COUSIN OF LORD FAIRFAX ENDS8 LIFE IN LONDON Coroner s Investigating Death of New Yorker Who Died Under Pecul- | lar Circumstances. | LONDON, May 11—The death of | Howard Cary of New York, who was discovered shot dead In his bed at & Kensington boarding house, is being | investigated by a coroner. Apparent- |1y it was a case of suicide. NEW YORK, May 9.—Howard Cary | sailed from New York three weeks ago. Lord Fairfax, his cousin, with whom he made his home while in London, was a resident of New York city for several years before assum- ing his title. Guy Fairfax Cary, a brother of the Gead man, says he does mot believe Howard ‘committed suicide, since he had ample money when he left here eand was then apparently in the best of health and spirits. ———————— STOCKTON, May 11L—The trial of Mre. Emma Le Doux, charged with the murder in this city March 24 of A. N.

On the 18th the deed | was burned before being recorded. | After the fire, the complaint alleges, | Cluff and Williams refused to turn over the property to Mrs. Crumlich, and| sought to sell it at greatly increased price. Mrs. Crumlich, under the advice {of her attorneys, Peck & Boynton, gained | entrance to the premises and secured a | strategic position. She is now living | | there, practieally a prisoner, being afraid | | to leave for a moment and lose the legal advantage given by possession. | The case is one that is interesting law- yers. The general opinion seems to be that the delivery of the deed caused the | ownership to pass, and that failure to record cannot affect the validity of the sale. STOCK PRICES YET ADVANCIG NEW YORK, May 1L—The stock |market made a further demonstra- [tion of its recuperative ability today In the further striking advances ef- fected in prices of a large number of important stocks. The cunrrent be- lief in the financial district continues | to be that the operations which cause these advances are largely in the hands of professionals or . habitual speculators, formed into market com- binations made up of men of great wealth. Boardroom traders express their distrust of the movement at times and tested its force ,by opposing short sales and by attempts to offer prices down. These efforts to turn the mar- ket were uniformly unsuccessful, and the traders were forced to shift their position to buy back the stocks, thus helping on the advance. Their dis- trust of the rise was based upon the extent it has reached. They professed their skepticism of the capacity of the market to afford profits at the ‘higher level of prices on the spacula- tive accumulations which have been made owing to the light general de- mand for stocks which has shown itself thus far. The action of the market, however, indicates a digestion of profits going on from time to time in the course o? the advance. Thus the stocks which are strong one da are either reaction- ary or held stationary during the next day under the influence of the steady selling, while advances at new points have a steady sustaining influence. The broad underlying basis for the movement is the effective decline in interest rates. This was further evi- denced today in'the rates for call and time loans. The banks have gained apparently several million dollars on the express movement this week with the interior. Foreign exchange rates also eased off today, and it was re- ported that remittances to New York were being made on account of Brit- ish fire insurance companies. It is as- serted by the speculative party In Wall strest that practically the whole volume of fire losses by the British companies yet remains to be remitted and it is expected that these sumsa will remain on deposit in New York for some time before being ultimately distributed to the San Franclsco claimante. Attention was given to reports of the probable fixing of an early date for the resumption of business by the Ban Francisco banks, as the flow of currency from New York is expected to follow soon when the resumption occurs and the demands on deposits are defined. —————— Marriage Licences.
