugitives between Bartles-
vile and Pawhuska. The bandits
opened fire on the posse, but the fire
was not returned for fear of hitting
Hall. Some distance from that point
the bandits abandoned their car. 1t
was later found by the posse but there
was no trace of Hall.

MAY NOT STRIKE SURE TO AGREE?
Clerks, Freight Handlers and
Station Employees May Accept.
vi. A. Moore of Clerks Union
Not Sure of Outcome.

If there is any organization bound
to accept wage slash made by the
United States labor board and not go
on strike. it is the clerks. freight han
dlers. station and storehouse employees.
it was said at the Santa Fe general
offices today. A portion of the agree
ment with that class, it was pointed
out, is subject to change by the board.
Somewhat contrary, however, is the
statement of M A. Moore, chairman
of the clerks union, who says that
only d minor part of the agreement
IS subject to change by the labor
board without a hearing from both
sides, and that the clerks can strike
if they want to. The reduction order
coming late, however, will make il i'm
possible for the clerks to take part
in a general election called by the
heads Of the department, Moore says,
and il they decide to vote on the mat
ter it will be up to the employees of
each individual railroad to act inde-
pendently.
There will be no strike vote called
for by the chief executives said
Moore, because there isn't sufficient
time to get the ballot out and returned
by July 1. If a vote is taken. it will
be done by tho employees of each road
separately and not on account of a
general call. The reduction order was
not issued until yesterday and until we
get a complete copy of the order, I am
unable to say what action will be
taken"
Vote in Favor of Strike.
Members of the various shopcrafts
in Topeka are voting practically unani-
nous in favor of strike in protest of
the labor boards recent decisions cut
ting their wages. In several instances,
however. it is said the men were will
ing to accept the cut but are voting
to strike because they felt that the
labor board was acting unfairly in re-
ducing the wages of part of the rail-
way employees and eXempting others.
Much criticism is heard because the
labor board has taken no action against
the big four.
Voting among the local shopcrafts
has not yet been finished. but so far
the members are in for calling a
Strike. The blacksmiths voted to a
man in favor of a strike. The carmen
held their first election Wednesday
night. obtained some more votes Fri
day night and VIII meet again tonight
in an effort to hear from as many
members as possible. Admitting that
the vote will run from 90 to 95 per
say they propose to make a house to

House the Other VIII.

Washington, June 17.-Adoption by
the party conference of Republican
senators next Monday of a compro-
mise plan whereby tho soldiers bonus
bill would be given senate right of
way after disposal of the tariff meas
ure was regarded as assured today.
The plan was reported to have been
virtually agreed upon at conferences
held yesterday after informal can
vases of the Republican membership
had disclosed that a large majority
were prepared to stand with Presi-
dent Harding in favoring priority for
the tariff measure. American legion
representatives also are said to have
been consulted and to have given their
approval to the arrangement.
Democratic senators were said to be
prepared to make a fight of their own
to secure precedence for the bonus
measure.

Harding was assured by senate Re
publican leaders who called today at
the White House that the tariff bill
would be held before the senate until
passed.
Senator Watson. Republican. In
diana, one of the leaders who saw the
president, said he told Mr.. Harding
that it had been definitely determined
that the Republican state conference,
called for Monday, would vote to
continue with the tariff bill and
against laying aside the measure to
take UP bonus legislation.

VoiIand's entrance in the congress
sional race promises to cause a de-
cided disturbance in political affairs
His nomination and election will give
to Topeka both United States senators
and the district congressman An
nouncement of his candidacy was
made by Voiland following a weeks
'feeler" campaign. He will issue
personal platform next week.
1t is apparent this afternoon that
the VOiland campaign is quite certain
to bring about more positive defini-
tiOn of factiOnal lines in the RepubH-
can gubernatorial campaign. There is
a decided feeling in political circles
that the announcement will be used as
an opening wedge in trying to smoke
out the Kansas delegation in Wash
ington regarding the govern Orship.
Until this time mem bers of the delega-
tion have refused to take chips in the
fight to nominate Governor Aliens
successor.
Voiland stated that he proposed to
make an aggressive campaign. His
formal announcement was short

candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for representative from the First

In Business Here Since 1885.
Since 1885 Voiland has been en-
gagged in the mercantile business in
Topeka. He spent practically his en-
tire life here and attended Quincy
school when boy. He has for years
been active in civic affairs and is we'll
known in the state and district. In
1913 he served as a member of the
legislature from the North Topeka
district. That has been his only pub
lie office.
In his fight for a place on the con-
gressional delegation Voiiand will op-
pose one of the strongest and most
able members from Kansas. Chair
man Anthony is chairman of the
| house military committee and because
of his fifteen years Of service and ac-
tivity in congressional affairs holds a
position which compares favora bly,
