COURT AT JASPER.
Solicitor McQueen's Crusade Against
 Xice nnh CrinAe.

Jasper. May 7.-(Special )-The first criminal week of the Circuit Court, which has been in session here for jury case being that of the State against Julius Norris. who --as charged with assault with intent to murder Tom Burkett. at negro, dance near Corona last January; The jury rendered a yer dict finding Norris guilty of an assault with weapon and placed his fine at $100. The fact that tine dance was giv- en by negroes, and that beer drinking was one of the features of the evening made this case one of unusual import ance and the State, represented by John Mcqueen. presented this phase of the introduced showing that the combat ants had taken whiskey previous to go- ing to the dance. and that afterwards they drank beer. Burkett is alleged to have been advancing upon Norris with a dirk, when the latter fired on him with shot gun inficting a slight wound.
 Solicitor Mcqueen has broken the record in this county by securing a conviction in every case of importance which has been tried with the excep- tion of Will DoZier. who was tried for the murder of Pierce Heron about two years ago. In this case the main wit ness could not be brought into court owing to the fact that he had escaped from jail some time ago and had not been recaptured. Solicitor Mcqueen has made d crusade against vice ar q crime which should have a reaching effect. He has been relentless in his efforts to bring Violators of the law to justice. and his endeavors i'm this line have the commendation of the coUT tvs best citizens. Judge A H. Aston, who Is presiding, has done a great work in the short time he has been hefc The manner in which he has disposed Of matters coming before the court Is meeting with the approval of all.

WALL STREET REVIEW
MOVEMENT IN FOREIGN MARKETS
 RESTRAINEE
Question of Tension Betweek s;reat Britain and France over Preservation of Neutrality Seen In the
 Proceedings.

New York May y-Measured by the ef- feet on the New York stock market. the tension between Great Britain and France over the preservation of neutrality in the Far East must be acute. Measured by an other visible index, there does not seem tt be serious apprehension of any rupture be- tween those two powers.
 It is true that the selling of stocks 1T New York which carried prices downward was mostly for foreign account, but the volume of 1t was not impressive and the ready effect prices must be attributed in large part to the continued doubt felt towards the market by operators Of any considerable power of influence. Declines in the government securities most immedi- ately affected by the foreign situation Wal moderate, and the movement in foreign markets was more restrained than in New York.
 The Paeifics, southwesterns and South erns were most affected amongst the rail roads. and the iron and steel stocks were conspicuous amongst the industrials. The selling. although moderate, was very well distributed and no part of the list escaped entirely the prevailing weakness. The re- suit seems conclusive of the failure of the considerable reduction in prices which has already taken place to attract an effective be allowed to the extreme weakness of the gas stocks. Peoples Gas suffered directly. power into the hands of the Chicago city government. The close sympathy mani fested by Consolidated Gas was explained by the analogy in the situation in the two 
 It is not improbable. too, that considera- tion of the coming struggle over the ques- tion of Federal control of the railroad rates may have been stimulated by the in- cident of the gas stocks The market was narrow and obviously largely in professional hands. as was indicated by the light vol ume of the transactions, both on the de- cline and on the rally. When the opera tions for foreign account was concluded for the day the supply of stocks proved scanty for the needs of the shorts.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
EXCITEMENT IN THE
 PROCEEDINGS.
Bun Support Strong, With Active Cover ing, Especially by Nearby shorts.
 Opening Steady at Small Net Advance.

New York, May s.-The cotton market showed considerable excitement owing to strong bull support and active covering, particularly of nearby shorts The close was about { points down from the top on May. but well up to the best on other po- sltions.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 1 14 points and in spite of rather indif- ferent early cables showed firmness almost from the start, owing to numerous re- ports claiming too much rain and poor crop outlook in important sections of the belt While local bears claimed that the official weather reports were not unsatis- raetofs, they were plainly uneasy owing to the strong showing by New Orleans and wall Street bull support. and with hardly reaction the market worked higher until in the early afternoon May was selling around 7.73c, or at a net advance of 2i points while later months were about IS @ 19 points net higher
 The close was steady at a net gain of l5020 points Sales of futures were esti- mated at 350.o00 bales.

Salem is to be favored Friday even
ing with musical concert that de
serves hearty local support. Mr.. Gra-
ham and Miss Calbreath are Oregon
people and devoted to musical art Mr.
Graham spent seven years abroad and
is undoubtedly the greatest master of
the violin this state has produced.
This is his second appearance nj Sa.
lem and he deserves cordial greeting
from our music lovers. Miss Calbreath
is lady who has given her life to
culture in musical art and has many
admirers for her devotion 10 her chosen
profession. This is her first appearance
in concert and she deserves credit for
the arduous task of pre-
pairing herself for such difficult pro.
gram. Mrs. Norton as singer has

such an evening of music is not likely

Hear Contest.

Marker. the Willamette representa-

test, at Newberg Friday of this week,
had a tryout before the chapel this
morning, and surprised all by the pro-
gress he has made. There are many who
believe that he will win the contest,
as he has a magnificent subject, and
handles it with great force and clever,
ness. His topic is Moses, the Leader
Lawgiver and Statesman, and Mark
er fairly forgets himself in his ear
nestness and enthusiasm. He seems to
be thoroughly in love with his subject,
and, for man who has never taken
part in an oratorical contest, he prom
ises great things for the local college.
There was a very large attendance at
chapel, and great applause followed his
rehearsal. The Salem crowd goes by
boat at 10 o'clock.
