directed at the courts and the ju-
dietary, but that the popularity of such
attacks had passed.
81 am in thorough accord and SYM
pathy with counsel for the defend
ants" said Judge Sessions, ain his
reference to unwarranted and unjus-
tifable attacks made on the courts
and the judiciary in recent times.
They were made, perhaps, for politi-
cal purposes, or, perhaps, to frst
create and then to satisfy popular
clamor.
"The popularity Of such attacks is
waning, am glad to say. | have scant
patience with any person who disre-
CARDS these great principles OF our
government, which have been estab-
lished for many years and are the
combined wisdom of many generations,
and still stand as the safeguards OF
the rights OF the people"
Those who filed pleas Of abatement
were William Rockefeller, Charles F.
Brooker, William Skinner, ID. Newton
Barney, Robert w. Taft, James s. FL
ton. Frederick F. Brewster, Henry X.
McHarg and George F. Baker.
The immunity pleas Of Thomas De
Witt Cuyler, John L. Billiard and Ed
ward ID. Robbins, it was announced,
would be considered later in the week.
Judge Sessions fixed Thursday fore
noon as the date for argument Of de-
murrers, at which time the accused
must also enter their final pleas.

N. Y. STOCKS SOLD
In PHILADELPHIA
Continued from page 1

New York will open for trading in
stocks in the immediate future. None
Of these members, all Of whom have
been in close touch with the New
York authorities. would allow himself
to be quoted, but this opinion. it was
admitted, was based more upon infor-
nation that had come from New York
than on any developments here.
Before the opening of the exchange
brokers' Offices and the floor were
crowded. When the gong rang there
was p mighty cheer, and within five
econds lis shares of Pennsylvania had
changed hands at 52H, the lowest price
Of the day. Philadelphia Electric,
opening at the same moment, was up
two points above the CLOSING. and Le-
high Valley, which closed here at 60.
opened and held at 81. With these
prices whatever doubt existed as to
the wisdom of the governors in de-
Gliding to reopen vanished.
The bulk Of the business was done
in the first hour. From then on it was
quiet until toward the close, when
again the brokers greeted the gong
with n cheer ard departed comparing
notes on the experiences OF the day.
New-York tribune., 1914-12-01
BANK ACCEPTANCES
A BROKERS' AID
But Opposition Grows to New
Way of Financing Transac-
tiOnS in Securities.

The new practice of some of the
state banks and trust companies of
making acceptances for brokers with
security transactions as a basis has
grown to such proportions recently
that yesterday there was quite a lit
tie talk among other bankers of find
ing some way to discourage, if not to
prohibit, it. As yet the sentiment
against the practice, which is called
"bad business" by bankers like Walter
f. Frew, president of the Corn Ex-
change Bank, has not taken the form
of open protest, but the feeling is
widespread that real harm can come
if it is persisted in.
What the complaining banks prin-
cipally object to is the tendency such
acceptances have to depress rates for
mercantile loans and so produce undue
expansion in trade. Under the state
laws. as they were revised early this
year. banks may accept almost any
kind Of bills, whether they are created
through speculation or not, but many
of the state bankers believe that they
should be governed by the same kind
Of restrictions that apply to national
banks. The latter, being ali members
of the Federal Reserve system, are not
permitted to accept bills unless thev
arise out of commercial or agricultural
/ transactions, and the term to which
| these bills may run is limited to a COM
n a 20 rnl fax n L
cause they are based on actual trade.
they tend to liquidate themselves auto,
matically. Brokers' bills, on the con-
trary, carry with them no such pre-
sumption.
The advantage to the broker in
financing his business with bank ac-
| ceptances is, of course, that he gets
his money Immediately through dis
counting these bills. Time and again
the accepting institution itself has
bought the acceptances for investment.
Even the national banks are not for
bidden TO buy this kind of acceptances,
and some Of them have bought them.
They cannot rediscount them with the
Federal Reserve banks because such
paper is not eligible, but they can read
lily dispose of them in the investment
market Some of these acceptances.
il was said yesterday, were considered
so desirable as investments that brok-
ers have been able to sell them on as
low as a 37s per cent basis.
Discount rates are so low abroad
now-"discounts TO arrive" being quot
ed at 3 per cent in London yesterday
that those who have the facilities for
negotiating their paper there and car
rying their security holdings on the
other side are doing it; but in good
many cases securities are being car
ried here with the aid of these same
bank acceptances.
In the foreign exchange market
there was not much activity yester-
day, sterling fuctuating hardly more
than quarter Of cent in the pound.
One Of the most important interna-
tional houses was heavy buyer of
demand. At the present range OF
prices il is profitable for banking
houses to buy demand and sell cables
against it, but little advantage is be-
ing taken of the opportunity. Another
call will soon be sent out in connec-
tion with the city loan subscriptions,
but it will not affect the exchange
market because the payments will be
made in Clearing House checks.

Move to Quash Indict-
ments of w. Rockefeller
and 8 Others Fail.
THREE ABATEMENT
PLEAS OFFERED
Federal Judge Sets Thursday
for Argument on the
DemurrerS.

The first move of counsel for
William Rockefeller and eight others
of the twenty-one New Haven Railroad
directors indicted for violation Of the
Sherman law toward having the indict-
ments quashed on technicalities was
defeated yesterday, when Judge Ses-
sions, in the Federal Court, refused to
sustain their abatement pleas. Inc
court made short shrift of the case
giving a decision Immediately upon
completion Of the arguments by Alton
B. Parker, Richard V. Lindabury and
other counsel. 3,
Judge Sessions said that he had
little patience with mere technicalitles
and with such narrow construction
of the laws relative to procedure, the
following OF which tended to obstruct
rather than to further the cause OF
justice.
Former Judge Parker attacked the
United States Attorney Generals office
in his argument, saying that 1t was
greedy of power, ever ready to exer-
else every bit of power that belonged
to it and to seize power that did not
belong to 1t. Referring to the en-
ployment Of a special Attorney Cen
eral in the New Haven case, he seemed
to consider that such action was an
interference with judicial delibera-
tions and proceedings before the grand
jury.
Deputy Attorney General Swacker
took exception TO these remarks. Mr..
Parker said he was not dealing in per-
sonalities, but maintained that the At
torney General had no right, however,
to appoint as assistants to the Dis
trict Attorney the two stenographers
who were admitted to the grand jury
room.
There were three abatement pleas
offered by the indicted men. The first
asked for the dismissal of the indict-
ment on the ground that the grand
fury had not been properly drawn, be-
cause the names were placed IN the
Jury box by William Tallman, deputy
court clerk, instead of by Alexander
Gilchrist, the clerk. The second plea
was based on the ground that the
grand jury had no jurisdiction to hnd
the indictments, its regular term hav-
ing expired when they were found.
Counsel attempted to argue that the
grand jury could not hold over It's
term, even to complete an important
investigation.
The third plea was made on the
ground that the proceedings before
the grand jury had been irregular and
illegal, because two stenographers had
been present during the proceedings.
Deputy Attorney General Swacker re-
ferred to this plea as SILLY one"
He said that the two stenographers,
althnfgh not members Of the bar. had
beer regularly appointed assistants to
the District Attorney, and sworn in
as such. He said it was not contended
that the stenographers were present
during the deliberations of the grand
jury.
Former Judge Parker drew the SYM
pathy of the court when, in the course
of his argument, he said there had
been too much unwarranted criticism
