UP GOES LEATHER
Manufacture Alarmed ana May Raise
 Prices.

New York. Oct 21.-The advance in the price of leather of all grades. which has been steady and continuous for the past two months, has reached point where the manufacturers of leather goods are taking alarm and beginning to talk of raising prices all along the line, says to-day's Journal of Commerce. Already the Chicago shoe manufacturers have advanced their prices fifty cents per pair. and there was talk here yesterday to the effect that the eastern manufacturers would follow suit within a few days.
 Quotations have risen so persistent ly and strongly and it is becoming so apparently easy to get higher and higher prices that unless wisdom and restraint prevails between buyers and sellers there Is danger ahead. Never in the history of the leather trade have the prices of hides been 90 high for continuous period of time. It has been an extraordinary situation, and its existence Is charged up to Chicago packers.

DEAD IN
 TREE TOP
Man Discovered at
 Early Noon.
Tree Had to be Cut Down to Get at Body-han Was Probably Insane - Took Particular Pains to Make Sure of the Job.

Westport, Oct 21.-Suspended from the limb of hickory tree at height of over sixty feet the almost nude body of man was sighted by the crew of the early morning trolley car from Norwalk to this town, in Peat swamp, today. The matter was re ported to the town officials, who sent over Medical Examiner Huntington and several men to investigate. It was not found feasible to have men climb the tree and remove the body, so wOodman was secured and he felled the hickory. The man, who has not been recognized, probably climbed the tree during the night after disrob- ing on the grass some distance away. He Ind knotted a slfawf Etrap around his neck and OH crawling out upon the limb tied the other end around. it.. and then let himself down to be strangled to death. That he lowered himself slowly to prevent the strap breaking, was shown, in the opinion of Dr Hunt ington, by the fact that one arm was upralsed and crooked over the limb, the member stiffening in death and serving as support for the body as it swung in the wind. Dr Huntington in giving a verdict of suicide said that probably the man had been insane. The clothing was of fair texture. but the shoes were heavy and of a brogan style. The body was that of we'll kept man without aHy evidence that he was professional tramp. The body was taken to Norwalk.

BURGLARS GET INTO A
 MAINE BANK VAULT
Silver and Copper to the Amount of Nearly $500 Was Taken-The Safe Was Not Disturbed Although this Contained About Fourteen Thousand Dollars in Currency Officers Hunting for the Robber.

Phillips, Me, Oct 21-Burglars blew open the vault of the Phillips National bank early to-day and secur- ed $749.j0 in silver and coppers. For some reason no attempt was made to gain entrance to the main safe. This contained about $14,000 in currency. The robbers escaped and there is no clew.
 Occupants of a hotel situated near the bank heard the sound of an ex- plosion at 2 a. m., and made an in- vestigation, but the source of the noise was not discovered. After day light however, it was noticed that an. obstruction of blanks and other ma terial had been placed on the sidewalk in front of the bank building, appar- ently for the purpose of giving warn- ing in case of the approach of citizens and it was found that window in the bank office had been forced open and the vault robbed. The lock had been knocked from the vault door with an axe, and the explosive placed in the hole thus made. The door was shatter- ed by the explosion and the office it. self considerably damaged. Several heavy blankets, taken from a stable, and thoroughly soaked with water, had been used to deaden the detona ton. Tn addition to the currency it was found that trunk belonging to Mrs Julia Hinckley of Phillips and containing papers of value only to her was taken.
 After sending an alarm to all parts of the country, officers began search of the town and it's vicinity during the forenoon As far as could be learned no suspicious characters had been seen here about, and the officers as- stunned that the safe blowers came ill carriage after dark. The fact that the attack was not made upon the main vault led to the theory that the work was done by amateurs who It is believed are members of gang which during the past six weeks have been blowing up safes in post offices, rail road ticket offices and stores in west ern Maine.

CUNLIFFE GIVEN THE
 DEGREES AT PITTSBURC
The Sweating Process Worked by the Express Thief Was Kept on the Rack Until 4;3O in the Morning Quickly Dropped Off to Sleep When He Was Finally Lodged in Cell

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct 21.-Edward G. Cunliffe, who committed the $101, 900 theft from the Adams Express Co and who was captured Thursday at Bridge port Conn, is thoroughly fatigued person to-day. Upon his arrival from the east last evening he was immedi- ately taken to the local office of the Pinkerton detective agency, where he was put through process of sweat ing' by the officials that lasted until 4:3O o'clock this morning. Whether it was productive and disclosed the whereabouts of the remaining S11 900 could not be learned. CunIiffe was lodged in a cell at the central police station at o'clock, where he quickly removed his coat and, making a pillow Of it, was soon asleep Several re- porters were permitted to visit Gun life today.
 T suppose you have had strenuous time. Cunliffe," was suggested.
 Yes" replied Cunliffe. "The Pin kertons put me through terrible rack ing experience lasting about eight hours"
 Cunliffe said he was tired out and expressed willingness for quarters in the county jail where he was told the accommodations were more eomforta- ble. He will be committed to that place to-day.
 It was reported that Cunliffe had been cruelty treated during the exam nation last night and to-day. A Pitts burg newspaper man, who accompan- jed the party from Bridgeport, stated that en route to this city the authori- ties did everything possible for the prisoners comfort. During the exam aintion last night he was also treated with consideration. About o'clock this morning both Cunliffe and his in- quisitors grew hungry and at that hour a recess was taken while messen- gers were sent for something to eat.
 After Cunliffe had been placed in the central station he was visited by Harry Moore. director of public safe ty, but out of courtesy to the Pinker- tons he refrained from questioning Cunliffe concerning the theft of the money. Director Moore expressed the belief that Cunliffe Is not constitution ally wicked. He thinks he is simply morally weak and that the theft was the result of an irresistible impulse.
 While the director did not make a declaration in as many words, 1t Is the impression that he will see that the court possesses all the information con cerning the man before he is sentenced. With proper environments I believe Cunliffe would be honest" said Direc- tor Moore Tn fact. I am sure of If. He is not felon or a criminal, but the fact remains certain that he is terribly weak"
