WITNESS LAWSON
Undaunted Before Counsel
Storey's Rigid Questioning.
Admits He Lost 100000 on
$4,000 Shares of Arcadian.
Still Believes in Amalgamated and
Says It Will Go Up.

Boston, April 11.-Thomas w. Law
already been on the witness stand for
the better part of two days in the libel
suit of Bennett VS.. Donohue and the
Lynn Item, resumed the position of
witness, today. Mr.. Storey continued
his cross-examinatiOn by asking about
certain expeditions of prospective in
vestors to the scene of the operation of
the Grand Rivers Co. in entucky and
certain signed statements of these WISH
tors TO the property which were pub
lished as advertising in the Investor
and other papers.
After considerable questioning the
discussion was diverted to Sugar stock
and Mr.. Lawson's operations in that
security. Mr.. Bartlett objected to this
line of inquiry as immaterial, but Mr..
Storey explained that Mr.. Bennett in
his paper had charged Mr.. Lawson
with being financial adverturer" and
that Mr.. lawson claimed this charge

StoreE and Mr.. Lawson then engaged
Ia discussion as to the meaning of
selling stocks short
Witness gave several illustrations of
SQling stock short" and long"
~ Mr.. Storey asked Mr.. Lawson IL he
not attacked certain companies for
sonal gain. thus going against what
~ had advertised in an ad concerning
Montana Gas.

thought Arcadian would go over
100. Bought $4,000 shares: lost $1,000
900 on it" Mr.. Lawson replied.
Then the people who took your adj
vice lost on it
They were in the same position as
was, only to less degree"
Asked If during the time he was pre-
dieting the rise of certain stocks the
Investor (Mr. Benefits paper) was not
merely striving to tell the public not
to have too much confidence in his pre-
dictions, Mr.. Lawson replied: THE In
weston attacked everything had any
thing to do with. They attacked
Butte too, and it went from very
low figure to over 1OO."
Regarding Amalgamated, Mr.. Law
son said he had believed in it and still
did so. While it had not gone up in
so days as he had anticipated when he
advised buying, last summer, he said. it
would certainly go up in another 60 or
120 days or some time.
Mr.. Donohue was recalled to the
stand and denied that in 1899 he had
offered any money to defeat Bennett
for the speakership.

IN A STUPoR.
Portland Man Found in Strange Condi
ton by Boston Police.

Boston. Mass. April 1.-THE police
OF Division 5, South End, have a pecu-
| liar case on their hands. Late Thurs
day night. Mr.. Stark, a marketman
found a stranger sitting on the stair
day of his residence, 545 Massachu-
sets avenue. The man presented a
strange appearance. He had on a vest
and pair Of trousers of fine material
or necktie, while on his feet were a
very disreputable pair of shoes such as
tramp would wear. A policeman
took the man to the Dedham Street
station. There he told a story practic-
ally as follows:
He said his name was Daniel E. Raj
ter. 46 years old, and that he lived on
Anderson street, Portland, Me-, and
was employed in a screen manufactory
He came to Boston, Thursday morning,
and was to meet man at the South
station and took a seat that is the last
he could tell of himself, knowing moth
ing of what happened after that time
until he was found in Mr.. Starks house
at 10 p. NJ. He could not tell anything
about when or where he lost his
clothes.
So straight story did he tell and so
strangely did he act that DR.. Nc
Queenie, the station physician. was
called in to examine the man. Dr. Nc
Queenie failed to find anything the
matter with him and said he was not
drunk nor did he have the appearance
of having been drinking.
The man was examined at the city
prison, today, as to his sanity. The doc
tors said that while not perfectly sane he
was harmless and recommended that he
be discharged. The police accordingly
released him.

DUN'S REPORT.
The Business World Keeps on
Its Gait of Activity.
TRANSPORTATION Of Goods Is Heavy and

exceptionally active in lines not dis
turbed by strikes, and there is Wig
orous move ment of goods through reg

as shown by railway earnings in March,
81 per cent. larger than last year.
Although speculation has increased
very materially, it is still far short OF
last years aggregate. Not only PIG
iron but bars, billets and structural
shapes are also sold so far ahead that
new business is comparatively light.
Firmness in cotton goods naturally
follows the combination of light stocks
and the interruption of work at some
mills with threatened disturbance al

of raw material. In many lines 1t Is
