SHIELDS IMAM HIGHERUP'
YOUNG NOTE BROKER FAILED TO
SHOW CONSPIRACY.
Attorney Jerome Accuses Persch Of
Being Manipulation OF "simple
Vulgar steal.

New York. Aug. 1S.-Donald L.
Persch, the young note broker. who
has been indicted for grand larceny
for the sale of mining stock belong
ing TO f. Augustus Heinze, went back
to the Tombs, accused by District At
torney Jerome Of being the manipu-
lator Of simple vulgar steal"
Although urged to reveal the man
higher up" and the intricate ramifica-
tions in high finance which Persch
suggested from time to time as he in
timated that he had been made a cats
paw, he failed utterly to say anything
to convince Mr. Jerome that there
was any conspiracy.
Persch was arraigned before Judge
Mulqueen in the Court Of General
Sessions, charged with the larceny Of
100000 worth of stock, which he is
alleged to have procured from the
Windsor Trust Company, where it was
placed in good faith by NJ. NJ. Joyce,
acting for Mr. Heinze, as collateral
for a $4,000 loan.
The young mans attorney insisted
that Persch had been victimized by
wiser and bigger men, but his client
refused to make any statement which
would bear this out.
The court refused to reduce bail
from $4,000, and the prisoner entered
no plea, the case going over to Mon
day.

The happiest result of the election, according to statements of Montgom- cry merchants. obtained after a care- full canvas of the city. is the marked and heavy increase In all lines of trade due to the return of Alabamians to their accustomed interest in every day affairs of life and trade.
 The business depression attending the late heated campaign on the amend ment question was the worst ever known in the history. of Alabama due to political agitation alone. 1t Is said |. For many days preceding the election all lines of trade were practically at a standstill. The country people either came to town not at all or when they did come. their attention was drawn to other things than purchasing groceries clothing and farm supplies.
 Even the Christmas trade ordinarily so brisk at this season of the year failed to show It's accustomed life, and Judging from a symposium of opinions of merchants in general. most people seemed to have forgotten all else but the questions relevant to the election and the political matters hinged upon IL.
 Now, however, all this Is changed. the farmer is coming into town with his cotton and his money, bent on puy- ing his family those things necessary to the proper appreciation of life. and if the character of goods being bought of Montgomery merchants Is any crite- rion, the farmer Is prosperous and aims that this year shall be a banner year for the enjoyment of the holidays.
 The politician may have cheated the farmers wife and his daughter out of many days enjoyment of these pleas ures of fine raiment, but the merchants of Montgomery are selling enough now to make up the shortcomings of the spouse or father during the evil days

 The retailers of the smaller towns buying from Montgomery jobbers are also feeling the bouyancy of the times and the orders coming into the Mont gomery jobbing houses indicate a good business being done by the retailer. all over the trade section tributary to this city.
 Of course the greatest increase in trade Is being enjoyed by those houses catering largely to the holiday trade, but 1t is by no means confined to these since the hardware man, the grocery man, the dry goods man, the feed man, the househo old supply man. the furni- ture man, the plano and organ man, clothing man, the shoe man. the lumber man. and all the trade clan.eif they are to be believed, ace doing the best busi- ness of the past gear. not excepting brief periods of business bouyancy such as naturally accompany fair week.
 The high grade of goods bought by the shopper Is q feature of the im- provement of trade. The merchants of the city, without exception, say that they are selling higher grade of goods in every line than in many seasons be- fore this.

The record for October being nearly twice that for September. while Novembers record Is equal to that of September and October together. and December will far exceed that of either of the three previous months and bids fair to exceed the total of them since the first few days of December show permits issued for a greater sum than for the whole of November.

WOMAN AND AFFIDAVIT.
Argument On Law Point in Pierc'
 Trial.

Argument On Law Point in Pierce
 Trial.
 Austin, Texas. Dec. 2--The question of woman and her legal status is in- voiving the entire time and attention of both the court and lawyers here today in the trial of H. Clay Pierce for false swearing.
 The question involved Is whether or not woman acting as a notary has the right to administer an oath. A young lady clerk in the secretary of states office administered the oath to Henry Clay Pierce when he swore that his company, the waters-Pierce Oil Company. was not in any way con nected with the Standard oil Com pany.
 The contention now made by the defense Is that this notary, being woman, has no legal status under the law of Texas which recognizes neither woman's suffrage nor woman's legal standing and consequentlyePierce has committed no crime in having her recognize anything he said.
 The entire morning session was consumed by Judge Robertson for the defense, in a lengthy argument to prove this contention to be correct. Arguments on this subject occupied the rest of the days session.
