obeycd orders of his superior in Che prosecution of two men but with this performance of his dtuy his connection with labor troubles began and ended. Speaking of the alleged refusal to prosecute a witness for perjury, Mir. Grgsby showed that no such perjury had been committed. He referred Co former Nome people sitting in the hall who could bear him out in all that he stated and some of those men thad actually been members of the Iougshorcmcu's union at Nome at the time. Scbofcld during the trial ask od Grgsby to get this witness, Bell. to tell the truth and Bell actually did go back on the stand and admit that he had told lie. so relieving Tm from the charge of perjury Mir. Gugsby completely knocked this charge also by showing that he was not in charge of the district attorneys office at all at the time. 'It only shows that Mr. Schofeld wants to be unfair" said the speaker. He de- y,arej that the accusation that he had been attorney for the Johnson Light erage company during the trouble would be ga joke at Nome" but that .t was expected to do some good in other places to his opponet. He read t,cgrams received from Nome in au- sver to ones he sent from here show ing that he was not attorney for the company a, that time and never did represent that company unsI a year later when he was their attorney in a mining suit.
 But after that he devoted fSs time to Mr. Wickersham.
 He admitted that WicIersham is a religion to some people and they stick by him like the itch but he read docu- meuts showing that the present dele gate was opposed to home rule and was in favor of the commission form of government. He also touched lightly on the fact that Wickersham after deciding a ease in favor of the Guggeuhcims immediately asked them for a job as their attorney. In this connection he mentioned the historic telegram of Wjckersbam: q am go- ing to run for congress. Where is Steve Buch?" Quick work" said Grigsby when he mentioned the Irst

Trading Not So snirIted.

The following analysis of the New
York stock situation was received yes
terday by w. B. Hibbs & Co. from Logan
& Bryan, their new York CORES spondents:
Trading was not so spirited and de-
spite the fact that prices in many in
stances were a shade higher than last
night, still the market seemed to have
lost considerable vigor. Steel ascended to
new high level, but the advance was
not maintained, despite the fact that it
is now said that earnings for the present
quarter will exceed all calculations and
reveal profits at the rate of about $50 per
share per annum. The government fled
Its brief in the Reading case, which ac-
counted for the pressure on that issue.

crete in the days news budget OF a spe-
cial to increase the initiative Of the trad
ing element on either side of the account
While bulllsh sentiment continues ram
pant, 1t strikes US from the looks and
action of the market that stocks have
been distributed In such volume as will
necessitate a period OF digestion and a
fair-siSed lowering in quoted values be-
fore a uniform advance can again be
promoted"
