Many Traders imbusd with idss That

prere Court Decisions In New York
Central Case Spreads Scare.
By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Susp1cion
| and distrust Of the speculative posi-
ton in the stock market spread with
rapid growth today and brought the
fabric of values down with a era sh.
The conviction began forming after
throwing open of the steel market
to competition last week. that the
stock market position was an artifi.
clal one and had been brought about
by false assumptions OF the trade
positions. Various factors combined
to accentuate the weakness today and
1t gained cumulative force.
London sent very heavy selling or
ders to the New York market for ex-
ecution as soon as trading began and
this helped the downward rush Of
prices which began after the open
ing. A new set of weakening fac
tors came in the differences drawn
from the reconvening of the supreme
court at Washington.
Decisions were handed down
against the New York Central for
rebatirg. and the speculative element
for reasons which a lawyer might not
follow jumped to the conclusion that
a later decision would uphold the
commodities clause of the Hepburn
law. and so constrain the anthracite
railroads. to get rid of their mining
properties.
Another weak group Of stocks was
found in the minor railroads that have
been exploited for rapid advances on
assumptions of mergers or BENEFITS
to accrue from their purchase by lar
ger systems.
OF the steel trade position. the
speculative contingent was disposed
to take the gloomiest view.
There was only slight check when
the room shorts took the days prof
its. but the last break Of the day
was the most demoralized seen
throughout, and closed prices at the
lowest.
Reading sold as low as 11S. United
States Steel sold down to Al 1-2 ana
closed at the lowest, loss in price
since Saturday of 1-2 points. Prices
at end of the day were off from three
to over six points for all the active
stocks.

to draft demurrage law. This law
will be passed upon by the association
and then recommended to the legisla-
ture of every state in the union.
Representing Iowa coal and lumber
dealers, Mr.. Eaton insisted that three
full days should be allowed for un--
loading cars filled with lumber and
coal He declared that forty-eight
hours free time was granted by the
railroads in the days of fifteen ton
cars, and that with the 100000 pound
cars now in use seventy-two hours is
no more than is actually needed. MI.
Eaton believes that he will carry his
point and that the law as finally com
pleted will provide seventy-two hours
free time for handling these commod-
tiles. (,
In Washington Mr. Eaton lunched
with Senator Cummins He says the
feeling at the national capital is that
President Taft will eventually succeed
in securing a real tariff revision, with
material reductions in the tariff on
commodities for which reduction is
most needed from the standpoint OF
the consumer.

calls McNamara on ImbeoiIe.

Northwood, April 1.-THE afternoon
session In the Mcnamara case was
taken up with the testimony Of three
important witnesses. The testimony
of DR.. McGlene of Mason CITY
strengthened the previous testimony
of Drs. Young, Hewitt, Keane and
Hill. The strong point made by him
was that he considered Mcnamara an
imbecile and governed by an uncon-
trollable impulse at the time of shoot
ing his father. DR.. McGlone was the
family physician for several years and
knew well the family history and what a,
the family generally thought Of the
slayer's condition. He was called for
the purpose of testifying to the dying
declaration of the father and mother
regarding the defendant.
Four times has the defense offered
to relate these important statements
and four times has the court denied
this privilege. After this was refused
he testified, which closed the testimony
for the defense, that in his opinion the
defendant was insane. The state
brought on its first witness for rebuff
tai, Henry Paulson relating his con-
yersation with Mcnamara.

Des Moines, April II. - DR.. A u:
Melvin. chief Of the bureau OF animal
Industry of the United States, VINO
has been through the state OF Iowa
during the past year, studying the
subject of tuberculosis among cattle,
has lust published pamphlet, IN
which he advances the opinion that,
according to the tests he has made,
az per cent of the mich cows OF the
state and per cent of the stock cat
tie are affected with tuberculosis TO
such an extent that they would react
to the tuberculin tests. He also be.
lieyes that 2 per cent Of the hogs OF
the state are affected with the dis
ease, these hogs being largely on the
farms with the diseased cattle.
DR.. Melvin figures that the value
of diseased cattle and hogs in the state
would amount to S6,656,170 and that
large per cent of this loss would oc
cur for a number of years while the
disease was being stamped out, bu'
! that the final determination of the dis

IOWA LAW is ATTACKED.
Declare Board of Parole Is Given Too
Much Power In Appeal to the
Supreme Court.

S0Hi VIiS SS3's.
Des Moines, April IL Iowa's
indeterminate sentence law is attack
ed as unconstitutional in the argu-
ment of attorneys for Nelson DUH,
who has taken an appeal to the SUI
preme court from the sentence of the
district court at DEBORAH, where he
was convicted of helping a prisoner es-
cape from the Winneshiek county jail
and was given the maximum of zen
years in prison.
In deciding the Duff case the SUI
preme court will be called upon to set
tie for the first time the question OF
whether or not the indeterminate SEN
tence is constitutional. That it is not,
is the belief of four Iowa judges who
have refused to regard it in sentenc,
ing convicted prisoners.
e. R. Acres and M. j. Carter Of De-
corah are Duff's attorneys. The attor'
ney geenral's Office Is now preparing
an argument answering the attack on
the indeterminate sentence. The case
will be submitted at the May term OF
the supreme court.
Members of the board of control
the board Of parole, and others inter
ested in criminal law, are vitality IN
terested in the outcome of the Duff ap
peal. Board members are firm believ
ers in the indeterminate sentence ant
if the court rules against it will b
greatly disappointed.
The law is attacked on the grount
that it gives the board of parole pow
er to determine the length of sen
tence.

M PLEASANT Nav Pave.

Mt. Pleasant, April 17.-At recent
meeting Of the city council 1t was de-
ctded to investigate with a view to
paving the main streets of the city
this summer. 1t is thought by some
that by using a covering of macadam
and a heavy coat of tar the present
roadbed will need little material
change The main streets of the city
have for years had a driveway of rock
which has become rough and very UNI
satisfactory, but if this can be used II
will do away with a great expense that
would be incurred if it We're removed.
