TORS Yesterday to realize and by Others
later TO save losses was what dlScOur-
aged the outside public. The bears
were in evidence from time to time but
their offerings seemed to be well absorb
ed without effecting any marked de-
clines. There was no evidence of any
effort to mark up prices. The action OF
the market suggests that large opera
tors may be attempting to pick up
line of stocks at the decline before
pushing prices again with the purpose
to realize while the public is still buy
ing, as was done on Monday and again
Yesterday. Sugar was exceedingly ac-
tive all day and acted in very feverlsh
manner. This was partly due to reallz-
ing on stock bought in anticipation of the
Treasury's decision to apply counter
vailing duty to sugar imported from the
Netherlands and partly to confusion of
mind as to how far the differential on
refined sugar would insure to the benefit
of the sugar company. A large portion
of the speculation was taken up with
this stock and the offerings and the
weakness increased as the day progress
ed. Union Pacific manifested some
weakness at times on account OF the
firmly expressed intention of the govern
ment to qualify as bidder at the Kan
sas Pacific sales so as to protect it's in
terests if necessary by bidding in the
property. Denials were also offered on
behalf OF the reorganization committee
Alo nf no
with the government for acquiring the
subsidized portion of the line in Kansas.
There was good support apparent for the
stock notwithstanding this published
news and the Kansas Pacific consols
skies trust receipts were also steadily
held. The wide and irregular move
ment of some special stocks kept the
general list very much unsettled during
the day and it was difficult to discern
any marked general tendency in the
trading. London was again seller of
stocks in this market to some extent.
There was little general news bearing
on the situation and the movement Of
prices was due almost entirely to tech
a:cal causes The fourth week statement
Of ST. Paul and other roads and the
astimated gross earnings of Rock Island
.ble hut had little effect on the market.
The late squirt in Manhattan to 105, a
net rise OF 3 points, stiffened prices and
brought many of them above yesterday 5
closing level. Otherwise loses would have
nredominated. The rise in Manhattan
vas due to false rumor that the under
round rapid transit plan had been de-
Jared unconstitutional.

curtailed but still larger. Prices held

OF Drunkenness.
Commissioner Andrews tried yesterday num-
Dor Of police complaints adjourned from last
week. Patrolman Dennis Kechane of the Charles
street station was arraigned on an intoxcaton
charge. He was accused Of having been drunk
and unfit for duty on the night OF Feb. 2S. Kce-
hane is new man. Prior to his appointment he
, served in the regular army. He denied the
charge, said he never drank, chewed. or smoked,
and declared that he a victim of knock
OUT drops.
Percy Brown, q reporter, of 1872 West Thirty
sixth street, who was witness in the case, said
that he was in the Charles street station on Sun
day night, Feb 80, when John McEvoy. letter
carrier attached to station c, came in and COM
planned to Sergeant Norton that policeman on
West Houston street had dubbed him. His head
bleeding. Brown went to Keehano,
who, McEvoy said, was the policeman who
clubbed him. Brown said he found Keehane in
a muddled state. Keehane arrested Brown,
brought him to the station, and charged him
with interfering with him in the performance Of
his duty. At the station the policeman was eN-
amined by Sergeant Norton and DR.. German,
who pronounced him intoxicated.
Lawyer Grant defended Keehane. In answer
to the lawyers questions, Reporter Brown said
the policeman's breath, but believed there was
an odor of chloral, and he was of the opinion
that Keehane had drunk Knockout drops. Kee-
hane said he had lot Of trouble with gang of
toughs who hang out on his beat. and that they
had frequently threatened him. On the Sunday
night In question, he met friend, who asked him
TO have drink. He asked for glass of ginger
ale The drink was brought to him from the
Hudson Club, which meets over saloon at
Hudson and West Houston streets. kechane
declared that he became daZed after taking the
drink, and did not know what occurred after
that. He was sure that Knockout drops had
been put into the ginger ale. John Burke of 80
Clarkson street testified that he was present
when the drink was brought to Keehane from
the club room.
There n gang on the corner, - said Burke.
One of them asked who the drink was for, and
the bartender remarked that it was for the hay
seed cop. One of the gang took the glass from
the bartender and said he would give it to
Keehane. Then heard the same man say that
he would do tho 'hayseed' because he was too
fresh. From where stood could see him raise
his hand as though he poured something into
the glass, After that the glass was taken to
Keehane."
John Ward, another witness, gave similar tes-
tmony. Lieut.. Z. w. Lucas of tho Corps of
Engineers, United States army, at Wilets
Point, testified to Keehane's good character.
He told the Commissioner that keehane served
under him, and that he had the reputation of
being sober man.

MAGGIE CLINE EMPHATIC.
Testihea that Manager Williams Was Perfectly
Sane Just Before He Died.


Maggie Cline was witness in the Supreme
Court yesterday in q suit brought by Col. George
II. Hart as temporary administrator Of the estate
of the late Harry Williams, the theatrical man
ager, who died of consumption on Dec. IL last,
against Henry Rosenberg, Williams's partner in
a number Of theatrical enterprises, to recover
the value of 10000 policy on the life of Will
liams, which policy Williams sold to Rosenberg
and his wife several days before his death in
Asheville, N. c. This policy it is alleged by tho
plaintiff, was taken out by Williams for the
benefit of certain OF his creditors. The case has
been up before. 1t is set up by the administrator
that Williams was practically insane and was in
no condition of mind to transact business, and
from Williams while he was on his deathbed as
security for loan Rosenberg, on the other
hand, says he bought the policy outright.
1t as his opinion that for at least week prior to
his death Williams was not in condition Of
mind TO do business and that he had no lucid
intervals.
On cross-examination the physician was asked
policy Of insurance IN M on his life, which had sur
render Of S 81 @ 26o in cash q l and paid policy
policy for S3, 600 in cash, whether that would be
considered the act Of an irresponsible man, and
he said that it would not necessarily be. He was
during that time and asked II the acts those
OF an irrational man, and he gave the same
answer. IL was Drought out LDat w llll6I1S owed

She gave her name as plain Maggie" without
any frills, and gave her testimony in very de-
termined manner. She was dressed In black,
with knot Of green ribbon at her throat, and
wore hat with three immense plumes. An i'm
mcnse scalskin coat was also part of her outfit.
Maggie's testimony was almost IA fiat contradiC-
tion Of DIR. Townshend's. She said that she had
known Williams very well since 1882, and that
he was her manager with Rosenberg at the time
Of his death. She called on him on Dec.
q whi1e he Ill In he'd dnyq he
fore he went South, and four days before his
death. They spoke about business. He gave her
the route of the company and the salary list and
that Maggie should not have como out to see
him in such bad weather. " for. you know" said
Maggie, / am sufferer from throat trouble"
Williams told her that ho had arranged about
his insurance policy, and said, Don't worry,
Maggie; Rosenberg and will see that your com
pany stays out" He said he was relieved that
his business was attended to and that he could
go South without worry over business.
On the Sunday before that, Maggie said, Will
liams called ON her at her rooms. climbed up two
flights Of stairs. and had n business talk of two
hours. She chided him that he did not wear an
Overcoat, and he said that Rosenberg had bor-
rowed his overcoat the night before and had not
returned 1t.
The case was not concluded.
