Tho late Governor Bell who in
spite of all the pressure brought to
bear upon him refused to commute
the sentence Of Mary Rogers. the
Bennington murderess, We're he
alive today would be in n position to
sympathize with the governor of
Connecticut. A woman has been
sentenced TO die in that state for
the murder OF her husband and q
campaign for Communication similar
to that which followed the final YER
dict in the Vermont case has been
put In motion. Like Governor Bell
the chief executive has refused to In
terlere and he Is being condemned
for the stand he has taken. although
there has as yet not been manifested
much of the vindlctiveness and
yltnperation that undoubtedly short.

Grain Market
GAs. ELECTRIC An

CHICAGO, Dec. 0.-Notwithstand-
ing a dip at the outset. wheat today
showed strength. There was good
buying on the part of leading houses,
whereas selling had only scattering
character. Reduced crop estimates
and disappointing threshing returns
from Argentina, with diminished re-
ceipts northwest of here and chances
of winter killing seemed to give cour-
age to the bulls. After opening "
to Il lower, the market rallied to well
above last nights level.
Despite sales here to exporters, al
easier feeling ensued in consequence
of realizing sales on the swell The
close, however, was firm, " to A@A
net higher.
Settled weather. with increased
rural offerings, brought about selling
pressure on corn. Weakness was
most pronounced in the December
option. Prices started * off to a shade
advance, and later suffered a sag all
around.
Lack of demand East had q bearish
effect The close was irregular, rang
ing from 1s@A decline to like ad
vance.
Commission house buying steadied
oats. The decline in corn made but
slight impression.
Provisions fell back with hogs. First
sales varied from the same as last
night to five cents lower, and the
market subsequently underwent an
additional fall.

BUYING POWER OF
RAILROADS SMALL
So Says Charles A. conant Be.
fore |. c. C. in Freight
Rate Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10.--Hearings
on the proposed 5 per cent. increase
of freight rates by Eastern railroads
were resumed today before the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Com
missioner Harlan, directly in charge
of the case, presided, other members
of the commission being engaged upon
cases elsewhere.
Mr.. Brownell, vice-presidept and
general counsel for the Erie Railroad,
called as the first witness Charles A.
Conant, of New York, to testify as to
the economic phases of the proposed
advance. Mr.. Conant declared that
THE purchasing power of The dollar
over the great mass of commodities
has permanently fallen since the pres-
ent schedule of passenger and freight
rates was established.
Mr. Conant pointed out the diff
cultleS of securing new capital for
transportation lines, because other In
dustries of high earning power were
able to outbid the railroads, showing
a lower earning power for the supply
OF free capital He pointed out also
the tendencies of investors to shift
their investments to those paying
high returns, In order to meet the In
~ OaSSu NoSI Oh ifNiuey even at. TIE
risk of some slight decrease In securi-
ties.
The railways" said he, have not
adapted their changes, as have other
industries. to the change in the pur-
chasing power of money They have
continued to sell their services for an
amount which has remained conpara-
lively fixed in money, but has declined
greatly in purchasing power. They
are not, therefore. on an equality with
other industries that are receiving a
much less proportion or share OF the
proceeds of the economic output OF
the country than that which thev
formerly received, and they are less
capable of contributing their share to
equipping this country for unfettered
competition with other countries Ia
the field of production and inter-
national commerce."
