shots in quick succession both striking
Mrs Selglln In the breast She fell
and Mrs Dauglmou assisted In carry
ing her Into the house where a physi
cian dressed her wounds after which
she was conveyed to a hospital

During the trial the two women at
tempted several times to fly nt each
other and fight It out then and tln rc
nnd the belligerent spirit permeated
the entire court room
Mrs Selglln says her revolver re
fused to work nfter the first three
shots and that she will make n better

RUSSIA MAKES A THREAT

Clrrtimatniu es
Washington April I -The suggested
Itusslaii plea that the action of the
powers In opposing the Manelnirlun
agreement will make It Impossible for
Itussla to leave Manchuria at all has
aroused Interest here
The comment upon this suggested
plea Is hat Itussla deliberately pro
poses to commit it greater offense In
the permanent seizure of Manchuria
If tile powers will not connive al a
lesser one In allowing her to make a
Noercl and private agreement with
China This plea It Is said would be
laughed out of any court of Interna
tional law so dlslugenloiis Is It Rus
sia Is displeased because the powers
discouraged China from signing the
agreement yet Russia herself Joined
with the powers In undertaking to
nvoid any such private arrangement
Involving the acquisition of Chinese
territory Ken if she persists even
If she forces China to sign the Man
chiirlan agreement there Is no obliga
tion on the powers and certainly not
on the United States to whom this
Russian plea was given to look upon it
as binding at any point By lie same
reasoning should Russia Tailing to se
cure an agreement continue In Man
churia beyond a reasonable time there
Is no obligation upon any power to
respect her title and It may be pre
dicted that this subject will lead to
controversy of the gravest character
WILD STOCK MARKET

Wall Street
New York April 5 Yesterday was
one of violent excitement and ex
treme nervous tension In tho stock
market Prices Undiluted In uu tin
precedentedly violent and erratic man
ner all day The speculative spirit
had apparently run wild and no fen la
seemed too good to attempt In the
feverish Imagination of the excited
speculators Blocks of thousands of
shares of stocks were tossed backward
and forward and millions of dollars
were ventured with no more concern
than though pennies were being
pitched
News or actual rind ortroper
ties played no part whatever in tho
speculations The method of opera
tions was largely to follow designated
leadership A sudden and violent
advance In any stock was Rufllclent to
attract an overwhelming following
In which the scramble to buy caused
a volatile rise with quick profits for
the leaders who hastened to unload
Monday seemed a remote period In the
view of the speculators ami their oper
ations did not appear to lie designed
to go beyond the days trading The
market was an admirable one In
which to unload slock and it is with
in reason to suppose that the excite
ment was stimulated by every possi
ble artful device to further their ob
ject How far It was taken advant
age of may be Inferred from the com
paratively small number of stocks
which retain any Important net gains
In spite of the appearance of extreme
buoyancy which tho market had for
most of the time
