dynamite TRIAL
TOJURY ON DEC. 27
Interval to Be Used in Argu-
ing Case Before
Jurors.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 1S.-
The forty defendants in the "dyna-
mite conspiracy trial faced the pros
pect today that their cases would be
in the hands of the jury by Friday
of next week.
The interval is to be devoted to ar
gument to the jury in which the
defense and the prosecution each is
allowed four days, and to the final
instructions by Federal Judge Albert
B. Anderson in ordering the jury to
retire to form its verdicts.
At the resting of the case by both
sides, after a total of $50 witnesses
had been heard and $4,000 pages of
testimony taken, Judge Anderson
overruled all motions to instruct the
jury to acQuit certain of the defend
ants, but the judge stated in the
cases of James Cooney, of Chicago,
and Frank J. Murphy, of Detroit, and
possibly others, "only shadow or
doubt" existed, although he would
leave it to the jury to decide.
Besides John T. Butler and Her.
bert S. Hockin, who is accused as
a "betrayer" of Ortie f. McManigal
and the Mcnamara brothers, although
himself charged with being a dyna-
miter, those kept in Jail because of
inability to procure bonds are Ed
ward Smythe and James e. Ray, of
Peoria, Ill.
The jurors. mostly farmers, have
been in charge of bailiffs ever since
they were selected on October 3.
They are provided with sleeping
quarters in the federal building.

ARCHIBALD TRIALS
END NOW IN SIGHT
All Testimony for Defense Ex-
pected to Be in Before
Tonight.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The end
of the testimony in defense of Judge
Robert w. Archibald, Of the Commerce
Court, was expected before night.
when the Senate reconvened today as
a court of impeachment.
A large number of witnesses were
on hand to testify further to Judge
Archbalds reputation and to bring
out points which the defense has em-
phasized in the attempt to show that
the judge has been wrongfully ac-
cused and that his business activities
have been innocent of any connection
with the use of his powers as a
judge.
The end of the trial is not expected
before the first week in January.
Closing arguments will be made then,
it is expected, and a decision reached
by the Senate within a few days after
Congress reassembles, as to whether
Judge Archibald shall be removed
from office.

TROLLEY COMPANY BEGINS
ITS NEW XMAS SCHEDULE
"Rush Hour" Service Extended
to Accommodate Patrons.

To provide additional service for
Christmas shoppers, the Public Serv-
ice Railway Company has extended
it's "rush-hour' schedules by starting
them earlier and keeping them in
effect for an hour later.
The result of this temporary change
is to put from 20 to 80 per cent. more
cars in use early in the afternoons
and until about o'clock in the eve
ming. In other words. practically
''rush-hour' service will be provided
from 1:30 to p. m, instead of from
4:3o to O'Clock.
The lines affected are the Broad,
clinton. Bloomfield, Orange, Central,
Springfield, Kearny, Mt. Prospect,
South Orange and Elizabeth. Thus
all lines from outlying sections will
afford extra accommodations for
shoppers to and from Newark stores.
This extra service is effective be-
ginning today, and for Saturday,
Monday and Tuesday it will be fur
ther augmented by the operation of
maximum service practically all day
and as far into the night as is neces-
sary to handle the Christmas traffic.

MARKET IS HEAVY
AT CLOSING HOUR
Announcement of Reading Div
idend Increase Causes Fu-
rious Activity.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.--Reading was
the weak feature of the market at
the opening today, falling a point on
the first few transactions. OIL shares
also were weak, and both California
Petroleum and Mexican Petroleum
yielded q. The tone of the market
was irregular, although changes were
small. Steel made a small advance
and United States Rubber rose a
point.
IL a. m.-Severe declines in some
obscure stocks combined with weak
ness in several important issues,
gave the market a downward inn
petus. Western Maryland and Mexi-
can Petroleum broke az and Califor-
MIA Petroleum 211. American To-
bacco added five points to it's recent
advance and .Lorillard gained four.
Noon-Attempts to market stocks in
which the public interest is slight
caused severe recessions, a case in
point being 20 point drop In General
Chemical on one transaction. Bonds
were easy.

Tested in the action of the market and
the slight inquiry was insufficient to
absorb the intermittent selling of
Reading and Union Pacific, which
ruled about point below yesterdays
close.
p. m.-Call money rates went
down to 3A per cent, but without
helping the stock market, which
reached lower level for the few
shares in which there was any busi-
ness. particularly Reading.
p. m.-The market closed heavy.
Announcement of the Reading divi-
dend increase converted the market
from a condition of apathy to furious
activity, with widely-varying prices.
Reading jumped points in as many
transactions and touched ITO, after
previously selling as low as 164ss. 1t
subsequently dipped to below 1877
again. Other stocks also bounded up.
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Steel and Lehigh sold point above
yesterdays final figures. These stocks
dropped back later almost as rapidly.
Union Pacific fell a point under last
night, and other shares also closed

OUTDOOR CONCERTS FOR
N. Y. ON NEW YEAR EVE

NEW YORK, Dec. ia committee
has been formed for the purpose of
endeavoring to have saner and less
rough celebration in New York of the
ending of the old and the coming of
the new year. The plan is to have
large meetings in such places as City
Hall Park, Union Square. Madison
Square and other spots suitable for
celebration. This celebration to
consist of the singing of old songs,
music by bands with grand chorus
of America starting a minute before
the new year begins.
The committee which has sent out
a call for contributions to aid the
movements, says it believes the peo-
pie will welcome a saner way to
observe the occasion. The members
whose names are signed to the call
are Lyman Abbott, Felix Adler, jr.,
DR.. John H. Finley. of the City Col
lege; the Rev. Frank Mason North,
Silas McBee, of the Churchman; Rev.
George Alexander, District. Attorney
Whitman, William Jay Schieffeiin,
Rev Stephen S. Wise and Jacob
A. Riis.
Mr.. Riis, one of those who took the
initiative, last night said:
"I was impressed last by Tetra-
zinna leading the singing on the
streets of San Francisco. 1t gave me
the idea that the celebration should
Broadway revel of noise and carous-
ing We have involved all the singing
societies. The Salvation Army will
abandon its watch meetings and as
semble in Union Square. There is
absolutely no religious touch to the
affair.""
