New York. Jan. e-Thc falling off to-
day in stock market activity was &C
companied by small net changes in the
price of shares. The tendency of the mar
ket was, however, in an upward direction
and its best feature was, perhaps, that
despite the contraction in the quantity OF
the dealings the market displayed a
broadening character.
The three leading stocks, Steel, Union
Pacific, and Reading. were comparative-
ly neglected. and their price held within
an exceedingly narrow range throughout
the day. On the other hand there We're
movements of decided sort in the
Southern Railway common and preferred
shares and in Consolidated Gas, American
Beet Sugar Tennessee Copper. Amalga-
mated, National Biscuit common. and one
or two specialties. such as North Amerl-
can and La Clede Gas.
It may be that dealings in these par
uclliar shares were all due to special rea-
sons. La Clede Gas stock has been strong
" bought for long time. and the man.
asement of the company this afternoon
announced an issue of stock of s., o0o 0Oo
half of which was to be sold at 10 and
the remaining portion given as a bonus
TO stockholders
Gas Dividend Predicted.
The impression continued to prevail that
Consolidated Gas stock is moving along
toward an enlraged dividend distribution,
even if this event may not perhaps take
place at the next meeting of the direc-
tors called for dividend action. In the
ease of National Biscuit common. it Is

idend on the stock will be raised from

month. and there are some reasons for
thinking that perhaps an extra distribu-
tlon may also be made
There have long been Indications based
especially upon the larger earnings made
IN the past year by the Southern Rail
way Company. that a resumption of
dividend declarations on tho companys
preferred stock is reasonably near at
hand The rise in Tennessee Copper was
explained by the annOurcemsn that the
company has made very ftvorab BILE con-
tract with some Of tn" chemical and
fertilize- companies for the disposition of
its waste products, for which the other
companies find direct use as raw ma
terial. Improving business was stated as

the criminal court of appeals in an
opinion by Judge Armstrong Thurs
day, when the statute was declared
in violation of both the state and fed

The case was brought before the
court of last resort in criminal mat
ters by an application for writ OF
habeas corpus filed by w. j. Wilson
of Ardmore who was arrested charg
ed with having in his possession
three quarts of alcohol. The case
was submitted upon an agreed state
ment Of facts, and the only question
before the court was the constitu
tionality of the statute. The statute
limiting the amount that may be
kept in a private home to one gallon
was not in issue, but the question
is identicaly the same, and it was
stated by Judge Armstrong that the
ruling will operate also to put that
provision of the law out of opera.

1t was admitted in the statement
OF facts by both sides that Wilson
was engaged in conducting a livery
stable in Ardmore and that he had
in his possession three quarts OF
alcohol which he ordered from Fort
Worth, Texas, to be used about his
stable, and that he had no intent
of selling the liquor The liquor was
found by policeman of the city
of Ardmore, and Wilson was placed
under arrest on the charge of having
in his possession intoxicating liquors

laws. The case never went to trial.

MINORITY REPORT OF HOUSE

SAVED FOR CAMPAIGN FIGHT
Republicans Say That. Expose of Mon

Been Made Even If Democrats Want

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1.-THE re
publican minority report Of the house
committee on interior department eX
penditures, filed today, roundly scored
the sudden ending OF the inquiry into
the charge that the government had
allowed monopoly of the coal harbor
at Controller Bay.
The report said this expose should
have been permitted even if the dem
ocratic majority was unwilling for
partisan reasons to eXonerate the in
terror and other high officials of the
unjust and cruel charge"
