LOW PRICE MOTOR SHARES IN DEMAND
Several Issues Respond and Go
 to Higher Levels

New York, Nov. 13 R>-Confict- ing price movements marked the opening of today's stock market with q demand for low-priced mo- tor shares offset by realizing in some of the leading industrials such as Baldwin, L. s. Steel, American Smelling and Allied Chemical. Nick el Plate and Atlantic Coast Line opened fractionally higher.
 After the early selling had been absorbed attempts to put up prices were successfully resumed in sever al sections of the list. Brisk ad- vances in several instances, notably a 3-point jump in Hudson Motors, apparently representing a running i'll of short interests, while various rails and specialtles were bought on better earnings and dividend pros- poets. American Express Otis Ele- vator, U. s. Cast Iron Pipe. Pierce Arrow preferred and Missouri Pa cifc preferred were among the is- sues which gained l to points in the early dealings. Continued un- certainties in the business outlook, however, opened the way for selling activities which kept prices fluctuat- ing in irregular fashion. Baldwin and Pullman were heavy and Con- nlercial Solvents "B" was under pressure. Foreign Exchanges open ed easy. with French francs and Italian lire slightly lower.

do not know how he was killed. At this time we have nothing to cor roborate or nothing to contradict"
 With no one at his bedside ex- cept a nurse and hospital orderly, the unidentified man, died in the New Britain General hospital last night at 11:15 o'clock. Beyond the fact that he wore rubber boots, and that certain other features of his appearance tallied closely with those of Mike Catalino. wanted by the police of Frankfort, N. Y., for mur. der, there is no clue to his identity
 Nothing is actually known of him found lying on the railroad tracks near the Russell & Erwin boiler house Wednesday night shortly after the 9:47 train due from Waterbury had passed. He was unconscious from compound fracture of the skull.
 Taken to the hospital In the police ambulance he underwent a treph- ing operation by Dr. George w. Dunn. So hard had he been struck by some object that a part of his skull was splintered. While the general theory is that he was struck by the train. nothing definite is known about 1t. At the hospital it was believed that if he were struck by the train, it must have been a glancing blow, since he did not show indications of any other injuries. A jagged gash on the back of his head, about five inches long and laying bare the fractured skull. seemed to be the only wound.
 All day Thursday and all day Fri day he lay on cot in a quiet room" in the hospital, his labored breathing the only indication of a terrific struggle with death. He was so badly injured that physicians at the hospital would not predict that he would live through the operation.
 Suspected Of Being Murderer
 The theory that he was Mike Cat alino, fugitive murderer, seems to be borne ont by combination of circumstantial facts, although the theory is secuted by Dr, Paladino, interne at the hospital, and Chief of Police William c. Hart himself was unconvinced last night.
 In order to check up complete ly. Chief Hart decided to have Po- liceman Thomas A. Dolan, finger print expert, take prints of the dead mans fingers and forward them to Frankfort so that they might be compared with fingerprints of Cat alino.

COOLIDGE COURT
 PLAN APPROVED
Presidential Advisers Offer No
 Criticism to Policy

Washington, Nov. 13 RS-IRterest in the capital in the world court situation revived today as President Coolidge resumed his duties at the White House after three day trip to Kansas City during which he de- clared in his Armistice Day speech that the United States would join the tribunal on its own terms or remain outside.
 In the face of considerable con- fusion and variance in the answers of the few member powers to the inquiry of the United States as to the acceptability of the senate res. ervations to the protocol adherence. President Coolidge was pictured as confident that his declaration in the I west would lead 10 final and decisive steps soon toward the determina- tion of the question of Americas s membership.
 The presidents statement was re- garded as certain to remove any doubt as to the determination of the United States to take the court on it's own terms or leave it alone.
 The next week, in the expectations of. the presidents advisors should see an end to the prolonged delay on the part of signatory powers in replying to Secretary Kelloggs in- auiries of several months ago re- garding the attitude on the reserva- tons.
 Acceptance of the reservations has been voiced In formal notes re- ceived at the state department from Liberia, Cuba, Greece, Albania and Luxembourge. Santa Domingo re- piled that 1t would approve the reservations through it's Genevia representative. Uruguay answered that the reservations are acceptable but required approval of the uru- guayan legislature.
 After having accepted the reser- vations, however, the representa- tives of Greece, Albania and LuXem- bourg at the recent Geneva confer ence approved the resolution re- garding the reservations which the United States has found unaccept- able. The dominican, representa- tive also signed this resolution but reserved the right of his govern ment to accept the reservations In their entirety If 1t desired. The Liberian and Uruguayan repre- sentatives did not sign the resolu- ton.
 Signatory states which have neither accepted the reservations nor attended the Geneva conference are Abyssinia, Bolivia, Brazil Chile Coluombia, Costa Rica, Haiti, Para quay, and Salvador.

