PEG-LEG ERRAN7
SOUGHT HERE

Has anyone seen peg-legged
man hobbling about Washington?
Inspector William S. Shelby, chief
of detectives, today sent look
out to all precincts for such a
man, after receiving a tear
spotched letter beseeching that he
be located.
The communication, written with
a pencil in an awkward but legible
hand, apparently came from a
young daughter of the cripple,
though it was unsigned.
The letter read:
ITO the Police Department of
Washington, D. c.:
"Will you please locate Pearley
N. Hood as he is needed at home
at once. He left Richmond Sunday
and was headed for Washington,
D. C. Please find him and tell
him to come home.
"Wife is very sick and four little
children crying for their daddy.
Please give me help at once. He
has a peg leg. don't wear any
shoe on 1t at all. Had on a dark
gray suit, light brown hat, light
complexion, dark hair. Tell him
to come home. We will forgive
him.
Now please find daddy as
mother is very bad.
His name is Pearley N. Hood,
211 South Fourth St.. Richmond,
Va
please notify me at once If
you can find him. Will appre-
ciate."

ACCUSE MAN Of
MEDAL THEFT

Charged with robbery, Jack Kelly,
of the Mount Vernon Hotel, was
held under $4,000 bond for action
of the Grapd jury in Police Court
today.
Manuel Vilchez. butler at the
Argentine Embassy, accused Kelly
of snatching from him a medal
which he received for 10 years of
faithful service" to a wealthy
family in Spain.
Vilchez cannot speak English.
Policeman William r. Sheetz, who
recently attracted attention because
he marked parking tickets with
the legend, "Pull unavailing," to-
day occupied the spotlight as a
translator and was commended by
Judge Ralph Given.
Sheetz is veteran of the Marine
Corps and worked seven years for
an oil company in South America.
Sheetz told reporters he felt he
had counteracted some of his un.
desirable publicity, after the court
commended him for his expertness
as linguist.
Vilchez told the court, through
Sheetz. that the priced medal was
snatched from him while he was
walking In front Of the White
House last night.

NEW YORK, April 16.--With
tendencies to initiation inherent in
our huge gold boards and new
banking methods, the country was
fortunate that the resultant re-
cent speculation was limited to
securities, and did not spread to
land and commodities.
Accordingly, such overexpan-
sion as may have taken place
can be much more readily cor
rected than In 1920, when the
and commodities. AS a matter Of
fact. commodity prices are now
lower on the average than at
the beginning of 1923. The new
wealth and credit resources of the
country were employed during
this period to expand industrial
operations, not to initiate COM
modify prices.
Warning to Bulls
Col. Leonard P. Ayres, eco
nomic soothsayer of the Cleve-
land Trust Company, in his cur
rent monthly bulletin, does not
hold out much hope for the
stock market bull. He cites rea-
sons why the rediscount rate
should be advanced. He points
out that the initiation of credit
has been much larger than the
mere figures indicate.
This is a period" he contends,
"of increasingly intense credit
Of a progressively more rapid
turnover of bank credit rather
than that of an important growth
in the volume of bank loans and
deposits. The development of
this initiation is closely related
to stock speculation. The term
initiation as used here may be
considered as meaning the expan-
sion of credit use at a rate dis
tinctly more rapid than the rate
Of growth in the production and
consumption of useful goods"
The Cleveland economist added:
Prices Doubled
"At the close of 1928 the public
was paying twice as much for
share of stock representing earn
ings of given amount as 1t was
willing to pay in 1924, or 1925 or
1926. This is a change that has
taken place in the mind Of the
public rather than in the profits
of the companies"
The opposing school of thought,
which holds that the Federal
Reserve should eschew credit re-
striction and maintain a hands-off
policy toward the stock market,
is ably articulated by Waddill
Catchings. president of the Cold
man Sachs Trading and Financial
Company, and his literary partner,
William T. Foster. head of the
Pollak Foundation. They con
tend that the present policy repre-.
sents a grave interference with
the rights of private enterprise.
Even some officials of the Federal
Reserve conceded that their policy
Is an experiment in managed cur
rency, instead of in the free and
uncontrolled working out Of
economic forces.

NEW YORK, April 8,--Mortgage
bond Issues made better showing to-
day than convertihles. This fellows out
trend that has developed In the past
week, when more confident buying of
FIRST and second grade corporation
securities has appeared in the market
at the same time that q heavy tone
IN stocks has brought reaction TO some
OF the leading convertihles.
The best rallies have occurred in the
hrst and second grade rails with 4 and
y per cent coupons. 1t amounts to
IL to "a points compared with the
low level established around March IS.
Conspicuous in the improvement have
been such issues as the new Chesapeake
d Ohio Alas, Frisco Is and 415s, Penn
sylvania 4s4s, Union Pacific 4l2s, Mis-
souri, Kansas Texas Is, Canadian Pa
cific As, st. Paul 4las, Erie general Is,
Great Northern 4iaS, Missouri Pacific
os, Southern Pacific %12s and Texas
Pacific and Wabash SIS.
The institutions have been the larR.
est buyers, but generally at their own
prices. The improvement in this Sec
ton of the market has checked inStitu-
tional selling, although there are even
now some rather larged-sized blocks of
bonds in the street. A number of 5
per cent listed public utilities have
moved up as well as some of the UNI
listed 412s,
There are remaining, however, quite
number OF weak spots among the new
offerings. This is reflected in the large
number OF quite abrupt declines in
prices last week in this group of un-
digested bonds, which includes not only
American corporation issues, but the
obligations Of wide range of foreign
governments and foreign corporations
At the opening today railroad con-
vertibleS were favorably affected by the

Ohio case. Allegheny Corporation SIS
and Atchison Alps each advanced q
point. Before midday both showed .
net decline of q point. At the same
time Anaconda Copper rs We're off 3

about / u points. A new low price was
reached on Cuba Cane Sugar IS at q
discount of 81 points from the figure at
which they are supposed to be paid of

Of these notes ranged from May is,

pectation is that before the first of the
notes fall due, money rates will be ma
terially lower and that the institution
buying these tax-exempt notes at a net
yield Of better than 81 per cent will
profit more than If it kept its funds on
call during similar period. All United
