pocket. Assigns Of his putting up fight,
the detective grapplsd with him and
called to his two associates at the
doors to arrest the other man whom
he had noticed as he entered. After
short struggle the two men were
overpowered. When the larger of the
two was searched a torn check was
found in his pocket. made out in the
same writing as the two that had
been successfully passed the day be-
fore. A number of similar checks
all prepared for use. were also found
ON his confederate. When confronted
by the tellers Of the banks who had
been victimized the day before. the
leader was readily identified. The
two prisoners were hopelessly en-
shared, admitted their guilt and in
their hotel rooms were found large
number of checks. deposit slips and
pass books of banks in various cities.
The Trap Sprung Again
Similar quick action of the bank
crook trap in Boston terminated the
career Of another check forger who
had been operating successfully in the
New England states. The banks which
he had victimized notified the Amer.
ican Bankers Association with the re-
suit that all other banks in the terri
tory were warned against him and
were put on guard. Therefore. when
he walked into q Boston bank to con-
tinue his operations he walked into a
trap as he was Immediately recog-
mixed and nabbsd BY the ofllcers there.
These are only two instances Of
many that have recently taken place
in various parts of the country. Some
of these arrests have brought into the
tolls of the authorities some Of the
slickest operators in this line in the
country and from them have been
learned the details Of the way bank
crooks operate, placing in the hands
OF the detective department the
means to put banks on guard against
further depredations.

people of the United States came to

many came to have great faith in him

it came to being persuaded that he
was the man for president, their votes
trumpeted forth, in tones unmistaka.

Steps were at once taken to set a

banks were warned that he was in

ALL GRAINS RISE AS CORN SCARS New Season High Prices Made In All Three
 Markets

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.4-In a runaway buying market today, corn jumped up as much as Sc a bushel and brought about an exciting furry, too, in oats and in wheat. New high price records for the season resulted in all three of the grain markets. Corn closed buoyant at 3hc to 5Nc net advance-December, $1.15H H@1.15h Wheat finished unset- tied at 3Ac to 4Ac up-September, S1.31H@131M;; and December, $1.35% O 185N, with oats showing 2hc to 3hc gain and provisions varying from 7c off to a rise of 17c.
 Leadership in the grain markets went quickly to the corn trade soon after business began. The fact became sud- denly apparent that, owing to extraor- dinary continuance of widespread cool weather and excessive moisture, many previous sellers of corn had concluded to reverse their position and either cancel their outstanding risks or Gc- lively espouse the buying side. Mean while, recent large purchasers were add ing to their holdings, whereas offer ings were becoming scarcer and scarcer. Minneapolis reports that 1t was prob able a small percentage only of the growing cNop in the north would ma ture ahead of killing frost seemed to act as a special stimulus to buyers.
 On the subsequent upward sweep of the corn market, heavy profft-taking sales took place, but they failed to stop the advance. Forecasts of general showers and of cooler weather in all the corn-belt states made the trade increas- ingIy anxious, and so, too, did asser- tions that purchases of Argentina corn to be brought to the United States had emphasized in a striking manner the shortage of the domestic supply and the uncertainty of the crop outlook.
 Liberal buying of oats as a substi- tute for corn lifted the value of oats and made the oats market more active than for a long time past. In this con nection, talk was current that heavy curtailment of the Canadian oats crop had gone far to offset the large yield of oats in the United States, and that the domestic yield was being seriously diminished by continued rains at har- vest.
 Wheat derived much of its strength from corn, but was also affected by estimates that 1000, 900 bushels of wheat had been bought at Omaha for ~ex- port by way of the Gulf of Mexico. Besides, there were renewed predictions of frost danger tonight in Canada and more or less buying, too, in anticipation of a quick settlement at London with Germany.
 Provisions average higher, responsive to the action of grain values and of

October de- ciined to 26.44c and December to 26.40c during the morning, or 36 to 40 points below the previous close, then October rallied to 26.S6c and December to 26.SSc, or to points above the close of yesterday. The close was but little above the lowest, showing net losses for the day of 68 to 76 points.
 The initial decline was due mainly to lower Liverpool cables than due, the English market being depressed by in- creasing hedge selling and also by a large crop estimate by a prominent authority. The decline was checked by a dry weather map and by an official forecast promising little rain for the west. In the second half of the morn ing all the early loss and a little more, owing to an unexpectedly large report of mill takings by Secretary Hester, the total being 145,0O0 bales, against S1,000 last year.

LITTLE HEADWAY MADE BY BONDS Fresh Buying In Some Rail Lines Offset By
 Profit Taking

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.--AIthough acc tive demand expanded in an assortment of railroad and industrial Issues bond prices today failed to make much head way. Fresh buying of several seeond- grade railroad :. liens was offset by profit-taking in others, and foreign ob- ligations continved to mark time pend- ing definite settlement of the Ruhr evacuation problem confronting the London conference.
 Demand for the railroad issues cen- tered chiefly in the St. Paul convertibles and refunding 41as and the 4s Of 1925, Seaboard 6s and adjustment 5s, Frisco income and adjustment 6s; Katy ad- justment 5s and Philippine Railway 4s, which advanced from about one to three points. Katy" Is and New lost ground. .
 Rising prices for copper and sugar were reflected in an improved demand for bonds of these companies. Chile Copper 6s and Magma Is scored moder- ate gains and Eastern Cuba Sugar 7hs were active at higher prices. Advances of more than a point were registered by Republic Steel 5hs, InternationaI Mercantile Marine 6s and Virginia Caro- lima Is. .
 A local bank from the syndicate was awarded $12,000 000 Illinois state bonds and will probably make an offer from the next week of the two issues-$9, ,000,- 900 4 per cent railroad bonds and $3,- 100000 Az per cent soldier bonus obli- gations. Investment bankers today pre- dicted that the forthcoming German loan would yield investors better than per cent, asserting that # the col- pon rate were fixed at 75a per cent the offering. prices probably would be around 93.
