In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Unless you indulged too freely in the offerings of Thanksgiving day, you undoubtedly feel this morning just as optimistic as you did at the close of the market on Wednesday. You know, when we come to think about it, most folks feel very much now as they did on the corresponding day four years ago. Os course, the picture is different because prices are not the same, the names of the popular stocks are not the same, the debt is larger and the cost of money higher, but we were thinking then of coming prosperity and we are thinking the same today. We must, of course, make allowance for the fact that a good many of the popular issues were then comparatively cheap and today high, so high, in fact, that we may have to wait a few years for the building up of assets to put intrinsic worth back of them, so naturally many of the late buyers will have to do the waiting. We would rather look for opportunities among companies whose business has not been very prosperous and the railroads where the best of them are not yet too high.

BANDITS ESCAPE TRAP AS SHOTS FLY;_rtRREST 2 Arrest Youths for Grilling in Four Recent City Holdups. Two youths arrested early today at Birch avenue and White river were questioned by detectives to determine whether they might be the “quick on the trigger” bandits who have been involved in five holdups and holdup attempts on roads north of the city this week. There has been shooting in three of the holdups, two of which occurred Thursday night. In one of the Thursday night affairs more than a dozen shots were exchanged by the bandits and two men who had set a trap for them. The Chevrolet coupe in which the two were arrested, carried a license number partly like that given by some of the holdup victims as the license number of the car ln which the bandits Yode. Stage Gun Battle They were held on SI,OOO bond each on vagrancy charges. Malcolm Woodworth, 2251 North Meridian street, who was held up on Thirty-eighth street near the Lafayette road Wednesday night and robbed of anew overcoat and some money, viewed the two and said they did not resemble the two bandits in a Chevrolet coupe who stopped his machine. Bandits fought a gun battle with Arnold Beecher, 27, R. R. A, Box 2368, and Robert Donovan, 30, of Flackville on Thirty-eight street a half mile west of Lafayette road, about 10 p. m. Thursday. Donovan and Beecher said they obtained permission from the sheriff’s office to try to trap the bandits who robbed Donovan at the same place Saturday night. They left their car by the side of the road while they hid in the bushes. A short time later the two youths, wl*om Donovan said he recognized as the same two who robbed him Saturday, drove up. They got out and drew guns. Open Fire on Bandits When they saw there was no one in the car they disconnected ignition wires and'decided to look for Its occupants. 1 Donovan with a shotgun and Beecher with an automatic pistol opened fire. They fired about eleven shots altogether and the bandits fired about six shots, Beecher said. One of the youths cried out, “God, I’m hit,” and slumped down. The other youth shoved him ln the Chevrolet; and drove away. The second holdup df the evening by two bandits In a Chevrolet occurred at Forty-sixth street near Shadeland drive, northeast of the city. Probe Murder Link This holdup seemingly occurred fifteen minutes later and neither of the youths in the second car appeared wounded, Robert Hosea, 707 West Thirtyfirst street, was the victim. His wife and daughter were riding with him when the bandits appeared following him and fired a bullet through the back of his car. Hosea stopped The bandits shot at his feet when he did not get out of the car quickly enough. They took $1 and a $35 wrist watch from Mrs. Hosea and $65 from Hosea. Detectives are Investigating the theory that the bandits may be members of the gang which killed Paul T. Pulliam, Bair theater manager, the night, of Nov. 19. Building Permits H.
