SEEK INJUNCTION
 FOR B0B'S FIRMS
Evidence Concerning Misuse of
 Mails Given to Attorney

New York, Oct. 20 LFp---An in junction to restrain two companies of Charles V. Bob from further stock sales was sought by the state today after Watson Washburn, as- sistant attorney general, said in- vestors face possible loss of $12,- 000,00O.
 Bob disappeared 10 days ago after leaving his private airplane at the municipal airport in Chicago. He has been sought by officials Of the state bureau of securities for questioning in an Investigation of Metal and Mining Shares, Inc, and Rainbow Luminous Products. Inc.
 Washburn said about S6,O00,000 of the loss will probably be accounted for by the collapse of Metal and Mining Shares, an investment trust, of which Bob is president.
 He said although Rainbow Lumin- ous Products, Inc, in which Bob is a director, is believed to be solvent, the loss to the public would "proba- ply be greater than that caused by Metal and Mining Shares, Inc"
 Henry B. Staples, deputy assistant attorney general, who prepared the injunction petition for presentation in Brooklyn supreme court today also planned 10 turn over to acting United States Attorney Robert E. Manley, such evidence as he has collected in reference to misuse of the mails by Bob and his concerns for possible action by a federal grand jury.

"You know, expeditions such as Dr.

are highly problematic. Furthermore,
however successful they are, 1t takes q

may have thought that DR.. Bliss was
on an extravagant wild-goose chase at
his expense. Fact Is, he intimated last
year that unless some definite results
were obtained during the new excava-
tons he'd not go on doing out money
That was why the doctor was so anx-
ious last night to present a financial
report and to have Kyle see the new
treasures that arrived yesterday"
There was nothing personal in
Kyle's attitude?"
