All the so-called Yan Sweringen stocks broke through their previ high levels. and good buying wi also noted in the oil, motor, public utilities and merchandising issues. Sales approximated 1,200,000 shares. 1.—Prospects ment being reached at the London reparations confer- enee had 4 bullish effect on senti- ment at the opening of today's stock market. Buying orders were again spread over a broad list with an ex- eeptionally good demand noted for the rails and motors. Atlantie Coast Line moved up 1 point to a new 1924 top and 1386 and Houston Qil ad- vaneed 114. Prices continued to surge upward during the morning despite a rather large volume of; week-end profit taking in various sections of the list. Steady accumulation of . the railroad shares resulted in additional new 1924 high records being reached by Pittsburg and West Virginia, Western Maryland, Guif, Mobile and Northern Preferred, Chicago and Northwestern and Peorla and Bast- ern Illinois. Speculative belief that United States Steel Common had definitely been placed on a seven per cent basis by the declaration of three extra dividends of 50 cents, the Jast in a period of depression, brought fresh buying into that stock and sent it up to $1.08% or within @ fraction of the year's top established early in the year, Revival of speculative activity in the oils featured the early afternoon trading, Philipps Petroleum, Mara- caibo and Pacific all selling a point er more above yesterday's closing prices. United Frult jumped more than 10 points to 221 ant aneel Electric climbed 4.3-4 to a record high for all time at 264%. The closing was irregular. Heavy Selling of the sugar shares in the late trading brought about reces- sions of 1 to 2% points in Ameri, can Sugar Refining, Cuba Cane Preferred and Punta Alegre, Bull- ish demonstration took place, how- ever, in the ol} and rubber issues. COMPLICATIONS se/ARE RAISED IN WAR ON BOOZE Coast Agents Forced To Take Notice of Highjackers. By L, ©. OWEN (Staff Correspondent of The Casper Tribune.) (Copyright 1924, Consolidated Press Association) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1,—Prohi- bition enforcement agents assigned to guard this particular section of tHe Pacific coast from illicit Nquor importations are just now in the strangely anomlous position of de- fending violators of the Volstead law with sawed off shot guns. In the same situation there also has been found an entirely new, but very effective way of enforcing the eighteenth amendment, to wit, the activities of a desperate band of highjackers who, in the past week, have swooped down upon five liquor smuggling expeditions, shot three al- leged bootleggers and carried off ap- Proximately 2,500 cases of specially “Imported” Scotch, In_ their brief week ef operations, the highjackers have spread pande- monium among the entire bootleg- ging fraternity and accomplished more than a hundred prohibition en- forcement sleuths have been able to do in several years. The shot gun activities of the dry agents which have just been ordered are not particularly directed toward protection of the persecuted boot- leggers, but they are working out that way just the same. Highjack- ers, it develops, have been interfer ing with well planned raid of the sleuths, As a result all dry agents have been armed with. shot guns loaded with buckshot and given or- ders to shoot first and investigate afterwards whenever they encounter highjackers. The same orders, but with a cautionary note to little more careful, have been issued re- garding bonafide bootleggers who offer armed opposition to the same agents. The highjackers who prohibition Officials believe were imported from the ‘east by one faction in a price war between rival liquor rings, first made their appearance early last Thursday near Half Moon Bay, the favorite landing place for liquor from the-rum ‘ships off shore. Considerable mystery surrounds the first raid. When the smoke of battle cleared away, however, big Joe Fecris, alleged king of one fac- tion Of the local bootleggers, was found mortally wounded and three truckloads of Scotch missing. With- in 4 bours, another Uquor smuggling expedition was held up, a second bootlegger shot and two more truck loads of liquor. driven away. Since then, information regarding three other highjacker raids, simil- arly fruitful and involving the shoot- Barly Selling Offset by Re- sumption of Buying In Late Trading CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—General! sell- ing due largely to bearish private estimates of the 1924 domestic wheat crop did a geod deal to make the wheat market average lower in price today during the early deal- ings. Increased hedging sales of newly harvested wheat counted also as a bearish factor. On the declines, hhoweyer, buying enlarged, and brought about rallies. The opening, which ranged from sc off to %e Up with September $1.32% to $1.38 and December $1.36 to $1.36%, were followed by a decline of nearly 2 cents in some eases and then by a recovery to within a fraction of yesterday's finish., e Subsequently, foreigners and com- mission houses were active buyers on breaks in price and resumption of black rust reports from both north and south of the Canadian boun- dary together with corn strength here led to sharp rallies. Aggres- sive selling though on bulges en- sued. The close was heavy, 1% to 2 1-8¢ net lower, September $1.30% to 1.80% and December $1.34 1-8 to 1.34%. Persistent buying on the part of a leading trader gave strength to the corn market. After opening unchanged to %o higher, December 97% to 97%0c, prices sagged a little and then scored material gains, espe- clally the September delivery.

