LAY WITNESSES TESTIFY
At THE HARPER TRIAL

Arguments by counsel for both sides
as to the admissibuity of evidence by
lay witnesses. as to the physiological
erect Of a headache remedy manufac-
tured by the defendant, consumed near
" the entire morning session Of the
trial of Robert n. Harper. for an al
legged violation Of the pure food and
drug act. When tho trial was resumed
today William q. Carter was called 20
the stand by the defense.
Mr.. Carter stated that he had been
using the medicine known as "CurfOr
heddke' for a number Of years. At
torney Tucker then asked the witness
to state If the continued use Of the drug
had produced any harmful effects. The
question was objected TO by District
Attorney Baker and the jury was eX-
Cluded from the courtroom while coun-
sci argued the admissibility Of the eyi-
dcnce.
Judge Kimball ruled that the witness
could testify as 10 whether or not the
remedy had stopped his headache, but
could give no evidence tending 20 show
the physiological effects or the drug.

STOCKS VERY DULL,
STILL SHOW TONE
Industrials, Northern Pacific,
and St. Paul Leaders in
straightforward List
Fractionally Higher.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Noon-The &C
ton OF the stock market this morning
was d replica of yesterday morning,
abOminabls dullness and surprising
strength. The only difference IN the
market this morning as compared with
conditions Thursday morning developed
i'm the fact that prices did not hold as
well today, but the gains that were
maintained uD to noon were fully as
important as the betterments yesterday.
II prices were not on a low basis there
would be no stopping the bears from
trampIing the market under foot That
they have not undertaken some such
maneuver at this time s. due either 10
the limited character OF actual stock
liquidation or TO sympathy. They have
had things their way so long that they
have made much money. Moreover lhCy
fear that material enlargement OF their
short lines at this time would but HG
an opportunity, because of the light
supply Of coating securities, 10 run I'D
the market on them. That the market
could make progress toward hlShef
prices In view or the reports from rail-
reads of the country and particularly
the Southern section is more or Tess
remarkable and Is an evidence or more
inherent strength Than Is generally aC-
credited 10 d market as dull DIS this.
There were no Influences on the bull
side OF the market other than the eas-
ness of the money market, and even
here there has been some advance IN
rates recently, Que to the Government
Cau for return of deposits.

one time q fuu point better selling 10

dropped back TO 1lSiL. Even Missouri

the gain. Nipper held "a point Of ~
gain. New York Central and Penpsyl-
the street with its firmness, ODening at

of the miner stocks, showed good
strength.
lis p. MN the second hour OF the
afternoon the market was even more
narrow than i'm the morning hours.
Prices on many securities had sagged
back while d number OF minor stocks
that have not moved at al freely for
weeks showed some little signs OF bet
tcrment and activity.
The market leaders at this time were
Copper, Smelter. Northern Pacific Su-
gar, and Anaconda. They were all rea-
sonably firm, and were leaders IN ac-
JiviJy.
Most Of the other stocks held a frac-
uonal gain, the Steels being but "a high
er at this hour
The indications rather point to a dull,
1eatureless closing.
