STOCK MARKET

New York, June disappearing
orders checked the further general
decline of prices at the opening of
today's stock market, but hte tone
was very feverish and unsettled. Raj
lies of one to almost two points in
domestic and foreign oils, American
Smelling, Union Pacifi cand Cocoa
were offset by further reactions of l
to 25-8 points in Vanadium, Chan
dler, Sumtra Tobacco, Stromberg
Carburetor and several of the miscel-
laneous issues. The "merger" steels
were Instant, Republic advancing l
point, while Midvale reached that
much. Shippings were under further
pressure, Mercantile Marine PREFER
ed falling 1-2 points. Foreign ex-
changes reflected nervous conditions
abroad, with greater weakness in
Austrian exchange on tn eclosing of
the bourse in that city.

PALS LOSE SECOND.
GAME TO WILD CAT
SQUAD SANEsC0R

The hitting slump which struck the
Pals several days before they left
for Ocala is continuing, according to
Yesterdays score in the Brick City
when they lost the second game to
the Wild Cats by score of A to l..
The surprise at these two losses was
no greater in Palatka than in other
cections of the state where the almost
,unbroken record made by the Pals
has created such comment.
Results of these two games, how
ever, should be taken as the fortunes
Of baseball. The ever present hazard
is what makes the game popular, and
the strongest club is sometimes de-
feated by the weakest in league in
successive games.
No club in the state, including those
in the state league, show better hit
ting records than the local club, and
with its superb outfeld and fast in
field, and an incompatible backstop,
with a pitching staff that has been
going good, fans can be very certain
that the club will be back on its stride
in few days and will, no doubt,
avenge the two games dropped to the
Wild Cats. Today the Pals are play
ing in Leesburg. Yesterdays score:

Gold Knives Used to Carve sacrifices


At Chiehen-itza, in Yucatan, where
there Is sacred sinking well, there
has been found all sorts of beautiful
sacrifices imbedded in the mud. Jade
necklaces, gold plates and small jars
heavily studded with jade, sometimes
containing human hearts, have been
found in this well. The Maya Indians
made these sacrifices when they want
ed rain or blessing for their crops.
Beautiful gold knives that were I'M
doubtedly used to carve up the victims
of sacrifice, usually young women,
have also been found.
The Maya Indians of northern Yu-
catan probably use the same language
as the builders of the ruins among
which they live, says Prof. A. M. Toz-
ger, of Harvard university.

Big Sugar Trust
Is Attacked for
Being a Combine
(By Associated Pressl

New York, May I0-Federal Judges
Rogers, Hough and Manton yesterday
filed a dissolution order against the
American Sugar Refining Company
and other corporate and individual
defendants in the governments Sher-
man lawsuit begun twelve years ago.
During the twelve year wait, caused
in large part by a decision to await
rulings of the United States supreme
court in the steel and harvester trust
cases, the defendant corporations in
the sugar trust case have abandoned
their combination and conspiracy to
restrain trade and commerce, and to
monopolize the business of manufac-
turing and dealing in refined sugar"
said the decree. ..e.
The Judge sitting as an expedition
court, held, however, that at the time
testimony in the case was heard,
enough of the allegations in the gov
ernment petition were proved to en-
title it to a dissolution order.

JURY IS INVESTIGATING
(Bx Associated Press)

Tampa, May 1O-Sherltt VIII u.
Spenler is back from Tallahassee,
where he went to present his defense
to the governor against the charges
made by citizens committee Of 22
men who, some two weeks ago, filed
affidavits and reports alleging that
the sheriff fails to suppress gambling
in this county.
The sheriff returned still in possess
sion of his job, and no hint has come
from Tallahassee as to whether, the
governor will suspend him or allow
him to continue in charge Of law en-
forcement in this county.
Meanwhile, the circuit court grand
jury, which was convened Friday, has
summoned a number of citizens whose
names appear as witnesses against
the sheriff and the solicitor in afflda-
Wits sent to the governor, and presu-
mably the grand jury intends to prove
the charges. 49,.
Several years ago, when sheritI
Spencer was serving his first term as
sheriff, a grand jury probed similar
charges and recommended to the then
governor, Park Trammell, that spen-
Ger be suspended. Trammell suspen-
ded him. The legislature was in ses-
sion and Spencer Immediately carried
his case to the state senate and that
body refused to sustain the suspeh-
sion. When Sjencer's term of office
expired he was succeeded by A. D.
White, who defeated him in the pri-
mary. Four years later Spencer ue-
feated White in the primary.

the 127th anniversary of the conven-
ing here of the second continental
congress, which unanimously elected
George Washington commander-in-
chief of all the armies raised or to be
raised for the defense of American
liberty. The session was also mark

King George III, the rejection Of

choice was left to the colonists but
submission or resistance.
The election of Washington as
commander-in- was moved by
Thomas johnson, of Maryland, and
urged by John Adams, of Massachu-
setts. Washington, himself, was a
delegate to this congress.
The petition to the king was car

WORE MORNING ROBE

Spencer, Ohio, May I0.-Fifty-
seven years ago today Jefferson Da-
Wis, president of the confederate
states, was taken prisoner by the
Fourth Michigan cavalry in an early
morning surprise near 1rwinsville,
Georgia.
Today, Thomas Mile Hunter, 73
years old, veteran of 73 civil war en-
gagements, sat in an old armchair
on the front porch of his country
home two miles from here and re-
counted "reminiscences of thaM tragic
period. He says he is one of the two
survivors of the Fourth Michigan
present at the capture.
The president of the confederacy
was not attired in feminine apparel
when the Michigan troopers sur
rounded his little encampment, as
serts Veteran Hunter, historical
statements to the contrary notwith-
standing.
"He wore a gentleman's morning
robe over his regular Clothes" said
the aged soldier. "On his head was
an old striped bonnet. He did not
have on any woman's belongings
There wasn't even any strings on his
bonnet. He was man sure enough u
The Michigan troopers, 419 OF
them, with ten officers, were pre-
pairing for rest after three days and
nights of marching from Macon, Sol,
der Hunter said, when they spied a
little camp secluded amidst cluster
of saplings. An advance guard was
sent on, few shots were fired, the
entire regiment swooped down, and
the camp was taken.
jefferson Davis, his wife and foul
children; John H. Regan, his post
master general; a staff of aides
