BOND ROW ENDS
ON NEW PLAN

The crisis of the bond tangle
at Police Court appeared past to-
day, following thhe issuance of an
order Saturday night by Major
Henry G. Pratt, superintendent
Of police, for police to place only
one charge against a man at the
time of arrest.
This will result in a lower bond
than has been the case when
several charges were placed
against nearly every suspect
arrested.
The action of the chief Of
police followed a long discussion
which began last Monday with
the refusal of Prosecutor Hart 70
make out papers on 13 alleged
rum cases, because of warrantless
raids or lack of evidence. At
that time Hart suggested lower
bonds, to which Major Pratt re-
piled that the police had nothing
to do with setting bonds. Hart
declared, however, that should
the police discontinue the practice
of placing numerous unsupport-
able charges against persons
arrested, the bonds would auto
matically be less.
The discussion finally led to
the rumor of collusion between
the police and professional bonds.
men. This has caused Milton
Kronheim, president of the Pro-
fessional Bondsmen's Association,
to announce that he will ask
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover for an investigation of
the matter.
Hart declared Saturday that
police co-operated 100 per cent
in his effort to book fewer but
better cases." After Monday.
fewer cases came in, and all but
cne held water" out of the total
for the remainder of the week.

Vanadiun1

Vanadiu1n certainly looked sick
yesterday, closing off more than
6 points OH the report that it
had operated at a loss in July.
I told my readers some time ago
to stay away from the stock, de-
claring then that it was selling
too high on profits from actual
operations and that well-informed
interests considered its prospects
exaggerated.
Vanadium is just one of those
fine speculative mediums for
prof ssio nails and day-to-day
traders. It is too dangerous fol
the man on the street. It may
develop sensational earning power
some day, but there seems to be
no reason for anticipating any
thing Of the sort until the COM
pany can actually show some
thing. -
I am told that fixed trusts
have been heavy buyers of stocks
in the last two weeks. There has
also been considerable scale buy
ing in the high4grade dividend
paying issues. In general, the
street is agreed that the buying
of T.te has been better than the
selling except in individual weak
spots.

RAILROAD ADDS
EQUIPMENT

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The ne
cessity of preparing now for fu-
ture improvement in business is
emphasized in statement made
today by v. v. Boatner, president
of the Chicago Great Western
railroad. The Great Western,
according to its president, is con-
tinuing on its aggressive 1880
program of improvement despite
the general reduction in traffic
volume and revenues which has
hit all railroads. Large equip
ment purchases. increased main
tenance work, and steps to i'm
prove the operating efficiency
and economy of the road have
been vigorously prosecuted since
the first of the year.
Boatner said:
"Our attitude is best evi.
denced by the fact that we
have just ordered Is new heavy
freight locomotives for delivery
in November. This order was
a duplicate of one filled earlier
this year, and will give the
Great Western 80 of the latest
type locomotives, capable of
handling a substantially addi-
tional volume of traffic. We
expect to not only improve
service, but effect additional
economies through the opera
tiOn of this new power equip
ment.
Maintenance and improve
ment work has beenacOnducted
on an increased scale since the
first of the year. While the
Great Western has suffered
from smaller revenues along
with other railroads, we have
the utmost confidence in
return of prosperity and the
further development of the
territory we serve.

A Sound Stock

Interests bullish on Liggett
and Myers assert that it is
selling out of line. They point
out that earnings on the stock
this year will be about that on
the American Tobacco new issues,
approximately $3.50 share: that
the dividend rate is about the
same, yet Liggett and Myers is
selling at a discount of more
than 26 points.
OF course, American Tobacco
is setting the pace for the to-
bacco companies in sales and
earnings this year. Liggett and
Myers, however, has excellent
management and a high invest
ment rating. I believe it's a good
buy around current levels. 1t
has been acting much better
market-wise in the last week.
American Telephone is one of
the best on the big board. Around
current levels it is only slightly
more than 10 points above it's
low for the year and over so
points below it's high. 1t has
been well bought for some time.
There won't be any ride in the
market without a corresponding
advance in telephone. which gives
the stock both safety and specu-
lative appeal.
