GENERAL FUNI

Because she went 10 church service
last Friday evening. Henry Cox brutal.y
beat and kicked his wife, according u
the testimony before Justice John n
Davis at Annapolis. Md. Cox was com
mitted to Jail in default of 81 900 bail
There is much feeling against him and
many advocate the whipping post. Mrs.
Cox, a small and frail woman, presented
a pitiable appearance when she appeared

In keeping with its dizziness the stock
market was narrow. The strongest fea-
lures were Atlantic Coast Line, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. Colorado Fuel. Southern
Louisville and Nashville and Southern
Railway preferred. At least until well
into the afternoon they were the most
aggressive issues.
Standard stocks, especially railroad
stocks. were manifestly firm, but the in
dustrial quarter was rather more lrreg-
ular and advances were on a more limited
scale than in the railroad list, although
Western Union had a good early gain.
Brooklyn Union Gas scored a sharp de-

by Consolidated Gas.
Call money was rather distinctly firm

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, February 24.-Early trad
ing in the wheat pit today was in the
vicinity Of final figures yesterday, with
a slight downward tendency which was
more effective in the nearby month
than in the more distant futures. Al
the opening prices were from Il C lower
to NC higher, May showing the weak
ness. In the first hour there was some
short selling which caused prices to
sag a little May selling from lib y
to 1.I3.
BUYERS transferred their allegiance to
the distant months, and July advanced to
.O5a1 .O5is. Prices generally rested, with
May easy and the other futures firm.
Opening figures for May were 1.l3A TO
/ 1871. Aa;4c lower to a shade higher. In
spite of bearish sentiment induced by the
steady accumulation Of stocks, corn prices
remained comparatively firm through the
first hour Opening figures were from Ac
lower to NC higher. There was little
selling pressure, and scattered buying IN

ing from 65hc to 65&c. Futures rested on

Taft Economies Approved.

All told. it was a market almost exclu-
sively governed by technical conditions
and professional considerations. Such
news as there was had little or no in
fuence, direct or indirect.
There was some talk in the Wall street
district during the day about the subject
Of stock exchange reform, in the light of
the further administration of discipline
in the Hooking Coal affair. Languid ap-
prevail was bestowed upon the govern
mental economy speech which Mr.. Taft
made in Newark yesterday.
Some comment was caused by the reduc-
ton of working hours in the Philadelphia
and Reading locomotive and car shops In
order to reduce expenses as an Offset to
decreasing traffic. but Wall street had
difficulty in relating this development to
a general situation which seems to be
rather more marked by railroad allot-
ments of rail orders and contracts for
equipment than by a tendency toward
cuFtailment.
So far as the stock market went, how
ever, 1t was not evident that any of the
news matters which engaged Wall streets
attention during the session was reflected
in the dealings

SHOULDN'T THERE BE A CHANGE?
"To establish Justice. -

''To establish JUSTICE
The constitution says that is of the reasons
for this government.
But are the courts and the lawyers today working
to that end?
Hasn't the procedure of the bench and bar become
bound around with red tape and legal TECHNICAL
ties that the essence of simon pure justice is lost in
many instances!
Friday federal judge ON the bench here declared
white SLAYER guilty of felony, and in the same
breath he instructed the jury in the box to bring in
a verdict acquitting the scoundrel of the charges
against him and making him free man.
Why?
Because a sharp little lawyer for purpose of per-
sonal qualification started in to defeat the ends of
justice by winning his case" and getting that man
freed, when he knew he guilty and should be
punished So he spent two days in legal hair split
ting until he got the court to agree to turn the fell
low loose.
Every lawyer is admitted to practice by the SUI
preme court of the state. He takes an oath when
admitted to assist the courts in establishing Justice
And then he starts out to defeat justice by all the
Vaccinations of red tape and legal bubble.
The same court that freed Philip Lavoe Friday
while admitting that he was a criminal and guilty Of
felony, the day before sent an innocent girl to an
Oregon mad house because another Judge some time
ago had decreed her insane and in face of the fact
that she has since improved probably to the point OF
recovery.
Was that establishing justice or pandering to red
tape?
