WIVES PLEAS TOUCH
THE HEART OF MOODY
Appeal TO Secretary Causes a Change
in Torpedo Boat Flotilla
Plans.

NORFOLK. Va, Dec 1.-THE torpedo
fotilla, composed of the destroyers De-
catur, Barry, cambridge, Chauncey and
Dale are making preparations to sail
tomorrow for the Philippines, according
to orders from the Navy Department
Although the boats have been ordered
to the Philippines, II is possible that
they will not go farther than Key
West. The strong protest of some naval
officers and the appeal of the wives
of the crews of the flotilla that have
reached the Navy Department have
caused a complete change in the pro-
gram.
While naval officers are not talking
publicly of the proposed trip of the
flotilla. they have let it become known
that the change in orders is due di-
rectly to the appeal Of the women to
the Navy Department, supplemented by
protests from certain officers.
The latest orders from Washington
are that a board of inspection win &C
company the boats as far as Key West
and II they prove that they can make
the trip with no danger they will pro-
coed to the Philippines with the cruiser
Buffalo as convoy, the inspection board
returning on the Baltimore.
Should they show the least weakness
the trip will be abandoned.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Dec. u.-H. Clay
King of Memphis. died yesterday in the
penitentiary in Nashville. where he had
been confined for eleven years. He was
first sentenced to be hanged. but this
was commuted to life Imprisonment He
killed David Poston, a lawyer of this
city, and attorney for the Southern
Railway, over point in litigation.
Both men came of well known famil-
les in the South. Both were wealthy. and
the killing was one of the most sensa-
tional crimes in the history of this city.
Numerous efforts were made to get a
pardon for King. who wrote pamphlets
to the public from his cell giving his
side of the case. During his fatal ILL
ness a final effort was made to get him
pardoned in order that he might die
at home but there was always such
intense opposition that the governor did
not care to interfere. His wife and two
grown daughters were with him when
death came

SCITUATE, Mass, Dec. u.-ThOmas
w. Lawson has decided that the chimes
of Dreamwold are not for coon songs
and Arthur Pepper. who works the bells.
must confine his evening concerts TO
music of a more dignifed character.
Mr. Pepper, who discourses music an
hour each evening for the benefit OF
half the county. has fairly well covered
several books of gospel hymns, ex-
hausted a large part of the familiar
ballads and made familiar many others.
Recently he has essayed some innova-
tiOls. but Under the Bamboo Tree
was evidently too frivolous. and ne has
received orders from Mr. Lawson to
discontinue original selections and stick
to a program which is submitted daily.
Among the young people of the town
these orders are not liked. The prospect
lof ragtime music by the chimes was pro-
ductive of much youthful rejoicing.

ARE STOCK OPERATIONS
GAMBLING CONTRACTS?
Question Has Adjudication
in District Court.
COURTS CHARGE TO JURY
Holds That Unless Shares Are Deliver
ed to Purchaser Transaction Is
Not a Bona Eide Sale.

The result Of a suit tried recently in
the District Supreme Court before
Justice Barnard and a jury is no doubt
of much interest to many stock brokers
in Washington and elsewhere. The
question was raised for the first time
in the local courts whether the pur-
chase OF stock upon a margin is a
gambling contract and transaction. and
whether a claim for a brokers balance
is enforcibie.
The question was raised in the suit
Of w. S. Lawson & Co. against oliver
r. Ingersoll TO recover S3,9S1.25, with
interest from May IA. 1901. The jury
reported a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff.
Charge Of Court.
Justice Barnard in his charge to the
| jury. which had the matter under con-
sideration. said:
THAT if the defendant made a de-
post with his brokers for the purpose
of actually buying stock. and that the
brokers arranged, under their custom,
/ to advance the money necessary to pur-
chase that stock. and to hold it await
ing the DEFENDANTS order for sale; ard
that if the claim is for a legitimate
J balance due on dealings had i'm this
way, and the stock was actually bought.
or intended to be bought. and actually
delivered to the brokers as the agents
! of the defendants. then the brokers are
entitled to a verdict for the amount oe
the balance of this account.
THE parties must be governed by the
custom Of the New York Stock Ex-
change with reference to sales.
They both evidently knew what that
custom was as they were dealing back
and forth in these stocks. If IL was not
the intention of both parties actually
to buy and deliver this stock but simply
to speculate as to what the value OF
the stock might be IN the future IL
would be a gambling contract and the
law would leave the brokers where they
stand
Attorneys Edward s. Duvall and
Michael J. Colbert appeared as counsel
for the plaintiff.
