 LATE THIS P. M,
Testimany Finished This Morning Case Reach
 es Jury Late Today

The trial of Dave T h m S, charged with the murder of Luke Brown, we'll known local Indian, was in it's last stages at midafter- noon today. It was expected the jury would have the case before court adjourned at 5 o'clock.
 The testimony was closed just before Judge Harding adjourned court for the noon recess. An ef- fort by the Government to reopen it at the afternoon session in order to submit some rebuttal testimony failed, Judge Harding denying the motion.
 Arguments in the case began shortly after 2 pm. After the conclusion of these, probably about 5 o'clock, Judge Harding will de- liver his instruction to the jury.
 Thomas, who admitted stabbing Brown in a local cafe early on the morning of May II, last, pleaded self defense. He said his life had been threatened by Brown, who was prizefighter, and that the latter attacked him in a hallway at the restaurant. He said he stabbed Brown in elf-defense.

Girls Death Rate High; Hard Fight
 For Jobs BLan,ed

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 22.- Hectic competitive living" in which young girls, not yet adjusted to postwar conditions, are bat ting with their brothers for jobs" :" was blamed today by Dr. Kendall Emerson of New York for the much heavier death rate among girls from fifteen to twenty-five years of age than among boys of similar ages.
 This life of competition puts such a strain upon girls that they are particularly subject to the rav- ages of tuberculosis. American in- dustries are waking up to the fact that this menace needs a remedy, and are seeking it through the im- provement of labor conditions" Dr. Emerson, managing director of the National Tuberculosis Association, said.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 3.-The bond
market was highly irregular affair
today. Trading was of small proper
tions, with neither sellers nor buyers
displaying much interest. Money rates
were unchanged.
The opening was steady. There was
little new in the overnight develop
ments. The rumors regarding impend-
ing railroad receiverships that char
acterized Wednesdays market were still
receiving some attention, but attempts
to obtain definite information on any
of them proved fruitleSS.
There was a moderate overnight &C
emulation of buying orders in rail-
road bonds. from bargain hunters who
believed the selling had been overdone,
but this was soon absorbed and with
the market virtually bare of bids there
we're some sharp declines in a few is
sues. On the other hand, some rail
bonds scored gains.
Pennsylvania AIS gained a point in
spite of an earnings report showing
nine months net income off more than
80 per cent. New York Central IS,
which mature in three years, were off
3 points to new low, but there were
gains of l to points in the Az and
S per cent refunding issues. Baltimore
& Ohio issues were point or so lower
Great Northern Is recovered an open
ing loss. Northern Pacific issues were
steady.
In the Junior rails there were some
large losses and some fairly large ad-
vances. Rock Island convertible 4l2s
recovered 4 points of the 1872 lost We'd
nesday. while the 4 l2s of 1852 were off
6 points. Erie refunding 5s lost 3
points, but Erie consolidated As we're

ments dropped points. Missouri-Pa-
cific SIS we're little changed. except the
H" series, which lost points st.
Louis & San Francisco issues showed a
firmer tendency. Wabash AIS were off
a point, but others of the roads obli-
cations were firm. Allegheny Corpora
tion SIS were steady.
Bonds, both foreign and domestic,
were steady at the opening.
In the rails there was a siZable over
night accumulation of buying orders
from traders who believed that We'd

This served to absorb rather heavy Of
