Hau's Appeal.

Leips'g, O:t. 12.-Tbe appeal Of
Carl Hau, the American lawyer found
guilty at Csrlsruhe of numbering his
motber-in-lsw, Frau Molitor, and sen-
fenced to death, began today before the
Supreme Court OF Germany.
Most important in the rehesring will
be the new testimony to be offered by q
Young woman of Baden Baden, the place
where the murder was committed, tend
log to clear Hau. Her story, however,
only throws greater mystery over The as
founding case.
This new witness, who has known Hsu
for long time, says she saw the lawyer
enter a cab and drive toward the railroad
early on the evening of November 6,
the day of the murder. Just as he was
driving away she heard the shot which
killed Fra Molitor, fired from a different
direction. 1T would have been impos-
sible, she says, for Eau to have fred the
shots.
The police are largely responsible for
this i'm portant evidence being suppressed.
When the young woman told her story
they actually dissuaded her from going
10 court.
"Why do you wish to prove Hau's in
nocenct? Do you wish 10 marry him
aherward,S" one police officer asked her.
After Hans conviction the witness,
however, told her story to DR.. Dietz,
who will make her a leading witness.

Christ all who have been duly baptized in
the name of the Father, aud of the Son, and

I'd, for the fdrtherance af the work TO which

ttitution:
The report OF the committee on mar
rage and divorce was read, being prsc-
ideally the same rs that presented to the
House of Bishops several days ago, in
which the activity of all Christian bodies

1t especially set3 forth that divorced
persons seeking remarriage are at all
lines anxious to have their past records
made clear ia seeking the sanction OF
che church.
The resolution to accept the report
and concur in the action of the bishops
vas laid on the table until the receipt Of
a message from the House OF Bishops.
Chief Justice Andrews, of New York,
chairman Of the committee Oh courts of
appeal, introduced the report Of that
committee, asking that the House OF
Bishops be made judiciary body for the
consideration of all cases which may
come up on appeal from the decision of
diocesan boards. The court OF bishops,
as proposed would have The fnsl decision

cause may be. The report especially
nets forth that any prison convicted aDd
denied entrance to the church should on

House of Bishops.
Following the report OF the committee,
upon motion, it was agreed to gointo
discussion OF the report with view to
rejecting or adopting it. II. l.. Thomas,
Of Pennsylvania, fought the adoption
bitterly, giving as bis reason the great
expense attached 10 the calling together
Of meeting Of the bishops. In pro-
seeding, Mr.. Thomas said 81 am not
opposed to placing all confidence In the
House of Bishops, but 10 acting In the

SECRETARY TAFT when be shall have
arrived in Manila 1txt Monday will
find himself confronted by serious prob
lens. While the Americans at that
place are preparing to receive the secre-
tary with hOnors due his position. many
Of the natives fail to manifest enthusiasm
over his contemplated visit. There
seems to be divers reasons for this. After
the marty fayOring immediate indepen-
dsnce bad won such sweeping victory
az The election OF delegates to the assem-
blv. Governor General Smith called a
halt on The plan 10 have city governors
chosen by The people. Some say that
this order came from Taft. Since the
election feeling has run high about the
way in which the old insurgent flag has
been Haunted 10 the faces of Americans
and "Aginaldo's March, has been play
ed on The streets by bands. Manila mer-
chants are not permitted to keep the flags
on shelves or in windows. AS indicative
of the feeling over the flag, here ia a
quotation from FL Renacimiento,a native
newspaper of Manila:
The prohibition Of the Filipino flag is
a slight to the Filipino people. The
flag ia a symbol of our ideals and our
liberty, and TO forbid IFS display is an
attempt against our most sacred aspira-
lions. L! gave the lie to the solemn
promises of the government of the
United States.
The same paper in discussing the
postponement of the reform Of the Ma
Mia government says;
We ask that the government not be
unmindful Of The popular clamor which
demands a bona fde administration OF
the interests of the community. A
policy of repression, which it is said the
government has entered upon, after the
clearly expressed wish OF the people at
the elections, would he contrary to the
administration and the prelude to trouble.

through the first hour was intensely weak
ALI around the room bids we're satisfied q:
soon as made. Liquidation was forced and
vicious drives were repeatedly made in order
&c accelerate the downward movement and
perhaps create disaster. The result Of this
heavy selling was that prices reached the
lowest levels in many cases that have been
touched this year. Covering of shorts on an
extensive scale caused rallies at times Of about
one point. but when this recovery occurred
heavier offers followed and further losses re-
suited. In government bonds the twos regis
tered declined aud the tours lost t; other
bonds were lower.
The market clio ed nervous and irregular
with some stocks showing recoveries OF about
a point, while others were near the bottom.
