Enormous
Trading in
Rail Stocks
I Most Active Demonstration on
Market Since June, 1916;
Volume Greatest in More
Than Two Years.
45 Carriers to New Highs
By Associated Tress.
Now York. Nov. 7.—Railroad
stocks traded in on the New York
Stock exchange approximated more
than $100,000,000 in quoted values to
day in one of the most remarkable
buying demonstrations In recent
years. Forty-five carrier stocks
soared to new high prices for the
year, some of them to the highest
prices in history, on net gainst that
ranged from small fractions to 4
points.
Buying orders poured into the mar
ket from all sections of the country
In such great volume that -total sales
of nil stocks exceeded 2,300,000
shares, the first “two million shares"
day since April 17, 1022, and prob
ably the most active since the wide
open break of June, 1916, when one
day's sales ran above three million
shares. Although the market closed
promptly at 3, it was not until 15
minutes later that the stock ticker
bad recorded the last sale. There
was a total of 541 stocks traded in
during the day, as compared with
the high record of 517 established on
V December 28, 1923.
* No Adverse laws.
While the recent high monthly
earnings statements and record
breaking carloading statistics have
been favorites in the accumulation
of railroad shares, most market ob
servers agreed that the almost un
precedented demand for those stocks
now was due to the growing belief
that he apparent loss of the balance
of power by the congressional radical
element precluded the probability of
any adverse regulation in the next
few years.
This would permit roads to carry
nut consolidation and development
programs, in addition to considering
dividend increases or resumptions,
which seem warranted by new earn
ings. Industrial shares, ^which have
apparently discounted most good
news in sight, grew irregular or
further profit taking in the early
trading, hut swung upward later un
der the leadership, of U. S. Steel com
mon, which touched 112, its highest
price since 1919.
Capitalization of Surplus.
Wall street has heard rumors that
several of the large Industrial cor
porations are contemplating the
capitalization of surplus, in order to
avert threatened taxation of the
same and this is believed to have
I heen a factor in the buying of
shares in which such action is like
ly.
An indication of what today s ad
vance means in dollars is given in

Special ItiKpatrli to The Omaha lice.
Fremont, Neb., Nov. 7. — Word
reached here today of the shooting of
Peter Rasmussen, 58. clerk in a coun
try store north of Oakland, Neb.,
when he attempted to frustrate a dar
ing holdup.
Rasmussen, it is believed, will re
cover from his wounds. The bandit
escaped.
Rasmussen and five other men were
gathered in front of the Basford
store, 10 miles north of Oakland, when
a car drew up in front. One man
entered the store and without warn
ing, flashed a gun with the command
for everyone to hold up their hands.
All but Rasmussen complied. Ho
started for the back of the store to
procure a shotgun and the bandit
fired, the bullet penetrating through
the victim’s back.
Rasmussen dropped to the floor and
the gunman fled from the store to the
waiting automobile. No trace of the
car or its occupants has been found.
Medical attention was called for
Rasmussen, and he was later removed
to his home. Complications from his
advanced years are feared, although
the wound is not very serious.
BRAZIL COMMENDS
ELECTION RESULTS
Bueno* Aires, Nov. 7.—Commend
ing the results of the American elec
tion, La Nacion, which published two
full pages of cabled reports on the
return* today, emphasizes the out
come as a defeat for the American
Federation of Labor upon its giving
for the first time its support to a
political party.
The editorial expresses the opinion
that in thus departing from its for
mer policy, the federation finds itself
in a disadvantageous position as for
merly it was able t,o obtain the ap
proval of labor legislation from both
the democrats and republicans.
The editorial adds that the defeat
of La Foliette "makes it clear that
an immense majority of the people
of the United States continues frank
ly opposed to the extremism of the
left, whose most genuine representa
tive is the government of Moscow—
the'flesh, blood and bones of the third
International.”
"Thus, within a week,” it is con
cluded, “two great Anglo-Saxon do
mocraeies demonstrated they continue
faithful to the basic principles of
their existence.”

