NEW YORK, March l9.-Many
small traders, frightened away by
recessions and the October crash,
came back today and whipped the
stock market into semblance of one
of the old time bull markets.

behind more than thirty minutes.
Crowds in brokerage houses were
not converSant with actual con-
ditions on the floor because the
tickers were SO far behind. Call
money went down to per cent, the
lowest price in five years
Naturally with so much activity
and with a booming market many
of the traders made profit-taking
sales in the afternoon and the early
highs receded somewhat.
But the sales were not of Suffi-
Gent magnitude to stop the mar
ket and many issues held parts OF
their early gains.
United States Steel led the list
into higher ground, reaching 1879,
up 34 points before noon. Other
leading issues rose 1 to points
and the whole market followed.
Extra Wires Are Set Up
Brokers set up extra wires to ac-
commodate the orders coming in
from all parts of the country.
Utilities moved up with the indus
trials, featured by American Tele-
phone and Telegraph which rose

The kidnapping, which occurred on
Market street between Illinois
street and Monument Circle, was
one of several sensational robberies
in downtown indianapolis late IN
January and early in February.
No evidence has been unearthed
to implicate Gerard as one OF the
conspirators, Stark said.
Confession Is Claimed
Miss Hayes, who said she had
gone with" Gerard for some time,
is alleged to have confessed that
Preston and Ruddell met in her
apartment and plotted the robbery
several weeks before it took place.
One third of the loot, $1,356,
which she said she received as her
share, was recovered today in the
home of two of her sisters. Ruddell
is said to have purchased new au-
tomobile with his share, and Preston
told Stark and the detectives that
he spent a portion OF his allot-
ment.
On two Mondays previous to the
kidnapping, the trio rehearsed their
plans, according to Stark.
Miss Hayes, employe at a soda
fountain in the traction terminal,
accompanied Gerard on his weekly
trips to the bank.
On Market street she paused that
morning to gaze at a display of
hats in shop window, and Preston
and Ruddell drove to the curb near
by, she related, stark said. Ruddell
approached Gerard, and ordered
him and Miss Hayes into the ma
chine, she is said to have confessed
today.
Left in Well House
Driving north of the city on the
Millersville road, the bandits bound
Gerard and Miss Hayes with win
dow sash cord which she said she
furnished, and left them in an old
we'll house, resembling a cave, with
a knife with which they freed them
selves in an hour.
Later in the day, Stark said Miss
Hayes confessed, she met Preston
and Ruddell in PrestonS home and
they split the money.
Charges were not placed against
the trio this morning, pending fur

slain pioneer preacher who met
death in Indian warfare in the
Black Hills 81 years ago will be
delivered August 10 as services in
memory of his death.
On the morning of August 20,
1876, Reverend Henry Smith set
out to walk to Crook City to preach
to miner friends. Indians in the
hills of the wilderness territory
were on the warpath and he was
urged not to make the journey.
Holding up his Bible, Smith said {:
'This is my protection. It has new
er failed me and I am not afraid
to put my trust tit -~--,-
But Smith had only gone five
miles on his journey when he was
overtaken by marauding band of
braves who attacked and killed him.
Later his body was found and
brought to Deadwood.
The entire frontier town turned
out for the funeral of the man who
had given his life in an effort to
deliver his message.
Each year since that time memoir
ial services have been conducted on
this spot where Smith was killed.
A monument has been erected. The
sermon Smith. had prepared was
found in his pocket and each year
is read at the memorial services.

Later as the city grew more met
ropolitan, newspapers and news
standards improved and the work
wasn't quite so strenuous"
The most tragic and also most
dramatic event that occurred in
Minneapolis while Charles Hendryx
was on The Tribune, he says was
the explosion of the Washburn A.
mill in 1873. This disaster killed IA
men, while five other mills were
wrecked by the blast or burned in
the fire that broke out.
I was city editor then and we
had a big staff-three reporters"
Mr.. Hendryx said. 1--WE all got busy
and stayed that way for three days.
1 think we had little time to eat
and steep but it wasn't much. The
explosion rocked the whole town
including the newspaper offices:
II remember rushing out without
a hat and all my reporters racing
after me to see what had happened
We got there in about minute to
find a scene of unimaginable con-
fusion and horror. But we had
good stories, even judged by mod
ern standards" .... 49,.
In 1880 after spending some six
years in newspaper work in Mime,
apolis, Mr.. Hendryx left The Trib-
une and moved to Sank Centre
There he purchased the Herald and
served as it's publisher and editor
until $685. Asa Wallace, now edi'
tor of the Herald and one Of the
veterans of Minnesota, journalism,
was just about breaking in" as q
cub Mr.. Hendryx says.
Today this newspaper man OF
frontier days in Minneapolis is 80
but keen, alert and vigorous as: the
average man of IS. He says he has
trouble remembering dates Of the
many stirring events in his long
and busy career, but to one CONVEX
sing with him his mental keeness is
remarkable. = .>--.-.:...'r-. -.
Mr.. Hendryx says that he has
given up trying to keep up with the
modern developments in newspaper
work, along the line Of mechanical
speed and efficiency. In frontier
times he says they had telegraph
service for news but is was sort
of crude, unreliable affair. 49,
4 The wire didn't amount. to much
