NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, Nov 1.-THE more

the stock market yesterday continu
ed to influence trading today. The
demand expanded and near the morn.
ing the list advanced steadily. AL
though the buying was heaviest
among the speculative stocks, gains
ranging from one to three points
were recorded in every quarter. The
change from the heavy tone of the
earlier part OF the week was ascrib-
ed in part to cessation of the heavy
profit taking sales. The views ex-
pressed by ex-President Roosevelt on
the trust question also were referred
to as factor in stimulating the mar
ket
Bullish enthusiasm grew with the
upward march of prices. Extensive
buying by the important speculative
interest proved the impression
that large lines which had been sold
higher up were being replaced. Uni

CHALLENGES ARE UTILIZED
THE STATE HAS EXHAUSTED ALL
BUT FIVE OF ITS PEREMP-
TORY EXCUSES.
DEFENSE IS MORE FORTUNATE
CAN STILL OBJECT TO ELEVEN
MORE TALEsMEN IF SUCH
BECOMES NECESSARY.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 17.-TwC
more jurors, making five in all, were
sworn in the Mcnamara murder trial
today. They are ]. B. Sexton, a re
tired farmer, and William j. Andre
a non-union carpenter
The state excused Talesmen Ar
thur Gribbling, William Brunner and
Clark McClain. The defense excused
Brewster c. Kenyon, A. c. Heath, T.
H. Elliott and Jacob Lansing. The
defense has now eleven and the state
five peremptory challenges left.
Counsel for both sides were in con-
sultation long before court opened
concerning the men they would ex-
cuse The peremptory challenging
process was begun by the state, which
excused Arthur Gribbling. The de-
fense then eliminated Talesman Ell
lott. Assistant District Attorney
Ford called the name of William
Brunner Attorney Darrow checked
off Jacob Lansing. There was a pause
as the state stopped. Then the de-
Tense excused both Clark McLain and |
Brewster c. Kenyon, leaving in the |
box to be sworn j. B. Sexton, o. J. |
Andre and c. A. Heath, in addition to
the three permanent jurors obtained
earlier.
The excusing of McLain by the |
state and of Kenyon by the defense
and the failure of the defense to ex-
cuse Andre were the surprises of the
situation. McLain, as banker, Is of
a class supposed by the defense to be
particularly averse to any unsettled
conditions in business and to persons
who make them so. Kenyon was
thought to have been marked by the
state because of his expressed disap-
proval of General Harrison Gray
Otis, publisher of the Times. His
varied investments, in the opinion OF
the defense, might prove an uncon-
scious influence and he was excused
for this reason. Andre, in his exam
ination by the defense, said he was fa-
vorable to unions "if they keep within
their rights as they sometimes do,
and expressed the belief that the
Times was dynamited
The last few men of the seventh
venire were summoned to fill the va
cant places in the box. A. D. Reamer
was excused for defense. w. H. May
nor was excused because of an un-
alterable opposition to capital punish
ment William Nicholson, a grocer,
was accepted as to cause by the de
fense after brief examination. 1t
was said that Heath was excused be-
cause of an idea held by John ]. Nc
Namara, brother of the. defendant,
that any man born in the county of
Kent, England, would not be the most
favorable sort of juror to try an
Irishman. Talesman Nicholson was
accepted by the state and A. c. Nc
Candless, Methodist rancher, was
challenged and excused after he said
he believed Mcnamara guilty and
could not give him the presumption of
innocence. The list of veniremen ran
out at this point and court adjourned
until tomorrow.

"You are a lot of religious

That sounds rough, but 1t is
just what Gypsy Smith told his
hearers last night. They were
"throngers," he said. They throng
here and throng there, gaping
and wondering and praising or
but never get down to
business and come into act AL
touch with Jesus Christ.
He wanted real religious ex-
perience for the crowd.
The tabernacle was damned
again and the meetings seem TO
be gaining in effectiveness.

underworld last night gave the rejuvenated game of
pugilism in Hammond the Knockout punch from which
it is never to come back" That the decision of
Mayor Smaley the board of police commissioners and
Chief Ausgen who sat referees at special session

can be clean but never is.
Congratulations reached the officials as soon as the
news became generally known, for their prompt action
in saving Hammond from being the stamping ground
for the element that has earned honest dollar
"At meeting this afternoon, y said Chief Austgen
to The Times, it decided that in the future there
shall be no more prizefghting boxing of any kind
That is final and from this there be appeal and
all applications in the future will be vain"
The action of the officials is not surprising. In
fact further counenance of conditions created by the
Chicago underworld in Hammond last night would
have been the real cause for surprise The congratu
lations due to the fact that the officials acted
promptly

The lid raised with the best of feeling toward the
fans who like to clean boxing exhibition but the
leeches that follow the sport have sucked it's life blood
in Hammond. The onus is not much on the game
itself as on the results.

ARRANGE FOR
SUMMER
SCHOOLS

BY today and tomorrow at the latest
every parent and guardian who has a
child or more attending the public
schools will have received a personal
letter from the superintendent, c. NJ.
MrDtniel, and Principal F. D. Nc
Elroy fthe high school informing
them of the standing of their charges
relative to their school work
In connection with this the pupils
have been furnished with a study
course outline showing work which is
to be done in the summer school which
opens next Monday and which is to con-
tinue for two months. In the letter
giving the credit reports. the parents
will have an opportunity to learn just
where the summer school would help
their children either in making up in
their studies or in doing advanced work
for next year.
In the past the summer school has
been found to be an excellent institu-
ton. The course is devoid of what
under ordinary circumstances would be
a grind. Some of the pupils who have
already enrolled have asked for early
morning sessions, and accordingly the
first hour will be from until o'clock
in the mroning. In the botany work.
for instance, the pupils will have an
opportunity to study as close to nature
possible.
Summer work will be provided for
the pupils from the fifth grade through
the high school. The course has the
additional advantage in that it keeps
the young folks busy during a season
which too often is devoted to idleness
and the finding of opportunities which
are detrimental to the child's welfare.
The work will be carried on in the
high school building, and the follow
ing teachers will have charge of the
course.
Botany, Mr. wicks; English, Mr..
Moutlon; mathematics. Mr.. McElroy:
German and French, Miss Eichhorn;
manual arts, Mr.. Everly; history, Miss
Turner
The course has been so arranged as
to be especially adapted to the pupils
taking 1t.
