tiers actual and material; to
promote order, and not to
hinder it by excessive theOriz-
ing or magnifying what in prac-
tice is not really important"
Couldn't See Reason
Justice McReynolds, in arguing
that the District Court judgment
should be affirmed, said:
"TwO local courts could not
conclude that there was ade-
quate reason for holding the
accused men had suffered dep
rivation of any substantial
rate through refusal by the
trial judge to ask prospective
jurors something relative to
racial prejudice. And certainly
1 am unable to affirm that
they were wrong"
Chief Justice Hughes, in the
opinion of the court, speaking Of
the request of counsel that pros
pective jurors be questioned on
racial prejudice, said:
"The prOpriety of such an
inquiry has been generally rec
Ognized.
Fairness Demands 1t
"The practice of permitting
questions as to racial prejudice
is not confined to any section
of the country and this fact
attests the widespread senti-
ment that fairness demands
that such inquiries be allowed"

NEAR ARREST,
SAY POLICE
Five-and-T Ten Store Girl Left
Note Which Gives Police
a Hot Clue to Hangman

lIOk OlNN W iloIISIIIoI'
SAN DIEGO, Calf, April 20
S0.-Reported to be in pos
session of mystery note written
by Louise Teuber, who was hanged
by attackers on Black Mountain,
the sheriff's office today indicated
an arrest Of a murder suspect was
imminent.
Sheriff's deputies refused to dis
close the contents of the dead
girls last note.
20 Witnesses QuiZzed
More than 20 witnesses we're be
ing questioned by detectives while
the cOrOner's autopsy was in
progress to determine the cause
Of death.
Despite developments authori-
ties today were faced with an
other ghastly mystery, even more
outrageous in a sense than the
unsolved Staying Of Virginia
Brooks, the 11-year-old school girl
who was kidnapped, attacked and
murdered.
This one developed through the
discovery of the nearly nude body
of the pretty 17-year-Old 5-and1O
cent store clerk, dangling at the
end of a 15-fOOt rope slung across
a tree limb in a lonely spot nine
miles east of here yesterday.
Found BY Picnickers
The moose that strangled her
was a double half-hitch, tied by
some one versed in nautical knots,
possibly a sailor. The other end
of the rope was fastened to the
base of a tree 20 feet away from
the one on which she hung.
The possible theory that the
girl had been strangled, then
hoisted at a ropes end to make
it appear she had committed
suicide was being worked on by
authorities.
Clad only in black pumps and
silk stockings, the girls body was
found by a picnic party, consist
ing of Tomasa Mar Tinez and his
family.
Quit Job Saturday
Myretta Paris, a close friend
of the girl, located by police
through letters found in hand
bag near the scene, today told
authorities:
Louise quit her job Satur-
day night at the end of bust
ness and said to me: I'm going
away from the city, but not
for very long. You'll be sure
to hear from me within two
or three weeks at the latest
Miss Paris stated that Louise
did not tell her where or with
whom she was going.
StreWn about the little glade,
the girls outer clothing was
found, and also a package con-
tanning a braSsiere and a pair
of silk stockings.
While securing about the hang
ing scene, deputy sheriffs found
a car that had been stolen Sat
urday night from in front of a
San Diego home.
Fingerprints Sought
Fingerprint experts today we're
to make an inspection of the
machine for clues that might pos
sibly lead to the identity of the
driver.
The girl, whose father is
barber shop proprietor, was said
to be extremely popular and had
many admirers.

 The shivering little tots fought braveiy against tears, a.s they lift ed tllsir wan faces to that of their mother.

 Wait, we tie it up snug, so," said rzzy fishing shoelace from his vest button holes and tying the package securely.
 As the mother retraced her steps toward home, the Salvation Army Santa, standing beside his Christ mos pot, intoned:

 Ryan gripped lazy by the hand. Neither spoke.

 "Yes, dear; great big g-hearted Santa Claus"

 It was Christmas eve. The streets were pulsating with an eddying stream of late shoppers those who had waited for paydays before nlak- ing their Christmas purchases, and who took advantage of the last hours to snatch up bargains.
 Although he had spent months in the Ghetto, Izzy had few inti- mates. The stamp of his prior thraldom was too indelibly inn printed upon his externaIs to allow of his nlingling as an equal. Hence he felt very much alone as he stood observing the throng and mingled misery and enthusiasm.
 A woman, holding the hand of a boy of 10, who in turn towed along two others, whose stubby legs re- tarded and hindered their progress, rubbed against him. AS she pass cd he made 9 quick appraisal. The boys toes protruded from his worn shoes, and the little hand clinging to his was blue with cold, while the gaunt bodies showed unnit- igeable evidence of under nour- ishment. He had seen this many times during the Red Terror, and knew it's purport.
 Beneath her arm the mother en- deavored to hold intact a number of small parcels. It was difficult the ragged shawl fluttered and Tapped in the brisk wind. A few steps beyond where Izzy stood, a small package slipped to the side walk. In an instant he was upon it. Drawing into a doorway, he opened the paper sack and peered in. It contained 8 pound or more of taffy kisses, wrapped in paraf fin paper.
 Other eyes had seen the package fall They belonged to Jerry Ryan, on plain clothes duty. Approach ing lazy, Ryan's hand was raised to clamp down upon the thief's shoulder, when it was rested by something which gripped his at- tention. AS each little piece of candy was lifted from the sack, its wrapper was replaced by one of green. Possibly 3 dozen had been transformed when Ryan heard a commotion at his elbow.

