DAILY GRAIN LETTER.

Messrs Logan Bryan OF Chicago tele-
graph their local correspondents, James
a. Pollock q Co., over their private
wire, on the grain and provision sltua-
ton, as follows
Chicago Jan. .-Wheat--Trade to-
day has been dull and nervous, but with
a very steady market The sharp rallies
from the breaks clearly reflect the
tlghtness Of the situation and as we
have contended for some time, also re-
fleets the oyersold condition Of the
trade. The market continues very SEN
sitlve to any little buying demand.
Manipulation has been charged to the
bull interest, but It Is a singular fact
that our market Is relatively the cheap
est market in the country. The contract
stocks In all primary markets are small
with absolutely no hope Of increasing
them. Under these conditions we can
not hope to receive from other primary
points wheat that will grade contract.
1t is a scarce article in all markets,
and holders are not anxious to part
with IT, The decrease In stocks Is am
other factor Of strength to the situa-
tlon rejecting an Improvement In the
consumptlve demand The action OF
the market looks strong TO us and we
continue 10 reel the big holders Of
wheat have the better end Of the argu.
ment.
COMA feature Of this market has
been the selling at times heavy Of
prominent cash and elevator concern.
leaving the trade under the impression
that 1t has been liquidatlng corn for
some little time back Trade continues
very quiet and within very narrow
range We still feel the immediate
course Of prices will depend altogether
on receipts.
Oots-Trado light and featureless We
continue to feel 1t Is slow scalping
affair
Proylslons-This market continues TO

very much II any sustained irnnroves
ment can take place until they change
their present unfrlendly attitude TO.

,AnluS6nnentS

A good sized audience was drawn out
at the Theater last night TO see Edna
Wallace Hopper in her new departure.
The audience vent away both sur
prlsed and delighted Hitherto Miss
Hopper has been known To us as a
bhthe little lady whose accomplish
ments were limited 10 walking through
the music OF hurlesQues and musical
larces-she seldom essayed 10 sing
them In her two roles last night she
showed undoubtedly that she is the
possessor OF genuine talent both I'm the
range Of comedy and emotion. In the
beautiful one act curtain raiser, Cap
tain January abridged from the popu-
lar story of the same name, she did a
charming bit OF acting as the child. her
manner walk, gestures, and enuncia-
tion all being TO the last degree faithful.
She was admirably supported by Mr..
Paul ENerton IN the title role, and he
too showed that he Is an actor OF de-
cided attainments. In the after piece
"A Country Mouse after we have
overlooked the distasteful theme upon
which IL Is all built, and the immoral
suggestions with which 1t Ia rampant, It
can be said that Miss Hopper and her
fellow pay6 shone TO entire advan-
tage, The play Is decidedly light but is
very amusing as an alleged reflection OF
one part Of fashionable London life.
Some OF the character bits were excel
lent, notable the duke of Mr.. Norton,
the Wyse Of Mr. McAlhster and the
Lady sylvia Of kathryne Brown MIR.
Eyerton, though he played with care,
hardly had q role that gave opportuni-
" for his abilities
Miss Hopper In this piece was the de-
mure country girl and quite charming
~ she played IL, although one could not
help feeling disappointed that at the
close her character too should be
blended In with the folly and hollow
ness OF fashionable life The end was
rather disappomtug but Il all made an
evening Of merriment and was enjoyed
by the audience.
The same double bin viii be- seen for
the last time tonight and tomorrow az

NEW TACK IN
SHOCKLEY CASE.
Attorney For Condemned Man
Expects TO Get a New Trial
For Client
NOVEL POINT TO BE RAISED.
Jurisdiction Of Judges Of City Court 10
Matter Of Preliminary Hearings
OF Criminal Cases.

At the next hearing u the case Of the
State Of Utah against James NJ. Shock
ley before the supreme court In Feb
ruary the question OF the jurisdiction
Of the judges Of the city court in the
matter of preliminary hearings Of Grim
mal cases will be raised and viii be arr
gued IN full. It Is hoped by Attorney
II A. Smith, who defended Shookley TO
secure new trial on that point
shocklcy was convicted of the murder
OF streetcar man In this city and ls
now under sentence of death for tho
crime, It win be commended ny his at
torney that, according to the Constitu-
tion, Tho city judges have not the right
to conduct preliminary hearings in
cases OF feionles and hence as Shock
loy's preliminary hearing was before
one OF said Judges Il was unconstitu-
tional and of no effect and he should be
given new trial.
The authority relied upon by Atty.
Smith Is section article ~ the Con-
ftltutlon, which reads as follows
Tho Judiciary power Of the state shall
be vested In the senate sitting as a
court OF impeachment, IN supreme
court, In district courts I'm justices Of
the peace ana such other courts inferior
90 the supreme court as may be estab-
lished by law"
This general provision IN regard TO
judicial powers rs followed by a special
provision In regard to the Jurisdiction
Of the courts established, being section
II Of the same article which Is as fol-
lows Judges Of the supreme court
district courts ana justices Of the peace
shall be conservators Of the peace and
may hold preliminary examinations in
cases OF felony
1t is a rule that where q general proc
vision appears IN the Constitution rcla-
tive 10 powers and rs followed by a
special provision limiting such powers,
the special provision prevails II viii
be argued by the defense that by roa-
son Of the fact that the special pro-
vision did not specifically provide for
other courts by the trainers of the con-
stltution that such newly established
courts should have jurisdiction over
preliminary hearings IN cases Of felon-
les and hence the justices of the peace
have such power but the Judges Of the
city court have not
The fact that the provisions Of the
Constitution are mandatory and pro-
hlbtory unless otherwise specifically
siated therein Is also relied upon as a
strong point IN favor OF the conten-
ton of the attorney for defendant In
regard to tho construction OF the Con-
Rtitutlon with respect TO the question
raised. The question Is an Interesting
and important one aud viii be closely
watched by the members Of the bar
and the general public.
