 The boy was chasing a playmate across the street and Nevarde. who was driving in westerly direction at the rate of 20 miles an hour, ac- cording to his statement to Officer John M. Liebler, did not see him be- cause he was so small. The right side of the front bumper struck him, throwing him under the car. Felix Gosselin of 92 Franklin street picked him up and Nevarde drove him to New Britain General hospital.
 Officer Liebler learned that a game of "cops and robbers was being played by Manuel Andrews of 107 Franklin street.

RAILROAD SHARES
 MAKE GOOD GAINS
Take Center Of Market Interest
 Away From Utilities

New York, Aug. (E} - Bullish operations were resumed with con- siderable vigor in today's stock mar ket, with major speculative interest shifting from the public utility to the railroad shares More than score issues were pushed into new high ground, many of the gains run ming from ) to 15 points.
 Call money renewed at 10 per cent but the banks appeared to be in a more comfortable position, and a lower rate is expected. Time money and commercial paper rates held steady, with business light. While many traders expected de- crease in federal reserve brokers loans because of the heavy liQuila- tion a week ago, the increase of S52, 0O0,0 900 to q new high record ap- parently caused little concern, due to the rather general feeling that the loan total will be much higher before any major reaction develops. Weekly mercantile reviews indiCat- cd little change in the general busi- ness situation, while the publication of another series of earrings state ments testified to the widespread prosperity of the first half year. A further improvement was noted in the demand for copper, and the in troduction of new lines is reported to have stimulated the demand for automobiles.
 Tho lriclt J tho iJc was influenced by the unusually ia VOrable earnings and traffic state ments now being published, and a rather widespread speculative belief that they were behind the general market. Atchison quickly made up it's early 2 point loss and moved | ahead 1-2 points to new high l record at 261 1-2. New Haven also moved into new high ground. New 1 Y ork Central, Chesapeake & Ohio, and Lackawannna were pushed up 1 , points or more and Missouri Pa cific, Union Pacific, Southern Pacif- | ic and Erie advanced to points l by early afternoon.
 General Electric continued its sen- sational advance by soaring II points to new high at 393, which con- .rasts with the years low of 219. Detroit Edison ran up IA IA points 10 3S5, Peoples Gas 12 IA points to 400 1-4 and Philadelphia Co. s points to 22S, all new high records. American & Foreign Power, North American Co.,. Consolidated Gas and General Public Service also broke through 10 new peak prices.
 American Telephone ran mp more
 1han 5 points to new high at
 2S5 IA. National Biscuit Allied
 Chemical. Johns Manville, Du Pont
 and Bohn Aluminium also recorded
 large gains. L. S. Steel common and
 Westinghouse Electric each crossed

 Auburn Auto fell back il points

 Audit Would Cost S200O
 Other creditors shared this be- lief and so expressed themselves during the meeting. It is claimed that the referee would refuse to sanction this action because he would argue against taking S2,090, the cost of the audit, from the es- tate and reducing the share which creditors should receive. Plans are now being made, in case the referee does not give his approval, to have the creditors combine in assuming the costs of the audit with the!r own money.@
