fused to Grant License.
NEWPORT NEWS, VA, September "a
Cspecial)-A meeting of the City Demo-
cratic Fxecutice Committee was held last
night for the purpose of electing ne"
chairman for the Democratic party IN
Newport News. to succeed Mr.. Johh VI
Liyezey, who resigned some time ago.
Mr. ]. Sheldon Jones, one or the DIGEST
citizens Of the city and man quite prom
inent in Democratic circles, was elected
to the nosition. In spite of the fact that
the Democrats have no doubt or the sue
cess of Hon. w A. Young, an aggressive
campaign will be carried on from now I'M
IN election-day, so as TO make the MAORI
Nv so decisive that not even a Republican
House will have any excuse Tor unseat-
ing the Norfolk man.
In the Corporation Court to-day Judge
n 7. Barham decided not to grant
LIQUOR license to II. Sturgis for the con-
duct of a saloon at the corner or WASH
ington avenue and Thirty-first street
Aside from the fact that the building IN
which the saloon was to be estaoiisheo
Is in too close proximity to the new High
School building, the Judge also held that
the application was for a license to con-
duct n saloon above the clearly-defined
saloon district, and he did not care to es-
tablish a precedent in that direction.
Sturgis's attorney gave notice OF an APP
peal to the Circuit Court. 1t is said that
If this applicant is successful a number OF
other applications for licenses uptown
will be made.
1t is said that members OF the local
Women's Christian Temperance Union
approached prominent members OF the To-
cal lodge of Masons and requested that
water instead of wine be used in the cere-
mony attending the laying of the cor
ner-stone of the new High School build
ing next Friday. After being Informed
that this portion Of the ceremony had
been observed by the Masons In laying
corner-stones from time immemorial, the
good ladies gave up their intention.

rest Two Robbers

CHICAGO, September 24.-While trying
TO arrest Clarence White and Frank
Ryan, who were caught robbing a store
on Thirty -first street late this afternoon,
Policeman Tuxford was shot and fatally
wounded. The robbers were seen by
people on Thirty-frst street, who sent
word to the police station, and Tuxford,
with officers Maloney and Stark. started
to the place. AS they entered the house,
Stark captured White and Tuxford and
Mahoney seized Ryan. The last-named
fought desperately. and fired several
shots while struggling with the officers
on the stairway One bullet struck Tux
ford in the abdomen, infiicting a wound
from which he will die.
Clarence White has had a feud with
the police for many years. has been ar
rested innumerable times, and his trial,
with two others, for the murder of
Thomas Marshall. a storekeeper. was one
of the most sensational criminal trials
that ever took place in Chicago. He was
acquitted after hard legal fight.
A detective named Dix is now serving
life sentence in Joliet prison for killing
Frank White, a brother of Clarences,
while trying TO arrest him.

MINING STOCKS
PRODUCE.

Chicago, August c7-After nearly
two hours elation and buoyancy to-
day wheat became soggy and depressed
On heavy foreign markets and liberal
receipts of the new crop. September
and December closed 3s@1a cent low
er each. Corn lost 4. oats "a eigher.
Pork is down to cents; lard and ribs
remain unchanged.
The tendency at the start in wheat
was toward weakness, but the mar
ket soon turned soggy and prices con-
tinued to creep up for an hour and a
half, during which time September
rose from G55s@7s at the start to
64ss. 1t held firmly within u cent
Of the price last mentioned for an
other half hour and then in about Is
minutes it undid all its previous work
by dropping back once more to 635s
@a. The September future, while
showing the widest range in values.
was not the most heavily dealt in.
The. new business was largely con-
fined to December and May, in which
later deliveries fluctuations were less
and the volume Of trade larger. A good
deal was done in the way OF buying
in short wheat for September and re-
selling it for December. The Liver
pool market responded but feebly to
the previous days rise here, but Chi
cago received only 153 cars OF wheat
against geo estimated and compared
with 2s2 received the corresponding
day the year before. Minneapolis and
Duluth received 511 cars against 327
last year, although that amount was
again heavily in excess of those of
the preceding season, 1t was not suf-
fciently large to be excessively bear
ish. With the present. small stocks
of visible wheat it was necessary to
the September shorts to prevent them
from getting panicky that the news
should not only be bearish but de-
cidedly SO. The primary winter wheat
markets on the ~ band all received