NEW PEAK SEEN
FOR STOCKSBY
SPECTATOR
Successful Onslaught Easy,
Says Expert, and Probably
Will Be Led by Railways
Rx THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE
market apparently is primed to
make a new onslaught on the
peak levels established in last
weeks comeback, and from the
present look of things this should
not be difficult to accomplish.
Using the Dow-Jones industrial
averages as a base, stocks moved
ahead almost 4 points in yester.
days session, bringing the stand
ing of the market within points
Of the october highs. Many criti-
cal observers are withholding their
comments on the near term out
look pending success or failure in
clearing this barrier.
However. the concensus Of in.
formed opinion is that unless
some Unexpectedly unfavorable
news development takes place,
the market should enter new
high ground on the recovery
early in the coming week.
ApropoS, the current advance
in the rediscount rate, there is
considerable school of thought
which holds to the belief that
this is of the utmost Importance
in it's influence upon the general
business situation

HEAVY SALES ON CLOTH

NEW YORK. Oct. II 1N.So.
Lack of any disposition on the
part of buyers to meet price adj
vances led to turning down con-
siderable volume of business in
some print cloth numbers today.
A check-up of the weeks business
in print cloths showed that more
than 5OOO0,00O yards, amounting
to 100000 pieces of goods, were
disposed of in this period. The
heavy sale of goods gave mills en-
couragement to keep prices at cur
rent levels, despite bids at Is cent
under some constructions. The
matter at the moment seemed to
have settled into a battle of en-
durance on the part of mills and
buyers, neither being disposed to
meet the others prices on certain
numbers. Continued strength in
raw cotton gave the mills addi-
tional support, and this. taken
with the sales during the past
week or more. was made the basis
of a firm stand, which in many
centers it was felt would hold
despite lower bids.

SELLING
ON EXCHANGE
DEFENDED
Whitney Gives Out Figures
Showing Interest Is Small
and Is Check on Corners

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. II
U.N.S0 0.-Business leaders today
discussed the d:fense of the re-
cent two days suspension Of short
selling made here by Richard
Whitney, president Of the New
York Stock Exchange.
Speaking last night before the
Hartford Chamber of Commerce,
Whitney generally defended short
selling and said it had not caused
the decline in security prices. He
justified the suspension of short
selling last month only as an
emergency measure.
Short Interest Trifling
Whitney revealed for the first
time the results of the Stock Ex
changes latest inquiry with re.
spect to the outstanding snort in.
terest. On May 25, 1881, the short
interest amounted to 5,539 900
shares. This fell considerably dur
ing the summer.
It rose to a peak of 4,480,000
shares on September II and de.
clined to 4,241,000 shares Cn Sep.
tember 18. The short interest on
May Is constituted two-fifths Of
per cent of the 1905 5.5l6,716
shares listed as of June and at
the same time brokers were car.
rying 59,000,O 900 shares of stock in
the "long" account.
The governing committee, said
Whitney, rejected the two expedi'
ents of closing the exchange and
establishing minimum prices in
favor of temporary suspension
Of short selling. The result, he
said, completely confirmed the de.
cision of the governing commit.
tee, since share prices rallied on
SEPTEMBER 81 and %. the short
interest decreasing about 1,000,'
600 shares in two days.
Danger of Corners
The ban on short selling, said
Whitney, created a new problem.
Within two hours after short
selling was forbidden the commit.
tee found there was real danger
of technical corners and of crazy
and dangerous price advances.
In order to prevent such wide
fluctuations, the business conduct
committee was authorized to per.
NIT limited short selling under
close supervision.

Liverpool was a little higher
when this market opened and,
while some reports were that a

veloped that orders for Liverpool

WOOL MARKET DULL

STON, Oct. II GN.S)
Only a moderate volume of busi-
ness was transacted in the wool
market during the past week and
the limited movement of wool
was confined relatively to a few
concerns. The strike was respon-
Sible for considerable curtailment
in the wool buying, that the
goods market appeared to offer
little encouragement to the dull
wool market. Domestic Shorn
wool prices, however, were fairly
steady as compared with the
previous week in spite of the
slow trade.

HENRY C. KNODE
DIES AT home
Heart Attack Brings End to
Life.

Realization that his illness would
be fatal led Henry G. Knode, II, Of
1880 Broadway, retired business
man, to plunge from his bed early
today while his nurse was out OF
the room, the resulting injuries
causing his death.
Two weeks ago in New Orleans
Mr.. Knode suffered heart attack
and since then had been under care
of nurses and a specialist.
About d. m. he asked Miss Pearl
Havill, his nurse, for a glass OF
water. Downstairs Miss Havill
heard what she thought was a table
falling and returned to the bedroom
What happened?" she asked.
"Oh, it's all right" Mr.. Knode
answered.
She saw that he had been injured
and summoned the physician. Mr..
Knode died an hour later.
Surviving him are the widow,
Mrs. Martha Frances Knode, and
son, Ralph Knode, of 4116 Ruckle
street.
Mr.. Knode was born in Hagers-
town and came here in 1888, enter
ing business with James Ross &
Co., wholesale liquor dealers. Later
he formed the H. G. Knode Com
pany, of which he was head until
1917, when he retired.
