ST. PAUL LEADER
IN BIG DEALINGS

NEW YORK, Aug. "A lower range

thar tac heavy p-odt-taking of yesterday
would be followed by further sales this
morning kept many issues somewhat re
dictionary in the first hour.
The development of aggressive
strength ia ST. Paul turned prices up
ward before n o'clock. The trading in
St Paul however. vas the sensation Of
the morning. Dealings were extremely
heavy ana many observers regarded the
buy ing as somewhat competitive on the
part of Standard Oil and Union Pacific
Interests. ON heavy trading IL advanced

this in turn was followed by irregular
and somewhat feverish recoVeries.
Reading was decidedly strong under
renewed pool operations The general

LAWYERS DISCUSS
BIG TITLE SUIT
Life of Surety Companies
Involved in Outcome of
Berry Petition.

The suit brought yesterday in the
District Supreme Court by the heirs
Of Washington Berry for the appoint
ment of a trustee and decision upon
the validity OF titles 10 all that prop
erty originally known as Metropolis
View ard now embracing the subdivi-
sions of Center and West lexington.
South Brookland. Metropolis View. and
also the properties owned by the Do
minican preachers. ST Niucent's or
phan Asylum. the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio railroads. was the
subject OF much discussion today among
lawyers, real estate agents. and IN the
Office Of the Title Insurance companies.
Among lawyers the general impress
sion seemed 10 be that the suit would
fail, as. aside from any other cOnsidera-
tion. the long delay in bringing suit
would act as an estOppel to the success
OF any proceedings. Real estate men
were inclined 10 think that the mat
ter was hardly one 10 be taken seri-
ously. as too many prominent lawyers
and title examiners had passed upon
the titles TO allow Of any possibility
that the titles at this time could be
iuvalidaIed.
The title insurance companies. who
are directly interested from the fact
that many OF the titles have been
guaranteed by them, are looking up the
authorities, as one prominent official
stated that II the claimants cOuteu-
tiOn was supported by the court II
would mean the failure OF each Of the
title companies.
Among those who have bought and
built ia the various subdivisions. the
question Is giving some concern. as il
represents In many cases the entire
savings Of years and they are asking
earnestly what recourse they would
have should the suit be successful NO
question iu years affecting the real es-
tate situation has produced so much
interest as r. involves millions OF dol
lars and the correctness OF many titles
long since passed upon through the
numerous transfers made OF the prop
erJy.

.ERR|CO TRIAL SUSPENDED
Witnesses VIII Do Hoard Agaln Be-
 ginning Tuesday Morning.

The trial of Joseph Errico i'll the superior court for the murder of Pas
 Quale Traflcanti has been suspended
 until Tuesday morning. Joseph Sar- donla yesterday testified there was a society in Naugatuck known as the society of Christopher Columbus to which most of those interested in this case belong. Rocco Traficanu was once member but he fell into ar- rcars in his dues and dropped out. Wine used to be drank at the meet ings and once or twice Sardonia had words with Rocco Traficanti. Rocco was a noisy fellow. The night of the fatal shooting he had trouble with Rocco. Before leaving home he put hfs revolver in his pocket. He said he saw revolver with Rocco. His own revolver he purchased year ago last fourth of July, for shooting be- cause he saw everybody shooting on the fourth of July. On being quesr tioned further he said he bought It for self defence against the Black Hand society. He always had It load ed. He always had 1t loaded in the house ready for use. This witness was followed by Eugene Sirica and his wife. Neither of these saw much of the shooting if any at all for Ut the first discharge of the revolvers they betook themselves indoors and listen- cd to the volleys outside. Court nd 1ourned at this joint. When the case will end no one has any idea of. les terday morning the defence calcu- lated upon closing next Wednesday forenoon, but yesterday afternoon they had so many witnesses in court that the prosecuting attorneys made up their minds that rebuttal will be long and tedious.

FOX MAKES STATEMENT.
Nov Hivsn Man Who k Following
 Tho Corrupt Practices Act.

New Haven. Nov 17.--George L.
 Fox of this city. who has closely fol-
 lowed the application of the corrupt
 practice acts of Connecticut politics,
 to-day made the following statement: Three weeks ago sent out circu-
 lars of inquiry to the town clerks of
 160 towns of the state, which held
 town elections October 1. My object
 was to find how we'll the law, requir-
 ing all candidates to file election ex- penses. had been compiled with. One
 hundred and thirty town clerks have
 replied and the record is most grati- flying to every citizen of law-abiding Connecticut. 'One hundred and thir- ty towns have reported and 110 of these have perfect record. viz: no failures to file statements required. Those towns where there was any serious deficiency can be counted on the fingers of one hand. They are Glastonbury, Norwalk, Brooklyn and Branford.
 When we consider that the num- Der of candidates varied from 28 to "A in different towns, it must be ac- knowledged that this record can not be eQualled by any state in the union. It is much better than that of Massa- chusetts, where every year there are from 100 to 200 delinquents, and no prosecutions were brought for failure to file statements all this year are perfect in compliance with the law. These towns are Waterbury, Ham, den, Newington, Canton and Red- ding. Here is the record by coun- ties:
 In Hartford County-Avon. Bloom- field. East Granby. East Windsor, Enfield, Hartland, Marlborough, Rocky Hill. South Windsor, failed to report. All other towns cave Gran- by and Glastonbury. where Il de- linquents were prosecuted. have a perfect record.
 In New Haven County-Bethany, Madison, Middlebury, Seymour, Southbury and Wolcott failed to re- port. All other towns have a perfect record save Woodbridge and Bran- ford, where 10 delinquents were not reported.
 In New London County-Griswold Lisbon, Old Lyme and Preston failed to report. All other towns have perfect record save East Lyme, Mont- ville and Salem, with an insignificant number of delinquents.
 In Fairfield County-New Canaan and Westport failed to report. All other towns have perfect record except Norwalk and Wilton.
 In Windham County-All towns have perfect record save Putnam, Caterbury and Brooklyn with 10 de- linquents.
 Tn Litchfield County-Cornwail, Goshen, Kent. Norfolk. North Ca naan, Salisbury, Torrington. Canaan and Warren failed to report. All other towns have a perfect record.
 In Middlesex County-Westbroo alone failed to report. All other towns have perfect record except Cromwell and East Had dam with less than five delinquents.
 In Holland County-Bolton. Co., lumbia, Ellington. Mansfield and failed to report. All other towns have perfect record.
 Last year some papers unjustiy Baid that the town clerks were con- spiring to defeat the law. On the contrary this fine record is very largely due to their faithful and efforts, and they deserve | high praise.
