Vow YorI, stncz Marl.ct.

Wall St, New York, Dec. 22-STOCKS-
The nearness of the three-day holiday
In the stock market restricted trading to
small proportions during the morning and
speculative interest was not sufficient to
bring about any decided general move
ment Professional traders were bearish
toward the market as a whole and there
were indications of short selling among
the favor1te speculative mediums. An
undertone of heaviness prevailed in the
second hour but losses in the leading is
sues were not important apart from
Amalgamated Copper which declined a
point. Some low priced stocks were con-
spicuously weak, especially Denver and
Rio Grande preferred which yielded 21k
to 1914 The four per cent bonds sold Off
points to 80. Anaconda and the Rock
Island and American Wooden stocks lost
to H.. Wabash preferred rose 1 and
the four per cent bonds 15s.
Bonds were irregular.
Lehigh advanced 1ss to 1858, a new rec
ord for the movement. Reading made only
a slight response to this rise and the 9TH
er prominent stocks were not essentially
changed. Great Northern Certificates
rose ~ Denver and Rio Grande stocks
and the per cent bonds went to new
low records and there also was pressure
against the Rock Island stocks. Prices
were on the down grade at IL o'clock
The bulk of the limited business was in
Lehigh Valley, which reached 1864, the
highest figure ever made and points
above yesterdays closing. The rest Of
the list was virtually at a standstill with
the important stocks ruling at about last
nights level.

JURY HAS THE CASE
Testimony and Arguments Over in
Fowler Damage Suit.

The Fowler Packing company's s., 800, 900
damage suit was submitted to a jury in
the United States circuit court at noon
today, after an entire days argument by
the lawyers. At 1870 this afternoon, the
jury was placed in charge OF United
States Marshal Harrison, and retired to
consider the evidence.
For nearly three weeks the case
brought by the Fowler interests against
the Kaw Valley Drainage district, has
been trial in the federal court. BY
agreement the case was submitted before
Judge A. S. Van Valkenberg, of the west
ern division of the district of Missouri,
who was called to Topeka by Judge Pol
lock.
There is little hope that the jury will
reach an agreement before some time
Saturday and perhaps not until next
week 1t is necessary for the II men to
reach an agreement concerning many
separate claims for damage and these
questions are expected to keep the jury
busy for some time. Unless an agree
ment is reached by Saturday night the
jurors will be compelled to remain in To-
peka and will not be able to return to
their homes for Christmas.

that Persia had yielded before the
demands contained in the Russian ulti-
matum of November 20. These includ-
ed the dismissal of w. Morgan Shuster,
the American who has been acting as
treasurer general of Persia since June
last.
Details have not yet reached the
British governm but it is said that
Russia's demand that the appointment
of foreign advisers to the Persian gov
eminent should hereafter be subject to
Russian and British approval, has been
found with some slight notifications
agreeable to both parties.
The Russian ultimatum to the terms
of which Persia has now acceded, was
delivered to the Persian government
by the Russian minister at Teheran
on November 20. 1t demanded besides
the dismissal Of Mr.. ShuSter, an apOl-
ogy from the Persian government be-
cause of its Interference with the
property of Persians under Russian
protection and also the payment of an
Indemnity to Russia for the expendf-
lures she had incurred in sending
troops to Persian territory.
The national council declined at first
to comply with Russia's demands al
though the cabinet was inclined to do
order the advance of 1000 troops of
all arms from Kasbin unless Persia ac-
ceded within twenty-four hours. A
further discussion of the question at
issue between the members of the
Persia cabinet and the National coun-
ell evidently led the latter to. see the
of yielding to Russia

He Passes Up the BEST Sellers in the
Book Stores.

Washington, Dec. 22.-President Taft,
who began his Christmas shopping in
New York, made trip through the
down town section yesterday and Sc
Iected number of gifts.
The presidents objective point was
a book store, but enroute he spent
some time at a silversmith's, where he
made several purchases His advent
into the shopping district was made
in the quiet way in which Mr.. Taft
moves about the streets of the capital.
and hundreds among whom he went
missed seeing him altogether.
While in the book store, a young
army lieutenant, intent on his exami-
nation of some editions de luxe, pushed
against the president, ob1ivious of the
fact that he was jostling his command
er-in-chief. Mr.. Taft was equally alb
sorbed with Major Butt in selecting
some volumes, and failed to observe
the officers presence.
The president confined his purchases
to standard works and let the best
sellers go by. He returned to the
White House shortly after o'clock.

ROBBING HIS PARTNERS
Theory of the Marks Defense in Re-

Council Bluffs. Dec. 22-In the trial
of Ben Marks, charged with conspiracy
with T. {. Mabray and others to de-

of money, Mabray, chief witness for
the prosecution, was on the stand to-
day for the fourth day of his exami-
nation. Attorney Organ, for the de-
tense, continued his grilling cross x-
animation.
The theory of the defense as devel-

bray is that the latter in making the
claim that he was paying large sums
of money to Marks for protection
against interference by the city and
cornty authorities and for assistance
from the First National bank in col

several lieutenants and captains hereto
fore have been removed and the commits
sion has begun hearing charges of
similar nature against another inspector,
John Wheeler, four Heutenants and a
captain.

out to clean up north side vice in HIS own
way and was told by Inspector Revere
that there was nothing doing regard
ing certain places he had prepared to
move against Thereafter, he said, he
