The recent election in Oklaho

Inc recent cleCulOIl Ill OhidlO-
ma resulted in Democratic vic
tory, the adoption of the consti-
tuition and the establishment. of
prohibition in the new state. De-
mocracy and prohibition have
been belligerents in Kansas for
more than twenty-five years but
the result of this election would
point toward a reconciliation be-

with larger population than any
other territory at the time of its
admission having only a little less

and when adjournment until Monday

Evans, one of the alienists for the de-

course in questioning the witness was
somewhat battling. During the great
er part of the time he seemed DESTROYS
to have DR.. Evans unqualifiedly ad-
nit that Thaw suffered from peranoia,
which is practically incurable. Again
he brought out from the witness the
opinion that when Thaw armed him
self he well knew that a revolver was
an instrument for self-protection and
when fired into the human body would
produce death. Finally the prosecutor
wanted to know if the action of a per-
son suffering from a brain storm or
mental explosion, would be character
lied by the calm. deliberate manner
which Thaw displayed the night he SHOT

Madison Square Roof Garden.

Merchants Visiting Leading
Markets For Spring Stock.
Prolonged Freight Blockade In
Northwest Is Broken.

New York, March 1.-Bradstreet's
State of Trade tomorrow will say:
Trade has improved all around, the
impetus being furnished by the return
of more favorable weather, the pres
ence of country merchants in leading
markets and the near approach of the
easter holidays. Hous. trade has
been more active and in such lines as
cotton dry goods, dress goods and wool
en- goods prices do not deter the plac-
report stocks quite low and money
plentiful. The grain markets have
been irregularly strong, taking the
week as Il whole.
Pig iron markets continue quiet
Spot iron commands lower premiums
but no hard and fast rule can be ap-
piled to quotations.. In copper consid-
era BILE business has been placed for de-
livery in April and May. Premiums
are increasing for anything like prompt
supplies.
The wool market displays marked
firmness and more activity has devol-
oped in domestic as well as foreign
grades. Although 1926 pounds ar
rived from Australia within n week,
demand for the foreign product has not
abated. In this connection it is signiti-
cant that changes in fashion appear to
have developed greater tendency to
use wooden goods and help the sale
of foreign wool adopted to this class OF
fabric. To meet this competition max
ers of worsteds are putting up goods
Of a finer finish which are meeting with
ready sales. Wooden and worsted manu-
facturers are in the market for large
lots of any wool available pending ar
rivals of delayed foreign lots. Stocks
of domestic wool are very low.
