LOS ANGELES POLICE SEEKING MURDERER MARIAN PARKER


 dreds of police, detectives and arm ed bands of private citizens united in an unprecedented search for the slayer of Marian Parker, twelve years of age and the daughter of a prominent local bank official The body of Marian who was kidnapped last Thursday noon .'as tossed out of an automobile Saturday night ct the feet of her father, Perry G. Par ker, who had gone to the appoint ed street corner in the Northwest section of the city carrying fifteen hundred dollars ransom money de- manded by the abductor of the little girl. Parker received a tele- phone call at seven thirty-five Sat urday night instructing him to proceed to the corner of Fifth St. and Manhattan Place with fifteen hundred dollars in gold certificates and his daughter would be return ed to him there. The father was distracted and nearing collapse but proceeded to the corner named with the money. arriving there shortly after eight o'clock. A few minutes after he arrived a small roadster drew up alongside of MT. Parker In the automobile the banker saw his daughter in beside the driver and was told that the little girl was asleep. The driver said: Heres your child. Give me the money and follow instructions. She's asleep"
 Parker handed the kidnapper the fifteen hundred dollars in twenty dollar gold certificates. The kid napper. after taking the money drove ahead of the father little way, and climbing out of the car he threw the body of the girl on the grass in front of house few doors up the street. As soon as the man had driven away Parker ran frantieally 10 his daughters side and collapsed with her in his arms when he found that she was dead Upon first examination of the mutilated child it was found that both her legs had been cut oil apparently close to her body. wire had been twisted so tightly around the girls throat that the flesh had been cut deeply The wire ran into gaping wound ar ound the back of the head to the face where it was thrust through the eyelids.
 Vernon Junior High School grounds by a man who told her her father was i'll. When she failed to return home the police were notified and one of the most intensive man hunts ever conducted in the State of California began. The dismem- bered parts of Marian's body were found Sunday scattered in well wrapped packages along the road way where they had apparently been tossed by the kidnapper. The police are working on the theory that two men and woman per petrated the crime. The demand for the slayers' arrests has now reached twenfy-fiye thousand dol lars including twenty thousand dol lars broadcast by persons who an- swered an appeal broadcast by ra- dio.

Some Issues Are Heavy-Re-

RY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
= NEW YORK, July 5.--If there was
any reinveament demand it did not
show itself lin todays bond market
Trading dragged along with no refiec.
ton of the strength that was appear
ing in stocks. In fact, bonds OF some
of the companies. notably the rails,
were noticeably heavy, while the cor
responding stocks were speculative
favorites.
:, Perhaps the most interest was taken
in some of the new issues from
which syndicate support has now
been withdrawn. There was heavy
turnover in the new Goodyear 5s,
which had, slumped over points on
Saturday. Today's market was we'll
isupported around the preceding
>. close, that is, for bonds bought for
delivery "next day" Sales for de
'.layed delivery" were made as much
as 2 points below transactions in the
regular way. At the same time there
was evidence that the bond, after its
recent decline, was in good demand.
At one time during the session ST.
iO00, 900 par value was bid for at 9li2.
In the market for seasoned issues
the convertibles accounted for a. good
deal of the trading. Erie ID as went
-up with the stock. The conversion
privilege for this bond expires Oc-
tober / next, after which whatever
part remains unconverted will sell on
a parity with series "a and "B,
now quoted more than 20 points
lower.
The contrast between the stock and
the bond market was shown by the
action in such railroad issues as Chi
cago Great Western As, Missouri Pa
cific general As, Chicago Eastern
Illinois 5s and st. Louis-San Fran
cisco incomes. All these were either
fractionally lower or unchanged, not
withstanding the strength in their
respective stocks. International Great
Northern adjustments were shade
lower, although the understanding is
{, that the unstamped bond will be re-
tired at par January l next.
>, Most Of the local fractions were in
clined to sell off, but Interborough 6s
and Is were exceptions. Traders
seemed to believe that the Interboro
was in better condition as far as the
terms of the proposed recapture plans
are concerned than the others.
Gains and losses were about evenly
divided in the foreign group, but
changes in either direction were small.

LIST IS IRREGULAR
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Early Strength Gives Way to
Mixed Movement-0iI
Shares Gain.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 5.-For a time
after the resumption Of trading on
the Curb Exchange today 1t looked
as if the market was taking it's cue
from the action of the main body OF
stocks on the Big Board. But as the
session progressed many weak spots
were uncovered which gave the list
as whole decidedly mixed appear
ance.
A new high record was established
in Gobel common when it changed
hands at a. and there was special
strength in General Baking issues,
with the "a" at new top for the
year under buying which represented
for the most part the further covering
in or long g-standing short interest.
Department Stores Pressed.
The market for department store
issues was under pronounced pres
sure despite the favorable sales fig
ures which continue to come to hand.
Best 4 Co., around 81, equaled its old
low. Safeway Stores at 255 lost an.
other II points on top Of the similar
decline last week. Sanitary Groceries.
the latest addition to the group, was
off points or more at intervals.
In the bond division Warner Bros.
812s went to a new low record. break.
ing sharply in sympathy with the
weakness in the junior shares, which
were being affected by the uncertainty
over the outlook for the motion pic
ture industry. The break in Servel
Corporation IS, which carried them
also to a new low record at "A, recalled
to mind the sharp drop in the issue
previous to the payment OF the last
interest obligation several months ago.
columbia Gas per cent bonds broke
almost points. establishing a new
bottom since the listing of the issue.
Some Demand I'm Oils.
Sentiment toward the oil shares re.
mained unchanged in face of the new
peak production recorded in domestic
output for the week ended July 9.
Higher prices We're the rule for Prai-
rie Pipe Line, Illinois Pipe Line and
vacuum Oil, but in each instance the
buying was for special reasons. Some
form of extra distributions have been
talked of in the case of these three
issues. and this was apparently the
incentive for the demand TODAY,
1t was difficult to see anything tam
gible in the situation of the South
American oils to account for the de.
mand for Carib and Creole Syndicate.
1t was noteworthy, however, that the
majority OF the oil stocks failed to he

in Early Trade.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 5.-The cotton
market opened today unchanged to 9
points lower. There appeared to be a
little selling on a favorable view of
weather conditions over the holiday
and prices worked off to 1902 for
October and 1927 for January. or
about 10 to Is points net lower. Trade
interests were moderate buyers on the
decline, however, and the market was
fairly steady at the end of the first
hour.
Private cable advices said the Liver
pool market was featureless. awaiting
reaction Of the New York market to-
day and the boil weevil report expect
ed tomorrow. The advance in the
minimum selling rates of yarns made
from American cotton in Lancashire
was said to be restricting business in
Manchester.
The market remained very quiet
later. The little selling inspired by
favorable weather news was absorbed
by trade buying or covering, which
may have been prompted by the pOssi-
bility of bullish features in the Gov
ernment report on boil weevil emer-
gency expected tomorrow. October
contracts rallied from 1902 to 1906.
