November.
The indications are that the mod
crate recession in business which
has ruled during the last SIX
months is already beginning 10
give way to slight recovery. In
my Judgment this recovery VIII
have become rather substantial
by spring.
The summer months may. bring.
as they often do, hesitancy, 1r-
regularity, perhaps symptoms OF
fairly pronounced uneasiness.
Business and Election
The next definite trend in bust
ness will be governed by the crys-
talization of sentiment in high
places on how the election is likely
to result.
My guess is that confidence will
develop shortly after Labor Day
and that it will first be reflected in
the stock market. NV guess also
Is that the outcome of the election
will be interpreted as satisfactory
to finance and business and that
1928 will end more auspiciously
than it has begun.
Meanwhile, however. / look for
rather drastic readjustnent in the
quotations for many Of the stocks
which have been daily marked up,
under the leadership Of powerful
spectators, regardless of actual
developments, such as customarily
exercise SOLDERING effect on bull
ish demonstrations.
This readjustment in the stock
market may come sooner rather
than later. That it viii come soon
er or later this year, / haven't the
slightest doubt.
Investors To Profit
When 1t does come. then careful
investors should profit by the op.
portunity to select trustworthy
stocks, especially those of our
larger, ably managed industrial
enterprises.
Whether railway stocks. as a
whole. will then be attractive will
depend, first, upon the extent OF
their decline and, second, upon
the stand taken by the Interstate
Commerce Commission towards
consultations. the attitude taken
by Congress, and the United States
Supreme Courts decision on the
basis on which railway valuations
shall be computed and on the
constitutionality of the recap
ture" of half of all earnings
above per cent on the invest
ment.
Fundamental conditions at the
opening of the year are very
sound. generally speaking.
True, we have lately witnessed
a decrease in railway traffic
amounting to some 10 per cent
under last years and of smaller
percentage under previous years.
The net earnings of many indus.
trial as well as railway companies
have decreased considerably dur
ing the last few months. Quiet
ness has characterized the iron
and steel, the automobile, the tex
tile and several other industries,
while the oil industry has con.
tinued chaotic because Of over
production. Building operations
have been uneven, and employ.
ment has slackened somewhat at
various centers.
Steel Doing Better
But the steel industry already
shows signs of doing better,
the automobile world confidently
counts upon marked quickening of
activity, oil leaders are co-operat-
ing to bring about more business
like conditions and the employ
ment outlook is reasonably good.
Money rates may advance some.

to abduct a small girl and boy
in New York city several months ago
and voluntarily added details OF the
Staying Of Joseph Storela, I. In a
swamp near Secaucus. N. j.. Novem-

- Police OF Detroit and several New
York cities were cooperating this
morning in efforts to learn whether
Kudzinowski is responsible for the
disappearance of other children
whose fate is an inigma to police of
the east.
Brooklyn authorities requested he
be questioned concerning the disap-
pearance two years ago of four year
old Billy Gaffney. son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edmund Gaffney OF Brooklyn.
Despite long questioning. however,
the IS year old former section hand
reiterated time after time Joe was
the only boy I killed"
Kudzinowski was arrested here for
drunkenness. His actions IN a cell
aroused suspicion and questioning
yesterday brought his confessions.
Besides the murder of tho boy. he
admitted killing Harry Quinn. fell
low worker, in Scranton, Pa, in
March, 1924.
After detailing to Inspector Fred
Frahm his two unsuccessful attempts
at abduction, Kudzinowski said: II
made up my mind Joe wouldn't get
away. I fooled him and he didn't
get loose like the other kids did"

After persuading the boy to ac-
company him by taking him to a
motion picture show and buying him
candy, Kudzinowski said he and the
boy took the tube to swamp near
Secaucus. His account OF the crime
ended with the Unconditional asser-
ton:
HE yelled for his mother and I
was afraid some one on the high |
way might hear SO I took out my
pocket knife and cut his throat"
Late that night. he added, he |
caught freight train to Scranton,

came to Detroit.
He waived extradition last night |
