GOOD RECOVERY
IN TRACTION BONDS
Foreign Group Weak in Days
Trading-U. S. Loans
Are Steady.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES,
'ecial Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. August 27.-The fea-
ture in today's bond market was the
recovery in local traction issues
which had been under pressure for
several days past Third Avenue ad-
Justments, which on Tuesday dropped
below As, rallied above SO. This fol-
lowed the publication of the latest
earnings statement which showed
hat, despite a falling off from last
year, interest charges were being
more than covered. The surplus for
the IL months ending June 80 was
only $75,262, however, and for July,
only $3,157. These slim margins quite
well explain why Third Avenue ad-
lustments had to sell on a 10 per
cent basis in order to attract buyers.
lnterborough Rapid Transit issues
were also helped by what was re
garded as a favorable earnings re-
port. There was still a deficit for
the month of July of $316,734, but
this compared with loss d year ago
of $760,737. The refunding 6s ran up
point and a half. Brooklyn and
Manhattan Transit bonds were also
firm.
French Bonds Weak.
Further realizing sales were ap-
parent in the market for French
bonds. Profit-taking also continued
i'll French city issues. Trading was
quite lively again in the Bolivia SIS,
which were rather conspicuously ~
strong again. AS compared with a
week ago. when the bank liquidation
was going on in United States Gov
ernment bonds, the market for these
was quiet. Prices We're little
changed
St Paul As of 1925 were off d point
from the high of the recent recovery.
This reflected uncertainty regarding
the refunding plan about which con-
ferences are now being held. The i'm
preston was that nothing would be
accomplished until there had been
time to see whether the expected
earnings Improvement during the
past five months of the year would
materialiZe.
\. & w. 6s in Good Advance.
NEW YORK, August 27.-Selling
pressure was lifted from number
traction and Industrial issues in to-
days early bond trading.
Norfolk and Western convertible 6s
and Atchison General As advanced
to points, while gains of l to )
points We're recorded by some of the
local traction liens. Appointment of
friendly receivers for Wilson d
Co. Drought rallies of ! to points
in the convertible issues, but the first
6S, which had been selling above so,
continued to decline on readjustment
to a receivership basis. Fractional
losses were general in the speculative
rail group. Liberty bonds scored
moderate recoveries.

COTTON QUOTATIONS
DROP AFTER GAIN
Showers in Texas Cause Some Sell.
ing-Weekly Report on

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 27.-The cot
ton market opened steady today at an
advance of 10 to 20 points. Renewed
covering, combined with some trade
buying and local support was promot-
ed by relatively steady Liverpool
cables and apprehensions that the
weekly review of the Weather Bureau
would comment unfavorably on crop
prospects in parts of Texas and
Georgia. Private reports of showers
in Texas. however, caused some sell
ling on the opening advance. After
selling at 25.0S, October contracts
eased off to PAST under realizing
and Southern selling. presumably in
the way of hedging.

virtud de haberle hecho pr6stamos a

En- resumen, podemos decir que SO
motto una marcada mejoria IN las con
diciones econ6micas de Ia isla. La dis
injunction en- actividades que Sc obser-
vo en- ciertas Industries, fue mas que
compensate por la intensa labor de
construction de obras publicas que ha
venido realizando tanto Ell Gobierno In
sular como Ell municipal. 2,613 pianos
fueron aprobados por la Division de
Ingenieria Sanitaria del Departamen-
to de Sandal para la construction de

encontramos que la situaci6n del ira

Some fanatic took it upon himself
to cut one of the wires holding up
the cross, and it fell to the ice. I'm

sight, and thousands of people wit
messed it.
At the same time, large number
of robed klsnsmen appeared in the

zens to put an end to the manufac-
ture of illicit liquor in Fairmont,
Doc Bostic, colored king of local
bootleggers, continues to make
"moonshine" booze at his Pennsyl-
vania Avenue joint, under the pro-
lection of the court house ring. The
ring has made several attempts to
destroy and discredit the Ku Klux
Khan.
Bostic is purveyor of bonds for
dope peddlers. He has been arrested
several times since September %,
last. Police have raided Bostic's
place five times and found liquor
each time. The largest amount
found at any single raid was Is gal
Ions.
He was arraigned before United
States Commissioner George Harry
Gordon, Clarksburg, on a charge of
having moonshine liquor in his pos
session. Mayor Buckley's men had
raided his place and found the booze.
When arraigned before the commits
sioner, Bostic procured aid from the
local court house and the federal
government was unable to produce a
case against him. He plead guilty
to a liquor charge before a local
magistrate and was sentenced to
serve 80 days in the Marion county
Jail. 1t is alleged that he served
only about 10 days.
Despite the fact that county off
Gals are protecting criminals Judge
Emmett M. Showalter and Sheriff
Charleton, the two highest officers
in Marion county, are openly opposed
to the Knights of the Ku Klux Khan.
They claim the Khan is an outlaw or
-ganization and is attempting to
usurp law enforcement.
The Knights of the Ku Klux Khan
stand for law enforcement and are
especially in favor of enforcement
of the eighteenth amendment. 1t
is said that Doc Bostic brags that
he now "has it fixed" and people can
call him on the phone for liquor.
With whom did Bostoc fix it? How
much did it cost if anything?
Do the county officials really be-
lieve that the Ku Klux Khan is a
lawless organization? The recent
grand jury returned 1853 indictments.
So far as known none of those in
dicted We're members of the Ku Klux
Khan. The Ku Klux Khan, as an or
ganization, does not protect any VIC
lations Of the law.
