NEW YORK, April 11.-Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham's brag. uttered in Chi
cago Saturday night with refs renee to
his convictions about illegal practices
under the Sherman law and in regard
to his program of corporation prosecu-
tions. contrasted rather curiously with
the intelligence which flashed over the
wires from Washington during the noon
hour today, that the Supreme Court OF
the United States decided to hear re-
argument in the American Tobacco and
Standard Oil cases.
The first construction placed upon this
information was expressed in rapid, all
around and perpendicular rise In stock
market prices. Gains of three points or
more were scored by such stocks as

The course of the stocks just named was
particularly interesting because the maxi

mediums of recent bearish operations,
for there was no doubt that scramble
to cover short commitments on the part
OF timid operators COR the fall was chiefly

WOMEN RAID SALOON
Securing Strong Evidence of Sale Of

Salmon. Nov. Give ladies Of
Salmon. leaders in church and so

loon and, il is alleged, secured evil

ors. The ladies marked a bottle and
gave it to T. E. Lincoln, who went
into the saloon with another young
man. There they bought IS cents
was placed in the marked bottle. This
bottle Lincoln handed over to the
delegation of ladies who were wait
ing outside the saloon. The ladies
pulled the cork and. to the best of
their knowledge and belief, pro-
nounced the contents to be alleged
whiskey.
In a body they then marched into
the saloon. where they found two
business men standing before the bar
socially indulging in alleged soft
drinks. The spokeswoman of the

the glasses on the bar and threw
them into tub of water. The ladies
declared that the fragrance arising
from the liquids did not resemble
that associated with any soft drink
with which they are acquainted.
Formal complaint was lodged with
the county attorney and the case
will be heard before Judge McCraclk-

The criminal court of appeals
heard his appeal from the convic-
ton Of the lower court and decid ID
against him on all points. The cou Z
refused to grant a new trial and COR
nrined the order of execution, which
will be carried out on Tuesday.
The hearing drew another great
crowd to the New Bailey court tod v.
justices Darling. Channel and Pick
+ rG heard the appeal.
Ciippen was brought to the cou t
house. but kept in a cell pending q
decision on an appeal against Justice
Ridley's ruling that he could not at
tend the proceedings.
This ruling was set aside and Sric-
pen was brought into the dock. He
was very pale and evidently had lost
strength since his conviction.
The prisoners counsel was the
same as appeared for him at his
trial. The principal grounds upon
which they based their principals IN
which they based their appeal We're
that:
First: That one juror having been
taken i'll during the trial, was reno =
ed from the court by physicians with
out being in the custody Of an officer
Second: That the identity of the
corpse found in the cellar Of the Grip
pen home has not been established.
and;
Third: That the crowns rebutting
evidence had been improperly admit
tea.
Solicitor Tobin said it was not
charged that anyone had tempered
with the juror while he was tempo
rarily excused, but that an important
principle of law was involved.
The crown offered the evidence Of
a bailiff that the juror was in charge
throughout his illness. Deciding this
point the court ruled that the temper
airy separation of the juror did not
affect the trial.

and the peaceful settlement of inter
national disputes.
Now, therefore, /, William How
