JUSTICE IN HAITI.
Why Q Trader Was Consigned to Jail
BY q MAGISTRATE.

~ . W@8sotE8eSs
In most lands that maintain a court
OF justice the institution commands
the respect Of the public. 1t has In
its hands the means Of securing an
outward show of respect under any
circumstances. In Haiti this power
appears to be made source of rev.
enue. according to story told by II.
Prichard In "Where Black Rules
White"
A Haitian owed a trader $2S. A
judgment requiring the Haitian to pay
81 week into court was given, and
the trader agreed to send q messenger
to the magistrate every week for the
money.
In due time he sent for the first In
stallment and was informed that the
Haitian had not paid mp. but that he
should be put In prison for his failure.
Three weeks passed with the same
result. One morning the Haitian went
to the traders store. What good, he
asked. would come to the trader If he,
poor man. were thrown into prison?
Let the trader forgive him his debt
and earn thereby untold rewards Ia
future state.
After some talk the trader gave him
a letter Of remission. which he went
of to present to the magistrate. The
affair was settled. but the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him.
He forthwith returned to the trader
and asked him n he had received tho
So already paid into court. The trader
looked surprised and said that he had
received nothing
'Then. since you have RENTED the
debt. that So Is mine." said the Hal
tian.
Accordingly he went to the court to
present his claim. The magistrate ut
once committed him TO prison A con
sui who had heard the story asked the
magistrate what the man was sent To
prison for
For contempt OF court" was the
reply.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
STOCK TONE STRONGER
Yet Speculation is Constrained Within Temperate Bounds-Time Money Market Easy.

New York. Nov. 1S.-The strong tone Of stocks today was not accompanied by animation in the speculation. Some of the days incidents were caluculated to give a tonic influence to values. but the international money position is of sufficient effect yet to constrain the speculation within temeprate bounds. The most striking incident of the days news was the announcement of the melon cutting by the Wells Fargo Express company. The details of the distribution give a peculiar force to Wall streets expressive vernacular term for such an operation. The max imum dividend distribution on this stock up to the present time has been ten per cent. yearly, the advance to that rate representing a concession to demands from clamor of the minor ity of the stockholders calling for a share in the accommodating surplus of the company; demands which were de-, terminedly opposed by the controlling influence of the late E. H. Hartman. The high record price for the stock be- fore the present year was 325. Today's announcement induced sales at 560. The distribution amounts to three times the par value of the outstanding stock in cash calling for SPA, GOO, ,000, while the capital is increased threefold at the same time, and the increase of lerSu to present StOcknOlQerS at par. In addition to the express company stocks. various other high grade ir- vestment stocks rose buoyantly, espe- cially those for winch the possession of concealed assets is claimed. The anthracite carriers come within this range, and the speculation in Reading was stimula ted by the wide movements in the less active members of that group. The coppers were revived to some extent, and there were reports of some recent large sales of the metal, which were put forward, however, with out official authority attached. The issuance of the call for reports of con- dition df national banks at the close of business November 16 has been ,ex- pected to relieve the banks from some constraint in granting accommodations which they have been under while awaiting this call. The building up of the Bank of England reserve to 54.40 per cent. of liabilities gives strong impression of the effectiveness of the recuperation of that institution. There was another engagement of gold made in New York for shipment to South America, raising the total outgo for the present banking week on that &C., count to $4,400,000 The easier tone of the money market was maintained and call loan rates did not get above per cent. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, s3,232000. United States bonds were unchanged on call

line. Bulkeley has no one to class with H5lfback Moves, whose side partner. Lavler, gives the Red and White the advantage over Captain Shea and Beebe, the two Bulkeley f~llbacks- In the form that Fullback Mcs.ormick has displayed in the last two games he should make an even race with Glynn Of Bulkeley.
 Taking the men in the line, with t5eir opposites, Captain Gallivan at left end will have it on anything that Bulkeley offers, whether it is Costello or Arnold. At the other end, superior weight may give Bulkeley an advan- tage over Gebrath of Norwich. Swan, Academy left tackle should make it an even thing against Noble of Bulke- ley, and Walsh. the Academy right guard, will outplay Casey or St. Ger main.
 Tn the center of the line busy man Steve Ricketts should put it all over Ford of Bulkeley and count for lot in the Academy game. Isbister, Acad- emy right guard, may find O'Neill more than he can handles but Lawson will give Viets a first class argument at tackle, although the lattersis consider ed one of Bulkeley's strong men.

LITTLE HOPE FOR VALE.
Jim Hogan Very Pessimistic-coy, Philbin. and Murphy the Greatest Ever, but Oh That Weak Line!

Jim Hogan, a former Yale tackle, who stands without peer in his posi- ton, sees little encouraging for Yale on the showing it made against Prince ton last Saturday. Summing up, Ho- gan draws this gloomy picture:
 "The crisis of Yalesf season did not come today. It will come next Satur- day and as usual Yale prepares to meet the crisis of the season. She will therefore be better next Saturday than she was today. And, yet, to the ques- tion as to how she compares with Harvard and as to our chances of yic- tory when the real test does come, the Yale coaches are far from confident. The weakness of Howe his lack of generalship, his lack of head in taking the ball himself on direct pass from center through the center of his own line, sustaining thereby a penalty of 1s yards. and because of such penalty stopping the onward progress of his team, should put him out of the run ming for the position. And yet the coaches are perplexed for they are forced to the conclusion that, weak as he Is, he is still the best that offers.
 Serious as is this handicap because Of Howe's weakness, 1t is yet not the greatest handicap under which the Yale team will be. There will confront her line of forwards stronger and faster than her own. Against Such a line unless improvement is shown in the play of the Yale men over that shown today, no sustained onward progress in offensive play will be pos- sible. Yale has three wonderful men in her backfield. It is perhaps not too much to say, that no such three backs as Coy. Philbin and Murphy have ever been in a Yale backfield before But in spite of all their prowess, or of all they can do for their team, as the Harvard and Yale teams compare to- day, because of the great advantage accruing to Harvard in her linemen; in other words, in the speed and strength of the line between Fish on one side and Mckay on the other, the indications are that Harvard should win over the blue eleven. There can, certainly, be no doubt but that, to win against Harvard. Yale will have to play much better in every respect than she did in today's first half.''
