MAYS LANDING, Sept. 6.-Atlantic
county politicians are indignant at
what they deem an injustice to their
party in the action of Justice Samuel
Kaliseh and Attorney-Genera Edmund
Wilson in postponing all of the cleo
ton trials until after the primary cleo
ton. Justice Kalisch announced this
morning that the trial of Thomas Nc
Dewitt and George Amole. set down
for September Il at the urgent request
Of counsel so it would come off befors
the primaries. would not be held until
October 9.
No date has been set at all for the
trial of Sheriff d. l.. Johnson, and all
the other cases are dated for October
"a. The indicted men are confident of
acquittal and anxious to get their ac-
quittal on record before the primaries,
as the Democratic leaders of the our
ty are making hay while the sun
shines" out of the indictments.
Justice Kaliseh notified County Clerk
Samuel Kirby this morning that he
will be ready today at the meeting of
the elisor drawn Atlantic county grand
jury to receive additional indictments
found in the election investigation still
being probed by that inquest. The
jurymen convened at $50, and Justice
Kalisch is ready to receive their pre-
sentiment at any time.
Ten additional indictments were
handed in at noon to Justice Kalisch
by the grand jury, which immediately
retired to its quarters and proceeded
with the Investigation of other cases in
which Detective Frank Halliday, the
State Democratic prober, has evidence
ready. The crowd that quickly gath
cred in the court room when the jury
filed in was disappointed when Kalisclt
announced that no pleas would be
taken today, but hat the persons in
dicted would appear here next Wednes-
day.

LOWERING PRICES
Pressure Exerted at Delivery

to Some Extent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE better
feeling in the European markets was

tain its strength long, profit-taking
sales causing reactions of 1a to q in
some of the active stocks. Business
slackened greatly when prices took the

Beet Sugar and International Har-
vester !.
Noon-The upward tendency of the
stock market of the last few days was
still the governing influence during
this mornings session, and prices con-
tinued to advance. The initial i'm
petus came from Europe owing to the
more hopeful view taken in the foreign
markets as to the adjustment of the
Moroccan difficulty. Short covering
was continued and stocks were in
small supply, advancing easily when
ever a moderate demand appeared,
Speculation b~roadened in a striking
manner in the second hour with a
substantial rise in a wide variety of
stocks. Among the favorite issues,
Union Pacific, Reading, Northern Pa
ciic, American Smelling and Lehigh
Valley made gains of a point, while
some other stocks We're up from | to
3 points. The Hawley group was
heavily bought, Minneapolis, st. Louis
preferred mounting 61a points. Bonds
were active and firm. Transactions
were on a large scale in American To-
bacco IS and marlborough Metropoli-
tan 41s's, which rose over a point.
1 p. insight recessions followed
the midday bulge in prices and the
market became very quiet. Bull inter-
Isest derived encouragement from the
government weekly weather map,
which disclosed more favorable condi-
tons in the corn and wheat regions.
2 p. m.-Announcement of an increase
in the marlborough Rapid Transit
dividend explained the recent heavy
buying of the stocks and bonds of the
Observation-Disclosures Company,
which controls the Rapid Transit Com
pany. The securities made a further
sharp advance following the announce
ment. Otherwise the market was list
less.
3 p. m.-The market closed irregular.
Pressure was exerted against the mar
ket around the delivery hour and some
round amounts of stock were sold.
One block of $500 shares of u. S. Steel.
The price went down to 717s, COM
pared with ", its highest, despite the
favorable summing up of con-
ditions by a trade review. The reac-
ton ran a similar extent in Union Pa
cifio. Lehigh Valley, Northern Pacific
and Reading, and also cut largely into
the advances in some of the less active
stocks.
