How stock Exchange May he sued.

New York, Aug 19.-The New
York Stock Exchange may be sued as
an unincorporated organization and
the members thereof may be named as
partners, but they may not be sued in
dividually, because of some act Of the
exchange. This was the ruling OF
Judge Hough, in the United States
Circuit Court today, in the case OF the
New York Bank Note Company, which
is suing the exchange, every individual
member thereof and the American Bank
Note Company. The New York Bank
Note Company alleges that it is barred
from engraving all stocks and bonds
dealt in on the exchange. In the mo-
ton Of the defendant to dismiss the
suit against the individual members Of
the exchange, Judge Hough holds that
any one who may have a cause for
action against an unincorporated in
stitution may sue all the members as
partners, but it was never intended that
they should be sued as individuals. He
therefore dismissed the complaint
against the individual members.

Yesterdays Session Of The
Constitutional Convention
-FOUR NEW PROPOSITIONS
A Week More in Which
This Sort of Thing Can
Be Carried On Indiscrim-
inately- Then Committee
Only Can Be Proposers.

The second week of the constitution
al convention ended with a session of
a little more than an hour and there
after the clerks and some of the men,
bers made a rush for the office of the
secretary for their weeks wage.

Four propositions were introduced,

follows: governor, lieutenant governor,
secretary of state, state treasurer, aud
itor, attorney general, superintendent
Of Instruction, chief justice and clerk
OF the supreme court and board of cor
poratiOn commissioners consisting of
three members.
The proposition will permit the
legislature to abolish the office of
clerk of the supreme court and lodge
his duties with the secretary of state
District judges are to be elected by
districts and county officers will be
chosen as they are now. 1t is proposed
TO make county recorders clerks of the
district court which in this county and
oil l,1r nj
with his hands fun. There is also a
long list of appointive officers, nine in
spectOrs, superintendent of charities,
etc. The legislature is empowered 10
provide for assistants for them.
There is a clause against nepOtism;
a first cousin of an officer is disquali-
fled for becoming his assistant.
Mr.. Webb introduced a proposition
providing for the creation of a railway
commission by the legislature which
shall determine whether the members
shall be appointed or elected. The
membership Of the board is limited to
five.
Mr.. Lynch of Graham introduced q
proposition providing for judiciary
system, providing for a supreme court
of three members and a superior court,
after the manner of the California

of schools. churches and certain other
institutions from taxation.
The resolution of Mr. Cunniff the
day before for the appointment of a
finance and expense committee was
favOrably acted upon which shall audit
and make reports each week regarding
the expenditures on account of the
convention.
The rest of the short session was
given to the second reading of propO-
sitiOns. All of the propositions pre-
sented yesterday relate to matters pre-
viously covered in one way or another
and some of these matters are now
covered seven deep. There is a week
more in which individual members
may obtrude their views on the con-
ventiOn, and after that everything will
have to originate in a committee.

man, John NJ. Taylor and Charles L.
Ewing, former Illinois Central Of

appeared before Judge Chetlain the
court admitted them to bail in bonds
of $4,000 each and set the argument
on the petition for their release for
next Saturday.

MONEY MOVEMENTS.
A Situation Which Is Attracting In
ternationaI Interest.

New York, Oct 22.-The uncertain
and irregular movement in the prices
of stocks today reflected a feeling of
hesitation in speculation which was
due mainly to doubts over the money
outlook. Another shipment of $5,375,-
600 gold to Egypt, which was with
drawn from the Bank of England for
that purpose, showed the formidable
proportions OF the requirements upon
that institution.
With private discount rates in Lon
don ruling above the Berlin private
rate, the likelihood of another ad-
vance in the official discount rate of
the Reichsbank from the present 5
per cent level was canvassed in inter-
national money markets. With the
Paris rate still ruling below per
cent, the movement of gold from Paris
to London seems a likely resource.

.FORhKER'S RE-ENTRY
into POLITICAL LIFE
HE OPENS WITH ATTACK ON
ROOSEVELT.
In the Course of a Speech In the
Ohio Campaign.

Marysville, O., Oct. 22.-Former
Senator Joseph B. Foraker signal
ized his return into politics by going
after Roosevelt and his new nation
alism rough shod. Mr.. Foraker
stood pat on the tariff and deplored
the activities of the insurgents. He
urged Senator Dicks reelection and
endorsed Harding for governor and
the entire republican state ticket.
He spoke kindly of Tafts adminis-
tration and declared that a republican
victory in Ohio would mean a great
deal for president
Referring to Roosevelt's new ma
tionalism, the former senator said
that in spirit at least it was as
reasonable as secession itself.
"One saving feature. however"
he continued, about it all is it is
such a preposterous absurdity. There
is such insufferable egotism as to
excite not only condemnation but
ridicule. 1t is another case of vault
ing ambition o'erleaping itself
The illusions that had become dan
gerous are now dispelled. People
now better understand the author,
and know better how to judge what
he proposes. It is not likely they
will longer regard him as an i'm
,provement on Washington and Lin
coln.''

OF CR|PPEN
Murderer Sentenced To Be
Hanged On Nov. Is
THERE IS A SLENDER HOPE
A Belief That the Jury Rec
commended a Life Sen
tence Crippen's Hope
Rests Only in Action by
the Home Secretary.
THERE IS A SLENDER HOPE

London, Oct. 22.-Dr Crippen, after
was found guilty of the murder of
his wife, an American woman, known
on the stage as Belle Elmore. Lord
Chief Justice Alverstone, who pre-
sided at the trial, sentenced Grip
pen TO be hanged November 10.
There is, however, the strongest
prejudice in England against execut-
ing a man on purely circumstantial
evidence and an incident at the close
of the trial caused an impression
that the jury may recommend a life
sentence.
After Crippen was sentenced the
foreman of the jury handed the
lord chief justice d note. After look
ing at the note the justice said:
That shall be forwarded TO the
proper quarter"
The proper quarter might meaen
the home secretary, who has juris-
diction and may recommend a com
mutation of the sentence TO the king
The jurors refused to discuss the
incident. Large crowds were aw
ing the departure Of Crippen from
the new Bailey. There were a few
''Boos" as he drove away to Penton-
Vile prison, but no other demonstla-
ton
The sensational trial was brought to
a close today when Richard Muir made
the closing speech for the prosecution
this morning. He declared that it
had been proven beyond a reasonab BILE
hot bA
lar of the Crippen home was that of
the doctors wife
In summing up the case, Lord JUST
tice Alverstone described Crippen as
an extraordinary man. If guilty, he
had covered up a ghastly crime in a
CHASTITY way and it was believed i'm
most brutal and callous manner. If
innocent, the judge said, it is impos-
sible to fathom his mind, as he is alb
Indifferent to the charge of
murder. He had taken no step what
ever to prove his innocence
Crippen, the justice declared, un-
doubtedly was liar and had lived
an immoral life. but the jury could
not convict on that score. He charged
the jury that they must be convinced
human parts found in the cellar were
those of Belle Elmore, and that her
death was caused by a wilful act of
the prisoner.
The jury then retired. and after
half an hours deliberation reported
that it had found DIR. Crippen guilty.
Before passing sentence, Lord Chief
Justice Alverstone asked the prisoner
if he had anything to say. In a low
voice Crippen replied: Il still protest
my innocence"
The chief justice then donned the
black cap that had rested near him
the trial and pronounced
the sentence of death.
1t was announced this evening that
DIR. Crippen will be hanged on Novem-
ber Is.
The trial of Miss Leneve as accessory
after the fact in the murder of Belle
EImore will begin Tuesday.
