Changes attendant on tine opening were
insignificant, but soon after the opening
there were general recessons in the in
dustrial list averaging about a point and
extending to two points in some stocks.
Shipping Shares Prominent.
As usual when weakness develops, sup
port was forthcoming and the record was

The shipping shares were quite prom

the early weakness. Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies lost u and recovered 1A

The bulk of the days trading was in
the leading shares, many OF the less
important stocks being little better

Market Moves Slowly.
The market continued unusually quiet
and slow during the two hours from IL
to 2 o'clock. Prices were not far from
the low, but there seemed to be no dis
position on the part of bear traders to
push for the advantage.
The rails were inclined to firmness in
the early trading. but moved more slowly
as the session advanced and without spe-
cial change in values.
Steel yielded again, and again it rose
around 1041a. Beet Sugar was easier
and Rubber and American Car Foundry

The chances were for less than a to-

CHICAGO. February 9.-Considerable
strength developed in the wheat market
today, owing largely to settlement of a

crop damage complaints from Nebraska

The opening, which ranged from II
1851 to 1.69k and July at 1.46A, was
followed by decided gains all around
but then a material reaction.
Corn, like wheat, had a noticeable up
ward slant. Country offerings remain

bullish. After opening u off to "a up

RUSH TO
HIRE G.
DOBIE
Football Mentor Besieged
With Offers Since Quit
ting Washington

Seattle. Wash. Jan. Hardy had
the word gone forth that Gilmour
Dobie, hero of eleven years of football
coaching without a defeat. had quit
the University of Washington than the
rush to secure his services for the
coming season commenced. Five ten
tative offers, one specific, have been
received by the tall, uncompromising
and aggressive Scot.
Will he accept one of them?
That Is difficult question to an
swer. Dobie himself has not given the
matter serious consideration, as he is
care-free for the first time in eleven
years, and is thoroughly enjoying the
sensation.
The specific" offer, previously re-.
ferred to, carried with it salary of
$1,000, which is a considerably larger
amount than Dobie received from the
University of Washington, but the
duties called for are more extensive.
His title would be that of director of
athletics, and he would have to direct
the development of the baseball and
basketball teams as well as the foot
ball eleven. The work would cover a
period of approximately nine months.
whereas at Washington it was only
three. H..
Dobie refuses to give the name of
the college that has offered him $4,000,
but from inside sources, it is learned
that it was outside the Pacific Coast
College conference.
Most of the letters received by
Dobie were along the line of inquir-
les as to whether he would coach next
fall and if he would consider an Of
fer.
Quit Year Ago.
year ago Dobie felt that the time
had come for him to drop out of ath-
letics and take up some other line of
work. He not only resigned. but dis
covered c. ]. Hunt of Carleton college,
Minnesota, who has been offered the
coaching job at Washington for 1917.
How President Henry Suzzallo and
prominent members of Washington
alumni finally prevailed upon Dobie
to return to Washington is a matter
of history. This year he feels, even
stronger than he did in 1916, that the
time has come for him to get down
to work-work of a different kind.
1t naturally would be supposed that
Dobie would take up the practice OF
law, as he has had such training. 1t
is a 10-to-1 shot, however, that he
will follow some other line. To
brush" up on law would take some
time, and then again three good busi>
ness openings are before him.

ruling sustaining such questions was

8. In a homicide case, the following
instruction was given: "Circumstan-
tial evidence alone is enough to sup
port the verdict of guilty OF any
crime, providing the jury believe be-
yond a reasonable doubt that the ac-
cused is guilty under the evidence. No
greater degree Of certainty in proof is
required where the evidence is all cir

for in either case the jury must be

by you the same as evidence Of direct

light of actual results. ALI evidence

statements Of witnesses, all conclu-
sions Of jurors, are the results of in

tinction between circumstantial and

such instruction constituted prejudi-

opinion.
