s BOY BURGLARS
ARRESTED IN
THEFTS

Six boys were arrested and placed
in the county Jail with the recovery
of goods, including tires, shoes, cloth
ing and general merchandise valued
at $1,000 by Sheriffs A. B. Carnes of
Florcsyille, and W. Neubauer of Sc
gum and Deputy Sheriff Tony Diaz
of San Antonio, Tuesday.
With a voluntary statement made
by one of the boys. it is expected an
other cache of stolen goods valued at
approximately $4,000 will be recov-
cred before dark.
Each Of the officers arrested two
of the boys, whose ages range between
is and 20 years. Sheriff Neubauer
OF Seguin. found the key to the boy
burglar ring when he arrested two of
the boys last week. Information
cleaned from them led to the arrest of
two in Floresville and two in San
Antonio.
In his confession one of the boys
told Of how the gang had robbed stores
in Kirby, Converse, Karnes City,
Floresville and four stores in Seguin.
Officers expected to draw confess
sions from the other members Of the
ring Tuesday.
With San Antonio as n depot for
the hiding of their loot. the gang ter
rorized country storekeeprs for more
than two months. The wide range of
their crimes baffled officers during
September and October. The recov,
cred goods were brought to the sher-
ifs office here and identified by the
other sheriffs.

quickly ignored. The market shivers.
or pretends 10 SILVER, on the eve of
every weekly meeting OF the New York
reserve bank, but it is Il question
whether even an advance here-which
doesn't seem necessitated by the strict
ly banking position-would cause the
bulls TO surrender, at least not in
those sections OF the market which
have not get been grossly manipulated.
One OF the three most influential
bankers in America thus reads the out
let:
Activity and optimism are likely 10
continue until broadening industry and
business absorb more money. When
banks throughout the country begin in
earnest to recall the large amornt Of
funds they are now carrying in Wall
street, interest rates will rise. Then,
but probably not until then, will the
stock market experience any general,
decisive decline"
In the highest financial circles IL is
emphasized that security market con-
ditions today cannot be compared
closely with conditions in times past.
Importance is attached to the tremen-
dous increase in our national savings.
to the amazing spread of customer
ownership of stocks TO the very wide
dissemination Of knowledge regarding
securities; also the impending cutting
of income super-taxes. AS one inter
national banker remarked. Wealthy
people who have large paper profits
do not care to sell now and hand over
so large a part Of their profits to
the government. Besides, what could
they do with the money were they to
sell out the securities which presum-
ably they regarded as the choicest in
the market?"
Business news continues cheerful.
But it will have to do still better IL
earnings are to warrant continuance
Of the bull movement in stocks.
Having outlined the attitude of the
keenest banking brains in New York,
would it be presumptuous for me to
add that l cannot work up quite rs
much enthusiasm over the stock mar
kct outlook?"

STOCK RISE ATTRIBUTED
TO HEAVY BANK BUYING
BY B. G. FORBES

Why did the New York stock mar
ket, after its sharp break, rebound
on Friday to the highest price-peak
in its history?
Mainly, / believe, for a reason that
may not be generally credited.
My own Investigations have brought
out that there was heavy buying by
many powerful banking and other in
terests who sold heavily at much lower
prices and were impatiently awaiting
an opportunity TO re-enter the market
on an important scale.
Banker after banker told me at
the opening of this month that he
believed the upward movement was
far from over, but that it probably
would veer away from the more spec
tacular issues into the railroad divi-
sion, the metal division and the oil
division. They were especially con-
fident that good rails would enjoy
substantial advance before. the bull
market closed.
These predictions have at least be-
gun to be fulfilled.
During Fridays 5000. 0O0-share
day, the third this year and the fifth
in the exchanges history, the rails
scored the greatest advance. almost
three points on the average. The oils
also were very buoyant. On the other
hand, feverish irregularity marked
trading in issues which have been the
favorite footballs of the markets lead
ing manipulators. Even the declara-
ton of the per cent extra dividend
did not prevent General Motors from
falling more than 81 per share at the
close.
The market is no longer governed BIZ
actual developments, but bas become
very largo psychological affair.
Wall street is honey-combed with bull
ish tips" More importance is at
tached by many to a whisper that
Durant or Whalen or some other fig
ure is to boom a stock than to any
improved dividend payment, any state
ment Of earnings, any expansion in
bank loans secured by stock market
collateral. The advance in the Bos-
ton federal reserves discount rate was

The stove presumably was being

The still, little damaged by the
fire, mad been assembled in the attic
of the house. Near it was located
the origin of the blaze as well as-the
mash.
The remainder of the house pre-.

been luxuriously furnished. Officers
believe it had furnished the living
quarters for the society distiller"' and

Lock Horns in Contest

With Main Avenue and Bracken-

Elephant contest to win the first
prize of 5000 cash to buy uniforms for
their band corps, junior high schools
are laying plans to put the senior
schools in the shade.

the best inducement, although there
are other prizes and honors for the
winners.
Breckenridge students have a

but Main has kept silent so far.
Unless the old school spirit is asleep
Breckenridge can expect some compe-
