 steady.
 Business news was favorable. A long list of leading executives were ca utiously optimistic over 1885
 prospects in statements made for
 United Press survey. Dun &
 Bradstreet estimated retail trade
 for 1884 IS to 20 per cent above
 1883 and indicated that some mail
 order houses would have the best
 year in their history. Secretary of
 Commerce Roper told the United
 Press the administration and big
 business were making progress In cooperation and predicted better
 business in 1885.
 The advance in stocks was over a broad front. Impressive leader ship was noted. Gains ranged to more than 3 points. Automobile is- sues were favorites in the morn ing. They extended gains later. Steels were bid up on prospects for

 Whatever structure you have" Roper said. 'it ultimately must it on business, or else, you have to go to socialism. But I have no fear for our government if the people are given thorough know ledge of the problems in which we are involved and the sincerity of their leaders in solving them.
 "Thef past three months have been encouraging from the stand. poiat of cooperation between busi- ness and government. The meet ing here of the American Bank ers' association in October initi- ated an interesting psychology in that direction.
 The next step was my address before the National Association of Manufacturers in New York. The response to that address was en- 'couraging to me because I found the industrialists, gathered there were impressed by the points made"
 The secretary referred to his summary of major problems con fronting the nation: .
 1.-Discharging the federal gov ernment as, quickly as possible of the responsibilities of human re- lief.
 2. Development of public works plan for projects of gem erai utility without encroaching on private initiative
 3. Provision for unemployment insurance which would not peno- lize business.

LAMSON To ASK
FORFREEDON

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 80 U.N.SO.
Replete again with suspense and
uncertainty, the reigning legal
drama of the west-David A.
Lamson VS.. the State of Cali
fornia-was slated for another
appearance here today.
Lamson, the young Stanford
University publishing house execu-
tive, was to appear in the Superior
Court of Judge R. r. Syer, who
once sentenced him to hang for
the sensational "bathtub murder"
of his pretty wife, Allene, in con-
tinuation of his efforts to obtain
freedom.
Saved from teh gallows when the
State Supreme Court reversed his
conviction, the college man,
through attorneys. prepared his
battle along two lines.
The lawyers, Edwin Mckenzie,
of San Francisco, and E. M. Rea,
of San Jose, were first to argue
the defense motion that the
charges should be dismissed.
In event of Illustration on this
score, they we're to drop back to
their second contention that Lam
son should be admitted to bail.
Mckenzie said he would ask
Judge Syer to forever erase Lam
sons name from the list of &C.
cused men because the State has
no new evidence and it would be
fruitless to try him again.
