cetta Pavano of 12s High street, New Britain.
 Babula and Bogdanski were taken back to Terryville by Sheriff Buck ley for questioning. If connected with the deserted car. it is probable that their cases will be heard in the Ter ryville town court tonight.
 That the automobile used by Ba- bula and Bogdanski was taken with out the owners permission is claim ed by Mir. and Mrs. Antonio Varnello of 126 High street. who told Sergeant P. J. O'Mara today they knew noth- ing of the case. Mrs. Varnello's maiden name was Concetta Pavano, which accounts for the registration of the car.
 At the garage in which the car Is kept, the police learned that Babula has driven 1t considerably of late. Officer Alfred Tanguay told Sergeant Rival that Joseph Pavano has been driving a car corresponding in de- scription to that found in Terryville, and Officer David Doty said he saw Babula drive through Main street last night in a car resembling the one In question.
 Sergeant Rival received the tele- phone notification of the finding of the car about 1 o'clock this morn ing, from Sheriff Buckley of Terry villo and ohont two bourc lafor tho Bristol police sent word that the local young men were under arrest.
 Judge William F. Mangan of this city was called by Babula and Bog danski and went to Terryville to pre- pare their defense. Arrangements for their release on bonds were being made this afternoon. Bogdanski and and Babula are we'll known in police circles.

PRICES RALLYING
 ON STOCK MARKET
Pressure Lifted and Stocks at
 Once Rebound

New York, Jan. 2e Op, = Selling pressure was lifted from today's stock market and prices rallied briskly on heavy buying for both accounts. The sudden change in speculative sentiment was due largely to the publication of an ex- ceptionally favorable quarterly earnings report by the U. S. Steel corporation, and the increasing in- dications of prolonged period of easy money rates.
 The brisk manner In which a number of stocks were bid up in- dicated that the floating supply had been materially reduced by the absorption by strong interests on the recent break. Pools resumed aggressive operations in 8 number of issues, Columbia Carbon, Loews, and Erie, : first preferred, being marked up to the highest prices in years.
 Chesapeake & Ohio, which was weak yesterday on rumors of new financing in connection with Van Sweringen merger plans. rallied f points. coincident with the resump- ton of conferences arranged in the hope of compromising the differ ences between the Cleveland capi- talists and the minority stockhold- CTS committee. Substantial recov- cries also were made by number of other recent weak spots in the railroad group.
 The recent improvement In the textile industry was reflected in the opening of the fall staple serge and overcoating lines on the American Woolen Co. at prices 2 1-2 to 1-2 cents a yard above the spring levels. Directors of the Childs Co.,. operating a chain of restaurants, declared a stock dividend of per cent payable in four instalments The weekly steel trade reviews re- ported increased bookings of steel, but also called attention to a fur ther recession in prices.
