NEW YORK, Jan. A.-There was a
decided increase in the volume of trade
during the first hour today, a let-up
with the end of the hour with a slight
reaction, and then a stronger tone fol-
lowed by a rather unsettled closing.
Gossip was generally of more bullish
character, and the shorts have become
imbued with the belief that the manipu-
lators are using easy money and their
nerve osbring about an advance 81
along the line before either the freight
cases or the decisions in the trust mat
ters have been reached. AS the result,
they are fighting the advancing ten
dency of the market with less VigoI,
and the strength at the close last night
seemed to give them a bad scare. The
bank statement today showed good i'm
provement, and gives promise of a
maintenance of ease in monetary cOndi-
tions. Bull sentiment is also fOstered
by the probability of successful hota-
ton of the city bond issue. Further
stock and bond issues by railroads and
industrial interpretations are likely 10
be forthComing-the time apparently be-
ing opportune. The significance of
these issues lies not alone in the fact
that they will be well taken, if one may
judge from the past, but that they Will
put the railroads and corporations in
funds for improvements and better
ments, and thus add to the resumption
OF business activity. The shorts have
been run in in lively fashion. and some
of the conservative houses are advising
their customers not to climb after
stocks, but rather to wait and get in
on the reaction brought about by the
curtailment of the short interests.

What did she say TO that" asked
Mr.. Handlan.
Offered Her 1000.
She replied, oh, Lordie, that is more
than I have-say, l will mike it $1,000 if
you will put a pill in the water to kill
John. I certainly do hate that brute "
What was the balance of the cOnver-
sation?"
Il told hen would think it over"
Did you ever talk about arsenic in
Mr.. Schenk's drinking water?'
Yes, l asked Mrs. Schenk if she ever
put arsenic in it and she simply smiled.
Il told her l was watching her hus-
oand closely and she tapped me on the
shoulder and exclaimed: Good! You
are doing just fine. If John Schenk
should die | would be the happiest
woman In the world. Every night I
pray God that l will be called up in the
morning and told that he is dead. -
Asks Written Agreement.
Miss Kline testified that this conversa-
ton had taken place In Mrs. Schenk's
automobile. She continued:
Mrs. Schenk declared there were
times when she could kill her husband
l asked her why she didn't, and she
asked eagerly: Will you do IT.? | re-
piled that that was another matter.
She again offered me $1,000 l asked
her for an agreement in writing to as
sure me Of getting part of the estate,
but she declared that she would put
nothing in writing at all
what was said about your leaving?"
asked the prosecutor.
Finally Mrs. Schenk declared she
would give me the $1,000, but that |
should not withdraw from the case
right away for fear my leaving would
arouse suspicion. She said she would
give me an agreement in writing cover
ing. the $1,000 on the following day,
which would be November >. I will get
the stuff she said. asked her what
she meant by stuff and she replied:
Why, the poison. of curse She had an
impression ! was on night duty, and
night. She gave me directions, say:
You can give it to him yourself, or let
him take 1t up himself You can lay IT
on stand near by and let him pick
It up
Afraid to Telephone.
Continuing. the witness said: ''On
November I called Mrs Schenk up on
the telephone and asked her why she
had not brought the pill to the hospital.
and she replied: There is nothing do
ing in that line for I couldn't get the
arsenic. l do not wish to talk the mat
ter over any more over telephone.
Mrs, Schenk was in love with Philips
that is the reason she wanted to get
rid of her husband" said the prosecutor
today. Lundy Wilson, Mrs. Schenk's
chauffeur, will give testimony of a
highly sensational nature; in fact, his
testimony will be the real thriller of
the trial.
I'VE have not decided whether Mr.
Schenk shall be put on the stand"
Court opening in the Schenk case to-
day awas delayed fOrty-five minutes to
permit Prosecutor Handlan to dispose of
pending cases in the circuit court.
Mrs. Albert LaSCh, wife of a juror,
became the mother of son late yester-
day Lasch will not seek to be eX-
cused.
Mrs. Schenk smiled at the juror when
she heard the news.
DR.. J. B. Thornton, the medical ex-
pert, who examined Schenks blood, was
the first witness for the State today.

Five University Teams Eager for Crack
of Starters Pistol.


Poughkeepsie, June 27.-Fourteen
picked crews, representing Cornell, Co
lumbia, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and
Wisconsin, eagerly awaited the crack
of the starters pistol this afternoon
that would send their frail shells down
the Hudson river in the intercollegiate
regatta.
With skies overcast and rain prom
ised, the early weather Indications
were unfavorable. but the visitors who
had gathered for the regatta found
consolation in the fact that there was
little wind, scarcely enough to cause
ripple on the river.
While Cornell continued favorite in
the betting today there was no denying
the possibilities of Columbia and Penn
sylvania. 1t became known today that
the Quakers on Saturday rowed the
four mile course in 1902, only a few
seconds slower than the course record
Of 1858 1-5 made by Cornell in 1901, and
this tended to boost their stock The
four oar Varsity race-the first Of the
days events--was scheduled to start at
1890 p. m. The battle of the freshmen
eight at 4:15 and the Varsity race at
$50.
The five universities will be repre-
scented in each of the scheduled events
except Wisconsin, which has not en-
tered g crew in the tours.
Although the regatta crowds were
not so large as a in previous years,
thousands poured into the city during
the day by boat, train and automobile.