stumbling block. The dead man, while not measured yesterday by the police, seemed to be somewhat tall- CT. Catalino's photograph on a po- lice circular tallied with that of the man now lying in the hospital morgue. The sandy moustache, the large teeth, the round face, his racial features and his clothing, the cheap cap, the blue working shirt, he blue coat sweater. all seemed to tally with the description of the missing murderer. The cheap shop ping bag he carried evidently was Used to carry lunch and might have held several days provisions.
 No One Identifies Victim
 In addition. the remarkable fact that despite widespread publicity. no one ever was able to identify him Police, newspapermen. employment managers and others called at the hospital and viewed the injured man but none could recollect ever having seen him before.
 His clothing contained nothing by which he could be identified. There was not a scrap of paper, except a cheap note book containing no N- formation. His pockets were empty, his clothing old and shabby and not even a factory pay check could be found.

KANSAS CITY BANK
 RUN CLOSES DOORS
Federal Trust Deposits Thought
 by Officials to Be Safe

Kansas City. Nov. IS P,-The state finance commissioner today was in charge of the Federal Trust Company of Kansas City which sus- pended business yesterday following recent heavy withdrawals.
 The bank was organized under the state banking laws with a cap- ital of S20o,00o and a surplus of S4o,oo0. Deposits totaled approxi- nlately $2,000,oo0 and resources were listed at nearly $3,o0O,O00. The institution was accorded privileges of the federal reserve system but had withdrawn Its membership in the local Clearing House Associa- ton & year ago and had cleared its city checks through the Federal Reserve bank.
 P. E. Laughlin. president, and q former deputy Kansas bank com missioner. said he thought the de- posits were safe. A city deposit of S300,000 was protected by govern ment bonds in the First National bank. Funds of the state of Mis- souri were covered by a surety bond.
 On presentation of items calling for 3l0o,oo0 at the Federal Re serve .. clearance yesterday. the Trust Company board voted to sus- pend. It was understood the com- pany had presented all eligible paper for rediscount through the Federal Reserve system. The re- discounts were estimated at ap- proximately 34oo,oOo.
 Laughlin organized the Midwest National Bank and Trust company here 10 years ago. This institution was merged in 1920 with the ma tional reserve bank under the name of the Midwest Reserve Trust com- pany. It closed a year later. Deposi- tors were paid, but directors and stockholders lost investments. A short time later Laushlin became head Of the Federal Trust company.
 Martin r. Ryan, for twenty years general president of the brother hood of railway carmen and a vice president of the American federal tion of labor. who was listed as chairman of the Federal Trust com pany board, last night said he re- signed several weeks ago because other duties kept him out of the city.

 The injured man was first found by R. H. Atkins of 273 Myrtle street. who dragged him off the tracks where he lay between the east and west bound tracks. He then notified the police.
 Cannot Take Finger Prints
 Efforts were made this morning by Patrolman Thomas c. Dolan, finger print expert in the detective bureau to take finger prints of the dead man, but because of rieor mortis he was unable to do so. A photograph was taken by local photographer.
 Closer inspection disproved the theory that the dead man was the man wanted by the Frankfort, N. r., police for murder He proved to be feet 10 inches tall as com pared to the fugitive's feet 5 inches. The supposed scar proved to be slight disagreement of the upper lip.
 He had a fairly prominent scar e:-tending more than two inches in length and three-quarters of an inch wide on his right side, which might have been an old stab wound or an operation years ago for a lung infection. The scar had been closed with four stitches.
 He showed no marks of recent in- jury except the fatal injury and the slight abrasion on the lower left side.
 He had fair, brownish hair, brownish gray eyebrows and mous- tache, hazel blue eyes, three teeth in the upper jaw wore missing and the condition of his teeth in gen. eral was poor.
 The police department does not believe the man was murdered, &C., cording to Chief of Police William c. Hart this morning, who states that Medical Examiner Lyons informed Sergeant Ellinger that he was not positive that such was the case.

