CHICAGO, July 15.-Nearly half a
hundred wealthy Chicago residents to-
day were reported under guard and
State troopers and city police were pa
trolling their homes to prevent their
abduction by kidnapers.
The Chicago Tribune said the action
was taken by the Federal Government

leased recently by abductors after pay

prospects kept by his kidnapers and
their busiresslike organization.

Another was John Hertz. sportsman,
who said the day and night guard at
his home was placed there at the re-
quest of the Government. Hertz said
he did not ask for the guards and had
never received threats, but was willing
to cooperate.
Still working on the theory that the
Toughy gang was responsible for the
Factor kidnapping. the newspaper SAID
authorities were securing Cook County
for five men believed to be associated
with the hoodlums.
They are Lawrence Mangano Carl
Fontana, Ernie Rossi, Charles OLeary
and Charles Brown. In addition. the
newspaper said, "Two-Gun Louie Al

considered as important Factors i'm

his abduction and his statement that
his captors told him Il was the first
man to be held in that basement, and
that I would not be the lass."
Factor said they told him they had
list of the men they were going to take
and that every one OF them would
pay.
This is our business" Factor said one
of the men told him. "and it is a good
one. We have it down to science and

DECLINE IN CANADIAN
DOLLAR RATE NOTED
Imitation Talk in Dominion Is Fol-

Currency Value.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 31.-The
anomaly Of declining Canadian ex-
change rates and sagging tendencies of
Dominion bonds, In the face of i'm
provement in the country's foreign
trade, Is attracting attention in financial
cilcles.
The flies in this particular ointment.
in the opinion Of some bankers, are
the recent insistence Of Calgary, Al
berta, on redeeming q debenture issue
of $2,135. 900 in Canadian funds instead
Of American dollars, and renewed agt-
tation in Canada for currency devalu-
alton In order to bring the exchange
more In line with sterling.
The Canadian dollar. from a high Of
80 cents on January 8, is now around
85k cents and, since it's years top,
has been slipping daily Canadian gov
ernment bonds, while displaying more
resistance, are still under their best
prices for the past month or so.
Observers point out that Canada 8
foreign trade balance steadily improved
during 1881 and 1892, mainly at the
expense Of the United States, and that
this factor, coupled with increased pro-
duction and export Of gold, has given
the Northern neighbor . reasonable
equilibrium In current accounts, with
possibly even q slight balance In Can
ada's favor.
Wall Street financial observers feel
that any serious depreciation In the
Canadian dollar rate is improbable, and

flationary reports that have recently

GERMAN MARKETS
ARE HOLDING FIRM
Hitler Appointment Has Not
Resulted in Sacrifice
of Securities.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. January 3l-Within a
few hours Of the first meeting In Berlin
Of the Wiggin Bankers Committee,
scheduled to take up the new terms of
"standstill agreement" on German
short-term credits, announcement was
made of the appointment of Adolf Hit
Ter. leader Of the National Socialist
party, as chancellor of Germany.
A year ago this astonishing event In
German national politics would have
deeply embarrassed these American and
European banking representatives, but
time and a familiarity with economic
and political episodes that once we're
disquieting now permit them to be
viewed calmly. They are not allowed to
obstruct operations already going for
ward for the relief of debtors.
In September 1890, on election day,
when the first wave of Hitlerism swept
over Germany, the bankers we're In a
panic. German securities, the following
week and later, were in q state of COL
lapse. Today the banking world looks
upon a development that In 1890 would
have appeared to be revolutionary as
the natural sequence of political trends
that have been shaping themselves for
ultimate recognition Of the German po-
litical leader who commands the largest
popular vote, and German securities are
no longer being sacrificed to political
eventualities.

STOCKS MARK TIME
in NARROW TRADING
Rail List Firm, Utilities Heavy
and Industriais Very
Quiet.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special D1Spatch 10 Tne Star.
NEW YORK, January 31-Heavi-
ness in the public utilities was the only
noteworthy incident Of today's stock
market, speculation In which was re-
strained by uncertainty surrounding the
United States Steel dividend meeting
held after the close.
Railroad shares gave the best account
OF themseles. Only In this group was
there any advance. Industrials hardly
moved. Pressure against the utilities
was kept up to the end, when 1t affect
ed American Telephone, which had re.
sisted up to the last hour.
Grain markets were firm Wheat
closed unchanged to up Y cent. Cot.
ton was reactionary. Silver sold of
10 to 20 points.
The heaviness in the utilities-it
could hardly be called weakness-was
apparent from the start. Consolidated
Gas and Public Service Of New Jersey
reacted a point or 50 in the first hour
and the other leaders in the group lost
cerned over the movement toward
lower rates. The fact that the Phila-
delphia Electric Co., had filed revised
schedule, which Is expected to cut
revenues heavily in the next IL months,
brought selling into the power stocks.
It was reported also that Consolidated
Gas was considering q reduction in it,
charges to wholesale buyers.
In normal times rate cutting by the
utilities Is not necessarily bearish on
the stocks. They have usually been
able to make up the loss by increased
gross. which. Of course. Is difficult to
do now. Nevertheless the probability
is that the market Is overestimating
the importance of the present trend
toward lower bills to consumers.
The railway shares attempted to fol-
low through their moderate gains OF the
day before, but they did not get very
far. Delaware & Hudson was the
strongest issue, selling at the highest
since the dividend was omitted. Other
carrier issues receiving good support
we're New York Central, Louisville &
Nashville, Pennsylvania and New York,
Ontario g. Western.
Neither United States Steel common
nor steel preferred did much one way
or the other. Traders were reluctant
to take position until 1t was known
lust what the directors would do on
the dividend on the senior shares. With
action so near at hand, there was no
incentive to speculation.
American Telephone held within
narrow range. Earnings OF l04 tele-
phone companies as reported to the
Interstate Commerce Commission today
for the IL months ended November 80
last showed a drop in operating income
from $20947, 1863 in 1881 to Sl7.060.-
673 in 1882. notwithstanding this de-
cline in revenues, which American Tele-
phone doubtless shares with other COM
panies in the business, the Street is in
clined to anticipate the regular divi-
dend at the next meeting.
