One was received this morning from d

was undoubtedly a better outfielder
than any Cooley had on his payroll at
present. And Furthermore he had a
relative who plays on a big league
team. Another was from a young III =
fielder who said his chief claim to fame
was the fact that he had once secured
two hits in one game off the best pitch
er in the Kansas State league. If these
kind of baseball players could deliver
the goods, Cooley would have a team IN
thirty minutes that could win five out
of seven from the Worlds Champions

WALL STREET TO-DAY.

New York, June 17-There was a display of moderate weakness in the stock market at the opening and in the early trading. The extreme de- cline was in the Copper stocks which showed losses of over a point while States Steel stocks were more prom inent than they have been for many days. There was some heaviness in a few of the railroad issues including Reading, Rock island and Wabash in the first few minutes but before the end of the the first fifteen minutes the market generally showed an improved tone with pronounced strength in New York Central which advanced nearly a point.
 Il a. m-There were few important orders in the market, nearly all the business representing the shifting of position by room traders coupled with some belated liquidation by commits sion houses. The trading element sold and supplied stocks freely from the start causing moderate declines. New York Central rose over a point early but lost part of this gain on some part of this gain on some realizing. The weakness of the copper shares attract ed most of the attention. At the end showed a heavy tone.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds firm.
 Noon.-There was no change in the market conditions during the last half of the forenoon. the tone continuing heavy with prices steadily moving downward and showing losses at mid through the list. The most pronounced weakness was in Metal shares which so far show the heaviest declines since the reaction started.

Harry Thaw Has Chance Now to
 Prove Himself Sane

White Plains, N. r.. June Hilary K- Thaw is to have an opportunity to prove himself sane. Supreme Count Justice Mills today set down the in sanity hearing following the applica- ton for a writ of habeas corpus for July 6. It Is possible that in the mean time the place of trial will be changed and the inquiry into the sanity of the slayer of Stanford White take place in New Yorkcity.
 When Thaw appeared before Justice Mills today to demand that he be giv- en an opportunity to prove himself sane, Deputy State Attorney General Roger Clark moved for a change of venue. asking that the trial be sent to New York County. Judge Mills re- marked that he had already denied a similar motion in former proceedings and suggested that as the writ relat- ing to Thaw from the asylum to ap- pear in court, had been granted by the
 Supreme Court Justice Gaynor of the Appellate Division, he would be the
 proper judge to pass on the motion for a change of venue. The applica- tion will therefore be brought before Judge Gaynor.
 Should Judge Gaynor send the case back to White Plains, Thaw probably will be given a speedy trial and it will be determined whether or not he is sane and should be freed from Mattea-
 wan. Pending a decision on the mat ter of venue, Thaw will go back tC
 Matteawan.
