Elizabeth, N. j.. Oct. l5.-LP)--
State authorities today considered

machine gun bandits whose latest
outrage was the murder OF one man
and the wOunding of three others
during 500, 900 mail truck robbery
here.
Troopers maintaining picket pa
trols at crossroads in the North Jer-

shoot to Kill. They carried rifles
and gas bombs. All automobiles
were stopped and occupants question.
ed.
Eight men took part in the robbery
yesterday. The state police announc-
ed that John J. Bum" Rogers. James
.kiiler' Cunniffec and Vincent OF
Paul Mccormick, notorious criminals,
were members Of the band. Rogers,
Cunniffee and Mccormick are want
ed in connection with frustrated
air mail robbery near New Brunswick
last week, in which two were killed.
Two Autos Used BY Bandits
a Two automobiles were used by the
bandits yesterday. They ran down a
motorcycle patrolman accompanying
the truck as it reached a busy corner
near the business district and then
opened fire with automatic pistols
and rifles. John Enz, driver Of the
truck, was killed. The patrolman and
bystander were wounded.
SO sudden was the attack that only
two shots were returned by the truck
attaches to the more than 10 fired by
the bandits. Windows in nearby
houses were broken.
fwe bags OF mail were taken from
the truck and placed in the bandit
cars. Estimates Of the value Of the
loot. including a payroll, ran from

PLAN DRAFT GEAR TEST.
American Railway Association
Works for Safer Travel.

With a view to further increasing
public safety and comfort while trav-
cling, and reducing loss and damage
both to freight shipments and to rail
way equipment, a thorough study of
draft gears used on both freight and
passenger cars is to be made by the
American Railway Association to de
termine what improvements can be
made in them.
The association has authorized an
appropriation to build, install and
house a specially constructed machine
for testing draft gears to ascertain
their capacity. absorption of recoil and
endurance. From the information OBJ
tanned the association plans to pre-
pare suitable specifications under
which the railroads may purchase
draft gears that are known to meet
the prescribed standards of efficiency.
a draft gear is the mecha nism locat
ed at each end of the car and attached
to the coupler, which absorbs the
shock that comes either from starting
or stopping a train.

Stock Drops Worst
I'm Annals of New
York Exchange

NEW YORK. April 1.-The re-
action through which the stock
market has just passed was the
most drastic in the history of the
New York Stock Exchange. The
average of twenty leading indus
trial stocks broke from record
high for all time of 1862 on Feb
ruary IL to 1914 on March ),
rallied to 1886 on March II and
then collapsed to 123.ll on Tues
day, rallYing back to l2T.25 yester-
day. The railroad average showed
an extreme drop Of II points.
While more Widespread ttuctua-
tions have taken place in individual
stocks in the pass, particularly
during the Northern Pacific panic
and the periodic outbursts of spec
ulation in the old Mexican Petro-
ieum stock, no such general drop
has ever taken place as the
market has witnessed this month,
and, similarly, no major advance
ever equaled in extent or dura-
ton the one which started just
prior to the election of President
Coolidge and continued, with few
minor Interruptions, until early
this year.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
The Lure of Common Stocks.

The compensation for the diSadvan-
tages inherent in common stocks as
investments is the fact that the hold
ers of the common are the real owners
Of the business, and, if the business is
successful, to them and to them alone,
belong the profits
The bondholder has claim only on
the amount of his principal, which
must be paid back to him at the
agreed upon time and upon the in
terest at the agreed upon rate mean
while AS long as the company is sol
vent and the interest is paid regularly
he has no further share in the cor
pora tons prosperity. The preferred
stoCkholder has first lien on earnings
up to the amount of the percentage
called for under the company'S char
ter
The balance of the income goes to
the holders of the common. No limit
is fixed to their profits except the
| ability of the business to produce
them. If valuable rights are to be
distributed they always go to the COM
mon stockholder and only occasion
ally to the holders of the preferred.
When trade is active and business eX-
panding and the security markets ad-
vancing it is invariably the common
stocks that appreciate the most in cur
rent price.
OF course. when business falls off
and industrial depression prevails and
security prices are declining it is
the common stockholder who suffers
in that he sees the quotation for his
shares depreciate proportionately.
There are always plenty of investors,
however. who are willing to take this
risk in return for the possibility of
the larger profit The emphasis is so
universally placed upon the instances
of success in common stock invest
ment that the disasters are minimized.
and common stocks are and always
will be favorite purchases by GER
tain class of investors.
This is as il should. be, for some
one must take the risks of business.
Some one must furnish the capital,
without which industry cannot func-
ton. The unfortunate feature of the
whole matter is that the people who
! can least afford to assume this risk
are always the most anxious to under.

