The Market Outlook
By JAMES E. CLEWs

New York, Nov 19-There is not very much to be said of the stock
 market at present as 1t is between hay and grass. Attempts to lower prices below a certain range do not meet with much success. The req son for this lies in the fact that there is no liquidation of conse- quence taking place; on the other hand buyers appear unwilling to sponsor any sustained advance. The markets present inconesquential up and down movements are brought about by the. in and out transactions of traders who find that there are some good pickings in pursuing the policy of buying one day and selling the next day or vice versa; and this will probably be the program followed for the immediate future--unti1 business recovery makes greater progress or governmental development on home and foreign matters are more fully disclosed.

 His death threatened to throw the balance of power in the forth- coming short session of congress to the democrats. The apparent victory in Colorado of Karl C.. Schuyler, republican, had assured the republicans a one vote major ity at the December session.
 Governor Roland H. Hartley, a republican, had been a political foe of Senator Jones and there was speculation today whether he would appoint q republican or democrat to complete the term, which expires next March.
 Jones was co-author of the dras- tic "Jones five-and-ten" act, which put teeth in the federal prohibi- ton enforcement laws, and long had been prohibition leader. Washington voted unfavorably to- ward prohibition last week, how ever, and the elderly senator was left stunned by the outcome. his friends said.

 Discovered Alive

has been discovered that he clipped all items relating to his own case, placing them on his dresser with a rock as paperweight.
 Thursday he left heme. 1t was learned, carrying his only other Fsuit of clothes on his back. to spend the night at the cabin of a Cherokee Indian, Will Ross. Mean while Q 13-year-old Whittier boy, |C. Fisher, who had seen Robins picture in the November 13 issue of the weekly publication Grit. noted the resemblance of Robins and informed authorities.
 When Robins returned from his visit to Ross the federal agents took him in custody.
 Drier, the nephew, was positive in his Identification, but author ities decided to hold Robins under guard until the arrival of his wife. Some speculation was caused by reports that Robins frequently Iwent to the postoffice at Sylva, IF miles from here, to inquire for mall and to draw money from postal savings account. Walter D. War ren, the postmaster, recalled Robins visits, but could not state whether he ever drew out money.
 "FIe was in here every day or two, nearly always dressed in over- aIIs, a cap, and carrying long, heavy walking stick" Warren said. If he Kept any money here in the postal savings, I don't know about fit. The postal savings Is a pretty popular depository, however, and he could have had an account here.'
 There was an unconfrmed re- port that Robins had injured a leg during his stay in the moun- tains.
 When Robins disappeared Presi- dent Hoover himself sponsored the search for him. The department of justice was instructed to use every resource at it's corcmand to find him. His activities against bootleggers and rum runners led to rumors that he had been Kidnapped and killed. Mrs Robins also ex- pressed fear for his safety.
 Early this week in Boston g prisoner told authorities that g New Jersey rum runner had killed Robins and disposed of his body 40 miles at sea. Little credence wal 1 attached to the statement after in. vestigation.
 Il However, an Atlanta, Ga, news Ipaper published Robins picture if
 connection with the story. and Brandon and Gibbs, the two agents
 hunting stills in this vicinity, saw
 it. Consequently when they net

 Mrs Robins, on her way. from her winter home at Brooksville, Fla. was expected to join her hus- band to-day after the long separa- ton during which she maintained her belief that her distinguished husband was still alive.
 Robins was reported to be In good health.
 The officials who found the noted prohibition protagonist, friend of three presidents including Theo- dore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover, maintained a close guard over Robins when he was brought into the rooming house of Bob McHan from his shack in the wilds. The actual discovery of Colonel Robins was made by J. F. Kanipe, a prohibition agent, one of the thousand special detectives who had been called in on the case after Robins strange disappearance. Two federal prohibition agents, hunting moonshiners in the Car | olina mountains. had the picture of | the missing colonel in their minds. As a scouting party, including | Charles Branton and Ray Gibbs came upon Robins near his shack, they noticed the resemblance tc photographs that had been sent out from Washington.
 They reported to Kanipe q, Asheviile, who secretly informed members of Robins family and late last night completed the iden. tification. | The inhabitants of Whittier and
