By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Dec. 12 —
Frank K. Sturgis, former president
of the board of governors of the New
York Stock exchange, told the House
“money trust” inquiry that the mem-
bership of the exchange has not in-
creased since 1869, though the busi-
ness volue has increased fifty times
over. He admits that exchange bro-
iters use stock owned in part by cus-
tomers as collateral to support their
own looses, rehypothecating the se-
curities for a greater amount than
* represented in the debts of their cus-
tomers.
The governors would welcome a
stop to the practice.
He says the exchange is unable to
prevent manipulation by pools and
syndicates,

Special w Daily News, ’
Austin, Texas, Dec. 12.—Radical
changes are recommended in the
code of civil and criminal proced-
ure of the state by the district
Judges of Texas in the convention
which the judges held here today,
One of the changes is that the law
should be so changed that when a
verdict is rendered by a Jury in, a
criminal case, that the court and not
the Jury, shall assess the degree of
punishment as it is done in the Fed-
' oral Court. It is also suggested that
the law should be so changed as to
prohibit the wrangling between the
attorney before juries.
These matters will be brought to
the attention of the next legislature.
Waiting for the peace plenipotenti-
aries to conclude their negotiation#
has proved irksome to the Montene-
grin soldiers. Heavy snowstorms and
zero weather have been added to the
usual discomforts of campaigning,
and the fighting men in the Balkans
want to be ordered home, unless they
can be provided with enough action
to keep their blood in circulation.
