tBy the Associated Press.I

! NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The profess
sional view Of the weakness which
developed In the stock market today
, was that It was largely due to the
sympathetic effect OF the collapse In
Consolidated Gas which proceeded to-
day only less violently than yastsr.
day. The period OF greatest weak
ness in Consolidated Gas today how
ever. was while the general list was
making a sturdy stand against the
reaction and was showing q degree OF
positive strength in some quarters.
The action Of the market warranted
the implication that the support was
in the interest OF facilitating q pro-
cess OF liquidation and the pursuit
Ct this purpose had the later erect
Of weakening the whole list.
The consensus Of opinion has been
strong that the period Of renewed
ease in the money market after the
turn OF the year would facilitate
revival Of speculative activity and
continue to still higher prices for
stocks. The money market Is rapidly
and sensibly growing easier and 9TH
er expected favorable developments
are not lacking. but so many 3pecula-
tive holdings Of stocks apparently
have been waiting for this opportuni-
ty to realize profits that the selling
outweighs the demand
The uneaSiness over the success OF
government aggression upon corpora
tions was shown by the manner II
which various incidents bearing on
the subject were dwelt upon.
The adoption by the United States
Senate OF a resolution calling for in
formation Of an alleged opinion by
the attorney general sancttoning the
purchase Of the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Company by the United States
Steel Corporation was one Of the cir
cumstances thus dwelt on.

Practical Man or Technical?

MIR. Cleveland's career and the
late memorial Of his life and
work revives the query whether
colleges produce such men as he
was. We are reminded that
Washington, Lincoln and a long
list of others in the field of states
manship. Westinghouse, Edison
and another long list of others in
the field of science and the me-
chanic arts. and many others
over a wide range, were not
college graduates.
The truth is that we need both
the college man and the practi-
cal man. Much as Westinghouse
has himself done in the electri-
cal field the college men have
blazed out the scientific path for
him and have done much If not
most Of the actual work. Wes-
tinghouse has been a great or
ganizer, possessing a mind won.
derfully alert to valuable sug.
gestions from the student ele.
ment in his forces of technical
and practical workers. Without
this student or technical element
he could never have made great
success in new fields. IL he hac
ventured alone, he would have
had to move in the dark or al
best a dim twilight. It was thu
college graduate who guided hi!
footsteps in a clear light.
And the technical man is de
pendent upon the practical wor
kers is dependent upon him. II
; either case the one who lead
has an endowment which neithe
experience nor technical know
! ledge seems greatly to contro
or influence. Nature has a han,
in leadership that seems to def!
all human artifcialities w5atso
ever. Charlotte Observer.

GOTTEN IS GIVEN 80 YEARS.
For The Hurder OF Or. c. v. Smith Of
Richmond,

After being out all of Saturday
night the jury in the trial of
three men for the murder Of DR..
E. w. Smith. of Richmond, Va,
this morning brought in a verdict
of murder in the second degree
against Earl Gotten, Tim Holder
field and E. A. Hopkins. other
wise known as Red" Hopkins.
young white men. With regard
to Hopkins the jury recommend
ed mercy.
Judge Lyon. Of the Superior
court, sentenced Gotten at 80
years in the penitentiary, the
full limit. holding him as the
leading spirit in the murder.
Holderfeld because he was in the
employ of Gotten at his cafe,
and because of testimony that
he was of good character, was
sentenced to only 10 years in the
penitentiary. RED" Hopkins
was sentenced to 2 years.
Gotten and Holderfield moved
for a new trial, and then for
modification of sentence. Both
were refused and they appealed.
Both men as they were taken
back to Jail from the court room
after being sentenced remarked
that that they had expected ac-
quittal. Public opinion seems
to be that the sentences are by
no means excessive.
On the morning of November
Is, 1898, the body of DR.. Smith
was found at the edge of a rock
quarry in the eastern suburbs of
Raleigh. An investigation de-
veloped the fact that on the
night of November IA, he had
been seen apparently drunk in
Cotten's cafe. Evidence pro-
duced by the State showed that
DR.. Smith had been drugged to
death with chloroform for the
purpose of obtaining his watch,
ring and diamond pin, later
traced to Gotten; that Hopkins
furnished the chloroform, that
Gotten administered an overdose
which caused the victims death,
and that Holderffeld took the
body in a hack to the rock quarry.
The states witnesses were Ed
Chavis, a negro hack driver, and
Richard Williams, a negro cook
in the employ of Gotten. Hop
kins was a stranger who landed
here some time ago. Holderfelc
was a cotton mill employee ano