Chicago.
Crowd Below Applauds
Chicago, Nov. 7.—Barricaded in a
three-story brick building, two elderly
white-haired women, aided by three
bulldogs, this afternoon were success
fully holding at bay with revolvers a
score of policemen and deputy
sheriffs seeking to serve an eviction
order putting them out of their flat.
The two women, each with a pistoi
in her hand, stood at windows at the
front and rear of the house, threaten
ing the officers who surrounded the
residence, seemingly undecided what
to do.
"I'll let the bulldogs loose on you
and if they don't stop you I’ll riddle
you with bullets,” one of ehe gray
haired women warned as a policeman,
more venturesome than his fellows
approached the front entrance. lie
beat a hasty retreat.
The presence of the officers at
traded a crowd of several hundred,
which blocked traffic in nearby
streets. Prior to the arrival of the
policemen a 19-year-old youth, urged
by a deputy bailiff to enter the build
ing and disarm the women on prom
ise of a reward, ventured to climb
through a rear window. One of the
women sighted him and rushed to
ward him, screaming "I'll kill you!”
The frightened youth made a hasty
leap through a front window, landing
on his head. The woman, however,
did not fire. The crowd cheered
while the deputy bailiffs summoned
reinforcements.
The strategy of a policemen ended
the siege without a shot b^ing fired
While his fellows went through the
actions of making a noisy attack on
the front door, drawing the woman
guarding the rear of the house to the
assistance of her companion, lie en
tered by the rear way and surprised
both women who were menacing
their foes in front.
One of the women, who said her
name was Mrs. Mary 15. O’Connor,
explained that she had rented the
building some time ago expecting to
start an Institution to cure those ad
dicted to narcotics. Later it was de
cided instead to form an institution
for the caring of old people. It was
‘not’ a success and recently she had
been unable to meet rent payments,
she said. She said they had ar
ranged, however, to move tomorrow
“and did not Intend to be driven out
today.”

Educator Says Pupils Trained
to Learn Rather Than to Think
'’Creative Thinking Not Re
served for God’s Chosen
Few,” Declares Wiscon
sin Professor.
"American schools have been train
ing pupils to learn rather than to
think,” declared H. *L. Miller, pro
fessor of education at the University
of Wisconsin, in an address Thursday
evening before delegates to the Ne
braska State Teachers' association
convention at Technical High school.
His subject was "How Creative
Thinking May Be Developed.” and he
attacked the type of education which
aims only to impart information
without teaching the pupil to analyze
these facts.
"Ghosts still haunt us when it
comes to consideration of new ideas,”
he said. "The fundamentalists have
their beliefs, and they defend these
inherited beliefs not always with real
reasons.
Age of Science.
"Creative thinking is not reserved
for God’s chosen few. The begin
nings are made by millions of chil
dren entering into the social heritage.
If we knew how to lift inhibitions
and to develop some happy tech
niques, perhaps genius, so-called,
would tie broadcast.
"Without a problem there is no
creative thinking. We still assign
pupils the task and sit over them as
taskmasters used to do with slaves
and serfs. But that practice is be
coming out of date, if we are to
develop purposeful, creative individu
als the problems must somehow be
come their probjems."
In an address Thursday afternoon
before the high school teachers Mr.
Miller declared that the pupil, not
the class, should be taught.
"No two pupils make the same dif
ficulty; no two make the same prog
ress," he said. "Mary should not be
compelled to take a dose of spelling
demons if John needs them.
"The intelligent teacher will dis
cover that one pupil reads three
times as fast as another and will act
on these facts. He will see that the
rapid reader is not held back to the
pace of the slower one. By setting
no upper limit for any pupil in a
group the new teacher will find a
way of education up to capacity.”

Ed Nash, 45, a houseman employed

Dr. William Ranee, police surgeon,

gument which he had with a maid at
the Trimble home Friday morning.

520 South Thirteenth street, had been
employed at the Thimble home for
some time. While at work Friday

A magnetic needle In a glnss case

In spite of Schapcleir's positive an

numerous scientists who have studied
the problem agree with him.

Berlin, Nov. 7.—Field Marshal von
Hindenburg has taken a hand In the
"war of the generals,” In a new ef
fort to mediate between General I.u
dendorff and “King" Ruppreeht of
Bavaria.
General Ludendorff, however, who
was recently ostracized by the Ba

ing over Frince Ruppreeht s head the
threat to reveal the latter's alleged
preparations for a monarchist coup.
The democratic papers are full of
the monarchist activities In Bavaria,
and even In Wuerttemberg. This Is
largely a part of the election cam
paign. A monarchist coup at the
present time Is generally agreed to
he out of the question.
Tho monarchists, however, are try
ing to keep the idea of a monarchist
restoration alive, and are meeting
with considerable success In south
Germany, though their most sangu
ine hope Is only to bring hack a
"king ' ns a result of "historic de
velopment"—and Is to create enough
monarchist sentiment to make pos
sible a change In the constitution.

TRADE OPTIMISM
AFTER ELECTION
New York. Nov. 7 —Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
"An outpouring of optimistic ex
presslon has followed swiftly upon
the election, hut partly because a
good deal of the short time elapsing
since then has been devoted to con
stdering Its various results and part
ly because the weather has been too
warm for much buying of seasonable
goods; the trading done has been
mainly of the broken week variety.
Of definite effects, the most notable
have been the active dealings at ad
vanclng pries In the stock nnd bond
markets nnd the reported forthcoming
certainties of many hitherto con
tingent orders for steel.
"Other developments have been tlie
cutting of prices of several lines of
cotton goods, particularly ginghams,
by New England mills, which are said
to have been impelled thereto by
competition of southern mills, and
rallies In prices of grain from the ie
cept low point."