The field opened Ly woflay’s find'ng was more exten sive than in casey which bordered it “It {s the court's duty to hear this evidence,” said Judge Caverly. ‘It is not his duty to reject before he had an opportunity to hear it. “The objection by the state is over-ruled." Immediate: Dr. William A. White, alienist from Woshington D.. C., took the stand and stated his professional the Canneetions, stage where his testimony was in terrupted Wednesday. Early in Dr. White's testimony Mr, Crowe blocked efforts to bring in speculative opinions as to the influence of home environment, Judge Caverly ruled that the wit ness might anawer only as to what he had learned about the defendants but allowed him to state the rela “ve importance of such conditions “They are highly important,” said Dr. White. ST ARGUMENT SUMED BY ATTORNEYS. CHICAGO, Aug, 1,—(By The As sociated Press.\—More arguments on the admissibility of the testimony of alienists in the proceedings which are to determine the punishment of Nathan Leopold, and Richard Loeb, for the murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks, were in prospect When court opened today. Walter Bachrach of defense coun. sel, Was due to finish his analys! of cases offered by the state in its effort to bar from the record refer- ence to the mental state of the de. fendants. He had a dozen or more such cases to discuss, Robert B. Crowe, state's attorney, said this morning that the prosecu tion would certainly reply to Mr. Bachrach's arguments and also to the impassioned plea with which Clarence 8. Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, stirred the court yesterday. The prospect of more vocal pyro- technics, with perhaps a momentous legal ruling by Judge John R. Caverly at their conclusion, préved @ magnet for court fans. The pro longation of the proceedings has only served to increase the interest of the curlosity seekers and this morning the queue of would-be spec: tators formed on the floor below the gourt room hours hefore the doors were opened. A few minutes after that event’ the court balliffs sent word down stairs: “That's all," and those who had arrived later than 8:30 a. m., were out of luck. CASES CITED BY STATE INAPPLICABLE, CHARGE. “We have made an analysis of all the cases cited by the state,” said Mr. Bachrach, “except in one or two inconsequential instances, none of them relating to instances In which mental disease was offered as mitigation of punishment, All were inapplicable to this case. “As this argument has progressed, I have wondered what function there avas in the office of state's attorney that allowed him to fix the punishment of these defendants, “What right has he as an officer of the law to demand what form of punishment should be meted out?” t is in fact, none of his busi- ness. Whether a defendant plea sullty or is convicted by a jury, his function is to inform the court by laying before it all facts in the case. “Were I in his place I would, tn- stead, let my conscience be my guide and were I a judge I would want to know every fact that could be presented from either viewpoint of both state and defense; I would weigh the ponderable as well as the imponderable. “I would lay aside the rules of evidence,” continued Mr. Bachrach. “They don't matter in a situation like this, They don’t matter as a fact of law. “This is not a trial. It 1s a hear- ing for you to determine the punish- ment to be meted out. “It seems a useless thing for us to have to stand here and argue that mental conditfon, like age shall not be considered in mitigation of punishment.” Mr. Crowe followed, saying the igsue before tho court was some- thing for Judge Caverly himself to define. “This is a tremendous case in Illinois,” Mr. Crowe said. Mr. Crowe referred to remarks by Mr. Darrow that he had no right to present evidence in the case after a plea of guilty and by Bachrach that the state's attorney's duties ended with presenting his case, “denying the defense had stated the case correctly. “Yes, the state's attorney is a sworn officer of the law,’ Crowe raid, “but the defense would bar me because they would have this pro ceeding not a law sult at all. “We are roaming around tn dreamland. The state's attorney is entirely at sea as to what is going on here.. ‘These men are men of Intellect, graduates of universities and should be held to strict account- ability for their acts, We should not discuss a cold-blooded murder in. their presence. CROWE TAK AT DARROW 4 ir. Darrqw bas castigated me because when I occupied the place your honor occupies I attempted to follow the law and protect the women and children of the com. munity. I followed the law and gave a man the extreme penalty. I did my duty as according to law.” Judge Caverly looked inquiringly at the attorneys for both sides and finding none wished to argue fur- ther, delivered his decision in a few short sentences. ER SLUMP) TATE LOSES FIGHT ON EVIDENGE of the court's words struck home.
