ing, making an exhaustive charge to the
grand jury He especially called their at
tention to the enforcement of the liquor
laws, saying that three-fourths of the
crime which occupied the attention of the
courts was directly traceable to liquor.
He also charged the jury to look closely
after the infraction of the laws against
gambling, saying that it was one of the
most pregnant forms of evil, often being
carried on now in open and public defiance
of law and good morals. Gambling de
vices, the judge said, were prohibited by

of the grand jury to diligently inquire in

sources that have complained hitherto
that Wall Street was the only blue spoc

of depression is appearing at other points,
Wall Street experiences the relief from
having already gone through this price

call loans rose TO four per cent, when
belated borrowers supplied their needs.
Today's speculation centered in Amalga-
