1t Is a Thrilling Picture at the Best
Theater Today.

Clusters Last Fight which was
shown continuously all day yesterday and
last night and which is billed for this

and young the history of that notable
hattie

attorneys for Frank Murray and VIII
nam Shay, convicted in the Wyandotte
county court on a charge of train ro,,
perry. have filed an application for a writ
OF haoeas corpus in the supreme court
Ihey allege that the law under which a.,
TWO men were sentenced was inoperatfte

that the penalty is not in accordance Uz,th
the law.
In 1903 the men were sentenced to the
penitentiary for indeterminate terms ~

MARKET STRONG
IN CLOSING HOUR


NEW YORK, April 9.-The stock
market showed a reactionary tendency
at the opening today. The movement
was quite active, but in no ease were
changes more than fractional.
Il a, m.-Weakness In American Can
and the Rock Island issues added to
the unsettlement of the list soon after
the opening, but counter movements
in some of the standard issues soon
brought a general recovery.
Noon-By noon the market broadened
and was at its best, with especial
strength in Union Pacific and the
Southern group of roads, while L.. S.
Steel showed signs of another upward
move. Bonds were steady.
1 p. m.-An active buying movement
cropped out in Reading, which gave a
better tone to the whole market. The
list became quiet and began TO yield
slightly.
. p. m-The Copper producers report
for March, showing a decrease of about
$4,000 pounds in supplies on hand,
compared ~unfavorably with the preced-
ing month. but had no adverse effect
on the shares concerned.
3 p. m.=The market closed strong.
The last hours business was uneyent-
full, save for a rise in Louisville and
Nashville to 163 and Reading to 1868.
Final prices were well up To the best
figures of the day.
