IBOAS MAY HAVE SENT

discover a motive for the murder of
Henry ]. Boas, the young electrician,
VINO died early yesterday from tile ei-
fects of a poison believed to be strycn-
nine, the police of San Francisco and

theory Boas wrote the letter directing
the use OF the enclosed powders as
a remedy for indigestion. and later,
upon its receipt, exhibited both the let
ter and powders to at least two of his
friends.

That Locked Up a Year Ago by
Panic Stricken Persons Now
Coming Into Business.
1T is A DRUG ON THE MARKET.
Al Least Paul Morton. President of
The Equitable Life Insurance
Company, Says That ii Is.

Chicago, Dec. 4.Money locked up IN
safety deposit boxes a year ago by
panic-stricken persons is now coming
out into the channels of trade, accord
ing to a statement by Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life lnsur-
ance company, in a New York interview
by William +. Curtis, printed i'll the
Record Herald here today
Money is IA drug on the market"
said Mr.. Morton. Call money loans
for less than . per cent. Time money
may be had for 3 per cent for 30 days,
and per cent for six months GILT
edge real estate loans in New York are
Az and 5 per cent The insurance
companies are making many loans at
those rates on similar property to that
they have been getting per cent for.
There is an abundance of money look
ing out for Investment. This abnnd-
ance is menace to prosperity, how
ever, because it is apt to stimulate
speculation, encourage boomS and pro
mote wildcat enterprises. But there
is a very healthy atmosphere in New
York financial circles just now. People
are confident, but they are cautious.
There is a good deal more specula-
ton than ] care to see, and prices OF
stocks have gone up quite rapidly. but
/ think there is a justification for IL
in the future and that prices will go
considerably higher before they go
lower
Where does this abundance Of money
come from?"
Much Of it comes from the west:
from the banks in which it has been
deposited by farmers who have no use
for it. The farmers are the richest
portion of our population today; they
were buying pianos and Surveys few
years ago; now they are buying auto
mobiles. 1t is customary to hold au-
tomobile expositions out in the west.
and they are attended by thousands of
farmers who come to buy new machines
or to trade their old machines for the
later patterns. The crops this year
are bigger than ever; the prices
are higher than ever, and the farmers
will have more money than ever. They
Will deposit in the local banks, which

that the spiritual lords of parliament
be reduced to 10, to be elected by the
bishops--two archbishops during the
tenure of their sees and the other eight
for the duration of each parliament;
that Canada, Australia, New Zealand

that 20 years. service in the house Of

the reformed house OF lords about $50
members, namely, three peers of the
royal blood: 200 peers to be elected:
about 100 qualified hereditary peers; 10
spiritual lords and five judges.

.DESERTiONs FROM ARMY
ARE GROWING LESS

Washington, Dec. 4-The campaign
in the war department against deser-.
tons from the army is meeting with
success, according to Adjt. Gen. Is. q.
Ainsworth. q. S. a., who stated in his
annual report to the secretary OF war;,
made public today that the relative
number OF desertions was less in 1908.
than in any other fiscal year since 1901.
The desertions during the fiscal year
1908, were 1850, or 4,6 per cent of the
whole number of enlisted men in the
service In the army during that year,
z In 1907, the precentage was o.b ana
in 1906. it reached the record of IA
per cent. Every branch Of the service
showed a decrease i'll the number of
assertions during the year, with the
single exception of the hospital corps,
where there was a slight increase.
In analyzing the problem of dealings
With assertions. the report says that
the Fourteenth cavalry had the largest
relative number OF assertions of any
organization in the service. while the
Third infantry came second and the
Fifth cavalry third. In Troop g, of the
Fourteenth cavalry the assertions
amounted to Ellis per cent of the whole
number of enlistment contracts that
might have been terminated by deser-
ton.
Boise barracks. Idaho, enjoys the.
notoriety Of having the most assertions
of any post, the number reaching 1875
per cent, while Fort William Henry
Harrison, Montana. Fort Brandt. Michi-
gan. Fort Duchesne, Utah, and Fort d.
A. Russell, Wyoming. proved unattrac-
tive in the order enumerated.
Gen. Ainsworth points out the sig
nificant fact that of the white troops,

while only 0.57 per cent of the colored

VANCE SENTENCE
AGAIN POSTPONED.
-----------------
Motion for a New Trial Effects a
Long Delay In
Case.
THE JUDGE AND JURY ERRED
This Is the Contention OF Defendant,
Expressed by His
Counsel.

Not until Jan. IL next Viii Thomas
Vance know what will be his fate for
killing his wife, even if sentence is
passed OH the day indicated. Already
there have been two postponements,
and how many more there will be be-
fore judgment is pronounced can not
even be eonjcctured. 1t is plainly to
be seen that everything possible will
be done by defendant, his friends and
OF sentence, and after that the case Will.
be carried 10 the highest tribunal.
Yesterday was the day set for the
passing ot sentence on Vance, but the
case went over until today, and this
morning a further postponemcnt was
asked Tor and granted, deterring all
action on the part OF the state until
Jan. IL. This came as the result OF d
motion for a new trial, filed by coun-
sci for Vance late yesterday afternoon
in the office of the clerk of the court.
OPPOSED BY STATE.
This morning Dist. Atty. Loofbourow
called the attention Of Judge Arm
strong to the motion filed, and Atty.
John f. Tobin, associate counsel for
Vance asked that sentence be not pass
would require at least months time
to get a transcript of the trial pro-
ceedings. The request was not op
posed by the state, and the court made
the order asked for.
A goodly sized crowd had collected
in the courtroom, expecting to hear
something sensational. but the proceed
ings We're formal and brief. Several
of the spectators were women, and
necks We're craned in the direction of
Vance, who sat compacently, chewing
gum. Whether the prisoner has an I'M
usual fondness for gum, or whether he
is better able to control his emotions
when working his jaws, Is not appar
ent, but every time he has been be-
fore the court, from the first day of
the preliminary hearing, he has chewed
gum necessarily.
HANDCUFFED TO PRISONER
Today, rs yesterday, Vance was
brought to court and taken from it
hnndcuffed to Ermangildo Digoman, ain
Italian charged with assault With intent
to commit murder.
The points relied upon by the de-
fellse 10 sseatl q ,sesY triai are biased
mainly OIL alleged errors OF the court
in the instructions given to the jury.
coupled with errors and misconduct OF
the jurors themselves. The ninth
clause of the instructions is particu-
larly objected to by the defense, as
defining murder in the second degree.
The defense also contends that a re-
mark alleged to have been made by
Juror Hanchett subsequent to the YER
diet, showed that the jurors mind had
become prejudiced before all tho evil
dence had been heard. Mr.. Hanchett's
statement was to the effect that his
mind was made up that Vance was
guilty soon after the latter took the
witness stand in his own behalf.