visit to Sank Centre. In am inter
view with the Herald editor Mr.. OAR
ger expressed his great satisfaction
with the fine showing made by the
Blue Valley Sweet Cream Creamery
during the past year and the steady
progress made since it opened for
business. He had many good words
for the factory force headed by Sup
erintendent Krohm as well as for
the business management.
Mr.. Krebs' appointment to the
managership at Duluth is a big pro-
notion Mr.. Darger pointed out, as
that plant sells a great deal of but
ter in the Zenith City and Mr. Krebs
will be in charge of a much larger
organization than here.
Mr.. Nye has made many friends
both among the farmers and the
business men, and they will be
glad to see him in charge of the Blue
Valley plant here. While at the head
of the Farm Service work, which he
will continue, Mr.. Nye has been in
close touch with the business manage
ment and is the logical successor to
Mr.. Krebs. His activities among the
cream producers have taught him
first hand what is wanted and needed
and his promotion is deserved rec
ignition of his fine work in promot-
ing better dairying.
Mr.. Krebs will leave here the early
part of February. Mrs. Krebs and
little son will remain here until
March 1. Mr.. and Mrs. Krebs have
made many friends during their resi-
dence in this city and they will be
greatly missed from the business and
society circles of Sank Centre.

TWO MELROSE YOUNG
MEN KILLED SUNDAY
GREAT NORTHERN FLYER HITS
FORD COUPE ON CROSSING
AT FREEPORT
BODIES BADLY MANGLED
CLEAR VIEW OF TRACK SAID
TO HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED
BY FREIGHT CARS

Carlessness at a railroad crossing
resulted in the death of two Melrose
young men at Freeport Sunday af-
ternoon when the Ford coupe in which
they were riding was struck by the
west-bound Oriental Limited of the
Great Northern.
The victims were William Eser-
mann, owner and driver of the car,
and William F. Stern, for 10 years an
employee at Lossbroeck's department
store, Melrose.
The young men left Melrose about
200 o'clock Sunday afternoon. They
followed the paving to Freeport and
upon arriving in that village turned
to the south with the intention of
crossing the rack. 1t is bad cross
ing at best and the Herald under
stands that matters were further
complicated by several freight cars
which INSTRUCTED the view. The train
was upon them before the young men
realized their danger. Frantic eff
forts were made to cross the track
but the train caught the rear end of
the Coupe and carried it about 200
feet. Stern was thrown about rs
feet and killed instantly by suffering
a fractured skull. Esermann was car
ried about 40 feet. He was alive
when picked up by the train crew.
He was fastened to the Melrose hos
pital but passed away without regain
ing consciousness about two hours af-
ter the tragedy occurred. Both bod
les were horribly mangled.
Esermann was rs years old Feb. g.
He came to this country from Ger
many in August 1922, and had been
employed on farms about Melrose.
He is said to have been a high type
young man. He was single and has a
brother, also single, living in Mel
rose. The parents and other brothers
and sisters live in the. old country.
William F. Stern was born at
Long Prairie SO years ago. He came
to Melrose 10 years ago and entered
the employ of Mr.. Loesbroeck. He
was united in marriage several years
ago to Miss Waldorf of Melrose. His
wife died two years ago, since which
time ha had made his home with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Wal
dorf. There are no children. He
leaves three living borthers, none of
them residing at Melrose.
Deputy Coroner A. F. Moynihan of
this city was summoned after the ac-
cident. His investigation disclosed
that their deaths were caused by
purely accidental causes and he decid-
ed an inquest was unnecessary.
The Esermann funeral was held
from the st. Boniface Catholic
church Wednesday morning and the
Stern service from the same church
this Thursday morning.
