NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The STOCK
market today continued to be largely
one Of s2ecialities. The Hartman
Pacifics were pushed into prominence
but even the usually influential lead
ers did not revive any animal on in
the dealings in the high grade stocks
which in common practice predominant

strength Of the Harrimans was con-
nected with the showing Of the an
nual report OF the Union Pacific and
its aux liaries. but the persual OF the
annual report was Of less influence
on the mind OF the average specu'
lative follower OF the market than
was the demonstrative buying Of the
Harrimans and of other stocks by
brokers credited with acting for STAN
dard Oil interests.
The openess with which large or
ders were executed from these sour
ces. was supposed to mean procla-
nation Of confidence In higher prices
on the part Of the buyers. Filing OF
notice with the Interstate Commerce
Commission Of an increase in trans
continental freight rates on January
ives a helpful factcr in shares OF
railroads in that group. The metal
industrials enjoyed some renewed
strength.
A rise in the price OF copper in
London and a recovery in the pric1
of silver were OF benefit. Belief
that agreement is near on specifica-
lions for steel rails between the Penn
sylvania and the United States Steel

elected sergeant at arms and Urey

the committee and L. B. Hall Of Ne

committee and Bryan and Kern. 1t
was. the first time in many years that
a national chairman had been selected
by the democratic party and only af
ter bitter contest had been waged
The choice Of Mack was made pos
sible only after the New York lead
ers, Charles F. Murphy of Tammany
Hall and w. J. Conners, chairman of
the State Democratic Committee,
had yielded to the personal desires of
Bryan. There were in the race be-
sides Mack, Judge M. ]. Wade Of

former Governor Campbell of Ohio,
and Urey Woodson. The sentiment
for Mack steadily grew until it re-
manned for the New York leaders to

Conners and Murphy Withdrew any
objection to Mack. who thereupon

HOPE IN SUPREME COURT.
Issues May be Appealed to the United
States Federal Court Through
Application For Writ of Ger
tiorari-Is Much Activity.

CHICAGO, July 25,-President
Roosevelt's statement of the Stand
ard Oil decision had the effect of a
galvanic battery on the governments
legal forces in Chicago yesterday,
District Attorneys Sims and his as
sistants are straining every nerve to
regain the $29,24O,O00 fine, which
slipped through their fingers in the
decision of the court OF appeals.
TIE government prosecutor realizes
that to go to trial again would even,
in the event Of a conviction, mean
much smaller fine He, therefore,
basis his hope on the theory of At
torney-General Bonaparte that the
issues may be appealed to the United
States supreme court through appli-
cation for a writ of certiorari. The
course of the action as now mapped
out by the government is understood
to include an application by the At
torney-General for a writ Of certio-
rari, and a petition for rehearing be-
fore the United States court of ap-
peals
Mr., Sims and his aides, James H.
Wilkerson and Harry A. Parkin,
were in telegraphic communication on
this subject with Mr.. Bonaparte yes
terdal The local department Of the
Bureau Of Justice will probably de-
vote its attention to the application
for rehearing while Frank B, Kel-
logg, who will be called into the case
at the suggestion Of President Roose-.
welt will, it is understood, prepare the
action that is to be presented to the
supreme court.

The Prisoner Served Time at Nc
Neips Island Once Before For a
Similar offense - Man Talks But
Little OF Himself.

KANSAS CITY, July 2s.--charles
w. Savage, a negro, was arrested
here today by postoffice authorities
charged with stealing mail pouch in
the Kansas City Union Station June
s last, getting $4,000 being sent
from Los Angeles to a New York
City bank. The inspectors assert
that positive evidence against Savage
and declare their belief that he has
buried the money, intending to re-
cover it after his release from the
penitentiary.
Savage was taken into custody a
few hours after he returned to the
city. He had since leaving visited
several cities in the west, including
Denver. In his pocket the detectives
found a clipping from Denver
newspaper giving the calculations of
a robber who had stolen a large sum
OF money and buried it. The man had
been sent to the penitentiary for a
number OF years and in the stories he
figured il out that by serving GER
tain number OF years he would, upon
his release, have earned $4,000 a
year. Upon this the inspectors base
their belief that Savage has concealed
the stolen money, hoping to regain it
when finally he is given his freedom,
"A few days following the Kansas
City robbery, Savage was arrest
ed by the local police, He paid a law
yer $500 to defend him and was re-
leased, the Judge holding that there
was not sufficient evidence on which
to hold the man, Savage immediate
ly left the city and since then evi-
IDENTIFY has travelled extensively. The
postoffice inspectors had information
that Savage would return here today,
and when he appeared at negro
lodging house they arrested him, Saw
age surrendered without a struggle
and was taken to the postoffice build
ing, He was put Under several ex-
aminations, Aside from admitting
that he had served a sentence on Nc

It is Said.

LONDON. July 2s.-The British
Olympic Committee continues to be
as disagreeable as the weather, WHICH
lis putting it about as strongly as pos
sible. The autocratic policy adopted
in the American protest of the tug
of-war drove all other nations from
the event, and Britain had things all
to herself. No one paid the slightest
attention to the farce, however, and
the london policemen tugged them
selves to death for the decision over
the heavily shod Liverpool cops.
James f. Sullivan, president Of the
A. A. U. and Americas Olympic
Commissioner, is authority for the
statement that the American team
will stick it out to the bitter end,
despite the adverse decisions Of the
British and the unfair methods which
have been extended to the detriment
of visiting athletes in general Amer
lea is backed by every other nation at
the Stadium, and at word it would
be possible to wreck the meeting by
a wholesale withdrawal. Even Can
ada and Australia stand ready to fol-
low the lead Of the United States
There there has not already been a
general withdrawal is due to the fact
that no European country wishes TO
