STOCK EXCHANGE STILL CLOSED
But Pittsburg Financial Situation Is
Said to Be in Good shape

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 24.-As was ex-
pected the stock exchange remained
closed today. In well informed circles
it is said the exchange will not resume
business until next Monday.
The local financial situation is in
good shape and is under perfect con-
troll, according to statements by
prominent bankers today. All say that
yesterdays furry has passed.
The suspension of the Iron City
Trust company last night and the ap-
pointment of receivers for the insti-
tuition has had no apparent effect on
the situation. 1t is known that the
company was liquidating for the pur-
pose of going out of business.
When the embarrassment of the
Westinghouse companies became pub
lie, it was feared a run would be
made on the trust company and it was
decided to place the institution in the
hands of receiver. A prominent
fnancier said today that he knew the
trust company can pay S135 a share
to stockholders.
The receivers for the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing company
denied a report that the operations of
the plant would be discontinued.
The court today authorized the re-
ce1Vers to pay the employees, four hun
dred in number, at Trafford City $685.
900 for wages due from October 1 to
october %, and the $500 employees at
East Pittsburg 100000 for wages
due.

TWO TOWNS DESTROYED
Ten Lives Lost by Two Earthquake
Shocks

Rome, Oct. 24.-The earth shocks
through Calabria yesterday caused
considerable damage, destroying two
villages, but so far as is known only
ten lives were lost To add to the des-
olat1on 1t was raining in torrents.
The cathedral at Towere Di Gerace
was thrown down, as was an ancient
tower which had withstood all the
Calabrian earthquakes for centuries.
The confusion caused by the earth
quake was increased by a mutiny of
the prisoners in the Catanzaro jail,
which was subdued with difficulty.
The troops sent with the relief
trains to the scene of the disaster had
a calming effect on the population.
Only two days ago the finance min
lister inaugurated two entirely new
villages, in Calabria, which had been
built by the relief committee Of Milan
for the victims of the earthquake of
1905. These villages, however, with
stood the shocks.
The shocks was especially severe
in the southern end of the peninsula.
Half the houses at Ferruzzano and
Brancaleon collapsed and many per-
sons were buried in the ruins. At Sin
opoI and Stilaro several persons were
buried and everywhere panic prevail

That's All Rockefeller Is Charging

New York. Oct. 24.-Large crowds
again gathered in Wall street TODAY,
many being merely sightseers. Extra
patrolmen and a detail of mounted
police kept the crowds in motion.
Bankers and brokers having in charge
me pacing of loans for John D. Rock
eIeIler were instructed to make all

cernlng current rumors that impor-
tdHl QeVelopments were pending in
the Union Pacific in the nature of a
segratlon of the investment assets of
the Union Pacific from its transporta-
llon business, E. H. Hartman said:

II should prove desirable SO to do at
the proper time.
You may rest assured that the
whole matter will be settled On a
proper basis when the time comes, but
this Is certainly not the time to dis

HE SHOT The JUDGE.
Man With a Lawsuit Then Killed
Himself.

Laramie, Wyo., Oct 24-William
Lepper, for 80 years. a resident of this
city, yesterday shot Judge Charles w.
Brammen three times at the law Of
fee of the latter, then turning the re-
volver on himself. blew out his
brains.
Judge Brammel1 is still alive but
has three bullet wounds in the head.
One shot shattered both bones of the
lower jaw and another severed the
palate. He has a chance for recov-
cry, but his advanced age is against
him.
Lepper, who was an old man, has
been in constant litigation for the
past eight years over property in this
city which he lost title to by giving it
as a security on deal in stocks He
had attempted to regain the title
through the law, which refuses legal
standing to a gambling debt Judge
Brammell, when on the bench several
years ago, gave decision favorable
to Lepper which was reversed in a
higher court. Judge Brammell later
acted as attorney for Lepper and it
appears that Lepper believed that he
had not properly looked after his in
terests. Lepper returned recently
from California and had been heard to
threaten the lives of County Attorney
Downey, Judge H. V. S. Groesbeck,
District Judge Carpenter and several
other attorneys who had been at one
time or another connected with the
Lepper case. He was in the office of
Judge Groesbeck but few minutes
before the tragedy and it is now be-
lieved with the intention of shooting
been watched by the police for weeks.
Judge BrammeH Is one of the leading
Democratic politicians of the state
and has held many important offices.

UNDERWOOD WINS AGAIN
Takes First and Second Prizes in Speed
Contest for Typewriters.

New York, Oct. 24.-In the interna-
tional typewriting contest for the
championship of the world, Miss r. L..
Fritz, using an Underwood typewriter,
carried off the first prize-and broke
all previous records in doing SO, main
tanning a net speed of 81 words per
minute for period of one hour.
Miss Fritz also won the first prize
with the Underwood a year ago, so
that it is manifest that there is no
chance work about such victories. On
all offered, of which operators using
the Underwood won four, The Under
wood carried off the first, second.
fourth and fifth prizes. The popularity
of the Underwood is also indicated by
the fact that out of the fourteen con-
testants eight used Underwoods.
