THE question Of municipal ownership
of an electric lighting plant was fully
discussed at the city council meeting
Monday night but no definite con
clusion was arrived at. The committee
recommended that the city build n
plant of its own, however and the sub
sequent balloting shows where the alder
men stand. Aldermen Davis, Martcl,
Ream and Sinclair are the men who
favor city ownership. The matter final
ly took mother turn when it WIS re
ferred to the city attorney to find ou,
something about whether the city can
legally raise the required amount of
money necessary to erect the pl ant.
And 30 the question stands until the
next meeting, July 6.

JUST WHAT MINERS WANT.

All who are, or expect to be, interest
ed in mines will be glad to know that
Henry n. Copp, the Washington ID. c.
land lawyer, has revised Copp's Pros
pectors Manual. The mineralogical
part of the work has been almost en-
tirely rewritten by Colorado mining
engineer, who has had years OF exper-
ience as a prospector, assayor and sup
erintendent of mines ane United States
surveyor.
The book is a popular treatise on
assaying and mineralogy. and will be
found useful to all who wish to discover
mines. The first part of the work gives
the United States mining laws and regu-
lations, how 20 locate and survey a min
ing claim, various forms and much val
liable information. The price is 80 cents
at the principal book stores, or OF the
author.

GRANTS ID NUAzIo NEW TRIAL.
Judge Bradley in Making Comments
Censures Warden Leonard.

Judge Bradley yesterday granted a new
trial 10 Bernadine di Nunzio, the Italian
musician recently convicted Of assault
with attempt TO commit criminal assault
on Dora Az, the little eight year-old girl
living on BrightwOod avenue. The prin
cipal reason assigned by Judge Bradley
for granting u rehearing of the case was
the fact that Di Nunzio cannot speak
English; that most Of the testimony in
The case wasin that language, ana uhatths
interpreter employed in the trial was not
fully Competent TO perform his duties.
Besides, he Thought, that the testimony
submitted by the girl was incredible IN
many particulars and would bear further
consideration and rehearing.
When Jrcge Bradley acceded to the re-
quest for new trial, made by Di Nunzio IS
attorneys, he took occasion To Girect at
teEtion to what he said looked TO him like
dereliction of duty on the part OF Warden
Leonard, of the District jail. 1t win bc
recalled that while Di Nunzio was con-
fined there awaiting trial, he was examined
by physician who testified In the trial on
behalf of the Government Judg., Bradley
said, in effect Yesterday, that the arden
of The Jail neglected his duty in allowing
such an examination 10 be made, and that
it tappeared 10 him to be as nearmisconduct-
ing the affairs OF the jail as could possibly
be accomplished.

r. G. Dun & rs review of trade will
say today:
The testing of retail trade is in progress
bct results are reHarkably retarded By long
continued nild weather and also by the
weather in Southern districts. Even from
that quarter some large orders lately re-
ceiyed show better distribution than ex-
pected. III spite of unseasonably warm
weather, which greatly hinders retail deal
ings in winter goods at all points east of the
plains, tie large number of supplementary
orders with urgent pressure for quick de
livery make il clear that the sales in many
branches have exceeded the expectations
of dealers, so that replenishmeIit OF stocks
is not yet finished. Meanwhile wholesale
trade aDdorders to manufacturers have been
slower than when the rush was greatest, but
have nevertheless been large for this stage,
even in a year of general prosperity, for
The payments through the principal clearing
houses have for the week been 3 per cent

Money markets remain free from embar-
rassnent. Commercial loans have much
increased, and ten large banks repur; 30

cotton To cents for spot and 5.SS for
January, Iraking the price the lowest since
March IA, 1855 and not half a cent above
the lowest for nearly half a century, is
partly due to embarrasSmen caused by
tie fever, but also indicates the prevailing
belief that the quantity to come forw ard
is large.

COURT COURT has JURISDICTION
Judge Cole Decides Commissioner
Mills Was Legally Appointed.
An Issue Raised by District Attorney
Davis While Resisting Re-
lease OF Prisoners.

In an opinion LANDED down yesterday
Judge Cole quashed the contention 70
Gently made by District Attorney Davis
that the District supreme court had no
power 10 appoint United States commits
sioners, and that such United states COM
missioners now in office had no right to
eXefcise the law applying to the release OF
pauper cuuvicts. The question was re-
Gently raised by MI. Davis when he re-
ceived a notice from United States Com
missioner Mills that an inmate of the jail
had applied &C. him for release under the
poor convict act. Nj. Davis raised the
issue that legally Mr.. Mills was not .
United states commissioner, and that he
had no power to execute the law involved.
In his decision Judge Cole decided that
tie sppreme court of the District was u
United States court i'll every sense OF
the word, and that it was there fore, within
its Jurisdiction tC appoint United states
commissioners. Such commissioners had
been appointed by the court for the last
thrce-Guarters of a century and during that
Zine they had discharged their duties IN a
manner Identical with that Of commission
eTs in the several States. There was nG
construction TO be placed on the law on
tire subject, he held, which would indicate
that the court was not a United States
court with full power TO appoint commits
sioners,
The contention over the poor convicts'
act arose from the case of man who
had been sentenced in TIE police court to
pay fine OF S15 or serve sixty days in
Jail for an offense In the absence OF the
payment Of fine the prisoner was taken To
Jail. AT the end OF thirty days, accord.
ing To law, lie notified the court that he
was entitled TO release in pursuance with
the provisions OF the poor convict act
The district attorney held that the
prisoner was not being held solely on
account OF a nonpayment Of fine. Judge
Cole held To the contrary, and decided that
the United States commissioners Of the
District were vested with the power to ex-
scute the provisions of the poor convict law
