SEEK TO SECURE RELEASE
OF ALLEGED DYNAMITER

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-THE
first move to secure the release of John
Claudianes, held on suspicion of being
connected with the Gallagher dynanit-
ing, was made this evening when
James w. Scott, an attorney, applied
for a writ of habeas corpus. Judge
Cook granted writ returnable at IL
o'clock next Monday morning. The
writ is directed against Chief of Police
Buggy.
Tonight Detective Burns took Claud-
lanes away from the city prison where
he has been held and there is consid-
cradle mystery as to where he trans
ferred the prisoner. The supposition
is that it is the desire to have Claud-
lanes out of the custody of Chief Biggy
when the writ is served.

TO SKIN THE SUCKERS"
By w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, November Elf MT. Harri-
 man and his intimate following are sore or disconcerted at the way the market has taken enormous liquidation during the past two weeks there is no evidence of 1t. A ccordlng to the belief of the wiseacres (who for the most part are not half as wise as they think they are and who oftentimes have their vision woefully circumscribed by prejudice and lack of information), the great market leaders were desirous of an immediate break in prices after they had realized profits on the vast lines of stocks bought through out the progress of the extraordinary bull campaign of the last six months.
 There appears to be no actual basis for this ingenious theory beyond a strict ly professional Wall street view that the sole aim and purpose of the great masters of finance, speculation and transportation is to skin the suckers" in the stock mar ket. This view of the situation might properly be designated as the bucket-shop conception of the great affairs in the world of finance and industry. In the big schemes of the big men who are in con trol of the great industrial and railroad, corporations Wall street is a side issue "a necessary side issue, it is true, but none the less not the main proposition
 Wall street is the market in which val ues are established and which is the rec ognized register of prices at which buyer and seller of securities meet. It is also arena in which insiders are enabled by reason of their superior knowledge and skill to extract from the public ever year immense speculative profits. These profits they could not secure did they not make good in dividends and interest upon the great enterprises they control or which are entrusted to their management It is true beyond dispute that the big in- siders do milk the market. They carry on sreculations in stocks as a pastime and to keep themselves in control of the mar ket machinery so they can use it in emer- gencies and in the carry.ng on of their vast ioatation enterprises for the pro- curement of new capital for extensions and aggrandizement This is part and parcel of the great game of modern con quest.
