531 w. Fifth Street, Thomas A. Gal
lagher, candidate for presiding
judge of the Municipal Court Of
Cincinnati, in the coming election on
November 2, 1897, addressed
group Of supporters. Mr.. Gallagher
said in part:
The Municipal Court of Cincin-
natl, as now constituted, consists Of
seven divisions, there being one
judge for each division. The police
court and traffic court, both located
in the City Hall, are two of these
divisions. In the Court House are
FIVE civil divisions, one of which Is
for jury trials. The divisions re-
man the same but the judges rotate,
that is every three months the Judges
move on to another division, so that
in the course Of twenty-one months
Judge makes the whole circuit.
ssThe Municipal Court, in sense,
IL the poor mans court because the
jurisdiction is only up to 100000.
In all crimes, this court may dismiss
but in the case Of felonies t cannot
convict; in the latter cases II may
bind over to the grand jury.
"a judge occupies the highest po-
sition Of trust that the people can
confer because in a judges hands
are placed for disposition the great
est Of human possessions, namely
life, liberty and property
Mr.. Gallagher was enthusiastically
| received.

New York, March 26.--(UP)- Stocks declined early in the week just ended and then rallied in the lightest trading of the year.
 Traders were swayed almost en- tirely by the Chrysier strike situa- ton. They sold stocks when it was indicated early in the week that the strike would be a long drawn out affair. Later when prospects of quick settlement were apparent prices advanced in all sections of the list.
 The net result for the week was a small advance in the industrial average and moderate declines in the railroad and utility averages.
 Steel shares made sharp recov- cries sereis on the report of the American Iron & Steel Institute showing another gain it1 steel out- put. The actual outturn of steel is at the highest level in history for this period. U. s. Steel made small gain on the week. So did Bethlehem. Youngstown lost trifle.
 Railroad stocks were depressed rather sharply and failed to recover all the losses. They were down to more than 2 points at the end of the week. Carloadings were higher on major roads but net operating income for the first two months for many of the leading roads showed declines as compared with a year ago.
 Automobile production made a slight gain as compared with a week ago thanks to a sharp rise in General Motors output. Automobile shares were depressed for time and they failed to recover all the losses despite a substantial gain on Wednesday on outlook for an early settlement of the strike. They slipped off in the Thursday session.
 Utility shares continued to drift lower and several of the issues made new lows for the year. The net re- suit for the period ended today showed declines ranging to a point. Utility company earnings are still

 The Reale and Szteba team ex- pect to appear in the statewide CCC entertainment to be given at the Women's Club of Hartford on the evening of March 4, and in the opinion of those who say their act at the Palace, Tuesday, they should stand a good chance of winning the silver loving cup offered as first prize.
 The Leaders Club of Camp Con- ner sponsored a highly successful dance given Thursday evening in the Warren Memorial hall at Staf- ford Springs. Music was fur nished by Paul Phillips and his "Playboys Orchestra" and the 137 light-hearted eco enrollees danced until the wee hours of the morn- ing with their fair partners who came from all surrounding towns. George Robinson of Willimantic, senior leader, was in charge of the affair, assisted by Charles McClue of New London, as master of cere- monies.
 The forestry demonstration plots which are being laid out and worked on by the eco through the coopera- tion of local woodlot owners, the State Foresters, and the Extension Foresters, are creating keen local in- terest in correct forest practice.
 Jerome O. Maher, camp superin- tendent, attended a meeting of local owners of woodland, which was held February "A, in Ellington. About forty property owners were shown hte demonstration work which has so far been conducted. Areas of sam- pie weeding of Scotch and White Pine and examples of hardwood wedding and thinning were in- spected and studied. The questions asked and the discussions which were encouraged, signified that the work was well worth while. The relatively small public owner ship of forest land in Connecticut in contrast to the tremendous areas of land owned by thousands of in- terested and disinterested private owners makes this field of extension work of great importance. Our problems is liquidation of our forest crops without regard to the future" or regulated cuttings for perpetual returns" The major ity of private owners have in the past liquidated, to the extent that with the present high taxes and no returns from their forest land com ing in, have found, and are finding, their land burdensome.
 This extension work being con- ducted by the camps may prove il- strumental in erecting forestry minded people.

making good showing as compared with recent years.
 Chemical issues were strong eX- cept Du Pont which had a weak market early in the week. It came back but failed to make up all the loss. Allied Chemical registered a net gain of points for the period ended Thursday night. Union Carr bide gained on favorable earnings report.
 As the season approached for higher gasoline consumptoin, the oil company shares experienced a bet- ter market. They gained only small amounts, however, and volume was not large enough to insure a large following. Crude oil output was at a record high.
 Resumption of buying of non- ferrous metals by munitions makers sent prices of those commodities soaring again. As a result there was a better market for the shares ill the nonferrous metal category. The coppers, depressed early in the week made substantial comeback. Some of them scored net gains on the week.
