JUDGE CONSIDERS REOPENING CASE Complication When Druce Ac- cuses Pal of Aiding in Crime Whether or not it is permissible for the local police court to reopen @& case in which probable cause has been found and a bind-over to the superior court made, was being considered today by Judge Henry P. Roche, the question having come about through the attitude of William Druce, aged 40, of 377 Elm street, who was arraigned in court Saturday morning on the charge of burglary, but who later told the po- lice that Otto Steiner, aged 47, of 213 Main street, was with him ‘when he stole a double harness out of the livery stable in the rear of the Park hotel on Main street. Stelner was arrested Baturday by Sergeant J. C. Stadler on the charge of theft, and Balvatore Buchiere. aged 49, of 18 Union street, was taken into custody by the same of- ficer on the charge of obtaining stolen goods. In court today, both cases were continued until Satur- day. Attorney David L. Nair ap- peared for Buchiere and Steiner was not represented by counsel. Druce said Saturday he would not plead guilty to the burglary charge, but he also would not give any in- formation concerning the theft of the harness, so Judge Roche found prob- able cause and bound him over to superior court. After court, how- ever, Druce made certain state- ments to the police and it was plan- ned to change the charge from bur- glary to theft with the understand- ing that he would plead guilty and the local court would take jurisdic- tion. For this reason, Druce was not sent to jail Saturday to await trial in superior court, and he was to have been arraigned with Steiner and Buchiere today. Judge Roche, however, was inclin- ed to the opinion that he was with- out power to hear the case because he had already found probable cause. Had he disposed of the case by im- posing a fine or a jail sentence or in any other way, he would not hesi- tate to reopen it on the ground that new evidence had been discovered, but tnasmuch as he had not made final disposition of it he felt the state's attorney was the only person | having the power to take action. He indicated that he will ascertain the correct procedure so that the cases of Stelner and Buchlere may be dis- | Whose owner had given notes for & posed of Saturday, and if it is pos- sible, to reopen Druce's case he will do so. 61 YEARS WITH R, & E, WILLIAM E. PARKER IS 77 Veteran Factory Employe Observes | Anniversary of Birth and As. sociation With Shop. Many congratulations and good wishes were showered upon William E.

MILEAGE TAX ON BUSES UPHELD (Continued From Firast Page) lay a tax on traffic which was inter- state in its character. The state replied that the tax was laid on the corporation for use of the state highways and not on the traffic borne by the corporation's vehicles. The public wilities commission has been awaiting the outcome of the appeal to the U. 8. supreme court. The question involved was re- garded by it of primary importance. In its annual report to the governor the subject was not touched upon to the extent of suggesting future legia- lation because the issue was then undetermined.

STEEL COMMON IN | DOWNWARD PLUNGF Touches New Low in Secondary | Market Reaction New York, Feb. 20 UP—The stock market went through a secondary reaction today after an early rally failed to hold U. 8. Steel common and several other leaders touched new lows on the current decline on setbacks of 1 to 3 peints, while sev- eral of the specialties broke four to | nearly seven points on a renewal of bear selling and long liquidation. i'l‘nmn‘ was in larger 'volume than i Friday, but failed to maintain the terrific pace set in Saturday's record breaking half-holiday session. ‘ There was no change in the credit | situation. Call money was in plenti- ful supply at the renewal figure of 4 1-4 per cent, with funds offered in the outsid arket at 4 per cent. The day's business news also was (rather colorless 1in character, the i only items of importance being a re- duction from $3 to $2.50 in the quarterly dividend on Laclede Gas, and the publication of the American Can Co. report showing slightly smaller earnings per share in 1927, a3 compared with the year before. U. 8. Steel common dipped tp a new low at 138 3-¢ but General Mo- tors was well supported just above 133, the low price touched last week.
