MIR. HOWEJ' CASE ARGUED.
Municipal Judge Cam to Render His
Decision Today.

Municipal Judge Cam yesterday took
the case OF Arthdr F. Howes. accused OF
adultery, under advisement He will
render his decision this morning.
The only evidence submitted by the
defense yesterday was the record In the
sought to secures and did secure, a al
vorce from his first wife After the in
PRODUCTION of that evidence the case was
argued 10 the court at considerable
length.
The attorneys for the defendant con-
tended that II airy crime had been prov
en- against Howee IT was that of higamy,
and not adultery: that he had held a
woman out 20 be his wife, and had in
troduced her as such. which. TO all In
tents and purposes. constituted second
marriage. They also commended that the
state had not peoTcn that he was not
married to this woman.
The prosecution insisted that the fact
that How was married to one woman
was prima facie evidence that he was
not married to another. and that the fact
that he might have held the second wo-
man out as his wife did rot constitute
a marriage. An Illegal marriage. it was
commended. was no marriage at all. The
prosecution insisted that his living with
another woman constituted adultery.

SINGLE TAX CAUSED 1T.
Difference in Political Belief Leads
TO a GUN Fight.

John Levan, a resident of Sunnydale
was brought 10 the city yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Wilson on warrant
sworn out In Judge Cams court by j.
w Laxham. charging Levan With as
sauit with intent TO commit murder.
From the story told by Laxham Il
would seem that he and Lavan differ
widely upon the merits of the single tax
theory. He is disciple of Henry
George. and Levan is not. Sunday they
had an argument over the question. and
Levan, so Lsxham claims, went to his
house and procured a rife. Returning
TO Laxham's house, he fired two shots
al him.
At the sherirs Office II Is believed that
LeVan Ia insane. He was arraigued be-
fore Judge Cam yesterday and his pre-
liIninary hearing set for Friday.

The missing man was a

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, July 29-Thc stock market
for hto-day's short session was strong.
A large volume of realizing was we'll
digested by reason of an Increased de-
mand through commission houses and
the market stood up we'll under Il bank
statement that was unexpectedly
weak, the majority of the stocks show
ing net gains when trading was over
for the day. London continued TO buy
stocks here with considerable conf
dence and this was the prime factor in
the opening rise and in the further de-
cline in sterling exchange rates.
The money market was largely NOM
tnal but there is evidence of quite lib
eral offerings OF funds from outside
sources. The high level of railroad
earnings shown by all companies re-
porting, and the reported eager demand
to buy, borrow or rent freight cars
from many sections of the country was
a potent source of strength for stocks.
Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania and
Pittsburg, c. G. and St. Louis enjoyed
the benefit of the published June state
ments. showing largely increased net
earnings. Burington's strong June
statement brought realizing.
The Coalers were helped by the state
ment OF Lchigh Valley. rejecting
growing Improvement i'll the long de-
pressed anthracite industry. Reports
of unprecedented activity and strength
in the iron trade caused advances in
the prices of steel and iron stocks. with
the exception OF Federal Steel. Ame3
lean Steel and Wire rose over II point
This factor helped the railroads situated
