NEW HAVEN BONDS
TURN VERY WEAK
Drop Almost Spectacular.
Liberty Issues Firm in
Today's Market.
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. July 5.-Weakness in
speculative rails. especially marked in
the case of New Haven obligations.
was the feature of today's bond mar
ket. The drop in the New Haven Is
sues was almost spectacular. The de-
benture Is OF 1912. which closed at
Sc on Tuesday. sold at So before mid
day, down four points.
The rs of 1926, dollar issue. at the
same time were selling four points
down, while the Is of 1926. franc issue.
were down two points. The non-con-
veritable debenture Is of 1867 sold
within a point of their low for all
time. which was recorded in the de-
pressed market Of November, 1921.
Other Issues on Slightly.
There is nothing new in the New
Haven situation except the report OF
the committee appointed by the New
England governors and the conditions
set forth in that report were known
to all who ever had occasion to study
New Haven finances.
Other speculative bonds were lower,
but in no case was the selling 80 in
sistent as in the case Of the New
Haven. Missouri. Kansas and Texas
Seaboard Air Line ad
justments and the Erie general As
and convertible As lost ground.
AS might have been expected, for
eign bonds were unfavorably affect
ed by the news from abroad, The
French cities issues. French SIS and
French 7i.s. which from time to time
have the benefit of buying for ac-
count of the sinking fund, held rela-
lively better.
Government Issues Firm.
There was little better feeling
toward securities OF the highest
grade. United States government
bonds were firm around Tuesdays
closing prices and there was some
inquiry for legal" railroad bonds.
such as Atlantic Coast Line first As
and Northern Pacific general As
Union Pacific first As. Atchison gen.
oral As. Pennsylvania general 4as,
Canadian Pacific debenture IS and
United States Steel sinking fund SIS
are other examples Of the class of
bonds which showed the best tone
There was further selling of the local
fractions.

NEW YORK, July 5.-The "tyran-

Nicely of West Virginia in an ad-
dress here.
According to estimates recently
made" said Mr.. Nicely. there are
10000 men now working twelve

of the United States.
NO drudgery of shackled African
slave was ever more certainly in

worthwhile things Of life than is the
steel mill drudgery of the twelve-hour
day.
1T is high time for all of US to
realize that so long as there is such
a slave on our soil we cannot boast
that this is the land Of the free, and
to suffer 10000 of our people to
be in bondage, we dare not boast
that America is the home of the
brave.
Calls 1t Slavery.

matter Of freeing slaves become a

countenance the contention that the
profits of an industry have prefer
entail rights over enslaved humanity? ?

 Charlie climbed back on his motor cycle. and returned to the jungle" He appeared, as he had expected, 10 have II wholly to himself This was season when. Its nomadic habituef were more apt to be in the west, fol- lowing in the wake Of circuses and street fairs, or answering the need for harvest hands. The ashes Of the last campfire were at least / three weeks cold.
 Never the less as a proper measure of precaution, he secuted through the entire patch Of woods. and as the light grew stronger climbed tree to reconnoiter the surrounding country
 He slid down from the tree, and after hiding his motorcycle carefuliy under a pile of brush, laid down m sandy hollow and pulling his nal over his eyes, prepared to sleep.
 When he awoke several hours iater the sun was warm on him, and ne lay luxuriously for while listening to the varied and various wood sounds, all long familiar to him. Finally he rolled over and pulled out his watch If was almost Il o'clock.
 He ate from his package Of sand wiches. uncorked the thermos bottle; then rising, swung himself up with a good deal of agility into the tree under which he had been sltting. ,
 The hours passed on. The sun hao crossed the zenith and declined to- ward the west. Charlie in his leafy retreat disposed of his remaining sand wiches and what was left of the coffee in his thermos bottle.
 The rest of the time he put in al timing automobiles.
 At half-past three. Rangers DIE tourine car came along from the di- rection of town. Through the glasses, Charlie could recognize the flgure o' the manufacturer himself in the drivers seat. He was. quite alone, and as he neared the crossing, seemed to be glancing to right and left.

