PLAYED THE RACES.
w. A. Speak Alias Spencer, a Book
keeper, Arrested for Felony
EmbezZlement.

w. A. Speak alias Spencer was arrested
Monday on Eddy street between Powell
and Mason by Detectives Anthony and
Cody and taken to the City Prison where
he was booked on the charge of felony
embezzl ement.
Speak was up to two weeks ago book
keeper at the Atlas Iron Works, Potrero.
His conduct did not meet with the ap-
proval of Frank Lester, the superirtend-
ent of the works and two weeks ago he
was discharged.
Testers suspicious were aroused that
Speaks accounts were not straight and an
expert was called in and has been work.
ing on the books since then. a deficiency
OF $500 was first discovered and finally, as
the examination continued, it was de-
veloped that there was shortage of
$1055.
Lester notified police headquarters Mon
day and Anthony and Cody were de-
tailed on the case, resulting in Speak s
arrest that night.
Speak is 81 years of age, and the detec-
tives say that he has been pIunging at the
racetrack, which accounts for his defalca-
tions.
Speak treats his arrest lightly. He
would not say more than there might be
something in it, but it would be all right
He had an appointment with Lester Mon
day afternoon and was surprised when
the detectives arrested him.

ON 'CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE bears must
be conceded to have won the honors of the
day in today's stock market Prices were
never more than fraction above those of
last nights close during the day except in
few cases, and most of the days sales
were made at level quite sharply below
last nights close. The holders of stocks
kept one eye on the wheat market all day,
and were keenly alive to the activeness
manifested in that market and to the nota-
BILE decrease in export demand for wheat
on account of the high range of prices
reached for that cereal. The first effect
of this was to impart dullness to the stock
market owing to the determination of
holders not to sell at low range. This dull
ness settled upon the market soon after
the nights accumulation of commission
house orders had been worked off, But the
bear traders took possession of the market
in the absence of an active buying demand
and sold it down to catch stop orders
They were hampered in their efforts by the
existence of buying orders on a scale down
which have been placed in several stocks,
But the buying ceased on a marked ad-
vance, and this encouraged the bears to
persist with the result that they finally
succeeded in the shaking out of large
amount of weakly margined stock and
preciptated heavy offerings of the stop
loss orders. These were quite readily abb
sorbed without rallying the market. There
was noticeable falling off in commission
house buying and the total sales fell off
another 10000 shares below yesterdays s

An Insurance DECISION

The supreme court of Georgia held, in
the case of Howard VS.. the Georgia Home
Insurance company, that where the hold
er of an insurance policy deliberately and
after full opportunity for investigation ac-
cepted as cash from the adjuster of the
company check in full payment and
satisfaction of the loss claimed by him
under such policy and gave his receipt for
the same, he could not thereafter MAIN
tain an action against the company for
such loss on the ground that he had been
defrauded into making the contract of ac-
cord and satisfaction by certain state
ments made by the adjuster to the effect
that for certain reasons therein expressed
the company was not liable, it not ap-
pearing that the adjuster, even if the
statements in question: were incorrect or
based on erroneous reasons, had done any
thing to prevent the complainant from
making a full investigation of his legal
rights in the premises. The court further
held that on the trial of such an action
there was no error in refusing to allow the
plaintiff to testify that an agent of the
company had represented to him that the
adjuster was a gentleman of the highest
honor" ON whom the palintiff could alb
solutely rely, and that accordingly the
plaintiff did rely upon him in making the
settlement, there being no pretense that
any relation of trust and confidence ex-
listed between the plaintiff and tho ad-
juSter.
