He got both, according to his complaint to the police last night, and agreed that it was some outing and plenty of excite- ment. According to his report to the police, he was held up by his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs, David Torzko, in their home at 36 Grove street at the point of a brace of re- volvers and relieved of $ This, ac- cording ta police investigation, would have been after he had enjoyed some outing among New Britain saloons, made numerous patrons realize that there is real money in the world and tried to show them that he really had it by placing the bills in various de- signs on the top of several bars. The end of his “perfect day” was passed in a cell at police headquarters, where he was placed for the safe keeping of himself and his “roll.”” The alleged robbery was reported to Policeman W. P. McCue. With Po- licemen Gustave Hellberg and Michacl Massey he visited the brother's house, No trace of revolvers could be found and nothing to indicate-that the al- leged robbery had taken place. John insisted that, after he had been in the house for a time earlier in the even- ing, his brother drew a revolver, handed another one to his wife ana then they proceeded to relieve him of the $15. The police are inclined to believe that John saw things that were not or that the liquor caused memorie, of long forgotten Jesse James’ adven- tures to appear. John had a rather hazy brance of his adventure th when he was allowed his freedom without court arraignment. With his roll of $295, all he had when he was searched at headquarters, he departed. As he went, he said that he intended to continue his outing today but in- sisted that it would be in familiar Hartford haunts. He predicted that there would be some decreased roll before he got through. Police offi- cials agreed with him that there 's likely to be a considerable decrease in his “roll”, if he follows out his ex- wressed intentions, WHITE WAY CELEBRATION Mayor Quigley to Give remem- morning Signal for Switching on New Lighting System —=Short Strect Parade.

DECEMBER 14, 1916 LOCAL MARKET 1S | SHOWING REACTIONS Is First Big Sef-Back Since War Was Declared The local market during the past week has experienced the first big re- action since the war started, and be- fore going state that any further we .wish we believe that any selling of war stocks at the present level is unwise. the speculative war stock been caused by timid holders sacrificing in an unreasoning desire to have nothing at stake. Our local stocks, which are not of the so-called war o have had practically no reaction. American Hardware, North & Judd, Stanley Rule & Level, New Britain Machine and Union Manufacturing Company are all quoted at practically the same prices of ten days ago. Amer- ican Hardware is quoted 137 to 139 North & Judd 94 to 97, and there are rumors on the street to the effect that some sort of a cash dividend will paid in January. Stanley Rule Level is quoted 440 to 460, New F tain Machine quoted 105 to 110. Union Manufacturing Company is quoted bid, 125 asked, and an e> tra dividend in January also e pected here. Last year per cent, was paid, and as they have had a very prosperous year it is expected that the same will be paid. Stanley Works has had a decline and is quoted 104 to 108. Landers, Frary & Clark has dropped and is quoted 74 bid, 78 asked. Bristol Brass is quoted 73 to 76 which is also a decline. The stock we consider a very good purchase at the present time, Traut & Hine quoted 60 bid, 70 asked. There been several sales of Fafnir Bear Company stock ranging in price from 150 to 15 There have been declines in some of the more speculative war stocks, par- ticularly Standard Scyew The declines have been vere and rapid, and this reaction should cer- tainly be taken advantage of, we be- lieve. Sales of Standard Screw today have been less than 500, which i decline of over 100 points in less than month. Scovill Manufacturing company has declined to 740, which is also a decline of more than 100 points, In our opinion both of these are a good buy today, and even though the war should come to a termination in the near future, we believe an in- vestor would lose no money on these stocks, even though bought at recent high' pric The directors Standard Screw company few days to declare the dend. On October 1 twenty per cent was paid and it is expected considers ably more than this will be paid in January.
