P. Morgan & Co. re- fused to confirm tho report, neither would they flatly deny it. Before making a statement regarding the matter they desired to have a com- plete report of what Mr. Davison was punported to have announced in Lon- don, Following the London despatches, demand sterling rose more than three cents and francs and lire also dis- Played considerable firmness. Not- withstanding the lack of official con- firmation of the report, they main- tained a firm tone throughout the day. Stook prices moved sluggishly, re- fleoting the mixed opinions of traders and the near approach of the double holiday. Most strength was exhibited by oil shares. This group has recently been hammered by professionals be- cause of unpleasant disclosures re- garding the character of some of the newest promotions, But the opinion persists in financial circles that the oi! industry ig in sound condition, that demand for crude oil will continue to exceed supply for a considerable time, and that best-managed com- panies will be able to harvest highly satisfactory profits, Mexican Pe- troleum and Pan-American were leaders of this group, the former at one time showing udvance of more than four points. Caretul study of the railroad bill has convinced the speculative element that the poor roads will fare botter than the rich and powerful systems. That this opinion is shared by execu- tives of big systems is indicated by the fact that they are preparing to wage a legal battle to have the pro- posed ili declared unconstitutional. ‘The rub comes in the proviso of the bill which makes it necessary for the rich systems to put half of their earn- ings over 6 per cent. on the property investment into a general fund which will be used for the benefit of poor roads. Because of this provision lead- ing shares such as Union Pacific, At- chison, Reading and others were sold to-day and the low priced issues were in quite active demand, Continuance of comparatively low money rates failed to stimulate de- mand for the steel shares and miscel- laneous industrials, Funds were in liberal supply at 6 per cent. at all times, but joss in the miscellaneous group and steels, including U, 8, Stee ranged from small fractions to more than three points.

The decedent directed that after her death the trust should re- main in force and that ber children should receive the income, but, allege the plaintiffs, they were not accorded their rights. ‘There is attached to the defend- ants’ answi copy of an alleged | agreement dated July 9, 1918, by which the income of one-quarter each of the shares of Mrs. Slade and Mrs. Rathbone should be paid to Mrs, Cox. ‘The plaintiff, Mrs. Cox, accuses her sisters of paying her but $90 a month under this agreement.

And then she had to tions. And when she started down the hill with the deputy she walked as slowly as possible, Lt was noon when they reached the Justice's court. The ten prisoners were terribly ngry by this time. When Mrs. Wilk paraded up the aisle and smiled at them they greeted her with stony stares. The Justice cleared his throat and looked down at the culprit. He remembered that Mrs. Wilkes had once said that his wife was an excel- lent woman in a way, but utterly inipossible, of course. And he had the law behind him. “Madam,” he said, “you, were placed under arrest and told to be here at 10 jo'clock this morning. It is now noon, and we have been waiting for you. “I didn’t feel well,” Mrs. Wilkes ex- plained. “I didn't think it would make any difference if I let it go until to- morrow. It isn't as if this was a regular court in the court house.’ “For that remark, madam, J fine you one hundred dollars for contempt of court,” the Justice said. “And for being tardy and disregarding the in- structions of the Sheriff's deputy I fine you another hundred dollars, Tbe fines must be paid in cash immediately following the adjournment of the couzt or incarceration will follow.” Mrs, Wilkes gasped and sat down. Somebody in the back of the room tittered. 4Mhe Judge called the first case Barbara Murphy entered then, hav- ing been notified by Pendleton Pete that the trial was about to begin.

She knew that the town was laughing at her. ‘There were no tele- phones in Dusty Bend, and she could not communicate with anybody who might help her. And if she left the house again she would once more be guilty of trespass, But she refused to admit that she was conquered. Mrs, Wilkes was a woman of resonrce, She perfected her plang that night, and in the morn- ing she walked down the hill, with the deputy a few feet ‘behind hi and admitted that she was guilty as charged. “Pitty dollars for enterin’ last night, and another fifty for trespassin’ this mornin’ to come come here,” the jus- tice said. ‘Fines must be paid in cash immediate, or Incarceration”-—— “fut T have to go back as soon as I leaye here," Mrs. Wilkes pro- tested. “And when I go back T am going to stay.
