IA CHEERFUL SENTIMENT
 IN HE SHOCK MARKET
A Variety Of Causes Conspired to Give
 Strength to Prices.

New York. Jan. 2S.-The strength shown by stocks today was considered due to much the same causes as yes terday. Fostering measures by the large banking and capital interests against undue effect from unfavorable incidents and the needs of the un- covered short interest are regarded as the prime factors of the advance. The cheerful effect produced by various reports from scattered sources of the resumption of operations by facOrties which have been closed down. although this was modified by contrasting re- ports of continued reductions shop forces by some large railroad systems. Reports of an advance in the price of copper by the selling agent of the principal producers. was an element in the strength shown by the metal stocks, including Amalgamated Cop per and American Smelling. Money continued to lend at almost nominal figures on call time loans. The mar ket was still soft and yielding with little demand.

The Prosecution Offered No Scientific Tes-
 timOny In RebuttaI
The District Attorney Relies Upon Laymens Testimony as to Defendants Actions After the Killing, and the Good Judgment of the Jurymen.

New York, Jan. 2S.-With no attempt on the part of the state to combat with scientific testimony the claim of insan- ity urged in behalf of Thaw. the talk ing of evidence In the second hearing of the murder trial ended today To- morrow LittletOn will begin his plea for the defense and expects to occupy both the morning and afternoon. Je- rome will speak on Thursday. He has promised to be brief. If his address should not extend beyond the morning session, Justice Bowling will hand the case over to the jury on Thursday af- ternoon. The court announced how ever that it would probably not deliver the charge until Friday morning.
 Contrary to his policy last year, when he called nine experts on insan- ity to the witness chaid, Jerome utter ly ignored the scientific phase in the rebuttal case. He produced several eye witnesses of the tragedy and sev- eral police officers who handled Thaw the night of the homicide and placed them on record as saying that the de- fendant's acts were rational In the morning the testimony given by Abra-  ham Hummel ar the last trial was read to the jury and Thaw's will was ad- mitted ir evidence. An affidavit alleg- ed to have been made by Evelyn Nes- bit in Hummels office charging Thaw with cruelty and attempting falsely to place the blame for the Nesbit girls downfall upon White was also admit ted.
 Jerome's elimination of expert testi- mOny in the rebuttal case has Occa- stoned much talk. Based upon his as sertiOns last year that Thaw was an incurable paranOiac, rumOr had it that the prosecutor might not be displeased with a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity, with the ensuing commitment Nof Thaw to the asylum for the criminal insane at Mattewan. Throughout the trial. however, Jerome has attempted to belittle and discredit all testimony having anything to do with Thaw's irrationality. He has at tempted Co show that the youthful Outbursts of the defendant were fits of

oi the capitol, as a witness for the Commonwealth at the trial of the cap itOl prosecutions today tends to con- firm the rumor that Hueston has an understanding with the state and will be one of its witnesses. Lewis was called to identify the specifications prepared by Hueston for the furnish- ings of the capitol and also to explain the quantities, plans" upon which or ders were given at various times for furnishings. Lewis was on the stand when court adjourned.
 Lewis is under indictment on two charges of conspiracy. TOday's ses- sion of the court was devoted by the Commonwealth to laying the founda- tiOn of the case. James Scarlett in his opening address to the jury said that the state expected to prove that four defendants conspired to defraud the state in the payment of bills for fur nishings. John F.. Stott, former secre- tary of the board of public grounds and buildings who was on the stand an hour seemed reluctant to identify certain specifications prepared by Hueston and could not recognize hay ing seen them before.

The substitute will be voted down in the committee but will later be presented on the floor of the senate.

GERMAN SALOON KEEPER
 INDICTED FOR BRIBERY
He Forgot That the Ancient Regime
 in San Francisco Had Passed Away.


 San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-Carl E. Rit- ter a German saloon keeper and gro- cer, was indicted by the grand jury to- day on the charge of giving a bribe to A. D. Cutler, president of the board of police commissioners. Ritter went on the stand today and admitted that he had given Cutler $500 for the purpose of securing a favorable vote on his application for a renewal of hls saloon license in the Presidio district. Rit- ter has been in custody since Saturday and now is in a cell in the city prison, being unable to raise a bond.
 The bribery took place over week ago. Cutler was visited by Ritter in his office and at the first meeting Rit- ter merely left his note reading that Cutler might easily secure a half in- terest in the saloon owned by him. The next day he returned. according to the testimony of Cutler and asked him how Ter did not understand the question and made an evasive reply. Ritter re- tired, but returned in a few minutes, and quietly slipped $500 in gold S1O pieces into Cutters hands. Cutler at once reported the matter to Langdon and Chief of Police Biggy. Ritter stated that he was told by a man. the son O. a saloon keeper. that their only chance to get the support of the commissioners was by seeing the right man.
