NEW YORK. April 16.-New reminders
of the ready revolver of a certain class of
Italians and others We're had today, and
served as further incentive. if any were
needed. for Police Commissioner Bingham
in his crusade against men who carry con-
cealed weapons. Policeman Alfred Seliicl,
who was shot. with Policeman Sechler, in
Washington Park on Sunday, died in ST.
Vincent's Hospital. One of the bravest and
most popular men in the department. his
death made his fellow policemen all the
more active in their hunt for desperadoes
who go about armed with stlettoes and re-
volvers. 1t was expected that many more
arrests would be made in addition to the
100 or so that We're made last night.
A quarrel between cousins, which was fol-
lowed by duel. a probable murder and
finally suicide, the police record for
Ozone Park last night The police say that
the quarrel originated over a woman with
whom both cousins were in love.
Vincenzo Cica. twenty Eight years old.
was the one who wounded the other and
then shot himself. the police declare. The
man wounded is Bucu Tianbino. twenty-five
years old
Duel in the Street.
The quarrel began early last evening. At
about II o'clock the two men met by
chance in front of their homes, and whip
ping out revolvers opened fire on each
other. a bullet from Cica's weapon lodged
in the right side of Tianbino's head. Cica
escaped in the confusion with a large
crowd at his heels. Dr. Pettingill was
called to the scene from St Mary's Hos
pital When he arrived Tian bnO was in
critical condition.
For two hours Cica remained out of
sight. At l O'Clock this morning, after the
neighborhood had been thoroughly searched
home and went upstairs. The police got
wind of the fact he was there and were
after him in moment.
Shot Sounded Out.
Just as they entered the hall a shot
sounded out above, and when they invesl-
gated they found Cica dead on the floor of
his room shot in the head.
Police Commissioner Bingham has de-
cided that if you can't reduce crime in this
city by moral suasion, you can help lot
by removing the means of committing il.
especially among the Italian population.
For this reason the commissioner has be-
gun roundup of all Italians who can be
found carrying concealed weapons.
Yesterday he sent out a general order
asking that as many detectives as could be
spared be detailed from every precinct IN
which there We're settlements to seek out
and arrest every Italian they could find
with revolver. dirk, stiletto or other
weapon which the law does not recognize
as legal TO carry without license.

Pittsburg.-D. G. Davis, million.
aire banker. and oil operator, of n,
rietta, Ohio. lost $4,000 in a cleyo,
little bunco game in New York soma
time ago, and in Alderman Too,e,.
court he told the story of how he wa,
victimfzed into not only losing his
money, but, after $4,000 had bee,
dropped, how he chartered a specia,
train to go back to- Marietta afte,
$4,000 more.
During the hearing Davis, who il
a director in the German National
Bank of Marietta, stated that ba
knew it to be a fact that many Pitts.
burgers have been swindled by the.
same scheme. He gave it as his opin-
ion that the trio of alleged confdenca.
men whom he accuses have cleaned
up more than $1,O00,000 in the past
two years. At least two men ara,
said to have been ruined financially
by the scheme.
Davis told his story at the hear
ings. of w. J.. (Jake) Adams and
Frank B. Ranger, of Pittsburg, and
Frank Thompson, of New York.
These, are the men who Davis alleges
defrauded him of the $4,000. AT
the conclusion of the hearing Alder.
man Too1e stated that while he.
would reserve his decision for a week
he would no doubt dismiss the com.
plants because of lack Of jurisdie-
ton.
Former Mayor ". e. Sykes, of Ma
rietta, counsel for Davis, was arrest
ed at the conclusion of the hearing
on warrant sworn out by Ranger,
charging him with conspiracy to in
dict. He at once gave bail.
Davis said that he was first ap-
preached by Ranger and John &.
Curry, of Marietta, last September.
They told him that Thompson was
the dealer in a faro game in New
York, and wanted to get ever with
the syndicate which employed him.
Davis vas induced to take $4,000 to,
New York, and was 60 play in the
game with the money. Thompson, it
was agreed, would deal the cards SO,
that Davis would win 100000.
After arriving in New York Davis
was taken to the Imperial Hotel, and
from there to a house just of CoIum-
JUS dNSAuC LA1SS UlOChS OA1 INC
Majestic Hotel. The first night Da-
Wis lost his $4,000 the gamblers ex--
planned that a mistake had been
made, and on October 20 Davis went
against the game again with $4,000
and lost the money.
The next morning he chartered a
train from New York to Marietta
and, securing $4,000 more, hustled
back to New York. determined to Win
at any cost. Again he lost. Curry.
the witness testified, then took pity
on him and told him that he was BE-
ing swindled. Unable to get his
money back, Davis sued the trio.
When Davis had finished, Curry
was placed on the stand and corrOO-~
grated his testimony. Curry declared
that Ranger and Thompson had told
him that Davis was the biggest
sucker ever born.

CROP CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
Railroad Official Finds No Diminu-
-, ton in Traffic ON Roads.

New York tCity.-W. C. Brown,
senior vice-president of the New
York Central lines, said that in his
recent trip through the West he
found that the improvement in crop
conditions had been pronounced. He
believes that if the favorable weather
in the West continues crops will
reach a state of development nearly
equal to that of previous years, when
the conditions earlier were normal.
Speaking more in detail regarding
weather and crop. conditions in the
West, he said that warm rains, fol-
lowed by warm weather, had forced
the crops ahead with almost remark
able rapidity. -..4s<
Mr.. Brown also said that he was
unable to discover any falling off in
business in the West or in the traffic
of the railroads. The New York Cen
trail lines are getting all the business
they can handle promptly. At. this
time last year these lines had new
equipment amounting to about $685.
000, 600 under, contract. At the pres
ent time they have no new contracts
for equipment outstanding, princi-
pually because OF the inability of all
railroads to get additional capital on
favorable terms. Mr.. Brown believes
that If the railroads are compelled
to withhold orders for, new equip
ment much longer their action will
not be reflected to a very great ex-
tent in general business, but that nat
ura1ly the equipment manufacturing
companies and, the manufacturers Of
the materials used in the construction
of Ears and locomotives will exper-
fence a material .slackening in their
output. s
