DREAM is ADMITTED
AS COURT EVIDENCE
Girls Vision Results in Finding Body
of Fiance and Cousins Are
Held for the Crime

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-"I cannot come
to you, for l lie under sand and
gravel" So said the ghost of Nicode-
mus Malcharczyk to his fiancee when
the girl had been wondering at his de-
sertion. He was just of age to inherit
the property left by his father and
managed by his stepfather his uncle
and a cousin since his mother died
That something was suspicious in the
case was obvious to the police of Paw
lau, in South Germany, and they had
caused inquiries to be made for the
missing Malcharczyk without result
Meanwhile Louis PrzybiIla, the step
father, continued to curiously manage
the property, selling off the stock, cut
ting down the timber and generally
converting things, it is said, to his
own profit.
Suddenly the girl appeared one morn
ing at the local police station and an
nounced that the ghost of her lost lover
had appeared to her in the night and
told her he lay under sand and gravel.
The police, despite their Prussian ma
terialism, thought there might be some
thing in it, because instances of second
sight are by no means uncommon in
Polish and other Slavonic families.
So they started thorough search Of
all the sand and gravel pits in the
neighborhood, and at last the steel
probes used for testing the pits struck
something soft. Digging was COM
menced, and there was turned up a
sack, and in the sack was found ere
torso of Malcharczyk. A few minutes
later another sack was found contain
ing the head and arms.
BY coincidence Louis Przybilla and
his son by a former marriage happeaei
to drive by just as the examination os
the pit was concluded. Instantly the
driver whipped up the horses and dcove
headlong down the rough lane. A po-
liceman on watch to keep off curious
persons noticed the flight and sent q
messenger to the village, where the
two Przybillas were arrested that same
night. Such was the extraordinary
story told in the prosaic criminal court
of Ratibor, where the supposed muir
.derers are now standing their trial. It
is said to be the first time that dream
has been admitted as evidence in a
modern German court Of law

FALL OF STOCK
PRICES CHECKED
FURTHER LIQUIDATION AIDS
NEW YORK 'CHANGE
SPECULAToRS FAIL TO RENEW
AGGRESSIVE TACTICS
Extensive Transfer of Holdings Pre-
pared Brokers for the Decline.
Money Markets Bulge.
Foreigners Strong
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-There was
further intermittent liquidation OF
stocks today and some large blocks
were thrown on the market. The mar
ket was not without evidence of sup
port and rallied with good show OF
resistance to the pressure. The sup
porters of the market seemed satls-
fled to have checked the fall in prices
and were not in aggressive mood TO
push an advantage against the short
interest.
The formal announcement of the
action taken by the board of COVER
nors of the exchange in suspending
the members of prominent firm FOR
operations in connection with the
Rock Island furry on December 27
was accepted as closing that incident,
and a sense of relief was experienced.
The outcome of this case and
changes announced today in the Of
fees of the Rock Island company were
held to offer explanation of some of
the recent liquidations of stocks.
The assumption seemed warranted
that extensive transfer of stockhold-
ings had been under way in prepara-
tion for the changes. A notable fea-
ture of the days financial develop
ments was the general bulge in money
markets. The influence of this on the
speculative demand for stocks proved
moderate today, but the resources
thus accrued for coming new capital
issues make a reassuring factor in the
situation.
The foreign exchange market
showed strength again today, which
was not fully maintained. The asser-
tion of support for prices gained in
fiuence with the progress of the day
and there was less hesitation in the
upward movement toward the last.
Final prices were generally higher
than last night.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $3,350000. United States

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Foreign buying
steadied first prices, although the distant OPP
tions showed greater overnight losses than the
near options During the middle Of the day the
market became irregular, with a downward
tendency, and upon the uncovering of stop Or
ders the rregularity gave way to actual weak
ness. This particularly in the afternoon,
when what might be termed distressed SELL
ing made it's appearance, caused by margin
calls, and gave a very unsatisfactory look to
the entire market The closing was within a
few points of the lowest. In well informed
quarters it is believed that the liquidation is
not finished and that on any further decline
great deal of cotton will come on the market.

Refuse to Indict Bosses.

For the first time in the history OF the
courts OF New York county, grand jury
has refused to obey the instructions OF a
Judge, who had directed them TO return
u criminal Indictment
The grand jury was the one which was
heid over on the request of District AT.
torney Whitman TO investigate the charc.
es OF conspiracy made by the Enterprise
Steanlttters Association, a labor organi.
zation, against the Building Trades En-
ployers Association. The steamfitters
complained that the employers had enter
ed INTO an agreement by which the work.
men were prevented from obtaining EN-.
ployment.
The grand jury, which is composed of
many wealthy and prominent busines and
professional men, today came into court
and asked TO rits discharge, making no
mention of the investigation
Judge Rosalsky refused to let them 90
and directed that the members return TO
the consideration of the ease.

and Operators OF the Pittsaurg vein No. &

the next two years in accordance with
the agreement reached last week at the

President Lewis announced that scales

would be signed within Il few DAYS for
the Jackson, Massillon and Crooksville
districts.
The Hooking and Pittsburg vein dis
tricts comprise more than, two-thirds of
the coal mined in Ohio. 1t is expected
that the mines in the Pittsburg vein uls-
trict have resumed operations In the
