j. S. BOND ISSUES
SHARPLY HIGHER
Junior Rails and Industrials
Turn IrreguIar-For-
eign List Firm. :.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September limited
States Government long-term bonds
strong today. Municipal bonds were
also sharply higher, led by City of New
York issues while high-grade corpora
ton obligations we're firm to fraction
ally higher. Junior railroad and in
dustrial issues were inclined to irreg
q ularity and heaviness in places. For
eign dollar bonds were steady.
Junior railroad bonds. though still
receiving substantial support on all re-
actions. were affected by the uncer-
taintu existing in regard to the railroad
situe ton, but not alone with respect to
earnings. Sentiment has also been in
f1uenced by the procrastinating att1-
tude of the relief authorities In individ-
ual situation, which. if promptly dealt
with. would substantially help the
market.
The delay by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation in approving the
loan of s31 ,625, 900 to the Baltimore d
Ohio, which was granted by the Inter-
Q state Commerce Commission on August
19, is seriously handicapping the COM
pany'S plan of meeting its March, 1888.
maturity and carrying out the proposed
terms, which are considered extremely
attractive to holders of these bonds.
The application requested the imme-
diate payment of $6,325,000 and the
remainder on or about December Is.
The first amount was to be used as
an inducement for prompt assent to
the plan, as under it each holder OF a
81 900 bond would receive. by Septem-
Der Is, 10 per cent of the principal
amount in cash. Later, If the assents
were in a satisfactory amount, it was
proposed to pay on December Is, two
and half months before maturity, an
. additional 40 per cent in cash.
1t is obvious that the longer the r.
r. C. delays approval. the more diff
cult it will be for the Baltimore & Ohio
to carry out its proposal under which.
by December Is, the holder OF each
bond would be receiving so per cent
. of the principal amount in cash which
might have a higher purchasing power
at that time, either in securities or in
commodities, than on March l.
The feeling that the Baltimore &
Ohio financing had been taken care
of, which developed after the I. C. C.
granted its approval, is beginning to
fade and to have some effect not only
on the securities involved, but on others.
In this list are Frisco 412s, Nickel Plate
IS, Missouri-Pacific IS, Erie IS and
higher-grade types such as Great
Northern Is, New York Central AIS,
Southern Pacific 4l2s and Southern
Railway 6las.
Industrials were mostly steady, with
good buying in Dodge Brothers IS.

Los Angeles Judge Denounces

LOS ANGELES, March IA bitter
judicial excoriation of kidnapping ac-
companied the sentencing yesterday of
Ralph Sheldon, Luis Frank and Jesse
Orsatti to from 10 years to life in
prison for an abduction here in De-
cember of 1880.
Declaring kidnapping to be of equal
seriousness and equal malignancy with
murder itself" Superior Judge Charles

trial. He said he would recommend to
the State Prison Board that the SEN

three men, that any one of you would
care to face any of your victims OH

rule are yellow.
Hopes for Life Term.
Il think kidnapping is one of the
most cowardly of crimes, and l sin
cerely trust that the Prison Board will
keep you in the penitentiary for the
rest of your natural lives.
The crime of kidnapping is of par
ticular wickedness when you consider
the grief and sorrow that is caused, not
only to the victims, but to the families
of the victims. 1t seems to me that
the law is exceedingly merciful in fix
ing the maximum penalty at life i'm

VENTURA BURNS AND SINKS OFF CARLSON CREEK
Capt. George Baggen and
 Two Others Escape Without Injury

Fire destroyed ...le gasboat Ven- tura early yesterday afternoon when she was in Gastineau Channel off . Carlson Greek on her way from Annex Creek to Juneau. The burned hulk sank, and the craft lis a total loss. Those aboard at stIhe time, Capt. George Baggen, skipper and owner; his son Louis Baggen and another man, put off in a skiff from the blazing vessel and reached shore without injury. They were taken to Annex Creek, and later were brought to this city. The Ventura was valued at $3,000. She was insured for $2,500 with a company represented by Allen Shattuck, Inc.
 Fire Followed Explosion
 When the fire started in the engine room of the vessel, Capt. Baggen and the two others aboard of her were in the pilot house. A cracked cylinder is supposed to have caused an explosion which immediately was followed by the flames
 Those on the craft attempted to extinguish the blaze with fire extinguishers.
 The flames were observed from Annex Creek and a small boat equipped with an outboard motor put out from there for the scene of the blaze. The craft took Capt Baggen and his two compa nions from the shore near Carlson Creek 1 to Annex Creek There, Capt. Baggen telephoned to Capt. Tom Smith of the Yakobi of Juneau and Capt. Smith with the Yakobi went to Annex Creek and brought the sflipwrecked trio to this city.
