BURGLAR CAUGHT AT LAST.
Women and Children Effect Capture Of
Harry Russell.

Chicago, Oct. Pursued by two
women and score of pupils Of the
Marshall high school, Harry Russell.
whom the police call the Gentleman
Burglar" and who has been sought for
weeks, has been captured after chase
covering several blocks. The pursit
was along the streets Of the residence
district about Garfield park and fol-
lowed an attempt at burglary.
When arrested the man wore kid
gloves, patent leather shoes, a light
overcoat of expensive make, and car
ried silver-headed cane. When siez-
ed he protested with indignation
against the arrest. The police were
puzzled for few moments, but the in
sistence of the women pursuers con-
vinced them and Russell was taken
to the police station, where later he is
said to have admitted the robbery.
Burglars tools and false keys were
found in the mans pockets. Several
pieces of jewerly, supposed to have
been thrown away by the man during
the chase, were found in the street.

Agitation, Claiming I'm
cOnstitutiOnality ofLaw

New York, Oct. Judge Wilmot M.
Smith, of the supreme court, sitting
in Brooklyn, has granted an order to
show cause why an injunction should
not be issued against the Automobile
Association Of America and the board
of supervisors of Nassau county an
nulling the privilege to hold motor car
races upon the roads OF Nassau coun-
ty. A subpoena was served upon Pres
ident whipple Of the association, COM
manding him to appear. Should an,
injunction be issued 1t will interfere
with the planned 300-mile race to-
morrow for a cup offered by w. X.
Vanderbilt, Jr. The motion for the
order was somewhat unexpected to the
race promoters, who believed that af-
ter the hearing at the Nassau county
court house at Mineola last Tuesday,
they had effectually disposed Of all
opposition. The motion for the order
was presented by counsel for Secretary
Bennett Of the Peoples Protective AS
sociation of Nassau county.
Judge Smith said that he had
granted the order and made II
returnable today SO that both
sides might be argued and the
set for hearing the contest. He said
that so far as the board of supervis-
ors are concerned in giving the road
privileges for the race they had appar-
emily acted upon the law enacted last
winter for the provision Of allowing
motor cycle races upon the highways.
The constitutionality of this act Is
questioned by Secretary Bennett.

CHAPEL MARCH UNDER BAN.
But Students Would Not Obey
FacuIty's Comand.

facuity's Con1and.
Salem Journal-The student body at
Willamette University locked horns"
with the faculty this week in an
amusing manner From time imme-
morial ever since old Willamette first
started on its mission of educating
men and women, the chapel march
has been one of the features of the
school. This year the faculty, for
some reason. decided to abandon
what they consider a useless prac-
tice.
The order leaked out before 1t was
officially published, and the students
prepared to meet the emergency. At
first it was agreed that all should stay
away from chapel, but, on reconsidera-
tion, it was decided to attend, and at
the conclusion of the services march
out, in spite of the order.
This course was pursued, and when
the student body started to leave the
hall they 'fell In line, and marched
away" much to the CONSERVATION Of
the professors. The varsity yell rent
the air. and these tactics were pursued
for three days, when finally the faculty
withdrew the order.
1t was a good-natured clash Of au-
thority, but the students were deter
mined to win, and they feel greatly
elated over their victory.

New York, July 25.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of points to a decline of 3 points
! The opening advance which was on
the nearer positions was in response
to higher Liverpool cables than ex-
pected while the later months were
depressed owing to the absence of
confirmation of the crop damage re-
ports which were circulating late on
Saturday as a result of the heavy
rains in the central belt. Trading
was fairly active at the start and SEN
timent seemed to have a hearish lean
ing owing to the favorable charac-
ter of the early map and reports OF
the strike at Fall River and bearish
private advices from the Liverpool
market where prices at opening
showed an easy tendency. After the
first wave of liquidation following
the call which forced the market down
to a net loss of about s to IL points.
trading became quiet and prices re-
covered slightly During the balance
of the session thew ruled irregular but
on every little bulge there was SELL
ing by prominent floor brokers and
the market was finally steady at about
the lowest of the session or a net de-
cline of 5 to IL points.
Sales were estimated at $4,000
bales.
Private advices from Charlotte, n.
c., stated that the first new bale was
expected in that section about August
/. Advices from New Orleans eX-
pressed the opinion that the rains re-
ported would probably delay the
movement somewhat. Port receipts
for the day were full as compared
with last year, but exports were light.
The strike at Fall River is expected to
cllrtaiI the end-season demand to
some. extent. The mills affected by
the strike are said to have been usiDS
about 1000 bales per week just prior
to the shut down.
Receipts at the ports today 2,106
bales, against 1.915 last week and
1873 last year. For the week $4,000
bales. against 1880 last week and
1876 last year. Today's receipts at

Stocks md ROndS.

New York, July 25.-Speculation in
stocks today was dispirited and de-
cidedly uninteresting. The market
was dull and sluggish. The recent
notable firmnesS of the undertone III
spite of the declining activity of the
demand was lacking today and the
market was inclined to sag. The
movement was deSultory and showed
no signs of the precipitation which
usually marks the elimination of an
active speculation advance. The ac-
ton of the market was not clearly
related to the news of the day, but
the drop of prices was in spite of some
happenings favorable to values in
the same way that bad news has
been ignored on the advance. This
week railroad officials assert that
there has been a sudden revival Of
cheerful sentiment and an increase
of traffic offering in proportion. The
early market was assisted by some
buying for London account There
is no great doubt remaining amongst
the speculative contingent that the
regular quarterly dividend Oh United
States Steel, preferred, will be de-
clared tomorrow. That stock was
heavy, nevertheless, in common with
the list. Some of the stocks of indie
pendent companies made advances.
The market closed irregular at some
slight recovery from the lowest.

this really absorved all offerings. Bears