 Yet his complacency did not keep him from very carefully timing tne nace of the car as it swept along over the marked course.s
 As it happened there was notnins else in sight when Ranger reached inc cut, and he drove straight aheao'
 At the rate he's travei1ng' ne ne oupht to be out in one minute ana :. seconds" Charlie calculated. Weil ret a line now on just how long II fakes to pull out that stone and put it back again"
 But it was almost five minutes be- fore Ranger reappeared on the fur'her side of the crossing ,,.., u,on,

With q sigh Of relief Charlie sank into a chair and busted himself in roilinK a succession of cigarettes.
 Perhaps a nnser-print man could help usf" Ranger was still dwelling on this theme. That letter and the photograph must have been handled by the person who put them in the envelope, and it might be-?"
 At last Charlie could unleash him sslf.
 Good Lord, Lorry!" There was actual entreaty In his voice. Wont you understand? Won't you realize what we are up against' You talk about making those people pay. and it here weaving kindergarten schemes ,o trap them; and all the time they've rot you sewed up tighter than a drum. They've got your daughter in their hands, and they tell you plainly that t you don't come across with hum fred grand by tomorrow-and play pouare with them. too-youll never rec her again. What are you going to do about that?"
 Ranger fiinched for a moment be- fore this vigorous presentation, but he rallied.
 .Why, if can't do anything else, I'll deposit the bonds as directed, and then have enough men close at hand 10 nab whoever comes after them
 And you expect 'em to walk un- vuspectingly right into your bunch of nabbers? Lorry. Lorry! A wop Kid. napper from the East Side would know better than to fall for game like that Do you know this place where you're supposed to plant the bonds?"
 Certainly. Behind loose stone h the archEay where the Lone Hill road runs under the railroad tracks

 ..So do l know it." Charles mouth widened comically. Got chased through there once by a farmers watchdog. And, If you Il remember, you've got to be pretty nearly inside the archway before you can tell what's going on there. So, with dozens of automobiles of all kinds passing along that road all the time. your watchers would have to be planted practically in plain view to see the one that stops and gets the jack"
 Ranger, when he gave it thought, could not we'll deny the strength of the objection. His head dropped, the worried lines began to reappear in his face.
 And now, this.'' Charlie caught up the letter from the Combine. You cay, you found it on your desk when you come back from luncheon. Any idea how it got there?"
 T meant to speak about that" Rangers mouth frightened ominously. ''I've had everybody in the building questioned, but no one admits being near the office"
 What does Bryan say?"
 q haven't had a chance to talk to him yet. He left before I did to go to Newark, and hasn't got back yet. I don't sec" He shook his head perplexedly. But anyhow" he grew grim again. I'm going to give him his walking papers-on suspi- cion.'
 'I wouldn't Charlie demurred. You want fellow of that kind where you can keep an eye on him. Show him this letter and consult him about it. You won't learn. anything, but it will make him feel easy. Then raise his salary. Tell him you want to show your appreciation of his faithful services"

 CHAPTER x. | Where the Lone Hill road one of Westchester County's main travelled thoroughfares, dips under the railroad tracks, it passes through an archway .of masonry between so and 75 feet long; and as this archway is high enough to accommodate load of hay, and the surrounding country is one of level fields, the approach on either side is through steep, walled cut.
 But Charlie thought he saw way to get around these unpromising con- ditions. He did not go home that night after leaving Rangers office, but | instead registered at a cheap East Side hotel whereshe spent the evening in an exhaustive study of an auto l mobile road-map of Westchester | County.
 About o'clock he came down stairs and passed out, casually re- marking to the night clerk that he was wakeful and thought he would
 
 At garage eight or ten blocks away where he had left his motor cycle, he got it, and chugged briskly over the Williamsburg bridge as if heading for his lodgings. On the other side. though, he deviated from the direct route, and twisted aimless- | ly through a succession of ill-lighted, tenement streets until he was sure he had thrown off any one who might | be trying to trail him, when he turned | north, and crossed back to Manhat- tan by way of the Queensboro bridge at Fifty-ninth street.
 Dawn found him at little patch of woods along the railroad track about half mile distant from the archway at the Lonea Hill road cross camp fire and a scattered litter of rags, newspapers, old tin cans and worn-out shoes betokened a hobo jungle"
 Beside it ran back road, little more than a wagon-track, crossing the railroad here on the level, and fork ing into the Lone Hill road quar- ter of a mile beyond. From his study of the map, he. knew that this by-way again intersected the main road about mile and a half above, and he remembered that it was marked as rough and bunny but passable for machines in case of emergency.
 The wise campaigner, though, leaves nothing to chance. In order to make sure that it was open and without Instructions, Charlie rode out to the intersection with the Lone Hill road and circled back by way of this to his starting point.
 In the archway at the railroad crossing he dismounted to take look at the place designated as deposit tory for the Liberty bonds, and from the instructions in the lettersfound no difficulty in locating 1t. Just about midway of the tunnel and at the height of a mans shoulder, there was discolored streak on the masonry caused by dampness. and the mortar had crumbled from around one Of the stones leaving 1t loose.
 Testing 1t with his fingers, Charlie found the block easy to lift out. Be- hind it was creice, shallow but
