sured by distinguished yachtsmen thai

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade the past
week:
Trade conditions are still irregular
Business is of fair volume, but not so
active as year ago, partly because
of the backward season, heavy rains
interfering with crop movements and
collections; continued labor troubles,
present and past, discouraging build
ing operations and the spread of the
conservative feeling among buyers,
based upon stock market liquidation
and the feeling that the high prices
Of many products will tend, if they
have not already done so, to automatic
ally check consumption.
Many underlying conditions. are
however, still favorable. First in i'm
portance should be reckoned the de-
cidedly better tone of advices from
the corn crop, which has developed
better quality and larger yield than
was deemed possible. Special inquiry
by Bradstreet's agents point to yield
Of at least 2,250,000, 900 bushels, of
grade superior to that of year ago
Lower prices for this and other Ger.
calls and for cotton, whose yield will
be smaller than seemed probable a
month ago, seem likely to help out
backward export trade in these pro-
ducts and improve the foreign ex.
change outlook. Collections, too,
though backward, are improving as
the grain and cotton movement ex-
pand.
The volume of business doing by the
railroads is excellent.
The best trade advances come from
the southwest, notably at Kansas City
and st. Louis; from the western sec
tons; such as Nebraska and Iowa,
where corn is turning out better than
expected; from the Pacific coast,
where trade is still unqualifiedly good,
despite the slowness of new wheat
and other crops to move. and from
portions Of the south, such as the
Mississippi valley. where present
prices for cotton afford good return
for fair yields.

MURDERED ONFRE|GRT TRAIN
e. c. PETRIE OF SPOKANE SHOT
~ TWO THUGS.
He and q. B. FuIkerson, a Harvester
Of North Yakima, Riding on Lum-
Der Car When They Were Ordered
to Hold Up Their Hands-Fired at
Petrie, Ordered Fulkerson to Jump.

Spokane, Oct. 12.-Elmer c. Petrie
of 1923 Boone avenue, was shot to
death by one Of two thugs on North.
ern Pacific freight train a short dis.
lance west of the high Hangman
creek trestle shortly after o'clock
Sunday night. Robbery was the mo.
tive. G. B. Fulkerson, harvester
from North Yakima, was the only eye
witness of the murder, except the &C.
complete of the murderer.
Fulkerson and the victim Of the
murder were travelling together in a
coal car, loaded with lumber, accord
ing to Fulkerson's story, when two
men came over the top of the train
and approached them. The four talk.
ed a minute, and then one Of the
strangers fired a shot over Fulker-
sons head. Fulkerson's travelling
companion fell over like a log against
the lumber. The two men ordered
Fulkerson to hold up his hands,
searched him, and made him get of
the swiftly moving train.
Fulkerson walked to Spokane, and
told the police his story. officers
searched the train, which had arrived
in the meantime, and had been side
tracked in the freight yards. In the
lumber car, just where Fulkerson said,
the body was found.
Fulkerson says the train was going
very rapidly, and that he was almost
afraid to get off.
Was Not Robbed.
When Petrie's body was searched
by Acting Coroner Stocker, the dis.
covery was made that the murderer
had not robbed his victim, or if he
had, that he had overlooked $500 in
money and a gold watch. 1t was
found that the bullet had entered
from the back, and came out at the
right side. The wound was evidently
inflicted with a SO caliber revolver.
Was a Lineman.
Elmer c. Petrie was lineman in
the employ of the Pacific States Tele-
phone company. He was % years of
age, and was photographer by pro.
fession. He had been working for
the telephone company about two
months. His parents live in st. Cloud,
MINI. Petrie left for Spangle Sunday
morning, accompanying Miss Lulu
Wiley, a school teacher, there, to
whom Petrie was engaged. He re-
turned On freight train, rather than
!
senger train. Miss Wiley is a sister
Of Mrs. Emma Dubois, of 1923 Boone
avenue, where Petrie boarded.

GALE ALONG VIRGINIA COAST
MILES AND MILES OF WRECKAGE
ALONG lhE BEACH.
Entire Section Of Country Suffers
Great Loss-Rescue Of three Nc.
groes by Surfman VIM. capps Was
a Most Heroic Act-TeIegraph Lines
All DoWn-MiIls Forced to Close,

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 1.-THE north.
east gale that has ragged over this re-
gion since Thursday has practically.
spent its power, but for miles and
miles along the Virginia coast the
beach is Uttered with wreckage, and
throughout this entire section of the
country devastation lies in the wake
Of the storm. Thousands of people
crowded the coast Sunday to view the
wrecks of the big barges, Ocean Belle
and Georgia. The body of Captain
George H. Adams Of the Georgia
washed ashore.
Daring Rescue.
The rescue of three negroes of the
crew by Surfman William Caps was
most heroic act. Caps, while two
miles from any other human being,
and patrolling his stretch between the
stations, saw one negro over 100 yards
off shore in the roaring surf. Without
I moments consideration he stripped
and plunged into the sea, that was al.
ready a seething mass of wreckage
from the barges, and after a half hour
battle, single handed and alone,
brought the unconscious man to
shore. A moment later he discovered
through rift another form, and once
more went into the surf. This time
mis- struggle was harder one, but he
eventually succeeded in saving the
negro. Placing both men under the
| lee of cliff, he started back to the
station to give the alarm, when he saw
third negro in the waves, and for
a third time plunged in and brought
an unconscious man ashore.
While nothing new is reported in
The way of wrecks on the coast, there
is absolutely no means of securing in
formation from points more than six
miles south of Virginia Beach. The
entire coast telegraph system is pros.
rated, and it will be some days be-
fore communication can be restored.
Anchored off Virginia Beach, with
40 signs of life aboard, are two large
sea-going barges. Both are slowly but
surely dragging toward the beach.

At Cape Henry the bay and ocean
beach is covered with wreckage from
small craft and the mammoth double
decked pavilion is badly damaged.
The loss at Virginia Beach exceeds
that of any other place hereabouts.
