hard blows. They have even brought

Moreover. these alterations OF per.

suddenness, and from trivial and

civil causes, as well as of every criminal
on trial.
II is the most dangerous because 1t I'M
dermines our whole judicial system and
prevents that certainty of punishment
which is needed TO prevent the commits
sion of other crimes.
While it is proper and necessary 10 re-
quire proof of the crime, there is no rea-
son why conviction should be rendered
practically impossible because of the i'm
possibility Of proving that testimony
which is proven and admitted to be false
was given with criminal intent.
So far as Detroit is concerned, we
might just as well have no law against
perjury.
Because Of the impoSSibility of convict
ing. there are no prosecutions for perjury.
The report of the attorney general for
1916 shows that out of total of nearly
$4,000 prosecutions in Michigan during
the year. only 20 were for perjury, and
only eight persons were convicted for this
crime.
The reports of the attorney general for
the last FIVE years show that only 81 con-
victions for perjury were secured in the
stae during those years.
The Condor bill would remedy this con-
dition.
1t ought 10 secure the support OF all
good citizens. and of prosecuting officers
in particular.
No honest witness who makes false
statement Internationally will be endan-
gered if the Condor bill becomes a law.
But wilful and deliberate perjurers will
hesitate if they know that they have the
burden of proving any false testimony
was given by them in good faith.
The bill reads:
SECTION n sny and all prosecutions and
proceedings hereafter conducted 10 this state for
the crime of perjury II IL be admitted thar the
accused made any false statement under oath or
affirmation. II such fact BE- proven BY doCu-
mentary evidence or transcript OF testimony. or

case be convicted and adjudged guilty OF the
crime Of perjury unless he can prove that such
false Statement MAS made by BIN Without Sany
such guilty intent. and that at the time he made
such statement under oath he verify believed
and had good reason 10 believe, that such false
was true.
In view of the fact that we are about
to attempt the enforcement of prohibi-

The following analysis OF the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by W. B.
Hibbs & Co.. from c. b. Chaplin 4
Co., their New York correspondents:
The publication of a number OF
very disappointing statement of rail-
road earnings. such as for instance
the Pennsylvania and st. Paul, to-
gether with the comparatively high
rates still being demanded for time
loans for short time periods of two
to three months, had a depressing
influence on the general stock mar
ket today.
Scattered liquidation seemed "a
predomiRate in the railroad and cop
per stocks, and this pressure in those
groups caused most of the local trad
ing element who have been operatns
on the bear side of the market since
last Wednesday to put out some
fresh lines OF shorts.
THE conspicuous strength OF Unit
ed States Steel during the day was
explained by rumors of the prob
ability Of per cent extra dividend
being declared payable out of Liberty
Bonds in addition to the regular fixed
rate of Ia per cent for the ensuing
quarter, when the time comes for ac-
ton about November Q. It must be
said the action of the market through

pointment, with this the first day for
starting the campaign for the 5000,

movement for making 1t an assured
| success, however. is not doubted, and

its influence felt on the general mar
