IN TRIAL OF CHINESE

SEATTLE, WASH, Dec 1.-THE
substitution Of deuce of hearts for
the trey Of hearts in the trial of See
Sing, accused of selling opium, led Po-
lice Justice Fred c. Brown to take jul
dicial notice that the court had been
cold decked" and ask the prosecuting
attorney to investigate the disappear
ance Of evidence.
The trey Of hearts containing on It's
back opium alleged to have been sofa
by See Sing to Aw Baron, was sent by
the court to the city chemist for analy-
sis. The chemist reported it was not
opium, handing the card back to the
Judge who turned it over, to find that
one of the spots was missing.
The chemist then remembered that
he had been visited by the attorney for
the defense while the card was in his
possession.

SEAL SALE PACE
Pupils Take 5000 Red Cross
Stamps and Promise to Dis
pose of More.

If all the schools Of Atlanta did as
wall as the Girls High school in the
sale of Red Cross seals, the Atlanta
campaign would be solved without
going any further, according to back
ers of the movement today.
The Girls High school took $50 worth
Of the seals or 5000 of them, and prom
ised to come for more-at least up to
800
There are As white schools in Atlanta
and II negro. 1t is a matter Of simple
arithmetic TO see how the schools alone
could dispose of the entire Atlanta is
sue of 100000 seals. if all the schools
followed the pace set by the Girls High
school.
Some of the other schools. which took
them in smaller quantities, already have
sent in orders of $500 more finding
they could do better than they first
thought. 1t begins to look as If the
schools might succeed in getting at
least half the total fund. or $500. for
open-air school work in Atlanta.
Mrs. +. G. Hodgson chairman Of the
Atlanta committee, has asked for more
volunteers for the Red Cross seal work.
Some thirty young women are engaged

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, December 5.-G P. M)- An extensive high pressure area of con siderable intensity, having it's central northwest, has extended southeastward very rapidly during the past 24 hours and on tonights map covers the greater portion of the country west of the Missis- sippi. It has caused a very severe change in weather conditions over the Rocky mountains and the plains states. Freezing temperatures prevailed at D. m. over the western half of the country except in extreme southern portions, and in the Dakotas and adjacent Canadian provinces readings ranged very near zero. Brisk northwest winds have made the cold more uncomfortable in the northern plains.

VALUES SUFFER
 SEVERE REVERSAL
Decline in Stocks Ran From 2 to 1 Points, Embracing
 Obscure Specialties

New York, December 5.-With transae- tions approximating one million shares security values suffered severe reversal on the stock exchange today. The de- cline, which ran from 2 10 points, em- braced the more obscure speciaties, as well as the standard shares and spec ulatiye favorites. Some of the losses were regained in the last hour but the closing was active and feverish.
 Southern Pacific was the one exception to the general rule of weakness. It's relative strength was the more signif- cant in view of the doubtful status of the Hartman properties by reason of the recent supreme court decision. It yielded temporarily, but closed with a slight net gain
 Some of the prices registered today were the lowest in months and in some cases the low level of the year was reached. The urgency with which stocks were pressed for sale suggested enforced liaui- dation no less than short selling. Nu- merous stop orders were uncovered espe- cialiy in United States Steel, which was the weakest of the more prominent is- sues. Steel fell under 70 before noon and later dropped to 6S1a compared with 73, its top price of the preceding day. Sales of Steel aggregated 220,OOO or about 20 per cent of the days total.
 number of unfavorable factors con- tributed to the decline, which may be said to have had it's inception in the Hartman decisions. Despite the further ease of money local banks continued to lose 10 the sub-treasary and by direct shipmentto the interior and Pacific coast It IS estimated that this drain approaches s6.OOO,0o0 since last Saturday. Taking this movement as basis further deficit in the reserve of the clearing house is likely to be shown at the end of the week.
 An interesting side light on the general situation was furnished by the largest quotations for seats on the stock ex- change. Two memberships were posted for transfer today at S5S,0Oo and s59. .oOo these prices comparing with ss9,O0O two weeks ago.

 Lisbony, Marion Moore, John c. Terrell, Caleb c. Martin, K. P. Cochran, K. 5. Ellison, A. H. Moore, Jr., Arthur Bonner. There was quite a discussion over o. V.

There were spir- ited speeches and he was finally not admitted on trial, but the bishop was given the privilege of hiring him as he sees fit.
 An important act of the conference to-
 day was the accepting of two splendid
 industrial schools, Downing at Brewton
 and Thomas at DeFuniak Springs, Fla.
 Both of these schools are strong institu-
 tions and valuable property. The sec
