(From the Detroit Jourhail'
The coroner's jury has found that
the killing of Miss Emma Gibson, py
a motor car, driven by Lloyd Hall
man, was an accident" and "un-
avoidable," which exonerates hin:
from the charge Of manslaughter iald
against him. The testimony given
at the inquest shows that Hallman
was going up Trumbull-ave., at a rate
OF speed far beyond what the law al
lows. He was going so fast that
when three ladies stepped on car
he was unable TO pull up In time 10
avoid them, and had TO turn to the
left and pass behind the car. Miss
Gibson had just stepped from the
curb, and, seeing no motor cars COM
ing down the street. had no reason
to expect that one would come tear
ing across to the wrong side of the
street, and at such a rate that the
front wheels would be smashed
against the curb before II could De

Mailman did everything In his pow
err to avoid an accident. even 10
swinging his machine over to the
wrong side OF the street Yet ne
alone Is responsible for the tragedy
and will have II on his conscience
that he has been responsible for the
death Of a fellow-being. The incident
was neither unavoidable nor an acci-
dent. in the common acceptation OF
the term, no matter what the cor

The Verdict and the Testimony.
To the Editor OF the Times: How
any jury OF sane men land | ques-
ton the sincerity of the jury In ques-
tion) could return the verdict they
did in the Gibson inquest is more
than | can understand. Ii was prov
en- beyond a doubt that Mailman was
running at an excessive rate OF
speed: that he was willfuly disobey'
ing the law, and yet, they return the
verdict they did. consider that a
jury that will cover up crime in this
manner Is as much holden for the
crime as the party who committed
same. II q man exceeds the speed
limit he Is taking his chances, and
say let him also take the conse-
quences. Had II been a member OF
any Of the families of the jury -$s
was killed the verdict would no dou,-.
have been different one. We should
beware unless these things be
brought home ourselves.

New York, Nov. 27.-Advancing sharply
in the first hour Of business to-day, the
stock market recorded gains of as much
as two points In some Of the active issues
and became almost buoyant. London was
cheerful in the American department, and
nothing but optimism prevailed in Wall
street. American Tobacco rose SIS a
share, and sold at 511, which is within
seventeen points of the highest prices on
record, representing a recovery Of $147 a
share from the low prices recorded after
the Supreme Court decision. The pre-
ferred stock also advanced more than
two points
But in the afternoon sentiment and
trading were completely reversed. All
the gains Of the morning were wiped out
in the last hour, and the market closed
active and weak at the low figures, with
net losses showing in many issues.
Perhaps 1t was the collapse of the cot
ton market that changed sentiment in the
street. The fact that the big crop of
this year will bring several hundred mill
ion dollars less than the smaller crop
Of last year is beginning to be appre-
ciated by the public. This means not
only a shrinkage of between 500, 900, 900
and $500, 1000 900 in foreign exchange in favor
of the United States, but 1t means that
out Of their reduced receipts Of cash the
planters must pay for the handling of
q per cent more in bulk of their output
The big crop is a big thing for the rail-
roads Of the South and for the spinners
but 1t has unsettled calculations Of in
ternational bankers and planters.

Sharp Advance in the Morning, but Downward
Movement Before Close Leaves Net
Losses in Manv Issues

In connection with the advance Of To-
bacco stock, a director of the company
expresses himself as highly delighted at
the settlement made by the court. 1t
is probable that II twelve insiders Of the
Tobacco company had been locked into a
room and ordered to devise plan where
by they could get the greatest advantage
OF the public they could not have framed
up better deal than the one confirmed
by the court. And yet this adjustment
of the Tobacco affairs Is the only one
that seems possible under the laws of
the United States, which guarantees the
owner peace protection. One report Is
that Congress will force the administra-
ton to appeal the Tobacco settlement
to the Supreme Court.
Much interest was taken in the demand
by Representative Martin w. Littleton
for an investigation of the rumored

alleging that Lamar was anxious to de-
press Steel stock, and had brought about
the publication of certain newspaper ar
ticles with that object in view. Mr.. STAN
ley opposed this as not being dignified.
In view Of the remarkable things that
have happened in Wall street since the
Stanley committee began its work, Con-
gress could do nothing more diginfied

Marlboro, Md, Nov. 27.-Having profited
by what they heard on the former trips
of the Maryland Agricultural College on
wheels, the farmers living along the line
of the Popes Creek branch Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad turned out to-day to
increase their knowledge of improved
methods of agriculture. They were given
talks on a diversified list of subjects, all
of vital importance to Prince George
County. The speakers, all OF whom are
Maryland farmers, at the close Of to-day's
work were h.srIy pleased with the at
tendance, and more particularly with the
attention and interest displayed by those
who came to learn. The Pennsylvania
Railroad and the State College of Agri-
culture are determined in their efforts to
upbuild the farming sections traversed by
the Popes Creek branch. Their cam
paign along this line was started three
years ago, and since then an opportunity
has been given to practically every farm
er to receive advice on the growing of
his crops. Tobacco, for which the soil OF
Prince George county is particularly
adapted, was one Of the subjects dis
