|. A. POLICE
And DEPUTIES
IN BIG ROW

LOS ANGELES, Oct. ,. U.Pl-A
bitter battle between the Los An
geles county sheriff's office and the
city police department had broken
out today on the heels of the as
serted refusal of police officers tc
surrender two alleged bank bandits
arrested for a crime committed III
the county.
The central figures in the show
down" battle were Emmett Perkins
and Roy Cant. accused of burglary
kidnapping and bank robbery in con-
nection with the $50, 700 holdup OF
the Belvedere Gardens branch
Security First National bank last
August.
Capt. Norris Stenslaud of the
sheriff's office declared today
he would seek contempt of
court citation against Chief OF
Detectives Joe Taylor for Tay-
lor's asserted refusal TO surren-
der Perkins and Cant.
You fellows will just have to wait
until were through with this case, -
Taylor told Stensland when the lat
ter presented warrants to him ior
the pair.
Stensland termed the arrest Of
Perkins and Cant in the county
territory for a county bank robbery,
a double cross put over by the po-
lice to get the $500 reward offered
for the arrest and conviction of the
robbers"
From now on" Stensland
warned, we'll work alone, and we'll
investigate every tip we get or
felony cases in police territory"
Police meanwhile declared that
witnesses had identified Perkins and
Cant as the men who assertedlv
shot and killed Nathan Black. 10
year old messenger boy, in a S10,-
900 holdup July % They were
booked on an additional count of
of murder.
The kidnapping charge against the
pair was the result of their asserted
ly forcing Joe Fisher. messenger boy
who discovered the robbers enter
ing the bank, TO accompany them
into the vault while they awaited
arrival of employees.

bers of the mob shouted down
with the baby starverS," mean
ing the national government
ministers who reduced the
dole"
Arranged originally as a demon
stration against the 10 per cent re-
duction in the dole the unem-
ployed gathering soon got out Of
hand, tore park railings from GlaS-
gov Green, and marched through
the streets using the rsilings as
weapons. They smashed shop WIN
doWs and street lights before po-
lice charged the demonstrators.
John McGovern, Laborite member
of parliament, who organized Tho
demonstration, was arrested with
six others on charges of disorderly
conduct.
The meeting was intended as Il
protest against the refusal Of the
town council to appeal to the na-
tional government against reduc-
tions in the dole. McGovern, with
a bodyguard of four men armed
with sticks, was preparing 10 lead
the unemployed demonstration
through the city when police IN
spectors arrived and announced the
parade would not be permitted.
The crowd grew ugly. 1t started
smashing windows. MCGovern was
removed forcibly to nearby police
station. His arrest was the signal
for general rioting.
Rioting was renewed in the city
this morning and many shops were
completely wrecked. Lootlng 1000
stores seemed TO be the chief OBJ
iectives of the rioters.

corporations holdings. Giannini
quickly gave his answer.
II am only superficially informed
regarding the asset values OF the
institutions involved Giannini said
of the merger, and because of that
have not either approved or dis
approved it
Il can only hope that the stock
holders of Transamerica Corpora
ton will be given voice with re-
gard to ultimate disposition by
Transamerica, il any, of its hold
ings in the merged institutions.
This is probably the time for me
to serve those in charge with notice
that I shall exert my best efforts
TO see that this is done
Reminding his opponents that
the Associated Transamcrica
stockholders has been organ
lied here, Giannini revealed
that its first activity was to re-
quest the corporation to agree
not TO dispose of Bank of Am
erica in California. il largest
subsidiary. for at least a year.
He was inferentially answered
later in a statement by President
James A. Bacigalupi of Transamer-
ica that the California bank IS not
for sale and Will not be sold to
outside interests.
Would Distribute Stock
1T also was asked that the board
agree that in any future disposi-
ton the bank stock be surrendered
to the stockholders by means of a
free distribution Giannini said.
1T is my understanding with re-
gard to the stock Of the Bank of
America in New York, or of any
institutions with which 1t might
merge, that the association has re-
quested that the right of purchase
of such stock be given to the
stockholders OF Transamerica with
the understanding, however, that
such stock might be used as col
lateral.
THE association has also asked
for assurance that the security
companies connected with each Of
the above mentioned banks will be
disposed of only upon the best terms
procurable for the advantage OF
Transamerica stockholders.
"In my opinion these are very
modest demands, and repre-
sent assurances which the cor
poration, If 1t is truly interested
~ nAv.fiIavnn
of Transamerica stockholders,
could readily give. II seems to
me that a mere statement of
these demands should convince
all fair minded persons that
they are not, in any way, in
compatible with the best inter-
ests of Transamerica.'
Giannini ended with an open
charge that Chairman Walker
lacked good faith in the trans
actions.
Il do not want the activities of
the association to be considered IN
any way limiting or redistricting
my future courses of action with
regard to giving the stockholders,
and to the people OF the state OF
California, my reasons for feeling
that good faith has not been kept
with Transamerica stockholders by
the Walker management
Strong Bank
President Bacigalupi's statement
of the merger described the result
ant bank as one of the strongest
and most important in the country"
closely approaching the Chase Ma
tional Bank in size.
Pointing out that the consolida-
ton was in line with the holding
company's plans TO release its con-
troll OF subsidiaries, Bacigalupi said
the underlying purpose 'is to re-

