Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March I'm its great
upward sweep yesterday the stock
market did not overlook the rails. Dur
ing the last two weeks of recovery they
have been neglected while speculation
has concentrated on two or three groups
of industrials and limited number of
public utilities. With the increase of
AZ per cent shown in the net operating
income of the lines reporting for jan
uary and an unexpected dividend pay
ment on Kansas City Southern COM
mon stock sufficient basis was found
for another demonstration in the
shares of the carriers.
The Kansas City Southern dividend
encouraged holders of stock in other
roads that are not yet sharing their
profits with their owners. 1t also lent
color to the reports that the first half
of 1929 will see several important sys-
TENS increase their present dividend
rates. The policy of railroad managers
in loosening up with respect to dividends
will undoubtedly be affected by the
tenor of the Supreme Court decision
IN the OFallon case. which may come
some time this month.

Won Bode, former director of the Kaiser
Friedrich Museum and widely known as
an art expert. died yesterday, at the age
of a.
Prof. Won Bode was particularly known
as an authority on the work of Rem
brandt, and frequently was consulted
regarding the authenticity of paintings
believed to be old masters. At times
he became the center of controversy
over the authenticity of various art
works. one of the first being in 1909,
when he declared that wax bust pur-
chased by the then Emperor William
was the work of Leonardo da Vinci
He was raised to the hereditary
nobility on the occasion of the Kaiser S

Dawes Returning to Banking.

Dawes Returning to Banking.
"That Vice President Dawes. when
his term of Office expires on March a..
will return to banking as chairman of
the board of the Central Trust Co. OF
Illinois, illustrates the high position
banking has reached as profession .
says the Bankers Magazine.
"As presiding officer of the United
States Senate Vice President Dawes
must often have growa weary OF listen
ing to the interminable flow of debate.
VERY likely he sometimes felt like
telling the Senators to stop talking and
get on with the job. Being man of
action, this is at least fair assump-
ton. AS chairman of the board of the
Central Trust Co. of Illinois, he will be
IN a position no doubt more consistent
with his natural traits.
Gen. Dawes has been controller of
the currency, in charge Of subsistence
OF the American Expeditionary Force in
the Great War. head of the commission
which adjusted the German reparations
tansle. Director of the Budget, and Vice
President of the United States. His
country has honored him. He las
honored his country. After all these
honors he chooses to go back to his

Savings Clubs Prove Puzzling.
In connection with the recent re-
rorts on the Christmas Savings Club
campaign for the present year, the
Bankers Association bulletin announces
that seven of the 80 reporting banks
showed no gain over the previous year.
Bankers are rather puzzled over this
announcement and it is not known
whether competitor, difference or rules
or what other factors may have caused
the variations.
er Total club membership for all the
banks increased by 1923 over last year
and these members have subscribed

Encouraging reports come from the
Preparations Conference in Paris. The
minds of the various delegates are grad
ually nearing a focus, with France and
Germany not so far apart but that
moderate concessions on either side
could produce a definite plan. This
week there has been serious study of
the bond aspect Of the settlement, with
some sounding of the European markets
as to their willingness and capacity to
take a portion of the proposed COM
mercial loan. II is recognized that what
may be done in the sale of bonds at the
start must be confined chiefly to the
continent of Europe, for neither the
American nor the British market is In

A WARRANT

The officers and I were in my studio when I handed back paper to the man. Somerfield having carried off his bluff, my pulse was quieter, and I looked at him quite calmly.
 The paper he had given me to read was a search warrant which asserted that information on oath hath this day been laid before me that certain goods have lately been feloniously stolen and carried away out of the dwelling house of Ber- tram Fotherbury and that this in- formant hath probable cause to suspect that the said goods are concealed in the house of Thomas Grenofen of Woodcot."
