PROOF SYMPTOMS.
BY r. C. sHoTWELL.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Reading and
Erie were the strongest features In
the early trading, today. In the other
shares heavy profit taking was in EVIL
dence, but In spite OF heavy blocks
being thrown on the market, prices
held up well. Even q bullish adver-
tisement by Thomas w. Lawson failed
to break the market which seemed to
be "faker-proof."
London pretended to be worried
again over another war, but Wall-st.
is beginning to suspect that the Euro
pean war news is manufactured in
New York. AS result Of profit TAX
ing the buying orders from public in
vestors did not cause any advance
early In the day.
There was disposition to shift
trading toward the specialties, many
OF which have not advanced In pro-
portion to the leaders.
On the curb market Copper mining
stocks were the feature with silver
shares running a close second. The
whole outside was firm. Fresh inter
est Is being taken in the Goldfield
stocks. but they do not have q broad
market as yet. The government de-
cision caused a decline In American
Tobacco stocks at $15.
The census bureaus cotton report
showed that $4,000 bales had been
ginned up to Nov. /. This compares
with ginnings Of 6,167,600 bales up
to the same time last year.

Nearly $1,000 worth Of dice was
found In the possession Of Charles

up In police headquarters on sus-
picion. pending investigation. Zonner
had STU ON his person when arrested.
According to information received
by the detectives, Conner was connect
cd with q game that was conducted,
until recently. In Considine's place on
Monroe-ave.
Conner IL not stranger to the po-
lice. He was picked up on suspicion
about q year ago, on which occasion,
as on this. large quantity OF dice was
found in his possession. Several OF
the specimens we're cut open and
found to be loaded. and 1t IL probable
those gathered In the latest seizure
will be submitted to q similar test.
Capt. Alphonse Baker. Of the central
precinct. says Conner manufactures
loaded dice ON q large scale and sells
them all over the country.
The girl arrested with Conner says
she came here recently from Saginaw
and has been employed until lately in
local hospital as a domestic. She
was arrested because she was found In
Zonner's company. and 1t Is not likely
that she will be held.

DENVER, Nov. 9.-The twenty.
eighth annual convention Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor was called
to order shortly after 10 O'Clock this
morning. It IL predicted that his ses-
sion will be the most important gath
ering Of delegates In the history of
that body.
The important question to be dis
cussed Is Endorsement Of the politi-
cal program carried out by the ex-
ecutive council In the recent political
campaign, which has generally been
referred to as Mr.. Gompers' plan.
Opponents OF Samuel Gompers, pres
ident Of the federation. are working
together in an effort TO prevent his
reelection. They are charging him
with "pernicious political activity"
Among those who are expected to
lead the fight on the federatiou's pres
ident IL President Daniel Keefe. Of De-
troit, OF the Longshoremen's union, who
was charged with deserving the fed
eration's legislative committee and
coming out for Taft.
Denver labor leaders who will par.
ticipate In the sessions Of the con-
vention laugh at the idea of defeating
Gompers. They declare that not only
will he be upheld, but that Keefe will
be removed from his place as a vice
president Of the federation. while all
Keefe's followers will suffer like de-
feat for whatever ONCE or other pre-
ferment they may seek.

FORGING CHECK
POLICE WILL INVESTIGATE HIGH
FINANCE METHODS OF
CHARLES WILSON,.

A man giving his name as Charles
Wilson, AZ years old, was arrested by
Detectives High and Larkins. Monday
morning, Just as he was about to
board an outbound Pontiac car. and Is
held on suspicion pending further In
vestigation Of a charge that he at
tempted to pass a worthless check on
Jarvis & Lamkins. grocers at No. 125
Michigan-ave.. Saturday. The check
was drawn for small amount and
purported to have been endorsed by
John r. Sullivan, Michigan-ave. fur.
niture dealer. Wilson was asked to
wait while the Arm submitted the
check for Mr. Sullivan's inspection.
The latter, II is said, pronounced his
signature a forgery, but by the time
the discovery was made, Wilson had
disappeared.
Monday morning a member OF the
grocery firm saw the man pass the
store and followed him down Michi-
gan.ave. In the meantime the police
had been notified from the store, and
Detectives High and Larkins appeared
just In time to nab the fellow. The de-
tectives were informed that Wilson
had two other checks In his posses
sion Saturday, and az these have dis
appeared II Is thought he disposed OF
them.
Wilson claims to hall from Pontiac,
but the officers believe both the ad-
dress and the name are assumed. The
prisoner refused to be ''mugged" Mon
day morning, but he will be photo
era phed in epite OF his objections in
an effort to learn whether he Is
known In other cities OF the country,
and IL he Is wanted elsewhere.

the supreme court of the United
States, after getting life sentence,
will receive q consideration OF his
case today.
Patrick contended the governor had
no legal right to commute his death
sentence over his protests. as It was
against the federal constitution. He
has maintained that the action being
illegal, there is nothing now In the
way Of his liberty but the setting aside
Of this sentence on constitutional
grounds.
This contention was raised in the
circuit court Of the United States and
denied by that body. The case was
then appealed to the supreme court.
VIM. l.. Mcdonald, Patrick's attor-
ney, win ask that the case be adj
vanced. He will also ask that a writ
Of habeas corpus be issued that fat-
rick may argue his own case before
the supreme court.

MAKES TRAINING IN STRATEGY
Popular Japanese Game Shows Bent
of National Mind.

A letter from Japan published In a
German paper says: when one sees
how popular the game of shogi is here
1t is easy to understand the superiori-
ty of the Japanese as strategic OFF,
GERS. The game is played on board
and is in some respects like chess, but
it has so many peculiarities that it is
a thing in itself. Each player has 20
pieces, the direction in which they
move is indicated by arrows on the
top or smaller end of the pieces. A
captured piece is not laid aside, but
becomes the property Of the captor
and is impressed into his service. This
is characteristic Of the people, who
know so we'll how to utilize the works
and ideas of others. Another feature
of the game is that when a piece sue
ceeds in crossing into the enemy's ter.
ritory it's value becomes increased and
its identity as to superiority is es-
tablished by reversing it, turning 1t on
its head. Despite the complicated situ-
ations the rudiments of the game are
easily acquired, and hence its popular
ity."
