 MOVING UPWARD
Some Predictions Regarding the Con-
 tents of the Presidents Message.

New York, Dec. 4.-The restraint un- der which operations for higher prices in the stock market labOred during the week were thrown off to a large extent today, and the advance was resumed with more appearance of harmony than any movement has shown in many days.
 The change is not explained by any striking item of news, although there was much discussion of the supposed contents of the forthcoming message of President Roosevelt. Word was passed around that the tone was mild and that 1t contained nothing calculated to frighten the most timid speculator. The action owed something to the re- lief afforded by the speculative liquida- ton already affected. That was nota bly true of steel, in which selling was persistent throughout the week The freedom with which that stock ad- vanced was of material effect in shap- ing sentiment. The group was con spicuous feature in the dealings. Great Northern pfd. was the leader of high priced stocks.
 Bonds were strong.

-Willemsted Dec. 4.-Having been un- able to obtain an amicable settlement of the outstanding differences with Venezuela, the Netherlands government has begun a naval demonstration off the coast of the South American re- public and since Wednesday, vessels flying Dutch flags have steamed from Puerto CabellO to Laguiarra at & dis- tance of three thousand yards from the shore. -s i -.

 The two cruisers had proceeded to MaraeaibO. it was said, though the off ficers observed secrecy concerning the movements of the vessels. The Van Heemskerk will relieve the Gelderiand at Maracaibo on Monday.
 With steam up in all her boilers the Van Heemskerk arrived at Laguiara at o'clock this morning As soon as she was sighted all the lights in the city were extinguished. Rrom the dock of the vessels could be seen guns ashore pointing toward the battleship which was kept ready for action. The Van Heemskerk remained but one day off Laguaira and yesterday proceeded up the coast.

BUSINESS TODAY
Shows An Improvement Over That of
 Year Ago.

New York, Dec. 4-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Weather conditions have been irrgular, but the arrival of a cold wave, following unreasonable mild temperatures has stimulated retail trade in the north, west and east and has even helped business at the south in some points, though the holding of cotton and low. prices there have tend ed to check buying in the cotton bel as a whole.
 Collections have shared in the ir- regularity in trade. and there is a mo- ticeably more complaint of these than that of business generally, more par in the south. The holiday trade shows signs of expansion and comparisons with year ago in all lines are naturally in favor of the cur rent business.

a deadly poison with which to take his own life.
 Despite numerous and vigorous ob- jections by Attorney Gurley, the court permitted Mrs. Rice to recite her story. which was done during a quiet spell in the court room. which made her voice plainly heard all over the big room.
 The state placed a number of wit nesses on the stand during the after noon to corroborate the testimony of Mrs. Rice and to fix the time of Dr. Rustin's movements and those of Davis during the evening preceding the death of the former. The ex- hibits offered in evidence formed an other interesting portion of the days proceedings. following which the state rested.
 The defense quickly began the in troduction of witnesses to impeach those of the state who had testified as to the time Rustin and Davis were seen down town and it was employed on that line when the evening ad- journment was taken. Judge Sears announced that the usual Saturday afternoon recess would not be taken tomorrow.

THE DEFENSE UNCERTAIN
Its Testimony May Require Weeks or it May Need no Time at all and the End May Come Suddenly Next Monday.

San Francisco, Dec 4.-With all the testimony for the state before the jury. the prosecution rested it's case late this afternoon in the third trial. of Abraham Ruef. the former political boss of San Francisco, charged with having offered a bribe to former Su- pervisor John J. Furey to vote for the franchise for the United Railroads in 1906. Counsel for Ruef stated that it
 might take no time at all to put in the case for the defense, or it might take a week or it might take three weeks and they declined to make known until Monday morning. until which time court adjourned, whether the defense would offer any testimony or submit the case without placing witnesses upon the Stand, as was done in the previous trials. The case has been on trial for fourteen weeks. ten weeks of which were consumed in get a jury.
 Half a dozen witnesses were called by the prosecution today and the pro- eeedings were marked by many caustic verbal tits between Henry Ach, chief counsel for Ruef and Hiram Johnson. one of the attorneys assisting the dis trict attorneys office. in which one appealed to the court to compel the other to "sit down."
 - G. II. Umbsen. a prominent real es- tate dealer who told of having engaged Ruef for fee of $30.000 to get fran chise from the board of supervisors for the Parkside Railway company; Charles J. Haggerty, Ruefs office boy. who said he did a little of every thing" for his employer. recalled some of the incidents connected with the de- fendant in April 1906. and told of the visit of Thornwell Mullally and Tirey l.. Ford of the United Railroads to Ruef when the latter's office consisted of a kitchen and bath room: w w Sanderson, attorney; Dr. Jos. F. Po- hein, former police commissioner; A J. Burns. an employe of the mint, and Paul Sinsheimer a newspaper reporter, gave their testimony today.
 Sinsheimer testified to an interview he had with Ruef the day after Ruef pleaded guilty to the charge of extor- tiOn in which the former political boss stated 'he would beat most of the in- dictments returned against him. but he thought possibly the prosecution might get him on one or two. At the conclusion of his cross examination by the counsel for Ruef, Assistant Dis trict Attorney John O'Gara announc- ed: the prosecution rests its case'

 Dr. Abbot, who was the principal speaker at the meeting. argued against what he held would be the infliction of new and unnatural responsibilities and duties upon women by forcing upon them the obligations of public life.
 Secretary Root, in a letter which was read, said: 'I do not myself con sider that the granting of suffrage to women would under the existing con- ditions. be any improvement in our system of government. On the con trary I think it would rather reduce than increase the electoral efficiency of the people.

But President Roosevelt Not
 Enthusiastic on Subject g AN UNIMPORTANT MATTER
The Experiment of Voting Has so Far Not Resulted
 in Advantage to Women or to the Public--Home's the Place Where sThey Shine.

New York, Dec. 4.-The attitude of President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Elihu Root on the subject of woman suffrage was disclosed today at a meeting under the auspices of the National League for the Civic Educa- ton of women.
 Rev. pr. Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook, in the course of-an address in opposition to granting the right to vote to women. read a letter from President Roosevelt. which, he said he read with n, residents permission, although it A. 'not written for publication nor for $ occasion.
 In part President Roosevelt said: Practically I believe in woman's suf- frage, but I am not an enthusiastic ad- VOCate of it, because I do not regard it as a very important matter. l am un- able to see that there has been any special improvement in the condition of women in those states in the west that have adopted woman suffrages. as compared with those states adjoining them that have not adopted it. I do not think that giving women suffrage will produce any marked improvement in the condition of woman. I do not believe it will prevent any of the evils feared, and I am certain that when women, as a whole take any especial interest in the matter they will have suffrage if ther desire it. But at pres ent I think most of them are lukewarm. I find some activity for it and some actively against it. believe that man and woman should stand on an equali-
