BONDS GO LOWER
AS STOCKS CRASH
Losses Not So Large Nor
Trading So Heavy in To-
days Brief Session.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 28.--As was to
have been expected after yesterdays
acute weakness in stocks the bond
market opened lower today as far
as the more speculative descriptions
were concerned. both in the railroads
and in the foreign group. The losses,
however. were not large nor was the
trading heavy. Some of the libertys
were a little lower at the start, but
there was little change in high-grade
rails and industrials.
The bond market has been subject
all week to the same influence that
ruled in stocks. The ptssimism as
to the railroads has had Its enect
here also, but to a less degree. II
happens that the bonds of the North.
ern Pacific, the Great Northern ana
the Chicago and Northwestern are
among the high grade investment is
sues and not ordinarily bought or
sold for speculative account. they
would not be expected to reflect
earnings.
Cut in Rates Feared.
At the same time even these have
to degree been affected by the
speculative mood. The St. Paul is
speculative fNorites, responding to
Improvement or lack OF II in the
financial condition of the road. 1t is
not surprising, therefore. that prac-
tically all the bonds of this road
should show losses of l to points
on the week. Undoubtedly II is not
so much present earnings as 1T is
fear of cuts in rates that shapes sem
timent toward these bonds. 1t is
felt that the northwestern roads are
in no condition to cut rates.
Erie bonds were lower today, but
up to yesterdays close the gains and
losses We're fairly even.
The only other important incident
of the week among the rails was the
sharp drop accompanying the an
nnGuncement of receivership for the
minneapolis and st. Louis. Up to
last night the refunding As of this
road had lost 10 points in six days
and the refunding SIS more than II
points. Iowa Central IS in the same
time dropped 9 points. Today's prices
worst had been discounted.
Action of Foreign Group.
The foreign group has been very
irregular. In the main II has held
very well considering the news The
new Austrian IS sold today at 80.
the Offering price, against a high
since they were listed of 93Z. OF
course. until the syndicate is closed
and these bonds are reasonably well
distributed IL is impossible to get a
line on the market estimate of their
value. There is also always the ef-
feet of buying for sinking funds
to be considered. Both the French
SIS and French 7ks have the benefit
of these sinking fund purchases.
New financing for the week has
been very small, the total being
only ST., ,046, 600. This is slight gain
on the previous week. Outside of
two railroad equipment issues and
one public utility it has all been
state and municipal offerings New
railroad issues are not likely to be
brought out until market conditions
are more favorable.

"Job's Comforter. I"
From the Kansas City Times.

The expression is ironically used to
denote any person who, under pre-
tense of sympathizing with another's
Affections, attributes them to his
misdeeds, and thus aggravates his
sorrow. The allusion is to Eliphaz,
Bildad and Zophar, friends of Job.

declared that his misfortunes re-
suited from his sins and iniquities.

WATCHMAN ROUTS
THIEVES IN FINE CAR
Tells Police Four Young Men
Tried to Strip Apartment
Hall in Night.

A bold attempt by four automobile
thieves to strip the apartment house
at 1909 18th street northwest of its
hall furnishings was frustrated by
the watchman shortly before mid
night last night.
The robbers drove calmly up to the
front door of the place in a glisten-
ing high-priced touring car. All
four alighted, walked into the hall
way and were about to depart again
with chairs. pictures and mirrors
when the watchman happened to
walk out of an adjoining room. AS
he reached for his pistol the bandits
dropped their booty. dashed out and
into their automobile. and sped away
before they could be stopped.
A thorough description OF all four
was furnished the police. They were
young and well dressed. according to
the watchman. who said he could
readily identify them. Two of the
number were recognized as young
men who had called at the apartment
house earlier in the day disguised as
book statesmen Their mission. ap-
parently, was really to determine e
whether or not another visit with
their two companions would be profit
able.

SURVEYL|GHTENS
AL[EYLAW BURDEN
Only Few DWeI|ers Must Go,
Building Inspectors Office
Decides.

After making a careful survey of
all Inhabited alleys, officials OF the
building inspectors office have found
that only a mere handful Of the TO-
900 alley dwellers will have to yacate
on June l. when the closing law be-
comes effective.
A. S. j. Atkinson, an assistant
building inspector. has gone through
every alley to determine how many
of them fail to meet the requirements
laid down in the closing law, which
must be present If the dwellings are
to remain in use.
Corporation Counsel Stephens rem
dered decision a few weeks ago. In
which he held that under the terms
of the act of Congress any alley that
was more than thirty feet wide, that
had sewer or water facilities and
gas or electricity, would not have to
be closed. 1t is understood shat Mr.
Atkinson's survey discloses that only
a small number Of alleys fail to nice,
the requirements.
The reports Of the survey will be
placed in the hands Of Maj. Raymond
Wheeler. assistant engineer commits.
sioner, tomorrow or Monday. and he
probably will place 1t before the
Board of Commissioners at the board
meeting on Tuesday.
With only two weeks remaining be-
fore June 1. the city heads will be
forced to decide promptly what course
they will pursue on the first day OF
the month.
Another factor entering into the
situation is the suit for Injunction ap.
piled for by owners of a number of al
ley dwellings. which IS now awaiting
q decision in the District Supreme
Court.
The task Of deciding how far to go
with the alley closing law in view of
the fact that Washington will b.
crowded with visitors on juno l is
one of the most perplexing problems
that any board of Commissioners ha.
had to face in recent years.
