How Stock May Act.

This professional man asked my
opinion as to what he should do L
told him the stock he was holding
was highly speculative, that it was in
no sense an investment and that
sooner or later he ought to dispose
of it, inaSmuch as he admitted he was
in no position to take risks with his
small capital. He thought this advice
good but objected he could not afford
to sell until the quotation had ad-
Vanced to the price he originally
paid. Besides" said he. ''if the
earnings are improving and business
is picking up, as apparently it is, the
dividend will be resumed and then
the price will go up and L will have
a. profit instead of loss"
l tried to explain that this did not
necessarily follow. The mere fact
that the dividend was restored would
not of itself put the stock back in
the investment class. it was even
more doubtful, L told him, that the
stock would keep up its advance after
favorable dividend action had been
taken. What was happening in this
particular instance is what goes on
IN Wall street continually. SpecuIa-
tors had been buying this stock in the
eXpnctation that the shareholders
would eventually receive some return.
But when that time came, if it did
come, the spectators who had been
buying would be ready to sell in
order to realize the profit due to their
foresight. The result would more
likely to be a decline than a further
advance as soon as the dividend had
actually been declared.

Two Moves Possible.

The amateur speculator perSuades
himself that in cases like these bona
fde investors will spring up over
night to take his holdings off his
hands. That rarely happens. In
vestors are more cautious. If they
are wise they are not buying COM
mon stocks just because a dividend
is being paid. They look back over
the record of the years. They want
some assurance of continuity of pay
Inent in bad times as well as good
My friends stock was a speculation
when he bought it. 1t is a specula-
tion now. 1t will still be a specula-
ton when and if the dividend is re-
stored. He must make up his mino
to do one of two things. He must
sell out now, accept his loss and re-
invest in some sound security. Or
he must go on speculating.

HERE'S CHAMPION
 OYSTER CONSUMER

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.-The cham pion oyster eater has been found.
 William Edgar Mckee, president of the Los Angeles Harbor Board, who recently returned from the annual convention of the American Associa- tion of Port Authorities, at New Or leans, has laid claim to being the worlds greatest oyster eater and challenges all contenders to defend their honors against him any time at any place.
 According to President Boyle Workman of the Los Angeles City Council, who attended the convention with Mckee, the harbor board presi dent has a just claim.
 Mckee said Workman, late on
 'ctr ~vsters day while he was in New Orleans.
 He started the day with a dozen or so oysters for his break fast. For lunch he would eat half dozen as an appetizer, then couple of dozen to form the meal, and he always in sisted on oysters for dessert.
 For dinner there were more oys- ters, and there were even oysters in Nntv"en meals. He ate them raw, seal loped, stewed, pickled boiled and fried

Three bandits early today held up
the Seventeenth and Castro street
branch of the bank of Italy, lock-
ed six employees and two customers
in the vault, scooped $4,000 in
cash from the counters and escaped
an automobile.
The men were masked and arm
ed.
The bank had just opened for
business when the robbers entered.
Lining up the tellers and other
employees and the two customers,
the bandits marched them single
file, with the manager, +. j. Stan
ley, at the head of the line, into
the vault and shut the door, but
did not lock it,
Search of the bank for other per-
sons disclosed the janitor, Joseph
Colombo. The bandits locked him
III rear room and then proceeded
to gather up all the cash in sight.
A few minutes after their auto.
mobile had roared away toward the
city limits, Colombo smashed down
the door where he was confined and

iuries about the. head and body.

day and refused to discuss the acct
dent except to say that he tried in
every way to avoid being struck by
Seawell and was distressed to think
that the young man had died.
Seawell has relatives in Oklahoma,
who have notified the authorities
that they are coming to FL Centre
for the inquest which is to be held
on the accident For this reason
Coroner Lemons has postponed the
inquest until such time rs ScaWcil 5

ON WARpATH ON
NEARBY RANCH

V. Kasavod, a Filipino, 2S wears
old, is held at the county jail, ON a
charge of carrying concealed
weapons, rs the result of going ION
the warpath' yesterday.
Kasayod is employed on a ranch
several miles east of Heber, and had
everything at a standstill there yes
terday as he flourished wicked
looking gun and threatened to shoot
anyone who attempted to work. Sew
eral of his corntrymen and Japan
ese, who were also on the ranch were
petrified with fear.
One managed to get away from
the ranch unseen by Kasayod and
came to Ell Centric, where he made
complaint to Officer Applegate OF
the Ell Centre police. The latter took
the man to the sheriff's office
where he told his story.
Undersheriff Bert Underwood and
Deputy Sheriff Oswalt made a trir
to the ranch and had a rafting good
fight with Kasayod as they tried ia
take his gun away from him. The
"little brown brother made nc
attempt to use the weapon on the
officers, but was determined that
they should not take it from him
Though small, he put up u good fight
and kept the officers busy for sew
eral minutes, before he could be
handcuffed
While the fight was in progress
the other ranch hands stood around
as though dazed and not until they
saw the handouts on ,Kasayod and
knew he could not harm them, did
they break forth into Il chorus OF
:" Him bad man; him very bad

TRACE DEALERS
IN OIL STOCKS
TO PROVE FRAUD
Bankers, Brokers of NY.
and Washington to
Give Information

WASHINGTON, i--eD. 5.-The
senate oil inquiry reached out fol
rev sensational evidence TODAY
when it began tracing list OF
names of high government Officials
reported to have '1cleaned up il
stock Transitions.
The list includes "a former white
house official, Il senator and al
least two men high in government
departments.
Senator Walsh of Montana, Chief
investigation, considers this the most
important phase of the case he i,
building up to prove corruption
and fraud i'll connection with
leases on naval reserve lands which
former Secretary Of the Interior
Fall gave to Harry +. Sinclair and
Edward l.. Doheny. Following az
this line of inquiry, the commIltec
met today to hear Samuel Ungcr-
leibcr, Cleveland broker, who has
offices i'll Washington. Although
the plan was TO conduct only a pre-
liminary examination of Cnger-
lciber, the committee desires TO as
certain how it will find exactly who
brought and sold mammoth oil stock
in Washington when the leases were
made.
Fall to Appear Friday
p Fan has been notified to be on
band next Friday. The senate IS
expected to pass on Thursday Il
resolution continuing the power Of
the investigating committee. This
will meet at least one objection of
Fall who declined to testify at his
last appearance. Steps viii he tax
en- to find him in contempt if he
does not tell his story.
As soon as Harry Sinclair, lessee
of Teapot Dome, returns from Eu-
rope he will be called upon to APP
pear before The committee.
Carl p. Biggerman, of the Chase
National Bank of New York, has
been called to trace large transfers
of cash which Sinclair is said to
have made to Washington bank.
The accounts of the federal
trade commission, who , are going
over the books Of Washington brok
ers, probably will have II report
ready in Il few days. They are at
tempting to ascertain naDles of
those who speculated.
On Thursday the senate will re-
sumo consideration of the Robinson
resolution, calling for resignation of
Secretary of the Navy Dcnby, who
signed both leases.
