nab TWO FUGITIVES
Alleged Haag SIayerS Held
on Pacific Coast.

Police Chief Claude M. Worley
was informed by the Chicago States
attorneys office today that Law
renee Ghere and A. Mcdonald
wanted here as the suspected muir
derers of Wilkinson Haag, druggist
late in May. 1926, have been cap
tured on the Pacific Coast.
Because of a garbled message the
chief did not know whether the flu
gitives were held in Los Angeles or
San Francisco. He wired police in
both cities to hold the man for In
dianapolis authorities.
If Worley is able to get the pair
to Indianapolis for trial he will have
ended a two-year search, inter-
spersed with legal battles.
Wilkinson Haag was shot when
two motor bandits attempted to rob
him of a $4,000 diamond ring as he
lunched with a young woman at the
Green Mill dance and barbecue place
in E. Thirty Eighth st.
Police traced Ghere and McDon-
aid to Chicago and Ghere was ar
rested there last year. Ghere subse-
quently won a habeas corpus suit,
jumped a bond and disappeared. Po-
lice never have gotten close to Nc

In the Stock Market
lBy Thomson a McKinnonl

NEW YORK, July 1S.-No mat
ter how many other phases of the
market may be perplexing, there is
one point on which we will all
agree. 1t is that the Federal Re
serve Boards policy of restricting
credit for speculation has accom-
plished its purpose insofar as driv-
ing the public out of the market.
On the other hand, a new situation
has been created. AS we see it
the market is now in the hands of
two forces-a short interest on one
side and few wealthy individuals
on the other, but who are indie
pendent of banking institutions for
credit accommodation. During the
last few days the tide has turned
against the shorts who have been
forced to cover. The public, how
ever, did not follow the buying
movement and the volume of trad
ing remains small. We think we
will all agree that no sustained up
ward price movement can be ex-
pected on such basis as this. There
fore, 1t undoubtedly should be the
policy of the public to grasp this
golden opportunity to liquidate.

TRADE GROUPS

OF ARBITRATION
Crowded DoCketS, Expense
Cause Merchants to
Settle Disputes.
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, July 19.-That bust
ness men make good lawyers, and
speedy ones, even though they dis
pense with legal robes and red tape,
has been proven by the American
Arbitration Association.
Two years old, this society now
settles disputes involving millions of
dollars at a minimum of time and
expense.
The small litigant who could not
afford to risk the cost of defeat in a
court of law, has no worries in the
arbitration system. For the max
imum cost of a hearing has been set
at SIS.
Courts Far Behind
It was the congested condition of
the New York courts that furnished
The impetus for business to form its
own League of Nations" and thus
save time and lawyers fees.
With $4,000 cases waiting for trial
and settlement, and with facilities
for settling only about 5000 a year,
business men decided to build up
their own machinery for settling
their disputes.
At present 300 trades associations
have agreed to settle their difficulties
by arbitration, and there are more
than 5000 arbitrators scattered over
the country.
Pick Own ArbitratOrs
This system furnishes a national
background Of men and organiza-
tons representing the important
branches Of industry and the pro-
fessions," said Lucius r. Eastman.
president, "insuring stability and
conservatism to commercial arbitra-
ton.
THE procedure of settling cases
by arbitration is very simple. Repre-
sentatives from each faction submit
their sides of the argument, and
each selects the name of the man
whom he wishes to arbitrate the
case. A third is usually chosen by
the association.
The association, which is not for
profit, and is maintained by dues
and voluntary contributions, has on
its roll of directors men Of such
International authority as Charles
Evans Hughes, Owen D. Young,
Felix Warburg, Harry Guggenheirn,
Charles Schwab, A. Lincoln Filene.

Tuesday night in black Ku-Klux

NEW YORK, July 19.-Some ir-
regularity came into early stock
market dealings today, but heavy
buying continued in General
Motors, Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck and other leaders in the
previous session. These stocks made
new highs on the movement on
fairly active trading, but operations
in other sections of the list were
again quiet without special feature
United States Steel rose nearly a
point at the opening, but later sold
off, while Radio lost nearly 2 points
from its initial transaction at liz
Chrysler was a feature of special
strength, running up point in re-
fiecting of excellent earnings re-
porter last night. Other independ-
ent motor shares like Studeba-
ker, Hudson and Hupp were in mod
crate demand at higher levels.
Specials Higher
Special issues like Burroughs Ad-
ding Machine, Victor Talking Ma
chine and Dawson Chemical were
sharply higher, but considerable
selling came into the railroad shares
under the leadership of Southern
Railway, which broke a point. New
York Central, Baltimore & Ohio
and Atchison, however, were steady
around their previous closing levels.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
today said:
"Bulish sentiment received further
encouragement overnight from the
generally satisfactory character of
the half-year earnings statements,
which made their appearance and
from the increase of 1880 cars over
a year ago in the latest weekly
freight statistics.
"Steel stocks were in special de-
mand in early dealings under the
stimulus of enthusiasm in trade
circles regarding the induStry'S out
look. Steel common advanced frac-
tionally to the best levels OF the
current recovery"
Speculative Leader Off
Some recessions from their earlier
highs were scored by speculative
leaders around noon despite the
easier tone in tim money and re-
ports that outside loans . of call
money were being made at per
cent against the renewal rate of 512
per cent on the exchange.
Offerings, however, we're not ag-
gressive and prices rallied sharply
from their lows. Action Of U. S.

was decidedly reassuring, new highs
for the movement being scored by
