BattiSta was not injured, but carried a revolver which had not been fired In the dead mans coat, however, was q revolver from which three shots had been fired. hls mystities the police. since Giovan- Ill wound would have prevented him rom restoring the weapon to q place or concealment. In his pockets also were many counterfeit coins. Giovan- Ill, who was one of the most promi- nent Italians in Chicago, was q mem Der Of several secret societies and came here three years ago.
 Within five hours after the murder the police raided. a house at HI Mil ton avenue and arrested nine Italians, said to be sympathizers of the Chica- go branch of the Matia society. The persons arrested are: Dominic Cata- Ian. Nofel Philip. Rafael Litta, Capalna Makea, Nalkri Ferna, John Ronte. simon Rafael, Tony Spargno, Joseph Mariso.
 Mariso was suffering from q severe bullet wound in the mouth, and he was taken to the county hospital. It Is believed by the police that Giovanni was lured from his home to the place of ambush and that he was there set upon.
 When the raid was made on the house ill Milton avenue the nine men were found huddled in a small room. In the room were found numerous dirks. stillettos and revolvers.
 It is believed by the police that the l murder 7may have been prompted by | revenge on account of some old feud. | A matter that they are puzzled over is l the deposition ill divorce case that | was found in the possession of the | dead man. This is the case of Dr | Ral1ph Gundove against Colvinda | Gundove. 700 South Fourth street, St 1 Louis. It is believed that Giovanni was acting as agent for some attosyay. and this may have had something to 10 with the plot against his life

NEW YORK CANAL.
It Will Cost Nearly Twenty Million
 Dollars to Complete If.


 Albany, N. Y., Feb Ex-Governor Odell has received a report of State Engineer Bond bearing upon the con- pletlon of canal improvement on the plans started on the $9,OOO.OOO i'm provement act authorized two years ago and supervised by George w. AL dridge. then superintendent of public works
 MT Bond says that to carry comDeti- ton successfully the improvement be- gun by MT Aldridge will cost at least Sl9,5oOOOO. Mir Aldridge and his sue cessor have finished 34 per cent of the improvement under q nine million dol lar expenditure and Mr Bonds figures are for competing the remaining 66 per cent In other words Mir Bonds estimate for competition of the two thirds of the canal still unimproved under the S9,OOO,O0O contract, would seem to indicate that the money so far expended by the state for the nine loot improvement was not misspent and that the contention of Former State Engineer Adams and Superin- tendent Aldridge that at least Sl2,OOO.OOO more was necessary is more than borne out.
 Thirteen million dollars in round numbers has been reported upon sev- eral times as a fair estimate for con- pletion of the work. but Mir Bond adds 5000, GOO to that sum and gives his figures as $19.5OO,OOO

In Formulating a Plan in the Matter of Education


 of Education.
 St Louis. Mo, Feb 22-Missouri has Iaken the lead in formulating a plan by which there shall be cooperation between the Presbyterian and the southern Presbyterian churches in the matter of education. Joint action was taken here by two special committees or the two synods of the state com mendlng cooperation in the work of education as something not only de siraDle' but Imperative" To clinch the compact the southern committee offered to the other denomination the privilege of having joint control with the southern church of Westminster college at Fulton. The Presbyterian committee. in turn, recommended a similar joint control for the Linden wood college for young ladies at St Charles. Each committee then an proved the liberality of the other and agreed to recommend the entire plan to its own synod. The action of yes- terday, important as it is in it's bear ing on the two schools concerned. is considered of even greater moment as a precedent in cooperation between north and south which may establish a course that shall end in reunitine the two denominations.

AMERICAN ICE COMPANY.
To Reduce the Capital Stock Several
 Millions

New York, Feb 22.-Speaking of the special meting of stockholders of the American Ice company to be held in Jersey City on March l to vote on a proposition to reduce the capital stock from S6O,OOO,OOO to $4O. 1000, 900 Presi- dent Morse of the company said: The matter has but little significance. When the American Ice company was organized, it was our intention to au- thorlze the issue of stock enough to pay for the various properties which We expected to acquire. The amount fixed upon was purely arbitrary. A large part of the stock remained in the treasury. Now we find that we can as we'll reduce the amount and still leave enough in the treasury to add to our holdings anything we are likely to want in the near future. so we decided to retire the surplus stock. Should we need it at some future time. the stockholders may again authorize its issue. Mir Morse said the company had been able to gather during the recent cold weather, more than 100000 tons of ice
