New York Bond Market Dull By Attociatcd Preia. New York, Nov. 30.—The bond mar ket opened dull and listless on the New York Stock Exchange to-day, the, first full day of trading of any sort since the exchange was closed on July 30. Unusual interest was manifested among biokers who thought the two-hour ses sion of Saturday did' not afford a full test of conditions and feared there might b« a general tendency to liqui date by foreign holders. Nothing of this sort developed during the first quarter hour of trading. For a full minute after the opening the ticker remained silent. Five minutes after the opening gong only nine bonds, with a face value of |9,000, had boen sold. The market appeared to be in a state of stagnation. U. 8. Steel 5s rose % to 99%; South ern Pacific Convertible 4s and Distil lers' Securities 5s were off %, selling at 80% and 55'/ a , respectively. \Veating house Convertibles declined 3 points and Central Pacific. 4s declined 3'/ a points. All fears of a flood of liquidation from abroad seemed to vannsh within t'he first quarter of an hour. Indications were that the second day of restricted trading in bonds would be much like the first. As the OBV progressed the 'bulk of the trading was in amalll lots, but occa sionally twenty or thirty bo mis changed faaiads im one transaction. Prices were irregular with a better inquiry for a limited number of industrials and specialities w'ho»e products have been in greater demand by reason of the war. Notable declines of the early session ranged from 3 to 7 points in Centra! Pacific. 4s, Chicago, Rock Island anil Pacific railway ss, Oregon Short Line 6s and Lorillard 7s. Among the few advances interborongh 4%», Pennsyl vania 3V,s and 'Lackawanna Steel ss. Altogether 4 6 different issues were traded in up, to noon. At that time sales approximated $550,000. Coffee Exchange Reopens New York, Nov. 30. —The New York Coffee Exchange reopened to-dav for un restricted trading afteir having been dark for four months as the result of the European war situation. Opening prices were 130 to 149 points below the closing bids of July 30, but they were also 7 to 14 points above the quotations made through the liquidating committee on Saturday. The market's tone wns steady and there was little coffee for sale. Offerings were readily absorbed by* houses with Euro pean connections. It was evident that Europe was attracted to the local mar ket by the low prices.

The wireless activity of these war vessels, the operators said, is causing great inconvenience to the commercial work of American vessels as the high powered waves of the men-of-war are heard continually in utter disregard of commercial busiuoss. "These warships," the Ancon's operators said, "pay no attention to the rules governing wireless operations. With their high power apparatus they cut into the middle of a message ami absolutely disregard ail requests to keep out. We have no means of iden tifying the ships as they use code ex clusively—code that appears to be made up of a combination of numbers. We counted twelve different warships that jaiimi ed our wireless on the way The Aneon brought from the canal zone ten members of the Congressional committee on appropriations who have been making an official inspection of t'he great waterway. The party left New York on November 7, and on the outward trip, when about thirty miles out of Colon, they passed the British cruisers, Suffolk " and Essex, taking coal from a naval collier. The Ancon had as steerage passen gers a party of twenty-four United .States soldiers, prisoners who were brought to the United States to serve various terms for violation of military regulations. LATEST WAfTNEWSSUIViMARY Continued From First I'nire. have been scouring the seas for weeks for tie Germans. Russia's forces, it is reported unof ficially to-day, have at last reach «' Cracow, the Austrian fortress in Nortt western Galicia near the boundaries oi Russia and Germany. An Italian cor respondent at the front states that Cra cow is now being bombarded by heavy Russian siege guns and that one of the suburbs is in flames. The capture of this fortress has been one of the main ob jectives of Russia's campaign against Austria, on the theory that its fall, to gether with that of Przemysl now under siege, would mean Russian ascendancy in that part of Austria which lies to the north of the Carpathian mountains. Other than this report, there was lit tle new information concerning the sit uation in the east. The main question, in the opinion of London, was whether the German army which struck at the Russian center would be able to extri cate itself and fall back to the border without a disaster. The Russian army operating from Lodz is striking a heavy blow at the main Gorman force, but it is probably that some time must elapse before this phase of the campaign in the east is brought to a close. Opinions differ sharply as to the in tentions of Germany concerning opera tions in the west. It is reported that Germany is about to embark on a new offensive movement; that the allies arc about to assume the offensive, that the German line has been weakened and that a new German army is being rush ed into Flanders. In view of these con flicting statements it is impossible to discern even the probabilities of the near future. Fighting at present ap parently is confined to operations in the Argonne. Russia's campaign against Turkey likewise has reached a period of in activity. The latest report from the Russian army of the Caucasus is to the effect that no movements of importance are under way.

