Golf Ball Thefts
Laid to Dog Which

Police Hunt Canine, With
Master Held Under
$500 Bail.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK Augu-t l0.-Police to-
day we're hunting TO 'Mashie," bull
dog said to be the most accomplished
golf ball thief that ever trotted across
the Van Cortlandt Park links.
"Mashie" was missing because, after
biting a detective-on an order. police
said. from her master-she apparently
got hunch something was wrong and
scampered away.
The master, Frank Conroy. of no ad-
dress. was arraigned in Morrisania
Court today and held in $500 bail on a
charge OF having taught "Mashie" to
grab the balls and bring them TO him
IN the bushes. SO that he could sell
them back TO the players and thereby
collect enough to buy their daily rations
of beans and bones.
Complaints from golfers that their
balls were being lost" much too rapidly
led detective to play several holes on
the course.
suddenly. he said. he saw "Mashie"
grab a ball and run for the bushes.
She did it several times, he said. so he
followed her. And there, he told the
judge, he found Conroy with seven golf
balls, all bearing the imprints OF
"MaShie's" teeth, Ii his pockets.
And not only that, but "Mashie. on
an order from her master. leaped at
him and bit him. the detective said.
Conroy, who said he came from San
Francisco. declared today that the de-
tective was all wrong.
''MaShie' he said. never stole any
balls, she found them"

The disappearance of the three Swiss
aviators who left here Thursday sup
posedlv for Lisbon tonight was as puz-
zling as ever. Nothing had been heard
from them since they started on what
was announced as the preliminary to a
transatlantic attempt.
1t was hoped that they had been
merely forced down In some out of the

necessary to notify any one. Had there
been serious accident It was believed
certain that word of 1t would have
reached Paris or Switzerland. unless. OF
course, they fell In the sea and were

A continuous dividend has been paid

earnings record has also been good,
and in the fsur years ending 1926,
average earnings were $13 a share. At
that point the Mississippi food caused

tlnued to climb since.

bond PRICES DOWN
IN HEAVY MARKET
Trading Almost Reaches
StandStiII-SeIIing Move
ment Is Suspended.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

! SpeclaI Dlspa tch to The Star.
/ NEW YORK, March 8.-The bond
( market relapSed into dullness today
with the reduction in volume being
largely explained by the fact that there
was no recurrence of yesterdays severe
liquidation. Pressure disappeared from
the market for United States Govern
ment loans, but there was no recovery
in prices. The same condition existed
in the case of other gilt-edged and legal
obligations, yields on which the last day
or SO have reached basis where they
can be recommended purely from the
standpoint of their cheapneSs.
As a matter of fact the market failed
to change very much. Continued heavi-
ness in a few of the rails was traceable
TO the absence of buying power, but
even further concessions failed to in
duce demand. Rock Island 41as slipped
almost a full point. the FiSco liens of
the same denomination met with a
fresh supply, and Union Pacific IS, due
1868, also eased. Atchison 4l2s were
more active, but moved in fractional
narrow range. Northern Pacific IS, a
legal rail, lost large fraction.
Convertible issues were much quieter
with their movements corresponding to
the nervous market for their stocks
Inc Anaconda rs appeared on the tape
less frequently while International
Telephone 412s and many of corpora
ton issues carrying the speculative
conversion feature displayed irregular
ity. Allegheny Corporation SIS were
mostly dealt in slightly under Thurs
days closing. but the International
Match SIS came down a point on the
opening sale, as did the International
Cement S.
Interboro Rapid Transit SIS, among
the local traction issues, were again
weak and the Third Avenue adjust
ments encountered fresh selling Slight
" greater activity was witnessed in oil
company issues at slightly higher levels
Numerous representative foreign
group and municipal obligations firmed
up, especially French rs. Danish
municipals, Australia 4las, Rome 61hs
and the ArgentineS. Belgium issues,
however, were all lower. more especially
the IS with the others showing sympa-
thetic weakness.

NEW YORK, March 8.-The five
largest railroad systems operating in the
southeastern section of the United
States are at present showing earnings
well ahead Of those of year ago. 1t
begins to look as though they had at
last recovered from the effects of hur-
r1canes, floods and the collapse of the
Florida real estate boom, and can con-
tinua to develop with the rapidly grow
ing districts in which they operate.
In the territory between the South
ern Atlantic Seaboard and the Missis-
sippi Valley there are five large rail-
way systems. Running north and
south along the seacoast are Seaboard
Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line, two
competing roads. Extending further in
and the Southern Railway, and on
the extreme west, also running north
and south, Is the Illinois Central.
After 1925, with the collapse of the
Florida real estate boom and the hilr-
ricane, the Seaboard Air Line and At
lantic Coast Line suffered severe shrink
ages in earning power. Whereas few
months previous to the bursting of the
real estate bubble their stocks had be-
gun to take on some of the speculative
glamour brought to all roads years ago
by the MISUNDERSTANDING era, there was
suddenly sharp decline in traffic and
shortly afterWard further heavy losses
were inflicted by the hurricane.
Seaboard Air Line.
The most severe blow was dealt to
Seaboard Air Line. which had just be-
gun a strenuous program of expansion
| and. since her financial position was
none too strong, could Ill afford the
catastrophe. From Virginia south to
Florida the Seaboard was building
against the future in a rapidly develop.
ing territory. She had been quick to
improve Florida facilities, but the COM
bination of events. coupled with heavy
funded debt in relation to stock, proved
too much. Earnings, which had climbed
to sharp peak of $500 share on the
common in 1925. fell to earnings Of only
10 cents a share on the preferred the
following year and in 1928 earnings of
only 4.72 per cent on the adjustment
bonds.
Seaboard'S management, however. has
been successful in effecting operating
economies, so that in spite Of the fact
that weather conditions and heavy bus
and automobile competition have re-
Gently caused revenues to remain at a
low level, the net income has risen
gradually. The management expects
that the company's showing will i'm
prove.
Seaboard has suffered because At
lantic Coast Line, her chief competitor,
was well intrenched in the field when
she began her policy of expansion. She
has made much progress in recent years,
but, as the earnings and price f1uctu-
atoms Of the stock prove, it is'a rather
highly speculative issue.
Atlantic Coast Line.
While Atlantic Coast Line has also
suffered heavily in the past two years,
being in stronger financial position
than Seaboard, it has been able to earn
its $40 dividend rate by narrow mar
gin. Probably the speculative POSSIBLE
tiles of the stock when it earned $26.93
a share in 1925 will not soon return.
However, with the present yield at SIS
per cent, the stock has settled back to
the investment standing which it has
long. enjoyed as one of the few rails
which have never been through the
