a majority Is conclusive in courtmar-
tial findings and 50, after the fact of
guilt was established the only thing TO be
considered was the measure of punish
ment. The officers had made up their
minds that Hammond's career as SOL
der was not creditable and this weighed
strongly in bringing them to an agree
ment as to the punishment to be meted
out to Lowering.
The evidence showed that Captain
lowering had been connected with the
United States military service for twen-
ty-five years and that his record had
been a good one A number OF the off,

McEwEN ADDRESSES THE JURY.

He INDUCES in Unspnring Dcnuncia-
ton of LuetEert's Witnesses.
CHICAGO. October 12.-Assistant States
Attorney McEwen resumed his argument
in the Luetgert trial this morning, and 1t
was announced that he would speak all
day, barring the usual intermission at mid
day.
When he came to consider the evidence
of DR.. w. H. Airport. chief astrological
expert for the defense, he handled the wit
ness with biting sarcasm and scornful de-
nunciation.
He came upon the witness stand with
all the arrogance and self-assurance of
bully shouted the speaker, and left 1t as
meek and lowly as any being who ever
entered this building. He exposed to the
medical profession in open court his ignor-
ance, and made himself the laughing stock
of experts the world over.
The mistakes DR.. Airport is alleged to
have made in identifying the different
bones We're enumerated, discussed and ridi-
culed in the most cutting manner at the
speakers command. And this is the man
whom the defense asks you to believe with
reference to the identification of the bones
placed before you in evidence in this case"
observed Assistant States Attorney Nc
Even.
Mary Siemmering was the subject of the
assistant state attorneys remarks during
alleged relations with Luetgert, and
charged she was the primary cause of the
horrible murder of Mrs. Luetgert. The wo-
mans testimony on the witness stand was
torn to ShredS, and she was denounced in
unmeasured terms.

Sarah NJ. Shaw. aged forty years. were
shot and killed early this morning, 1t is
believed. by burglars Mrs. Vane was in
stantly killed. and Mrs. Shaw expired in
less than half an hour without recovering
consciousness.
The two women lived at No. 242 Lynn
street in the lower part of Camden, near
the river front. 1t was about 4:30 o'clock

of the house, shouting loudly for the po-
lice.
The young man has been laid up with
typhoid fever, and in statement to the
police said that he was awakened shortly
after O'Clock by pistol shot. He made
his way down stairs. and at the bottom
OF the thlrd-Story stairs found his mother
bleeding and unconscious. He ran to the
window and gave the alarm.
When the police entered the house they
also found Mrs. Vane. the mother of Mrs
Shaw, in a chair in the sitting room, dead.
with a bullet wound in her head.
Mrs. Shaw was at once removed to the
Cooper Hospital, where she died in a few
minutes without making any statement
The shock incident to the tragedy has
caused a relapse in the condition of young
SHAW and 1t is feared will result fatally.
An examination of the house showed
that rear shutter had been forced open.
and bureau drawer on the second floor
had been ransacked.

CANDIDATES OF HIGH STANDING.
Applicants for the Supervising Archi-
tect's Position.

The committee to pass upon the designs
and other material submitted by the
twenty-six competitors for the position of
supervising architect of the treasury met
in the rooms of the civil service commits
sion today and spent the day in consider
ing the material before them. 1t is
thought they will require about one week
in order to complete their work.
The high character of the twenty-six ar
CT fleets who have entered the competition
for the place Of supervising architect of the
treasury has been surprise even to the
civil service commission, as the salary Of
the place is only $4,000, a number of the
candidates. it is believed, being in receipt
of a much greater income. The explana-
ton is regarded as a high compliment and
Endorsement of the merit system. 1t is be-
lieved that were the place given out upon
political influence, many Of those now COM
peting would not have entered the race
The fact that 1t is to be competition
among all architects of the country has
made the place of value. not merely be-
cause of the salary attached to it, but be-
cause its attainment will be fine adver-
tisement for the successful candidate and
his firm. The only fear of some of those
Interested in the matter is that the success
full candidate will not continue to hold the
place any considerable length of time But
should he resign after a short while there
will be an eligible register of architects of
high character from which to make anoth-
er appointment.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE evils of

were fully reflected in today's stock mar
ket The trading element may change
front from day to Gay. but whims do not
make markets Yesterday short contracts
were covered and some purchases follow

This theory was abandoned after the first
half hour this morning. Prices were opened
as high as possible. and London bought a
few stocks at the advance. The foreign
demand was limited in volume. and once
it was satisfied the local situation was
found to be unequal to the task of main
tanning values Accordingly yesterdays
long stock was thrown over by disappointed
room traders and new contracts made in
the interest of depression.
weakly Targined accounts occupied the
attention of and gave most of the BUSH
ness to commission houses. Free selling
was the dominant feature of the afternoon.
AS prices receded the volume of business
increased thereby showing a lack of con-
fidence in the wisdom of longer holding
high priced purchases. Declines varying
from to per cent ruled in all parts of the
nSt, and not significant purchase except
against short sales was recorded.
Intrinsic merit was not a consideration
during the active period, the reasons for
the decline not being founded on conditions
outside of Wall street. The market had
simply been advanced TO an unwarranted
height during the summer and stronghold
holdings were sold to financial weaklings
VINO possessed but a small equity in their
purchases.
Capital withdrew. with its proverbial eau

faoed Tor time in the old haunts of those
who forced the original advance.
All TINS was an easy matter until selling
became necessary, and then the unwel-

wiling to buy. In order to tempt pur-
chaSers, bargains were offered and today

IMPROPER READING FOR GIRLS

MEN ALL OPPOSED 1T

PHILADELPHIA, October 12.-"Les Mis-
erablcs.' Victor Hugo's masterpiece Of
fiction and sociology. has been barred out
of the girls high school of this city on the
ground that it is impure.
An animated discussion preceded the de-
cision of the committee of the board of
education. VIM. D. Rorer, principal of the
school, presented to the committee list of
text books required by it. Chairman Nor
ton looked over the titles. and when he
spied Les Miserab,es," in French, he In
stantly objected declaring that he regarde1
the work as decidedly improper to put in
the hands of high school girls.
Richardson L. Wright. a member of the
committee, had read the work and regarded
1t as perfectly shocking in its relation to
the French side of life. 1t is wholly i'm
proper" he added. ito put it in the hands

Mrs. Mary E. Mumford. the only woman
member of the committee, was the only
defender of Huso's immortal work, but
her solitary protest was speedily over
ruled. She said it had doubtless been
recommended as being typical of the high
est classical French literature.
Chairman Morton thus expressed his
views:
My objection is to the tone of the book.

who have charge of the public schools have

The special and peculiar circumstances

ca That the appellant has been con-
v1cted OF murder in the first degree in one
OF the superior courts of the state of Cali
fornia, the judgment of conviction has been
passed upon and affirmed by the highest
judicial tribunal of that state, and this
1nent of appellant in accordance with the

ton of this case by this court is in the

matter of the utmost Importance to the
people of the state of California"
