On TRAIL FOR
OLD OFFENCE
Because He Went to Canada
Defendant Is Still
/
! Liable

Devils Lake, N. D., July 27.-
Charles Anderson, merchant at War
wick, N. D., was in Devils Lake We'd
nesday en- route from Minnewaukan
where he attended to legal business,
appearing as witness in the court
there.
The action was that of the state VS..
Baker, who is charged with breaking
into Anderson's store some four
years ago. The history of the case,
which has several offshoots, is very
interesting.
Four years ago Baker is charged
with rifling the Anderson store, Sc
curing, it Is said, money, other valu-
ables and case OF beer. Before ac-
ton could be brought, he Went to
Canada where he remained for some
! time. Later he returned, and it is
alleged made a clean breast of it all
! and wanted chance to start over
again.
Credit was secured from Anderson
and when the bill was presented,
Baker is said to have used uncompli-
mentary terms and again went to
Canada. On his return the present
action was brought.
An important feature is that had
he remained in some part of the Unit
ed States the offense would have been
outlawed. He has admitted, however,
that he was in Canada two years.
The preliminary hearing was to have
been held at Minnewaukan Monday,
but owing to the fact that a witness
was absent, 1t was adjourned.

COMMITTEE GOES

Continued from page ~.
"The Associated Press dispatch il

The Associated Press dispatch is
too general in its terms to admit Of
a specific reply, but we are unwilling
to believe that the alleged report of
1908 to the department of justice con-
tained charges which the most SUI
perf1cial investigation would have
shown to be unfounded.
1T is hard to believe that any re-
sponsible person could make the
charge, for instance that the harves-
ter company was selling it's export
machines at less prices than are
charged in this country, when the
contrary has been shown to be true,
not once. but many times"
In reply to the charge that the In
ternational Harvester company was
receiving rebates from the United
States Steel corporation on material
purchased. officials of the company
said that little steel was bought
from the steel trust, the company
getting most of its material from its
own mill, the Wisconsin Steel COM
psny, and a large part of the remain
der needed from the Jones & Laugh
lin company. It was said that prac-
tically nothing but sheet steel was
purchased from the United States
Steel corporation. 4

Money Rates
London, July 27.-NIoney and dis
count rates were q shade harder to-
day.
Continued liquidation owing to the
home political situation, and growing
unessiness regarding the Moroccan
dispute, raised apprehensions regard
ing the settlement which commenced
on the stock exchange today, and
made the markets fiat. Consols
touched " 1916, a new low record,
while the other sections were similar
ly depressed. Prices rallied in the
afternoon under the lead Of consols
which recovered the early decline and
closed a sixteenth higher on the day.
American securities opened around
parity but later eased off on realiz-
ing induced by the weakness in the
other sections. In the afternoon New
York buying caused recoveries
throughout the list and the market
closed steady.

ACTING QUEER
Prisoner Wanted Judge to Know
Where He Was.

Fargo, N. D., July 27.-"When are
they going to give me a preliminary
hearing??" inquired the mysterious
prisoner at the city Jail going under
the name of j. NJ. Thompson, of Desk
Sergeant Bowers this morning.
I'm little WHILE" answered the
sergeant.
Well" said Thompson, whenever
you are ready, you can tell the Judge
he will find me here, for l am busy
man"
Such remarks as the above tend to
convince that something is mentally
wrong with the prisoner, who hobbled
into the office of the states attorney
Monday on crutches and requested to
be arrested. The man was brought
to Jail and complaint was filed
against him by Mr.. Schas of the
Schas Garage company for the issu-
ance of bogus check for sS. in pay
ment for the rental of an automobile
which he used one evening.

The MARKETS
PRICES GAVE Way
BEFORE THE BEARS
Foreign Political Conditions
Afforded Opportunity to
Depress Prices

New Yor;. July 27.-The most
forceful bear movement of several
weeks was undertaken ON the stock
exchange today, and prices gave way
before the onslaught. Foreign and
domestic complications gave an op-
portunity which was seized by an ag-
gressive bear faction that has shown
considerable degree of confidence
and activity since the early part OF
the week. The gravity of the Moroc-
co situation and the prospect of a
long delay before the Canadian re-
ciprocity agreement is adopted by the
dominion were the chief factors made
use of by the bear party.
A feature of the market during re-
cent weeks has been the activity of
stocks on the upward movements and
their dullness on destines. During
the recession today, however, the
market was active and it ia assumed
that the short interest was increased
largely as result Of the days ac-
tivities. Toward the close improve
ment took place and most of the loss
es we're recovered, with some net
gains.
Two groups of stocks were con-
spicuous throughout the day. They
were the coal shares and the issues
of the railroads affected most direct
ly by Canadian reciprocity. The lat
ter stocks, which have been advanc-
ed on the strength of benefits expect
ed from reciprocity, broke sharply.
Canadian Pacific and its affiliated
roads and the Hill and Hartman
stocks fell from l to 2 points.
In the industrial group United
States Steel was relatively firm, at
no time declining more than a frac-
ton.
International Harvester was one of
the weakest of the industrials, reced-
ing 2 IA points on intimations that
the federal government might pro-
ceed against the company. The stock
displayed marked strength toward the
close, however, ending the day with a
loss of less than a point.
London selling was contributing
factor in the market weakness. The
over the Moroccan dispute
was reflected not only in London,
where consols touched a new low
record. but at all the European finan-
cial centers. Sales in the market for
London account were followed by
some buying. The total of transac-
tions was not large, probably not ex-
ceeding 10000 shares, with balance
of sales.
The bond market was steady. To-
tai sales par value 1888 900.
U. S. bonds were unchanged on
call.

desire during the last few days to place
this fund in the first class appropriations