BANANA IMPORTS
FAR AHEAD OF 1926
Big Year for Tropical Prod
uCt, Cutter, Head of United
Fruit Co., Says.
BY J. c. ROYLE.


Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, April 1.-The year
1926 will be the greatest year for the
banana since Christopher Columbus
brought a few lunches of that fruit
back 10 Queen Isabella of Spain.
Victor NJ Cutter president of the
United Fruit Co, who has just return
ed from trip to the Caribbean, de-
ClareS that prospects are bright for a
large banana crop. lmportations 10
the United States are running well
ahead Of last year, which was most
prosperous season.
Only some unexpected upheaVal of
nature is likely to nullify these pre-
dictionS But the chance of hurri-
canes and tropical storms is one that
growers. shippers and distributors
face each year in the banana business.
That business has produced the larG'
est farmers in the world. The firms
engaged are American firms, but their
sources of supply and their mainland
holdings ana operations are in the
Latin American countries.
Built Huge Trade.
TO them IL credited the building
up of the tremendous volume of trade
between the United states and Cen
trail and South America with its vol
ume of steamship and railroad travel
and its intricate system Of production
and distribution. Leaving cuba aside
and the total volume of Cuban trade
amounted to more than 500, 900 600
the trade with Latin America in
creased over $l00,000.000 in the last
year. In exchange for their bananas
the United States has sent these coun-
tries products of every description
The United Fruit Co. owns alone
1913 600 acres of land in Latin Amer
lea, making it the largest farmer in
the world. The Cuyamel Fruit Co.
owns 100000 acres of land in Hon.
duras alone. with railroads. steam.
ships and other equipment.
Neither the profits, the possibilities,
or the romance of the banana bust
ness is confined to the older com
panies, however. This was shown in
the, rise of the VacCaro family of New
Orleans, who recently incorpora ted
their holdings, under the name Of the
Standard Fruit and Steamship Co.
The Naccaro family has accumulat-
ed SJ0.000.000 in % years in the ba-
mana business. In the early 90s, Jo-
Seph. Felix and Lucia Naccaro sue
ceeded their father. an Italian immi-
grant, III ownership of small fruit
stand in the French market of New
Orleans. Subsequently they financed
Salvatore d'Antoni. son.in.law of the
eldest in the purchase of a small lug
ger he used in transporting oranges
from the lower Mississippi to New
Orleans, where they were sold by the
three brothers.
\ freeze IN 1899 ended production
of Louisiana oranges for a time and
nearly ended the Eacc8ro business.
but it turned their attention TO Cen
tral America. In 1901 the brothers,
with d'Antoni, purchase an old
schooner for $500 and embarked on
the Importation of Coconuts and ba
nanaS. They made enough from these
operations 10 charter a small tramp
steamer, the first voyage of which
brought 5000 bunches of bananas.
From that day the brothers and d An
toni prospered.

Earnings Put Back.

Earnings were .put back into the
business They soon began to grow
their own bananas and coconuts and
to buy and operate their own steam
erS.
Other lines of endeavor. such as
sugar plantations. refineries. railroads
and lumber mills, were added from
time to time until now their hold
ings are among the most extensive
and valuable in existence.
They are the second largest pro-
ducers of bananas in the world. 1t is
estimated they brought at least 10,-
000.0 punches of bananas TO New
Orleans in the last year out of a total
importation Of $4,000, 900 bunChes.
Today they have II modern steamers
running to the principal Central
American ports, with railroads In
Honduras and Nicaragua and banana
and coconut plantations in Nicaragua

and hundreds of thousands of acres
