A IsCW OUnUUL DUILUIMi how the supreme. court will decide either
on of these case. But the futility of
Ala AaW that Medical Inspect! j gruesaing over the act Von of th supreme
Bill Be. laden. Itely pMt. ! oourt or nt lr1n to advance ln-
99mr ' formation cf its verdicts Is weil recog-
nised after years cf endeavor to secure th
j quickest news possible when important
cases are pending.
1 sented by both sides and w hich are said to
j cover over 8.000 pages of testimony.
It is from these lawyers that most of the
guesses now being made at the decisions
come It will soon be known whether or
not large retainers paid for these advance
! opinions are worth while.
Th last big case w hich the supreme court
decided against the Judgment cf Wall
street was that in the SO-cent gas suit
which the Consolidated Gas company lost.
Here the Judgment of paid corporation law
yers had been that the company aould be
within its case. There had been consider
able buying of the stock as a consequence.
Th fiat decision against the company
j brought on a temporary panic in the stock
market, in which Consolidated Gas dropped
about thirty points In a few hours. An hour
before the decision came ther had been
some selling through Washington. '
This later was understood to hav been t
started by a lawyer who had been listening ;
to the decisions being handed down by i
the supreme court that day and In one of
which a point similar to the main point In
the Consolidated Gas cas had been de
cided against the company. This gave him i
an Inkling of w hat the verdict In the gas t
case would be when rendered.
Elaborate preparations have been made .
for getting first word of th big decisions
from th court chamber. The newa asso
ciations control the situation there and
brokers who have tried to put In wires
or to hold long distance telephones open
have been rather curtly treated. A lead of
a minute In th race for thia first news of
the decisions would mean many thousands
to the broker who '
gum SDB
held It.
A resolution asking that any medical in
spection bill for school children at present
before the legislature be indrTtniteiy post
poned was adopted at a meeting of the
members of the Central Park school dis
trict Friday night. The meeting was an
enthusiastic on and about K wer in at
