Afternoon Session.

General Tyner, who had been absent
from the morning session. appeared with
Mrs. Tyner at the opening OF the after
noon session.
Witness Morgan addressed the court
In reference to a statement made by him
yesterday regarding one company
which had not received a copy of the
Barrett opinion. He did not wish it TO
be regarded as in contradiction of state
ments made at tOday's session, and
quoting from the proceedings Of the two
sessions of court showed them to have
been substantially the same. He iden-
tilted some documents in his own hand
writing bearing upon the matter.
Mr.. WOTthingtOn concluded the cross
examination and Mr.. Taggart questioned
the witness regarding the latters tes-
timony on the "speciOus" nature Of the
Barrett opinion
AS TO General Tyner taking no part
in the framing Of the opinion, witness
said he did not remember any specific
conference between Tyner and Barrett
on the subject.
The idea of getting UP this compre-
hensive opinion on all companies be-
gaD- in March. 1900, he said. The ques-
ton Of submitting the matter to the
Attorney General was discussed.

his clothes torn, finds himself in such
luck as did John Tarbox, who the other

TALKED ON POLITICS
TOO LONG AND TOO MUCH
Negro "Capper" Found Himself in
Court Because He Wouldn't Shut
Of the "Hot Air"

Because he stood IN front Of the Police
Court Building this morning and argued
politics with several negro attorneys,
after Sergeant Flynn had ordered him
away, Steven Powell, a negro, well
known around the Police Court as
"capper" for attorneys. was arrested
and thrown into the Police Court docket.
The case was called today. but the
negro's attorney asked for continuance
until tomorrow. and Judge Scott granted
it.
POWELL s remembered by the police
as the special policeman who struck n
Pennsylvania soldier on the head dur
ing the last Inauguration and caused
the riot in the vicinity of the postot-
flee.

BEARS AGAIN POUND
COTTON PRICES

NEW YORK, May 5.-A break in
Liverpool, due, it was said, 10 Ameri-
can selling. afforded the bears a chance
TO pound the local cotton market again.
Bear pressure was noticeable In the
near opertions, and there was Hauida-
ton in the new crop deliveries influenced
by warmer weather South. The only
demand was from spot interests, and
commission houses, who bought slowly
on a scale down. Its effect was to
check the declining tendency after the
call. Receipts at ports are estimated
at only 5000 bales. against $3.50 bales
last year. This news, with support by
commission houses, caused July to ad-
vance TO 1857, while later months i'm
proved slowly in sympathy.

money in the United States Treasury,
circulation showed a gain of $6,025, 3l3.
The increase in the amount of money
in the country in the month was due
to increased gold production in this
country and receipts of the metal at
San Francisco from Japan, the gain in
gold coin in circulation amounting TO
over 100000, which gold certificates
representing gold deposited in the
Treasury showed a gain of S1459S, 800.
Compared with a year ago the amount
Of money in circulation In this country

REAL ESTATE NOTES

When the American National Bank
moves into the recently bought "Balti-
more Sun" Building. on T Street. after
the alterations now contemplated have
been made, it will have the largest and
most commodious quarters of any bank
Ing institution I'm the District Although
the plans for these alterations have not
vet been fully matured. the idea IN
DERIVING them is that the two first floors
ara to be thrown into one. The sun"
office. and the bank Of Lewis Johnson &
Co. will remain in their present rooms
for while. but viii ultimately have 10
seek other accommodations. The same
is true of Floyd. Crawford & Co. brok-
ers. who are on the second floor. but the
other tenants in the building will be
left undisturbed II is understood that
the price paid by the American Bank
for the building. ranges between S225,-
600 and S25O, 600. and the purchase Is con
sidered a great bargain. the original
cost Of the structure having been about
$3.50, 900. exclusive OF the land.

expert In the matter of real estate

The limit placed by Congress on the
