Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 16.-At the
afternoon session of the supreme
court in the Knott-Catts case, the
court ruled that Col. Flournoy, coun-
sci for the canvassing board, be al
lowed to introduce evidence of any
physical changes in the ballots and
also to permit counsel for the board
to amend their answer so as to in
clude additional precincts in Madison
county where fraud is charged
At the close of the session, the
court held that the county is the unit
and if fraud is proven in one precinct
it invalidates the whole county and
must be thrown out of the recount.
The court intimated that it would
permit the introducing of the ballots
as testimony if the preliminary evil
dence was sufficient to prove tamper-
ing of ballot boxes and ballots.
Flournoy Victor.
Flournoy is the victor in today's
battle with the court as he will be
permitted to introduce evidence and
amend the answer, which the court
was not inclined to admit yesterday
and this morning.
The court adjourned till 10 o'clock
Monday.
Swore Ballots Were Changed.
The eight clerks and inspectors and
County Judge j. r. Kelly, Of Madison
county, who were examined, testified
that the ballots on the recount were
not in the same physical condition as
at the first count.
The clerk and one inspector of
Greenville precinct testified that on
the recount six ballots were thrown
out, being voted double first choice;
that Sn the first count several ballots
were not voted for governor, but on
the recount all the ballots were voted.
The inspector who strung the bal
lots said it was not the same string
as he used.
Judge Kelly said the ballots in sew
eral precincts in the recount showed
an attempt had been made to erase
and remark the ballot.
In Lee precinct, in Madison county,
the evidence introduced showed on the
first count that four ballots were
thrown out, being voted double first
choice for governor, but on the re-
count that twenty-seven ballots were
found in this condition.

Declines of g.; point were registered by Mexican Pe- with points for Airbrake, while other specialties lost material frac- tions together with United States Steel, Reading and St. Paul. Moderate gains were made by Beet Sugar, In spiration Copper and WilIys-Overland. Heaviness became more general later. Petroleum extending it's 1osss to almost three points.

Mexican Petroleum was the weakest stock, declining a1- most three points with full point for American Smelling. Among war is- sues Airbrake, Baldwin Locomotive, Crucible Steel, and Westinghouse re- ceded | to ? points with similar de- clines in motors and obscure mining shares. St. Paul, Reading, Lehigh Valley, Illinois Central and Seaboard Airline averaged one point losses with more moderate declines in United States steel and the metal group.

 As a result of prompter movement of New Eng1and's freight, the New Haven road has over the past two months been accomplishing some re- duction in the tribute payable to other railroads for equipment rental, but the ability of New England to unload freight cars still seems to be far be- low the buying ability of it's mer- chants.
