PLEASES
CORPORATIONS STILL HAVE
RIGHTS, FiNANCiERS SAY.
CONFIDENCE IS AGAIN RESTORED
Securities Abroad Are Strengthened
and Prosperity Will
Return.

Chicago.-The general opinion of
leaders in the financial world seems
to be that the decision in the Standard
Oil case was proper, and that it would
result in a reaction from the business
depression and inactivity.
Not being a lawyer, am not quail
fled to express an opinion from a
legal point of view,' said Joseph T.
Talbert, vice-president of the Com
mercial National bank. Indeed, the
court has, in a mastery document,
covered the case so thoroughly that
any word by a layman seems superfiu-
Gus.
The decision, however. is of great
importance in marking the limit to
which legislation in response to popu-
lar clamor may go. 1t is important
in its announcement to the world that
property rights are still secure under
the constitution. and that even cor
poration property has not yet been
deprived of these rights.

STAGE ROBBERS GET S2s, 900.
Masked Hiqhwaymen Take the Ex-
press Strong Box.

Reno. Nev.-Details of the hold
up of the Likely and Alturas stage,
lear Likely, about midnight Mon
day, have just been received here.
Two masked highwaymen took the
express strong box, which contained
about $2S,0 600 for pay rolls of construc-
ton crews Of the Nevada-California-
Oregon railway, besides money for
the monthly pay rolls on several of
the largest stock farms in Modre
county.
The stage left Likely at midnight,
and the express agent accompanied
the driver, on account of the great
amount of money in the box.
The bandits were heavily armed and
stepped from the sage brush into the
road about five miles from Likely.
They did not modest the passengers,
but demanded the agent to throw off
the box. After the holdup, they mount
ed their horses and carried the box
about a mile before opening it.
Posses from Alturas have tracked
the highwaymen over the Nevada
state line.

WOMEN and LAWYERS FLO0RED

Hearing.

New York.-Assistant District At
torney Elder of Kings county
was knocked down, women were
crushed, and detectives, police,
bookmakers and lawyers, indis-
c~riminately beaten Friday in a riot
that ragged for half an hour in the
Adams street police court, Brooklyn,

after the police reserves and Mag

the bookmaker, Martin Brau, was cay
ried off triumphantly by the detectives
with his lawyers trailing disconsolate-
ly behind. 1t was supposed that Brau
could give evidence of having paid $40
a day to the police for protection at
the a C track.
Brau was in court with Lawyer Hill
perrin to answer to the charge of max

the crowd of a track sympathizers
surged in. In the fight the assistant
district attorney was knocked over

REBELS MAY ATTACK ALIENS.
Fighting Desperately to Repel Soldiers
Plan to Force Intervention.

ST. Petersburg.-The most desper
ate struggle that has yet taken
place between the revOlutionists and
the shah's troops in Tabriz is 10Y
being waged. Messages received from
Tabriz Friday tell of musketry bat.
ties between the Loyalists and the
N~ationalists mobs.
The last report received said that
the mobs were gradually surrounding
the soldiers of Rachin Khan and that
the final DISBURSEMENT of his troops
seemed imminent. Russia views the
situation with apprehension.
The revolutionists are desperate,
and rather than lose the present strug-
gle, it is feared they will attack the
foreign population to force interven-
ton. This is the plan of Silmas Khoy
Oskuh, new leader of the Nationalist.
NJ. Pohitonoff, the Rusesian consul
in Tabriz, according to last reports, is
practically a prisoner. The revolution
lists are entrenched around his quar-.
tiers. Wire communication with Tab
riz is now broken.

BISHOP POTTER DIES
RELAPSE, FOLLOWING LONG ILL.,
NESS, PREcEDES DEATH.
STOMACH TROUBLE The CAUSE
Disease Had Developed Complications.
Born in Schenectady, N. ",
May rs, 1884.

Cooperstown, N. Y.-Henry Cod
man Potter, bishop of the Epis-
copal diocese of New York, died Tues
day night after an illness of several
weeks.
Stomach trouble, at first, soon de-
veloped into complications, and for
some time he has been expected to
die, although for the last week he had
been improving. He suffered a relapse
two days ago and sank rapidly.
Henry Goldman Potter was born in
Schenectady, N. Y, May rs, 1884. He
was the son of Rev. Alonzo Potter,
who was ~consecrated bishop of Penn
sylvania in 1S45, and nephew of Rev.
Horatio Potter, who was elected pro-
visional bishop of the diocese of New
York in 1854, and who became bishop
of New York in 1861.
Bishop Potter was educated at the
Episcopal Academy in Philadelphia,
and later graduated at the theological
seminary of Virginia, with the class
of 1857. He received honorary de-
grees from the Universities of Cam
bridge and Oxford, Eng, and from
Harvard and Yale.
Bishop Potter always had developed
a great deal of time and study 70 the
temperance question. He was ver at
work upon a great plan to do away
with the saloon evil. and at the same
time offer an inducement to saloon
frequenters fully as attractive, but
with zone of its attendant sordid sim
fulness.
Bishop Potter did not believe in the
elimination of all saloons, as he be-
lieved something just as bad would
spring up.

Berne, Switzerland.-Twenty-fve
men were killed Friday in ar
accident in the Leetschberg tunnel.

Will Strengthen Securities.

The decision will do much to
strengthen confidence in our securities
abroad, and will be no small factor in
assisting the return of general pros
perity."
w. T. Fenton, vice-president of the
National Bank of the Republic. ex-
pressed similar views.
In a broad way it undoubtedly will
have a beneficial effect on all business
he said.
The Standard Oil Co. was guilty,
in my opinion" said Ernest A. Ham
i'll, president of the Corn Exchange
National. 1T should have been Sc
verely punished. But in my opinion
the fine was out of all proportion to
the offense. 1t was so excessive that
it had a depressing effect on business
and I believe hat the decision Of the
higher court will tend to restore con
fidence.

Reason Given for Quick Decision in
Standard Oil Case.

Chicago.-Judge Peter S. Gros-

federal bench was the reason CIV
en for the quick decision of the fed

Oil case. The report was to the effect
that the judge desired to clear up his
docket SO he can resign and practice

The Judge has had many tempting
offers t. leave the bench and ~re-enter
private practice. The most notable in
stance was when he was importuned
to take the Northern Securities case
for James J. Hill, but refused because
the Union Traction troubles were then
