SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court rendered a few de-
cisions yesterday. The judgment of the
Supreme Court Of California afirning a
sentence of the death penalty on one
Finley was affirmed. Finley was a life
prisoner, who was convicted under the
California code of making an attack
with a deadly weapon. In the case of a
life prisoner" convicted of the offense
the penalty is death. Finley was CON-
victed and sentenced. He appealed to the
Supreme Court on the ground that the
law. which he alleged Disseminated
against life prisoners was unconsti-
tutional because it amounted to a de-
nial of "the equal protection of the laws
by singing out one class of prisoners for
the death penalty. Justice McKenna gave
the unanimous opinion Of the court, af-
firming the sentence of death.
The court in an opinion by Justice Van
Devanter reversed the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals in the case of the
Troy Bank, of Troy, Ind, against G. A.
Whitehead & Co. The bank was the
owner of one of two promissory notes,
each for $500, given to secure a Single
vendors lien. The bank Joined with the
other holder in a suit in the Federal
Court. The court dismissed the action
amount involved necessary to give the
Federal court Jurisdiction is 5000. The
lower court M1d the actions should be
treated separately. The Supreme Court
took a different view and reversed the
judgment on the ground that the suit
was to enforce a vendors lien and not
upon the notes, that 1t was a Single
transaction and indivisible, and that the
amount involved, S2,40O, was sufficient to
epfN thn ~nIn
The court, in an opinion by Justice
Hughes. also reversed the Judgment of
the United States Circuit Court for the
Middle district Of Tennessee in the case
of Helm and others against Zarecor and
others, involving the controversy between
the General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church and the publication society of the
church, located at Nashville. The case
grew out of the union of the Presby-
terian General Assembly with the Cumber-
land Presbyterians in 1906. Certain men,
hers Of the Cumberland Presbyterian So
ciety rebelled against the union and
sought to retain control OF the publica-
ton society.
A bill in equity was filed m the Fed
eral court below to declare a trust in the
property of the publication society in
favor Of the General Assembly OF the
Presbyterian Church, and to enjoin the
publication society, a Tennessee corpora
tion, and certain officers and members OF
it from interfering with the conduct OF
the publication business by the General
Assembly. Federal Jurisdiction was
claimed for the case by the petitioners
on the ground of diverse citizenship the
defendant publication concern being a
citizen OF Tennessee and the petitioners
claiming residence in other States. The
Federal court in Tennessee dismissed the
bill for want of Jurisdiction, claiming
that the publication society, being a
branch of the General Assembly, should
have been named as complainant and not
defendant.
The Supreme Court held this to be an
error and reversed the case, and ordered
1t heard by the court below.

New High Records for Present Movement Made
in Reading, Union Pacific, and Other
Leading Stocks
Leading Stocks.

PIE generally pay very little attention to
it any more. This time there are cir
cumstances that justify a belief that
something is really going to happen.
If 1t is not distribution of concealed
assets by Reading, then it must be that
the First National Bank is making a
market on which to liquidate it's specu-
lative line, preliminary to retirement from
the stock jobbing business. Sale of bank
stocks by the National City Bank has
drawn attention to the speculative pool
department of the national banks in such
way as to make it advisable for them
to discontinue the business. The public
argues that If a bank can conceal assets
it can conceal deficits, and unless all the
national banks go out of the stock jobbing
business Congress will surely start an
investigation that will hurt them severe
ly.
Now that Steel has crossed 80, Union
Pacific 170, and Reading has had an up
ward movement of nearly fifteen points,
the predictions made more than a week
ago have been fulfilled to the figure.
There is a fascination about advancing
prices that catches the public imagination.
The hypnotic influence of the rise has
caused many persons to buy stocks who
have believed, and who really believe
yet. that fundamental conditions are not
improved.
Those that are weakening and are 60
ing over to the bull side of the market
are consoling themselves with the feel
ing that perhaps it was the Europe mar
ket that depressed the American market
after all AS n matter of fact, the de-
cline in American stocks began when the
Moroccan situation became alarming, and
the advance began when that situation
was definitely adjusted. 1t is also a fact
that Europe sold a great bulk of stocks
that broke the market, and these stocks
had unusual influence because the real
certificates came out and had to be taken
care of. The bulls argue that everybody
knew the corporations were going to be
attacked ANYHOW
