The buying during that time WAS OF
various descriptions. but was apparently
represented chiefly by tne covering OF
short contracts. On the other hand.
great deal of the selling seemed to be Tor
the account of interests who had ieh
themselves impelled to support certain
securities during recent periods OF STOCK
market unsettlement. At any rate the
market besitated before the ose of the
first hour and later underwent an tS
tensive reaction in wh ch the carrier ao-
vances were seriously curtaleo.
In connection with tf ;eactloh ,iiee t
was much discussion as to the actudi tA-

the view that the sJO,0O0.0N Panama

Treasury's Relief Measures.
However. the combined practical and
sentimental effects of the Treasury's re-

naturally the Presidents letter to Secre-
tary Cortelyou was perused with Keen IN

tons in the premium on currency and in
the rates for money. while those for Ster-

While those familiar with the affairs of

Looking for His Hat
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Taking of testi-
mony was begun today in the trial of
Frank ]. Constantine, accused of the
murder of Mrs. Louise Gentry. The states
attorney said 1t would be shown that
Constantine murdered the woman after
a dispute with her about his failure to
repay money borrowed from the Gentrys.
The defense contends that Mrs. Gentry
committed suicide.
The first witnesses testified that after
hearing Mrs. Gentry scream Constantine
was seen running from the rear door of
the apartment building; that he asked
the janitor to get his hat for him, but
that when the janitor, having learned of
the murder, returned'to look for him Cor
stantine had fled.
]. George Scott, a roomer at the Gentry
fiat, and whose razor was used to cIt
Mrs. Gentry's throat, gazed with appar-
ent hatred at Constantine when he ap-
peared. Scott said that when he entered
the parlor one evening three persons were
playing cards, and that he sneered at
Mrs. Gentry in response to her timId,
rather fearful smile. II later went to
Constantine's ROOM continued Scott,
and there Mrs. Gentry later brought us
some wine. After she left 1 remarked to
Constantine that Mrs. Gentry was rather
a pretty woman. Constantine said, sneer-
ing: Il don't think so; her nose is crooked.
She's too fresh and I'll fix her." Then
he showed me a photograph of Miss Ma
talby. whom he termed pretty girl

FORAKER DEFENDS
u. S. CONSTITUTION
OHIO SENATOR ARGUES FOR
RIGHTS OF STATES
Says Many Powers of Federal Govern
ment Call for More Legislation
Than Is Possible for Con-
gress to Enact
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HILLsBoRo. Ohio, Sept. 1s.-With Sem
ator Foraker as orator of the day the
one hundredth anniversary of this city
was celebrated today In the course OIL
his grafton Senator Foraker said:
.iThere is now abroad in the land, and
has been for, the past two or three years,
widespread and dangerous sense NOT
only of impatience with the restraints OF
the constitution, but of purpose to disre-
gard and overthrow them If they cannot
be otherwise evaded.
There was some excuse for sentiments
of this character when the nation was
rocked in the throes of civil war and when
the life itself of our government was Mt
stake, but in these times of profound
peace, when we are enjoying the great
est and most universal prosperity this
people or any other people in all the MS
tory of the world had enjoyed, and when
the powers of the government constitu-
tionally exercised are found in every IN
stance ample to protect us from all evils
complained of. either actual or fancied'
such impatien is inexcusable. NO great-
,er calamity could befall this country than
for it to so change DEMONSTRATION as to
authorize the federal government to deal
with all or any considerable part of sub
jects over which states reserved control.
1.-THE many powers of the federal goe-
eminent conferred directly and by impli-
cation to deal with national and internal
tional affairs call for more legislation
than it is possible for the congress to
carefully consider, thoroughly debate and
properly enact.
'If we were to have these powers en-
larged so as to take away from the states
the subject of legislation In any consid-
cradle number which now belong to the
states, or are reserved to the people, IT
would mean that the government of
Washington would simply be swamped,
unless, while we are amending the con-
stitution to make such a change, we
should also provide for less representa-
tive and more thorough method of enact
ing laws and exercising federal power,
and that, it may be assumed, the Ameri-
can people will not be willing to do so
long as they appreciate American liberty
IT do not know any tendency more I'M
fortunate than that which is rapidly
growing of every man who has griev-
ance, real or imagined, rushing off to
Washington with his tale of woe and
search of relief. 1 don't know a surer
way to bring our federal government to
failure, disrepute and overthrow than to
saddle on it, if we could the innumerable
duties that have been suggested, nor do l
know q surer way than destroying the
dignity efficiency and proper system in
our government system of the great com
that constitutes our union of
states"
