Vigorous Rally in Late Trad

Losses.
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August l3.-Although
making new lows on the reaction, the
stock market today left off with ire
gular price changes after rallying vigor-
ously in the last quarter of an hour.
Trading was in large volume and the
market was nervous from start to fin
ish. The best that could be said was
that 1t acted according to precedent
after so sudden a interruption to the
upward movement.
Buyers who had been waiting for a
break to enter the market collided with
sellers. liquidating voluntarily or other
wise, at the opening. The result was a
confused price movement Then when
the overnight orders had been executed,
renewed pressure was exerted against
the entire list and new lows on the set
BACK were reached all along the line.
outside news was ignored, the mar
ket's only concern being its own tech
nical position. There were few excep-
tions but only a few. For the most part
1t was a question whether the decline
would continue with fresh impetus or
whether it could be checked by new
demand. Specifically, American Tele-
phone & Telegraph at 103 in the Sec
ond hour was down over 3 points on
the day and over Is points from its re-
cent high. United States Steel COM
mon breaking through 81 was of z
points from its top on the rally but only
little over a point on the day.

 The Government, as, pointed out by United States Attorney H. D. Stabler in his opening address today contended that Graham took the car there as soon as McGee left it, and parked in there near an alleyway that McGee intended to use after he escaped from the bank. He argued that Graham was stationed there to pick up McGee and help him escape and that when he heard the shots, realizing the robbery had gone awry, he sped away
 Denies Was There
 Graham, on the stand, denied emphatically he was parked there. He said at about the time men toned by Price, probably few minutes earlier he was in his au- tomobile on Second Street at the Capitol Electric Shop, and that Price probably had seen him there instead of on Franklin Street. Graham contended that he had heard from some source that he could not recall of McGee's shoot ing before he left town, and, also, that Dan Ralston had been wound- ed, and that he had told Mrs. Lamb so.. The latter disputed that version saying he had mentioned only McGee.
 Folta Closes Case
 Asst. United States Attorney C.. w. Folta closed the case this af- ternoon with the Governments final argument. He declared the evidence had proved conclusively that Graham was implicated in the robbery, and that even his own story was not consistent with his

DETROIT, October 10.-Secret serv-
ice operatives yesterday seized plates
and a printing press to which, they
said, had been traced many counterfeit
IS and $40 bills found in circulation
recently in the East and the Middle
West.
Two men were arrested. They gave
their names as Tom Evanoff, SO, and
Tom Ali, both of Detroit. The print
ing press and plates were found, the
officers said, in Evanoff's room in the
lodging house
Bert Brown. chief of the secret service
here, said the arrests climaxed nine
months search which was started with
the arrests of three men in Pittsburgh
for passing bogus currency.
Brown said the plates and the press
were among the best he had ever seen.
The press worked SO silently, he said.
that others in the lodging house could
not hear it working.
Evanoff, Brown said. was the printer,
and Ali the distributor. The officers
said they found 500 bogus bills of 81
denomination under a mattress in
Evanoff's room.
Brown said the men followed the
custom of counterfeiters in not circu-
l9ting the spurious currency in the city
were it was made.
