JUDGE AND JURY
GO ''DAFFY" OVER
A WOMANS SKIRT
Pay the HOrrid Tailor for Such a
"B0tCh ?"-Miss Arend
Won't, So There!

TRENTON, Dec. 29.-What Judge
George w. Macpherson did not know
about "pleats,' 'shirrs," "gores" and
folds and other technical mechanism
of female wearing apparel he learned
yesterday afternoon, when he tried the
case of Morris Forman against Miss
Clara S. Arend, whom he claimed owed
him $45 for a tailor-made suit. Miss
Arend said hat when she received the
suit, the skirt was perforated with
holes, and that a consequent remaking
of it left It badly fitting and she re-
fused to accept it.
Most of the testimony was technical
and Judge Macpherson and counsel.
John I. Van Cleef for Forman, and J..
Scott Scanned for Miss Arend, showed
a surprising knowledge of dressmaking.
Charles Borelli said the creation was
a fair 1908 model, with the exception Of
the folds. which appeared to have been
half-soled and heeled and otherwise
mutilated.
Mrs. Morris Forrnan stated that the
holes in the skirt were not of her hus-
bands making. and said tina Miss
Arend was very funny about her
clothes.
When the ease got to the second
fitting" stage, judge and counsel began
to show signs of t~repidation. The skirt
was passed from hand to hand and ex-
plantations made by women witnesses of
"inside seams full lengths" n other
boudoir terms. Counsel will sum up
today.

THAT ENDS IN DROP
u. S. Is Sold Freely at Advance,
Then Market Breaks and
Gives Way.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Opening
prices today advanced on active trad
ing, but the gains were generally re-
stricted to small fractions. Stocks in
which they exceeded thai figure were
American Smelling and New Haven,
which rose /; Northwestern IA, and
Northern Pacific, New York Central,
Norfolk and Western. Atlantic Coast
Line, Wabash preferred, Southern
Railway preferred and Colorado Fuel

IL a. m.-There was some ~irregularity
during the first hour, in which a large
volume of stocks changed hands within
opening gains afforded opportunities for
realizing, but the effect of these sales
was minimized by the persistent accu-
mutation of special stocks. Neverthe-
less a large part Of the list sold frac-
tionally below yesterdays closing in
the course of the hour. Prices were
inclined to yield at IL O'Clock.
Noon-The selling to take profits car
ried some stocks which have been
stronger recently a point or more below
last night. There were partial recov-
cries and fresh advances in specialties.

creased and a period of dulness ensued.
About the only movement of impor-
lance centered in the Wabash and Wis
consin Central stocks. Wabash pre-
ferred went up 3 points, Wisconsin

the market fell. Traders were very
chary of putting out short lines, and
the demand was also very scanty. Man

8 p. m.-The market closed weak and
active. Round amounts of L. S. Steel
changed hands up to 55A, and this
started prices upwards. The advance
brought out free selling, and prices
gave way with less resistance than at
any time previously.
