AUTOMOBILE, PURSE STOLEN TOGETHER
Owners Enter Filling Station, Then Find Them Missing
SUSPECT MANS FRIENDS
Nix-Up in Reporting to Police Pre- vents Action - Couple Married Seven Years-Report Seeing Body in Riyer-Berlin Items.

The old saying that one cannot trust even ones own friends was brought home to two persons yester 'tay afternoon when Samuel Bycel of s39 Banner avenue, Brooklyn, lost his automobile and Mrs. Albina Ko- walewski of 50 Governor street, New Britain, found her purse con- taining s44 missing after having stopped at gas station on the turn pike.
 Bycel, in company with three Of his friends, stopped at gasoline sta- tion just north of the Meriden line to fill his gas tank and when he came out of the station where he had gone to make payment he was astonished to find that his car was gone. Mrs. Kowalewski had pulled into the sta tion a short time after Bycel for the some purpose and when she returned to her car she made the discovery that her purse, which she had left on the front seat of the car, had also disappeared.
 The two victims compared notes and came to the conclusion that the occupants of the Byccl car had made off with the purse, as no one else was around at the time other than the owner of the station, and both were certain that he had been busy.
 Despite the fact that the losso1 happened in the town of Berlin, both parties went to the Meriden police station to report them. After hear ing the stories of the two, the Meri- den police were wont to believe that Bycel's companions were responsible for the loss of the purse and that they had decided to use the car ot their friend to assure their get away
 Local police denied any knowledge of the affair today, while Merider police are taking no action because the affair was out of their jurisdic- ton.

|STOCK PRICES GAIN
AT SHORT SESSION
Market Moves Forward De-
spite Sporadic Outbreaks
of Selling.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March S.-Despite
realizing, which was heavy at times
and which produced an appearance OF
irreRularity, practically all the features
in today's week end market were on
the side of advance. The leaders were
found in the utility and industrial parts
of the list. Rails were dull and neg
lected.
The market was encouraged by Pres
ident Hoovers statement on the I'M
proyement in the unemployment sltua-
ton and it was helped by the modined
optimism in the weekly trade reviews.
Cotton went to new lows for the sea-
son early in the day, but the Stock
Market paid little attention to COM
modities.
Steel stocks were prominent right
from the start. Bethlehem Steel, which
had been SO strong yesterday, rose
to new high levels for the year in con-
nection with merger reports linking 1t
up with Youngstown Sheet &c Tube.
Colorado Fuel g. Iron responded to its
favorable earnings statement and
strength was exhibited by Michigan
Steel and Vanadium.
Two of the old leaders among the in
duStrials made significant gains. One
established a new 1880 peak price, and
another was the ever popular j. I.
Case, also at new high. International
Nickel represented the metal shares
on the upside, evidently the result of
organized buying.
The advance in Warner Bros. Pic
lures kept up, with the group in charge
of the movement never giving the shorts
in that stock a chance to eScape-aS-
Stunning there are shorts in an issue
which has advanced so steadily. Radio
was strong for time and so was Mack
Trucks.
The rank and file of the oils did little,
but there were one or two exceptions.
A block of Mexican 'Seaboard amount
ing to $4,000 shares came out at 26,
up over 3 points and at new years
high, supposedly rejecting develop
ments in Natural Gas, and there was
unusually active buying of Lago Oil
& Transport.

BERLIN B0URSE FIRMER
AFTER SCHACHT INCIDENT

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 8.-The bourse to-
day to a great extent recovered from
yesterdays furry brought on by resig-
nation of DIR. Hjalmar Schacht as
president of the Reichsbank.
Reichsbank shares regained 11h
points; others rose correspondingly. In
some banking circles it was said DR..
Schacht's reasons for resigning were
largely personal. They declared that
he was piqued at finding his advice
recently had seemed to carry less
weight than formerly.
DIR. Schacht called an extraordinary
meeting OF the Reichsbank directorate
for Tuesday afternoon. His successor
will be chosen then.

Utility Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

The advance in the market price of
public utility common stocks to a point
where the yield at present dividend
rates is so small as to be unattractive
to any investor dependent on income
from his securities brings to the front
once more the question of the status Of
the preferred stocks Of these same COM
panies.
No one disputes the basis for the rise
in the utility common stock in so far
as 1t reflects steadily increasing earn
ings. The only point in doubt is how
far this advance can go without check
ing legitimate investment demand.
There must be a level at which the
prospect for capital appreciation is over
balanced by the negligible yield on the
money it takes to buy these common
stocks.
Meanwhile the senior shares of these
same companies have had practically no
gain in the market quotation. The
margin of safety for the. dividend is
higher today than it ever was, but there
has been no reflection of this in the
price of the preferred stocks.
The reason, of course, is that such
stocks have no speculative appeal. The
dividend rate is fixed, and cannot be
changed, and most of these issues are
redeemable at figure not far above the
market. Against these disadvantages,
if they may be called such, is the gen.
erouS return on the investment.
To take only few examples, Colum-
bia Gas preferred, Electric Bond &
Share preferred, American Power &
Light preferred. Alabama Power 81 pre-
ferred, North American per cent pre-
ferred and Philadelphia Co. 6 per cent
preferred all sell to yield from 512 to s
no NH 0IN &c 10
obtained on almost any other security
with equal safety.
The par value of the last two of the
above is $50, so that the stocks sell
lower in dollars per share than do the
others, but that is no reflection on their
rating. OF all those mentioned, the only
one non-callable Is Philadelphia Co. s
per cent preferred, but all are quoted
under their call price.