ACTIVITY IN STEEL
PLANTS IRREGULAR
Some Mills Shut Down Dur
ing Holiday Period-Cop-
per Buying Light. &
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 3l.-Steel
mill schedules developed considerable
irregularity last week owing to holiday
shutdowns in some sections, while IN
others activity has been sustained at
recent rates.
For the industry as a whole, trade
estimates placed ingot production at
about q per cent of capacity or less, al
though finishing plants continued to
work on orders. While moderate buy
ing was reported 1t was chiefly for jan
uary delivery, with the recent disinclt-
nation to add to year-end inventories
still factor. If anything, the under
tone was easier, with concessions re-
ported for sheets, and recent reduced
prices continuing in other products, al
though some efforts to hold first-quar-
ter prices steady are reported. Demand
for pig iron was stagnant.
Recent buying in copper in anticipa-
ton of curtailment agreements by world
producers was not maintained following
the formal announcement by approxi-
mately 80 per cent of the industry for
production at about 26l2 per cent Of
capacity effective January l, 1892. The
earlier demand came chiefly from for
etgn consumers, but domestic buying
continued light with pre-holiday in
fluences restricting demand. The price
held steady at ia cents for electrolytic
delivered in the Connecticut Valley.
No fresh developments were reported
in the tin market. Buyers continued
to withhold purchases and the market
remained stagnant, in sharp contrast
to activity at London Prices were
nominally higher in sympathy with the
foreign market.

BANKS EXPECTED TO REPORT
BIG u. S. SECURITY HOLDINGS
Year-End Statements Likely to Reveal
Highest Ratio of Government Bonds to
Deposit Liabilities in History.

3ls per cent bonds, that were sold last
June and went to a substantial pre-
MUM but are now at a discount Of
about IA per cent from par, the return
is above 460 per cent. On the 3s, sold
in September and today l6 points under
the original price, the return is 445
per cent.
The 3 per cent certificates due next
September give corporation yield of
429 per cent and the December IS
issue Of 314s return Of 435 per cent.
Going into the field of quasi Govern
ment obligations it will be found that
the yield to maturity on IL of the IA
outstanding issues Is approximately
per cent or better while the return of
these same obligations if held by
corporation, amounts to from per
cent to about IA per cent on four
issues and from $40 per cent to 634
per cent on the remaining 10 descrip-
tionS. The Government has recently
emphasized its interest in and support
of the Federal Land Bank situation
through an act of Congress that will
add $l00, 100000 to the capital of these
banks
Market Readjustment.
Every class of interest bearing
securities is Influenced in price and in
yield by the action of United States
Government bonds and Treasury certif1-
Gates. Consequently, the market for
other tax-exempt securities, such as
State and municipal bonds. has been
going through readjustment compelled
by the decline in Governments. High
grade corporation bonds that are tax
able must in turn accommodate them
selves to conditions in the higher
credit schedules, so declines have been
taking place in the best types of rail-
road and public utility mortga ges.
Eventually the effect Of weakness at
the top penetrateS into the lower
stratas of the investment market and
has its final effect on prices for spec
ulatiVe stocks.
There is the same confidence that
liquidation in Government securities
will be reduced, If not entirely checked,
when the year-end tax selling Is COM
pleted as had been held by those an
ticipating better conditions In the cor
poration bond market next month. On
the other hand, not little concern is
felt over the position of the Govern
ment with respect to its increasing
deficit and the possibility that it NAV
be obliged to bring out additional
amounts Of short-term loans early next
year and in spite of the difficulty now
being experienced in absorbing those
that have been offered within recent
months.
