(Wire of Downing, Hopklna A Co.)
New York, Jan. .2. The opening on
stocks was weak, and the
tenue
lency
downward, and. although the volume of
business was at low ebb, each new trade
resuuea in lower prices. At tne ena 01
the forenoon - session, active Issues
showed losses of over a point from
Tuesday's final flgurea. In the after
noon, concentrated buying of an ag
gressive character appearing, coupled
with a drop from 20 to 9 per cent In tha
call money rate,, bringing out a con
tinued flood of ahort covering orders,
resulted In the retirement on the double
quick of a good portion or the late per
sistent short Interest, Reading gaining
4 points over today's low. The balance
showed gains of 1 to 3 points.
Morgan houses are said to have con
tributed materially to the strength In
Reading. Traders are watching these
houses closely at present, as they say
tha market checks Immediately, when
such buying stops, and It la suspended

taking undue advantage of such help
like they did a month ago. The cloae

WILL ASK REHEARING
OF BLODGETT CASE
Attorney Haney Anxious to
Save Time and Expense
of New Trial.
Petitions for a rehearing of the
George Blodgett murder case are being
prepared by Deputy District Attorney
Bert Haney f5r submission to the Ore
gon.supreme court. Blodgett. who has
been in the county Jail for the past year
and a half awaiting the outcome of his
case, wqa convicted of murder In the
first degree for killing Alice Mlnthorn.
Ills case was appealed to the supreme
court and this tribunal reversed the
decisl&n of the lower court and ordered
a new trial on the grounds that the
district attorney had made remarks hot
proper for argument before the Jury, It
being held .that the remarks tended to
prejudice the case of the defendant be
fore the Jury.
As the matter now stands It will be
necessary to try Blodgett once more In
the circuit court. Deputy Haney does
not desire to do this if he can secure
a rehearing of the argument on appeal
beforo the upper court. If the supreme
court grants the petition the appeal
will be argued before the court at Sa
lem as soon as possible. If the peti
tion is denied Blodgett will be brought
to trial again before the circuit court

the game throwing 1 4 of the 22 baskets.

fouls. Meagher was the only Everett

Says ileney Has Taken Doc
uments Needed in Defense
in Land Fraud Case.
Demandlna- to ba allowed access to
latter-books and records wrested from
his possession and taken from the office
of the United States district attorney
by Francis J. Heney, John H. Hall has
filed a petition in tha federal court set
ting out that the material asked la pub
lic record and necessary to exonerate
him from the charges , alleged against
him in the land-fraud case In which he
Is the leading defendant.
In his petition, which was filed De
cember 28, Mr. Hall asks for the privil
ege of examining the office letter-books
for the period .extending from January
1, 1899, to December 81, 1904. He al
leges that these flies contain corre
spondence had with E. A. Putnam, C.
E. Loomls E. D. Stratford, T. B. Neu
hausen, W. W. 6teiwer. Edward Dixon,
J. W. Rennlck, and the Butte Creek
Livestock Land and Lumber company
concerning the fencing of government
lands In Wheeler county. He asks also
for letters written during this same
period to the attorney-general and the
department of the interior and for an
awers received from these sources.
Mr. Hall atatea that theae letters tend
to exonerate him from any crime or
wrongdoing in the case, and are neces
sary for tha defenae, which could not
safely go to trial without the evidence
they furnish. He states that he had
made application to Mr. Bristol, who had
furnished him copies of such letters aa
he had In-his possession, but that Bris
tol had Informed him that most of the
documents were not In the possession of
the district attorney's office, but that
Heney had taken them to San Francisco.
Heney had refused to allow the de
fendant or his attorneys to soe the let
ters, Mr. Hall says, and he asks the
ourt to make such an order on the
rounds that the letters sought are pub
lic records of the district attorney's of
fice. I filing the petition Hr. Hall took
a copy to the district attorney's office
and served it upon Deputy District At
torney Cole, who refused to accept the
servioe, having been directed so to do
because of his having no connection
with the land-fraud cases. Mr. Hall
therefore adds an affidavit to his peti
tion showina that he attempted to serve
the petition on the district attorney's
orrice and did, in raci, leave a copy
with Mr. Cole.
There are no new developments In the
land-fraud situation. Judge Hunt Is
expected in Portland in time to assume
charge of the trials January 13. No
call nas been Issued for the trial Jury
and will not until asked for by Mr.
Heney, from whom no word has been
received up to tnis lime. 11 is oe
lleved that the ex parte motions pend
I no- in the different cases will be taken
up ahead of any consideration of the
Hall case, first on the docket, in order
that the jury will have time to be
gathered In after the arrival of Mr.
Heney ana tne resumption 01 me near

Multnomah county's school population
including children over four years of
age and under 20. is 36,457 according to
a report compile by the county super
intendent on a census taken November

ary 25. 1907 showed a population of
35,688, making the gain in nine monthH i
769.
While the rate of Increase does not
loom up as great as the Increase of
1907 over 1906 the recent changes in the
school law initiating new methods does
not allovfr of as favorable comparisons
as in previous years.
The school population in district No.
1, which Includes Portland Is 32.304, ac
cording to the report, a gain over the
report of February 25, 1907. of 623. This
shows a greater rate of gain In the city
than In the county, although a com
parison of the last two reports shows a
notable Increase in the county popula
tion. This Is the first census taken under
tha new law. Hitherto the census has
been taken February 5, but in the future
the renort will be compiled on statistics
gathered November 25. Localise of this j
fact the rigures gatnerea mis yeur uu
not show up as favorably as they
would were they taken In Fobruary
