Goodenough was formerly pastor of the East Pearl Street NJ, E church of this city and he is well known in New Ha-. ven. He is finishing his eighth year as pastor of one of the largest and most influential churches. Among some of his district he was considered very fla vorably as possible successor to the present presiding elder, Rev, w. A. Richard. whose term expires with this conference; but he was not available as he was committed to the church at Bristol for another year. He will be a strong candidate as representative from the Connecticut pastors. In the New England Southern the representatives will she largely from the Rhode Island and Massachusetts portion of that con ference. but the presiding elder of the Norwich district will have many votes He is new in his office but is gaining an enviable place in the affection of the preachers. Rev. w. S. McIntire, D D., of Rockville, has many followers, as has also Rev. w. F. Davis of South Manchester.
 The General Conference is the admin istrative body of the church, meeting once in four years. It is the highest body in Methodism and the final count of appeal for all questions of ec- clesiastical law and administrative pol icy, In its membership VIII be found the most conspicuous ministers and laymen of the Methodist Episcopal church and the general public will expect much of interest from the meeting at Baltimore.

LAWSON's YUKON GOLD.
Brokers Waiting for Rise-Only Small
 Blocks Sold.

New York March 3o Yukon Gold stock was traded in during the first half of the day on the Broad street curb to the extent of 100000 shares, with most of the public buying small of1ers, ranging from ten to 100 shares. Afte opening at 3-4 and selling up to [ IA within a few minutes, 1t gradual ly sold off and was Is at noontime. Later 1t rebounded to 6 3-s, and was pressed for sale at that level.
 It Is probable that few persons tried to sell below seven who had bought be- fore to-day. since it gave little chance to make any profit Brokers appeared to be holding on all day waiting for the stock to go to 10 or l5 SO they could unload at a huge profit, as 1t was pos sible to do in the summer of 1906 on the great rise in Nipissing from around six to above thirty.
 Trading was quiet in the last hour. with most of the sales around 6 Is. The low price up to 2:45 o'clock was six. Total sales about l75,0O0 shares
 Soioman K. Guggenheim president of the Yukon Gold Mining and Dredging company, was quoted to-day as saying:
 Tn view of the misleading reports regarding the attitude cf the Guggen- helms with respect to the marketing of the shares of the Yukon Gold com pany, l consider it but just to our selves and to all concerned that we make our position plain. The arrange ment for the sale of 100000 shares of treasury stock was made by Daniel Guggenheim just before his departure for Europe. We have no criticism o1 complaint to make as to the manner of marketing the stock. and have never attempted to repudiate any of the statements published by Mir. Lawson concerning the property"

TEN WEEKS WORK
COMPLETES JURY
TESTIMONY IN RUFF CASE
BEGINS TODAY
Transcript of Questions Asked and
Answered Would Make Two
Volumes of Bible Size

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5-The TAX
ing of testimony in the third trial OF
Abraham Ruef, former political boss
of this city, on one of the several
score of indictments against him charS-
ing him with bribery, will be COM
menced before Superior Judge Lawlor
tomorrow.
After ten weeks work, during which
time more than 1400 veniremen were
summoned, q new record in criminal
cases, the twelfth man to complete
the jury was secured and sworn In
today.
The work of getting a jury was be-
gun August &C. The transcript OF the
examination of the veniremen covers
5000 pages, containing 1,375,000 words,
and if printed would make two vol
umes the size of the Bible. The cost
of the Transcripts alone preliminary TO
the actual trial is about $4,000.
The specific charge upon which Ruef
will be tried this time is the bribing
of former Supervisor John ]. Furey to
vote for a trolley franchise for the
United Railroads, which was granted
TO the street railway company soon
after the disaster of April IS. 1906.
Assistant District Attorney Francis

which have occupied the courts in this
city for almost two years, will make

SOCIALIST VOTE
SHOWS INCREASE
TOTAL MAY AGGREGATE 800,'
600, is BELIEF
Big Strike in Chicago Four Years Ago
Did Much to Swell the Figure
in Favor of Eugene
Debs

CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-Deelaring that
the Socialist party has made tremen-
dous strides since the election four
years ago, A. M. Simons, national
committeeman, discussed the apparent
loss to Debs in some of the larger
cities.
"The reason for this apparent de-
fection.' he said. ''is the fact that four
years ago many Democrats who could
not vote for Parker voted for Debs,
and this year many of them returned
to the Democratic standard. In addi-
tion there was a big strike on in Chi
cago four years ago and that swelled
our vote perceptibly.
However, we are likely to find we
have polled an increase greater than
25 per cent over the figures of 1904.
"Mr. Gompers Influenced the labor
vote, on which the Socialist Party de-
pends to a great extent. His words
caused many thousands of semi So
cialists of radical views to vote for
Mr.. Bryan and also frightened many
conservative laboring men into voting
for Mr.. Taft. We are particularly
pleased with results on the Pacific
coast, where an increased vote was
shown in many towns. We have re-
ceived word of gains in Texas towns,
in Missouri, and few towns in New
York.
The total vote for Mr.. Debs, it is
estimated may exceed 10000
