New York, Oct, 31.-A favorable
feature of the financial situation to-
day was the tremendous buying of
stock in small lots for investment as
reported by the big brokers.
Purchasers are paying cash and the
volume of business during the past
week runs we'll into millions.
Not in a score of years has Wall
street experienced such a flood OF
buying orders in lots for transfer to
the purchasers. The majority OF
these orders are for blocks Of stock
Of s, 10, 25 aud so shares, while
sales of one and two shares are being
frequently recorded.
W. j. Wellman of J. s. Bache d
Company, bankers and brokers, said
today that such sales by that firm
amount to between $500, 600 and
$3.50. 600 a day and that the orders
are coimng in from all parts of the
country.

ing received came from points west
of the Mississippi. These calls are
being met as fast as conditions per-
init. MIR. Williams, the new state
superintendent of banking, gathered
up most of the cash in the suspended
banks today and deposited it with
going institutions. thereby adding
several million dollars tn the funds
available in the market. The debt
balances against banks at the clear
ing house were smaller than usual
under normal conditions, all such
balances aggregating ouly a little
more than 80, 600, 600 on clearinRs Of
$3.50, 600, 600.
One of the points at which the
most serious pressure for money is
expected is at New Orleans, in order
to finance the movement of the cotton
crop. The pressure there is always
urgent at this season OF the year and
promises to be even more intense
this year than usual, unless special
preparations are made. The New
! Orleans bankers seem to be fully
alive to this situation and we're en-
deayorinR today to arrange for trans-
fers of money from Europe in pay
ment for cotton through the bsoal
agents Of the United States in Europe
and its direct transmission by cable

Moscow, Idaho, Oct. 31.-The
session of the United States district
court was occupied yesterday after
noon with argument in the William
Dollar case on plea of abatement.
The government was represented by
United States Deputy Attorney Miles
s. johnson and the defense by Frank
II. Graves of Spokane aud John P.
Gray of Wallace. The defense in
their pleas and arguments raised
fine question of the meaning of the
United States statute governing
the drawing of grand and trial iur-
ors,
The plea in abatement went to the
question of quash1ng the indictment
against william Dollar, charged with
timber land frauds, on the ground
that the United States grand jury
which found said indictment was not
properly and legally drawn.
The contention of the defense is;
One, that the clerk of the United
States district court used box from
which to draw his jury lists that has
been in use since the admission of
Idaho as a state; that the box has
never been purged of 'dead and dis
qualified" names since put into use;
that it now contains the names of
those who are either dead, insane or
have removed from the state or the
United States; that to this box names
are continually being added.
Second, that b. S. Howe, of Boise,
Idaho, United States jury commits
sioner for Idaho, does not, within
tie meaning of the law, participate
in the drawing of jurors; that Clerk
Richardson has awlays followed the
practice of sending to the different
counties of Idaho and procuring the
lists of jurors prepared by the county
commissioners and from these he has
made his lists; that Richardson has
prepared the slips, each bearing a
single name; that when the drawing
was had Howe put one name into the
box. Richardson one, thus alternating
until the required number was drawn
that the part of Howe was merely
mechanical aud not an intelligent
participation as the law means and
provides; that such course is bias
and prejudice to defendants.
Today when court convened Geroge
E. Preston, who was indicted with
William Dollar and A. +. Swisher,
plead guilty to the charge of con-
spiroy to defraud the government out
of certain lands This land is said
to lie near Clarkia and involves
three quarters of 100 acres each. II
has since become very valuable, being
covered with heavy timber. Preston
was locator in 1904, when the
frauds are said to have occurred.
The case of William Dollar was sci
for Monday, Nov. A. The court

of particulars but he directed tho

TORPEDO on CAR TRACKS
Score Of People Injured, Two seri.
ously, at Chicago.

Chicago, May 29.-Two men we're
badly injured by broken glass and a
score of others sustained slight in
iuries when a street car on the Calu-
met Electric railway was blown from
the tracks by a torpedo at Ninety
third street and South Chicago ave-
nue.. The explosion lifted the car from
the tracks and dumped it into the
roadway. The car was crowded with
men and in the panic that ensued
many were thrown down and trampled
upon.
A rumor which found considerable
credence was that the torpedo was
placed with the original design Of
blowing up prospective passengers on
the gambling boat City Of Traverse,
whose landing place is about a block
away, the theory advanced being that
it was planted either by religious
fanatics or by rivals of the City of
Traverse crowd. The police are in
vestigating this report, but have found
no evidence to substantiate it.
