The decline was so violent that arrange

The curious feature Of the weakness was
that It was not attended by any definite re-
port as to the causes which brought 1t
about. Prominent bank officials and mem

the situation was inexplicable.

JURORS ON PREJUDICE.
Judge Clarks questions to the jurors yes

the application for a change of venue.
He asked each OF the Jurors If they did
not know that there Is a feeling of preju-
dice in the city against the so-called bribers.
perjurers and boodlers. From each of the
men he asked this question he received an
affirmative answer.
Said a Four Courts official in discussing
the notice:
II am no LAWYER and do not krcw the
inner purposes of Hannlgan's counsel in
making this move. but from a common
sense view should regard 1t mistake.
Il believe the people of the State at
large are as much incensed at boodlers as
they are in the city In the last few weeks
Doodle deals in the State Legislature have
been unearthed here and at Jefferson City.
Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee has re-
signed because of his connection with one
of the deals. Several Senators have been
indicted. and this has put the State in as
much turmoil over the action Of alleged
boodlers as IS the city.
II believe Hannigan would stand Just as
good show in the city as he would any
place in the country. The people out in the
State read the newspapers. and they know
as much about this Suburban Doodle deal
as we do here in st. Louis. I believe only

YALE TO RECEIVE CUPS.

Harvard Insists Upon Yale Accepting
Them-That Relay Race.
The unfortunate ending of the Yale
Harvard relay race in Boston one week
ago last Saturday and the many re-
ports that have followed it have caused
D. W. Franchot, of the Yale relay team,
to write Captain Lightner, of the Har-
ward track team, a letter in which
Franchot completely absolves Lightner
from any blame whatever.
Yale has received word from Harvard
that Harvard intends to send to Yale
the cups for this relay race, and insists
that Yale accept them. Harvard Offer
ed Yale the cups week ago last Satur-
day night in Boston, but Yale declined
to take them. Harvard now declares
that Yale must accept them and that
Harvard intends to send them to New
Haven at once.
