day said:
Trading in the early dealings
was characteristic of Saturday in
midsummer. Some accumulation of
buying orders overnight caused a
furry of activity at the opening, but
this demand was quickly satisfied
and the marekt Immediately turned
dull.
About the only animation notice
able was in issues benef1ting from
good trade conditions. Case Thrash

In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, July 21.-Durlng the
last few days we have witnessed a
market in which a handful of mar
ket favorites appreciated in value
while the main body of stocks has
done little more than mark time.
The volume of trading in the mean
while has declined to the lowest
level of the year, Notwithstanding
that the money market has been
easy. What does a situation OF this
sort suggest? 1t probably means
that the public is already so heavily
committed that they are not willing
to go further and are patiently
awaiting the time when prices will
be high enough to permit some
profit-taking. 1t is our opinion,
therefore, that until there are more
definite indications of another broad
and upward movement that this can
be sustained, one would be justified
in continuing the policy of liquida-
ton as favorable opportunities pre-
sent themselves.

PUBLIC
AID IN HUNT
FOR SLAYERS
Duty of City Citizens to
Report Any Suspicious
Men, Says Kinney.

Plea for the public TO continue to
cooperate with the police and de-
tectives in their effort to round up
the two men who murdered Motor
Policeman Paul Miller last Tuesday
night was made today by Detective
Chief Jerry Kinney.
Dozens of calls have been re-
ceived at headquarters during the
last three days from persons who
thought they saw the two coatless.
hatless bandits, one with wound
ed arm and bloody shirt, in various
parts of the city.
Ask Public Cooperation
These continued this morning.
There is no doubt that we are
looking for two men wanted some
place else for crimes equally as ter
rible as the murder of Miller"
Kinney said. "They probably are
hunted men with the feeling that
they may as well be hung for kill
ing five as one. Such men are Of
the most dangerous type.
"It is the duty of the citizen to
give any information whatever
that may lead to the capture and
arrest of such criminals. Even the
slikhtest clew may fit in a theory
that will lead to uncovering them"
Kinney is of the opinion that the
two men wanted were the ones who
leaped from the barn loft and
struck Mrs. Ivy Sullivan, 434 N.
keystone Ave, last Wednesday
afternoon. To trace them from that
time on has been more difficult,
since various sections and persons
have reported seeing them.
Trio Escape Pendleton
Among the latest reports is that
of F. w. Watson, 1908 E. Eighteenth
St., who reported seeing two men
going into an orchard from the
road near Waverly. Ind, about p.
M, Friday. One of them had his
arm in sling and both wore blue
shirts.
The man hunters were asked by
authorities of the Indiana State Re-
formatory, Pendleton, Ind, to be on
the lookout for a trio who escaped
there during the storm Friday. They
are William Poland, 20, of 211 S.
Warman Ave, Indianapolis; Warren
Luther Gates, 81, of Lafayette, Ind,
and James Louks, 81, of Cicero, Ind.
All were wearing overalls when they
escaped,