E. N't roup agreed to frame an issue by which the question of sanity first would be passed upon by a jury of twelve men. In the interim, however, the defend ant again was directed to stand up. He hesitated, looked about aimlessly and tJieu jnumblftd: "I'll keep seat ed." 1 "He sayis he will stay seated,'' put in the District Attorney, directing his remarks to the judges." "Let him stand up," demanded Judge Kunkel. Smith did not heed the demand. Then tihe court, Smith's counsel and the County Prosecutor simultaneously directed him to get upon his feet. This time he complied. \\ ith the issue fraimed and every thing ready for the selection of the jury that mil pass upon Smith's men tal condition, the defendant's counsel insisted upon the right to examine each juror on whether he had framed or expressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Seeks Bight to Question When the court ruled out that part of the questioning, Mr. Weiss read from his individual legal brief what sounded like an appeallate court ruling sustaining his attitude, saving that it ' came under the act of the Legisla ture of 1860." "What case is that?" asked Judge McCarrell. 6 It is no case. It is our conten tion," said Mr. Weiss. Judge McCarrell could not refrain from smiling and he was joined bv at torneys who also thought' the incident laughable. "It sounded somewhat like the deliv erance of the Supreme Court," said Judge McCarrell. "I thought Your Honors -would rec ognize it as such," added Mr. Weiss. ''No, it didn't sound like that to me, quickly put in Judge Kunkel. Again the attorneys at the bar laughed. Three Jurors Challenged Three of the jurors, examined while the panel was ibeing drawn, wre chal lenged. Allen Felker, of West London derry township, and Everett C. Brinton, of Susquehanna township, both said they have fixed opinions as to the men tal condition of the accused. Besides, Brinton said his hearing is defective. William J. Daylor, a Steelton merchant, said: ''l have a fixed opinion. I believe all persons who commit such crimes aro of unsound mind." To Call Many Witnesses The hearing on the mental condition of tile defendant, will, it is expected, last several days. Half a hundred wit nesses will bo called, including alien ists. For the Commonwealth Dr. T. S. Blair, of this city, and Dr. Howard Phillips, formerly a specialist in Kirk brixle sanitarium, will testify while in addition to many of the accused's ac quaintances the defense will have Dr. Walter 0. Bowers, of the Schuylkill Haven County Hospital for the Insane, and Dr. C. R. McKinniss, formerly of the State Hospital for the Criminal In sane in Norristown and now superinten dent of the Pittsburgh City Hospital for the Feeble Minded. The hearing begun to-day is a part of the general murder trial but the jury chosen this morning will in no way have anything to do with the criminal charge. If Smith is found to bo sane now, the trial on the murder charge will go on in the same manner as though the insanity plea had not been set up. The History of the Crime A firo in the Bush cottage in Ingle nook on Wednesday night, December 17, last, led to the discovery of the murder of the aged grandfather for which Smith has been indicted. Bush was supposed to have had about $3,- 000 in cash in the house. It was missing. The cottage was, for several years prior to that time, the home of the grandfather and grandson. The murdered man's body was pulled from the burning building by members of an auto party, after his feet had been burned off. Smith, who now ig 25 years old', was apprehended by the Pittsburgh police a few days after the crime, lie was ar rested on a charge of carrying a pistol and later was identified as the man wanted here on the murtler charge. At the time ot' his arrest $2,827.15 was found in his pockets, together with a railroad annual pass, which had be longed to the grandfather who was a retired railroader.

When Knights Were Bold When knighbs were clad 'in comploto armor from top to toe it was essential that they should "bear some sign by which their followers could distinguish them in battle, and this was the func tion of their armorial bearings. Knights who omitted to wear their own arms ran considerable risk, and it is related that at t'ho battle of Baunockburn the last of the De Clares owed his death to his omission to wear his bearings. He was slain unrecognized, whereas had he been known he would have been held prisoner for the ransom or a as hostage. sunny CAIHPIONFORGES Union Said to Have Fi nanced the Penrose Campaign Files Its Expense Account $5,000 GIVEN TO THE STATE BODY Amos Pinehot, Brother of Oifford, Con tributed SOSO to Anti-Penrose Be publican League—Othor Political Committees Make Their Beports J.
