FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
TUESDAY. AUG. 20

TUESDAY, AUG. r.
Transactions in stocks were considerably in
creased to-day. but much OF the increase was
derived from two stocks. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Sugar Refining. which wero special
objerts Of attack by the speculative contingent
that recently has been operating for q decline
| in the market. The selling OF the f1rst-named
stock was tremendous and forced 1t nearly
! down IN par but subsequently there was q
recovery. which left the loss for the day
less than three points. The buying from inside
sources was Of good proportions. Tho report
was not con strued as an aid to the bears on the
stock. The assault on sugar Refining. al
though vigorous was not 80 savage as that
on Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and sinRularly
enough the net loss was nearly twice as largo
in Sugar Refining us Sin the other stock. The
reduction In the prices OF refined sugars was
advanced as the reason for the movement
against the stock. IL was sad that II signifed
n resumption OF the war between the Sugar
Trust. so-caed and the independent ref1ners.
There was no confirmation OF this view. IL
was considered by at least part Of
the sugar trade that the purpose
in making lower prices was to induce
larger immediate call for sugars under the
contracts with buyers extending to the close OF
the year.
The influence 81 the pressure on Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and Sugar Refining naturally
was felt in other stocks II was particularly
conspicuous in Manhattan Railway. On the
other hand there we're stocks for which sub
stantial gains were recorded. One OF these
was International Paper. which was raided
yesterday. A stock which was notably strong
was Norfolk and Western common There was
heavy demand for It throughout the day. The

Mr.. Hayes was placed on the stand
at $3.50 this morning. and was kept there
during the entire forenoon until about
ten minutes before the court adjourned
for dinner. He told the story of the
shooting practically as it has been pub
lshed, and on cross examination went
over all the controversies he had with
Mr.. James about the disputed land. The
defense went into the details of these
conversations very minutely, apparently
to show that Mr.. James had warned
Mr.. Hayes not to trespass on the dis
puted land.
Just before noon DR.. NJ. r. Mitchell,
who was summoned to attend Hayes
after the shooting, was placed on the
stand by the prosecution, and testified
as to the nature of the wound, and to
prove that Mr.. Hayes was standing
with his side towards Mr.. James at the
that Hayes was not going toward James
at the time, SO as to overthrow any
theory of elf-defense.
There are ten or twelve witnesses in
the case, and it is probable that the
trial will not be concluded until some
time tomorrow.
Mr. Hayes is accompanied by his wife,
while Mr.. James is accompanied by
Mrs. James and a son, who is grown.

HERO OF TWO WARS.
Junction City Boy Wins Honors Un-
der Roosevelt and Dewey.

Junction City, June 14-Edwin H.
Miller of Junction City, is probably the
only man who enjoys the double honor
of having served under both Roosevelt
and Funston, and participated in the
battle of San Juan hill and the taking
of Calumpit, the one action bringing
fame to the rough riders. the other
earning laurelS for F'unston's men-and
Miller gets his share of both. Miller is
the son of Rev. DR.. J. K. Miller of
Junction City, Kan, and was born in
Pike county, Ill, % years ago.
In April, 1898, young Miller appeared
at the gathering point for the rough
riders then being organized in Okla
homa, and asked to be mustered in. He
was found to be too tan and heavy to
meet army requirements and was twice
rejected by the examining officers.
Nothing daunted by these rebuffs, Mil
Ter followed the rough riders to Texas,
and again braved the recruiting Off
GERS. There also he was rejected.
After his third disappointment Miller
waited a few days, and again approach
ed the examining officers, and asked to
be passed. For the fourth time he was
rejected, and told to give up his at
tempts to break into the regiment.
Then young Miller sought out Col.
Roosevelt, and told his story The COM
mander listened attentively to the
young mans tale of following the regi-
ment, and the eXacting rules which had
four times barred him. Then he gave
Miller note which read:
Examining Surgeon.-Ex this
man and have him mustered in
''ROOSEVELT.'
Two hours later Miller had become a
member of troop L, First United States
volunteer cavalry, better known as the
rough riders. He participated in the
fights of the regiment in Cuba. includ-
ing San Juan hill, and was mustered
out at Camp Wykom in September,
1898. Miller went home, and rested a
month. and then hurried to San Fran
cisco and enlisted in Funston's Twen-
tieth Kansas which was then in San
Francisco. on its way to the Philip
pines. His weight and height We're
overlooked by Funston's surgeons, and
he became a member of company L. He
is now in the Philippines.
The Rev. Mr. Miller, Edwin's father.
is a civil war veteran, and naturally in
any event is proud OF ms son, Wh1le

EXPERIMENT DRINKING
Prof Atwater Finds Out How Much
Alcohol to Drink.

Middletown, Conn.,, June 1.-THE first
official announcement of the results of
Prof. Atwater's experiments on the
value of alcohol as food was made to-
day in circular issued by the Middle
town Scientific association. Prof. At
water of the Wesleyan college is the
United States expert on alcohol. His
experiments prove that two ounces
Gour tablespoonfuls) of alcohol taken
in "a hours have no bad effect on a man.
More than two ounces act s poison.
These particular experiments were
conducted under the auspices of a COM
1nittee of so for the investigation of the
drink problem, of which committee the
chairman is Seth Low, president of Co
1umbia university and delegate to the
peace congress at The Hague.
Prof. Atwater experimental with per-
sons who have drunk moderately and
with those who never tasted a drop"
The results were the same. All doses
below two ounces in "a hours produced
bad effect at the end of the day;
there was no trace of alcohol on the
breath: the body was in the normal
condition; the alcohol was completely
oXidized, having been turned into heat
AS soon as Prof. Atwater learned
that more than two ounces was harm
full he went no further in that direction.
He had no desire to learn how much a
man can drink, but how much he can
drink without hurting him.
