FINED WHITE WOMAN.

Because of threats made by her negro
neghbofs Mrs. Norah Garrison, Is years
old, living in Washington, felt 1t ueces-
cary to protect herself, she says, and
carried a weapon while on her own
premises. Yesterday she was convicted
OF carrying concealed weapons aud Judge
Kimball sentenced the Young white
woman to psy fue OF $50 or 60 10
Jail for 80 days. The young woman,
through Attorney James ]. O'Shea, has
taken sn sppesl to higher court and
her friends sre rallyipg to her support in
the case. The black denizsns of the
neighborhood we're out in force at Police
Court yesterday morning, and they
testified that Mrs. Garrison armed her
self Monday afternoon and threatened to
shoot them. Their story was believed
by the Judge in preference to tie tessi-
mony of the white woman. Mrs. Gar
rison declared that the weapon was in
full view and she was supported in this
by two witnesses. Her counsel argued
that she had right to protect herself
when threatened, and especially 90 when
she was on her own premises

NEGRO HELD.

A letter addressed to MrB. CATHERINE
Berry, a white employe Of the assessors
office of the District of Columbia and
alleged to have been written by Garrett
Wormley, mulatto driver of the as
sessor's carriage, was yesterday made
the basis of an indictment against
Wormley charging him with sending i'm
proper matter through the mails. he
was held on the sum OF 81, 600.
In one portion of the letter the writer
makes plain his attitude toward white
people by writing.
"Mr. d., when he was head OF the
office, told me not to stand for any bull.
dczing; the majority of people in the
building we're no whittier than /, have
sense enough to understand"
The tone of the letter indicates that
the writer had previously caused Mrs.
Berry annoyance, and that she had
ignored the receipt Of previous missives.
In the letter, the diction of which can
not be quoted, Wormley invites the
white woman to meet him at Dupont
circle or Massachusetts avenue extended,
between the hours of 6 and 9 o'clock.
"Now If misconstrew, the siguer
finishes the letter, spelling badly,
"drop and make no reply to your ever
sincere, Revree."

KILLED IN PLAY.

George Tracy, the nine-year-old son o.
j. E. Tracy, of Medford, Long Island
died Monday night from Injuries re.
ceived from some of shis companions
while playing Indians.
Last Thursday they had fine game.
Mrs. Tracy, sitting indoors, heard the
boys war whoOping up and down the
street. Pretty soon three OF the big boys
caught George and dragged him to a
Tree In the back yard One of them
brought rope and the other two held
the little fellow while his hands and feet
we're made fast. They set him up against
the tree and wound the rope around him
from head to foot very tightly. George
did not seem to mind.
1t would be no sort OF an indian
game If the white man should escape OF
his own strength before the coming of
the soldiers. 60 they drew the rope all
the tighter. One of the turns lay Just
under Georges ribs, and as the bigger
boys bauled the line dug intO his left
side. That made him sguesl. Mrs.
Tracy, knowing the difference between a
war whoop and shout Of pain, ran ont
of the house. She found George tied up
so tightly that he couldn't bulge, with
the strand of rope that crossed his
stomach almost out of sight. She got
the boy free and took him indoors. As
stated above, mis- injuries proved fatal.

MARKET AFFECTED
 BY COMMODITY DECISION
PRICES SHOOT UPWARD WHEN EFF. PECT OF FINDING IS WE'LL
 UNDERSTOOD.
RAILROAD STOCKS STRONGEST
COPPER A SHADE HIGHER IN LON. DON AND WHEAT SENTIMENT
 RATHER BULLISH.

NEW YORK, May 3.--The violent fluctuations in Reading belied the as. sumption that the supreme court deci- sion in the commodities clause case would prove without stock market infiu- enee in either direction. The market slipped into condition of stagnation before the announcement of the doci- sion and became almost equally lethargic in the period of perplexity following the first report on the scope of the decision.
 Sentiment regarding the decision un- derwent violent mutations. This was plainly indicated in the downward plunge in Reading on the first bald an. nouncement that the provisions of the law were upheld, and in the violent up- shoot which followed the conviction took the shape that, while the terms of the law were upheld, the government s contentious regarding it's construction against the railroads were not allowed.
 The extreme range of Reading was from 143 5-S at the lowest to l5l l.2 at the highest, the latter figure repre- senting the highest price touched since the boom of stock in 1905, which cul. minated in a price of 164 in July, 1906.
 The general effect of the decision was also regarded as cheering and helpful for property and corporation interests. The natural expression of cheerfulness by those interests was to put up prices of stocks.
 The taking of another million dol lars in gold bars of the assay office for shipment to Paris, showed the force of depletion of bank reserves still in operation. The 3 per cent money rate of last Friday left an expectation of possibly tirmer money rates for a day or two.
 The outburst of speculative excite. ment' following the commodities clause decision swept away all other considera- tions and the market was strong to the last.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, $6,7OO,O00 United States bonds un- changed.

ADJUSTMENTS
MAJESTIC.

With clever dramatic sketch and an amusing comedy on the bill, the Ma. .iestic players produced thoroughly enjoyable bill at last night s perform ance.
 The sketch "A California Romance, is produced by Al Flournoy, Norman Phillips, Glodys Kelsey and Pearl Steen. The plot hinges on the mistaken idea of a miner that one of his friends has at tempted to ruin his sister. It is d'f- ferent from anything so far attempted and is very good. Flournoy and Phil lips are excellent and the natural acting of Miss Kelsey wins friends for her. Miss Steen, new member of the com pany, does well in small part.
 "The Persian Princess is the title of the comedy. It has to do with one Joseph Brown, with a mania for col lecting statuary. One of his statues, that of Persian princess, comes to life and as the collector has an aunt with fixed ideas averse to art, the coIa. plications which arise are laughable, to say the least.
 James P. Lee is the collector and his work calls plenty of laughs. Norman Phillips as Harry Montelair, his friend, is good, and Al Flournoy gets plenty of loughs in his part of Pat, servant. W. T. Tupper does well in small part.
 Miss Barbier is the princess. Her costume is more nearly directoire than princess, but it doesn't interfer with her acting, which was wholly satisfac- tory last night. Miss Kelsey does well as Clara Brown, wife of the art col lector, as does Miss Steen, as Abigail, her aunt. Miss Thornton has the part of Chloe, colored servant. It is a small part, but she manages to put plenty of comedy into it.
 Little Miss Madeline Lee sings "As the Daisies Miss the Sunshine, I Miss You" very we'll for a youngster. The pictures are good, including "The Landlady's Portrait" and "The Jan itor's Bottle. :"
