ITALIAN BARBER
SLAIN IN HIS SHOP
Black Hand Agent Believed
to Be Perpetrator of Muir
der in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-AIichael Geaguito
was murdered in his barber shop in
West Randolph street Immediately aft
er he had opened the place for BUSH
ness today.
Two shots were fired by a man VINO
opened the door leading from the street.
Both bullets struck the victim in the
mouth and ne died almost instantly.
The murderer fed. pursued by half a
hundred men. women and children.
Reaching the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad track. he held the mob at bay
with his revolver, then ran to the Ital-
ian colony IN the vicinity Of Milwaukee
avenue and Erie street. where his coun-
trymeu came 20 his assistance. He is
believed 10 be hiding IN that neighbor-
hood and scores OF detectives were de-
tailed TO search the entire Italian col
ony.
Investigation by the detectives con-
WINGED them that the murder was insti-
gated by the BLACK Hand, and that,
as Geag quito was alone in his shop at
the time, the assassin chose the moment
for the crime with confidence that he
could not be caught

BACKING LARNED
AGAINST WRIGHT
Older Man FaVorite in Match
Today for National
Tennis Title.

NEWPORT, r. L, Aug. 29.-Beals
Wright. playing his old unbeatable
game that has Won him the name OF
being the most reliable and steadiest
tennis player in America, administered
a crushing defeat TO Frederick B. Al
exander, OF New York, IN the finals OF
the national tennis championship on the
Casino courts yesterday, taking three
straight sets from the ambitious con-
Querer of William J. Clothier, by 6-3, 6-3,
6-3
Only three sets were required to de-
eide the match, and I'm each set Wright
was the winner by the score of six
games TO three. Alexander showed a
surprising reversal of form, and his
strokes. while brilliant at times, were
very erratic.
Throughout the match, Wright dis
played the best form he has exh bited
during the present season, while, on the
other hand, Alexander played an erratic
game throughout, and seemed greatly
disturbed over several adverse decisions
of the linesmen. Wright played a splen-
did game at the net, and also covered
every inch OF his court.
The followers OF the tennis cracks are
being good sports and betting generous
iy, but It appears to make little differ
snCe to them whether they are backing
Larned or Wright. Both have been
champions before, but Iarned is the old
or hand at It, and rather more popular
than Wright, so he IS being backed a
;rifie stronger than his opponent, though
more on his popularity than his ability.

NEW YORK STOCKS QUIET. WITH
LEADERS STRONG AND
PRICES HIGHER.

NEW YORK. Aug 29-In marked
contrast with a week ago the stock
market today was without special
feature. Trading was IN fair volume,
and price changes were mostly for the
Better. Soon after the opening a slight
recession in prices took place. but ii
was OF short duration, the market re-
covering its lost ground and in some
instances selling higher than yesterday
ct the opening today. The close was
firm, with fractional declines from the
highest points of the morning.
AT the opening the market was quiet
and fairly strong. Slight fractional ad-
vances were seen in the leaders at the
very beginning, due chiefly TO the in
fiuence Of a better market in London.
These gains were lost, but there was no
increase OF activity or the decline.
On the curb market the chief activity
was in Cobalt shares. Nipissing being
sold and Cobalt Central being pur-
chased.
Cotton Higher; Grain Lower.
Cotton was slightly higher and grain
was of a fraction. Professional ira ders
are beginning to sell their stocks, be
lieVing that the market has had such
sustained advance that a reaction IS
due. even if the list is TO be advanced.
The big insiders are stubbornly holding
10 the bull side Of the market. They
say that their plans call for materially
higher prices before election In Steel
shares. especially the preferred. The
Hartman stocks and Northern Pacific
are spoken Of as leaders Tor next week.
The selling out for profits and an in
significant drive on Union Pacific were
the chief factors in the decline after

plans over night. with the object OF
TaidinE the leader of the market got
IN wrong. They met such buying sup
port from the Hartman brokers that
they found Ii impossible to hammer
down the prices and gave II up as a
bad job.
Bought Back at a Loss.
During the fifteen or twenty minutes
in which their campaign lasted the bear
raiders sold several thousand shares OF
the stock. which they were forced to
buy back later at fractions higher than
they paid for it. so that the only at
tempt 10 depress prices during the ses-
sion cost the raiders more than the
arodts they hoped to make out Of It
a good many conservative persons
today sold their stock on the theory
that the market has had sufficient rise
since last Wednesday 10 meet a natural
reaction, and they figure il out that
the high prices of today afforded the
psychological moment for selling. The
inside inanipulators OF the market how
ever. do not take that view. They de
clare the market is still bull market
and that prices viii continue TO 90 up
for several weeks yet, in the face of
all efforts to depress them.

uation is vastly clearer, with securities
