 HANDSOME BARMAl
Commission Appointed to q
 Sider Taking Over Businesd

London, July 3.-The governnj clearly showed it's hand yesterday indicated a disposition to esta blis1 government monopoly of liquor trd and manufacture by appointing c1 missions to investigate and report the subject.
 The instructions to the commissil one each for Ireland, Scotland, sE land and Wales, say:
 ''The government, being of opinion that it may be necesS shortly, as an urgent war measurel assume control of the supply t| manufacture of intoxicating Hql during the war, and as such con| involves the purchase after the wal the interests involved, you are he'd to appoint commission to inQt and report on the terms upon WI the interests should be acquired the financial arrangements WI should be made.
 The announcement of such a gram is especially disappointing the liquor interests, which until last hoped the government might satisfied to assume control during war and then retore old conditi. Instead, the government commits self to immediate control and chase after the war, which if car out, would end the hope of re-es fishing the liquor industry as an dependent affair.
 The general belief is that sue program would open the way fq temperance agitation which WI shortly make the kingdom dry, fo soon as the government assumes trol of the business it would be possible for it to employ great sl of money in politics and propaga as heretofore.

GILLIGAN TRIAL
 ON ITS THIRD WEEK
Testimony Taken in Case of
 Charles A. Smith

Hartford, July 3.-Old age and epi- lepsy were the causes of death of Charles A. Smith at the Archer Home for Elderly People in Windsor, April g, 1914, according to the death certi- f1cate signed by Dr. H. F. King, med ical examiner, and introduced today in the trial of Mrs. Amy E. Archer Gilligan charged with the murder of Franklin R.. Andrews by arsenic and accused by the state with poisoning MT. Smith, Mrs. Alice Gowdy and the accused's second husband, Michael Gilligan.
 The trial entered upon it's third week today and Judge Gardiner Greene has decided to hold court to- morrow, the Fourth of July although Benedict M. Holden, chief counsel for the defence, is supposed to be in Bridgeport as one of the members of the military emergency board of the state at a review of the Fourth Regi- ment, Connecticut Home Guard. T shall be right here at the Gilligan trial" MT. Holden said today.
 In connection with the alleged mur- der of Andrews on May 30. 1914, the state is going into three other alleged poisons at the Archer Home and reached the case of MT. Smith today. The medical experts for the defence were not in court today so evidence of the autopsy was lot gone into.
 James A. Smith of Windsor, a nephew of Smith, testified today that his uncle was originally in good health, although when he saw him six weeks before his death he ap- peared to be failing. Smith died on Good Friday, 1914. His uncle, the witness said, on one of his last visits to the home, had given him his con- tract for life care at the home. This contract, put in evidence by the state today, was dated as effective October 1, 1913. According to testimony last week Smith entered the home in September, 1912, and in December of that year went to Waterbury, accom- panied by Mrs. Gilligan, and drew his money from savings bank, turning it over to Mrs. Gilligan. Relatives informed of this later were given to understand that Smith had done this for the purpose of making a life care contract with the accused.
 Witness testified further that the mental condition of his uncle was good and he was 8 remarkably well preserved man.
 Women thronged the court room today in greater numbers than on any previous days. Mrs. Gilligan ap- peared much more vigorous than at any time since the trial began two weeks ago and at times chatted an- imated1y with her daughter, who met her in the court room.

MARKET CONTINUES
 FALL THROUGH DAY
Slight Rally at Noon Followed
 by ReCeSsions

Wall Street.-Leaders were under further pressure at the opening of todays stock market, the movements also embracing many special and minor issues. U. S. Steel was the only stock to change hands in more than ordinary amounts, 4,000 shares being offered at an extreme loss of one- half a point. Atlantic Gulf and West Indies, Stakeholder, and Central Leather yielded large fra ctions to over a point. Rails were rather mixed, fractional recessions in coalers and Louisville and Nashville being balanced by equal issues in Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio. The market became more irregular before the end of the first half hour.
 The activity of the morning was featured by a succession of rallies and fresh declines. Many important stocks fell to lowest quotation of the movement. Chief among these were U. s. Steel, Bethlehem, Crucible and LackaWanna Steels, Union Pacific, Reading, Baltimore and Ohio, the prominent metals and American Sugar. From surface indications the setback was mainly caused by short selling and lack of public interest. Baldwin Locomotive Republic Iron Mexican Petroleum were almost the only strong features. Pronounced inn provement was shown under lead of equipments and coppers. Bonds were irregular, Liberty L-2 holding firm al par to a premium.
 Stocks became unsettled again in the early afternoon when the motor. group reacted ? to points, Stude- baker being the weakest issue. Rep- resentatlve shares, including rails, forfeited the greater part of their midday rally.
 Closing-Substan improvement in rails featured the dull final hour. The closing was firm. Liberty bonds were firm throughout. Sales ap- proximated 550,000 shares.
