BROKERS MUSTN'T BE BOYS.
Efforts TO Stop Hazing on the Pro-
duce Exchange.

New York, Nov. 12.-Since the
earliest days of the Produce
Exchange hazing has been praticed on
the floor Grain and flour brokers' VINO
expose their samples on long tables,
been customary when they turn their
heads away from their stands to hurl
their samples at their heads.
Among those who have suffered from
the destruction of his samples and the
ruin of his clothes by flour dust is
Broker F. NJ Turnbull. Mr. Turnbul
made up his mind TO put a stop to the
nuisance, even If by so doing he should
sacrifice his title of Jolly good fellow, "
which is withdrawn from those who
make complaints to the -four COM
mittee.
On Wednesday afternoon his oppor-
tunity came. Just before the close of
business he left his samples for mo-
ment, and as he turned away voley
of grain and flour bags was thrown at
him. He turned around so quickly that
he caught ]. NJ Halt in the act of
throwing a bag of oats Mr.. Turnbul
Immediately made formal charge
against Mr.. Halt. BY so doing he vio-
lated all the traditions of the Exchange
and brought down upon his head the
anger of the Order OF Phunny Phel-
lows" mock fraternity the jokers have
among themselves.
The trial was held yesterday afternoon
Many of the ''phunny phellows' had filled
their pockets with grain and flour to pelt
complainant and tribunal
Mr.. Turnbull had selected Broker w
H. Smith, of the Long Dock Milling Com
pany, of Jersey City, a mature business
man, to represent him. William Tilson
young broker with a humorous vein
was chosen as counsel by Mr. Halt To
the surprise of everybody Mr. Smith, act
ing under the rules of the Exchange,
called in Supt. Lester B. Howe, who is a
notary, and had all the witnesses put
under oath.
The amaZement increased when J. w
Ahles, chairman of the floor committee
announced that the trial was intended to
be serious one. Mr.. Turnbull's evil
dence, though strong, was not considered
sufficient to warrant suspension AS the
trial was the first of the kind 1t was de-
| cided to let Mr. Halt off with this for
NAL warning, which was sent to him ate
! yesterday afternoon:
u. NJ. Halt, Esq.
Sir: We do not wish at this time to sin

member for violation of the rules COM

Italians Fight Lonely Duel to the
Death.il'
Winsted, Conn, Nov. 12l-Arstory of re-
venge and murder has just come to light
at Torrington, thriving borough 10 miles
south of this city. q
The principals were Italians, and the al
legged murderer, Tony Rossp, has fed, pre-
sumably across the ocean. Up to the
time of the murder Rosso conducted a
fruit store in Torrington. Near by Rocco
Marcano kept a bootblack stand. Both
were gamblers and frequented the same
houses. They played cards for high
stakes.
On the night of October 16 they played
together in a Torrington gambling den.
Luck ran against Rosso all the while
favoring Marcano in a remarkable man
ner. Rosso lost his temper; he accused
Marcano of cheating, and fiinging the
cards in his face, challenged him in Ital-
ian:
Il would like to meet you between four,
when we could decide something forever"
RosSo'S words meant to an Italian: 90 /
will meet you in duel-and between your
two eyes and my two eyes We shall de-
eide which has the steadiest eye. One
of us must die
The following morning Rosso and Mar
cano set forth together for lonely spot
some miles outside the town and there
fought to death with pistols. Rosso shot
Marcano through the head. and after in
fiicting the fatal wound carried his dying
victim to his home, where he watched him
until death. He then fled.
The police learned that Rosso first went
to New York, where he purchased a ticket
for London, 1t is said, en- route for Italy.
Yesterday Chief of Police Saunders placed
an attachment on Rossos store.
Marcanos friends threaten that ven
geance will pursue Rosso even to his
home in Italy.
He may dodge the police. but not the
Malta they declare.

There was a good market today for the
close of week that has been very en-
couraging to the bulls. Prices did not ad-
vance today except in one or two in
stances, but there was good commission
buying, which shows the public is inter-
ested in the situation and likely to con-
tinue active for some time to come The
realizing by the insiders continued and
was the only bad sign People who
bought in large blocks before the cleo
tions TO sustain the market are now sell
ing out for their quickly realized profits
If this selling continues next week there
can be no doubt that there will come a re-
action, bad, or of not much consequence
as the case may be. The bulls are very
confident, but the bears are In as large
numbers as formerly. predicting a slump
as soon as the public is we'll into the
market. The argument of the bears is
that prices are now sufficiently high for
the measure of prosperity that the coun-
try is likely to witness at any near fu-
ture time.

account OF the decrease in reserves. On

THE CONSPIRACY CASE
ISAAC CIENER's COMPLAINT AGAINST
WHOLESALE GROCERs.
Argument on Demurrer-sTexas
Tom'sv Light Sentence for whole
sale Bicycle: Stealing.

Arguments were heard on demurrer yes
terday morning in the suit of Isaac Ciener
against the Indianapolis members of the
Indiana Wholesale Grocers Association.
Since the suit was brought lin Room 2, SUI
perior Court it has attracted considerable
interest among liquor and tobacco mer-
chants and grocers over the State. Cfener
is wholesale liquor and tobacco dealer on
West Washington street. He sues the
grocers association for $4,000 damages, al
leging conspiracy. He charges that the
Indianapolis members of the association
threatened to withdraw their patronage
from the large tobacco factories unless his
orders were refused. Ciener claims he has
been compelled TO purchase of the members
of the association at an advance of 10 per
cent.
The defendants demurred to the COM
plant. through their attorneys, Smith and
Korbley. Lew Wallace, jr., and w. A. Van
Buren, represent the plaintiff. The argu-
ment of Attorney Korbley was heard yes
terday morning, and next week the plain
tiff's side of the case will be heard. 1t is
contended by Attorney Korbley that in or
der to make out a case the complaint of the
plaintiff must charge something more than
mere threat on the part of the grocers
to withdraw their patronage from the to-
bacco factories. The complaint, it is
averred. shows state of competition be-
tween the members of the grocers asso-
citation and the plaintiff Ciener In such a
condition of affairs it is commended, threat
on the part of the defendants to withdraw
patronage would be legitimate commercial
warfare Mr.. Korbley insisted that what
any one member of the association did to-
wards threatening to buy elsewhere in or
der to induce manufacturers to decline Gle
ner's orders ali members of the association
could do as a combine.
In reply to this argument the plaintiff
will contend that it is against the law to
form monopoly in this country, and any
thing that tends to monopoly is wrong
full and unfair competition.
