Most of the room traders were favor
able to a reaction this morning and
expected II. They lent their efforts in
this direction for the first hour, and
failing to make further Roadway, turned
around and tried the bull side They
were just about as successful as they
mad been on the bear side, and the
market entered the afternoon with but
little activity and with the early de
CiInos recovered and some slight ad-
Nauces
The immediate opening was irregular,
with the chief loss rs on Canadian Pa

MYSTERY
Did Retired Bankers Son
Shoot Himself or Was
II Accident?

NEW YORK, Jan, 16.-William C.
Hall, mar about town and member of
many clubs. son of a retired banker,
living at So West Ninth street, the vic
tim of a mysterious shooting, is in
a dangerous condition in Roosevelt
Hospital, and police of the Mercer street
station are at work today trying to
find out whether the bullet wound in
his breast was inflicted accidentally or
with suicidal intent.
So closely was the secret of the shoot
ing guarded that it was not until early
today that the Mercer street police
heard of 1t. II is said the wounded
clubman was taken TO Roosevelt Hos
pital last Sunday, when he tried to
throw himself out OF a window in his
delirlum. but was saved by two nurses.
The mother of the injured man today
said: My son was handling the re-
volver when 1t went off accidentally
and shot him in the breast. There is
nothing In the case to interest the po-
lice. 1t is purely a private matter"
Roosevelt Hospital authorities adj
chat Hall is there, but would
say nothing about the in which
he received his injury nor anything in
regard to the attempt to leap out of
the window.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE three Bel

which has been for some time under
going training in the duties OF police
men, have about finished their ''educa-
tion,y and within a few days they will
be put on post in the outlying districts.
They will be the first dogs ever used
by the New York police. They have been
taught to obey implicitly any man in a
police uniform, but to have nothing to
do with an ununiformed man. They
Will answer a police whistle. will go to
the aid of a policeman attacked and run
down any a who attempts to run
away from a policeman. They have
been taught to seize the man whom
they are after by the legs and throw
him, keeping guard over him until a
uniformed policeman arrives. The de-
partment is much interested in the ex-
pertinent, dogs having proved very VAL
liable in police work in European cities.

that the county board had not decided

MIR. Davis said it would not be fair
to compel property owners who had
filed tax appeals to pay interest from
December 20 last on their taxes be
cause of a delay on the part of the

Seek Insurance.

MlLLV1LLE, Jan. 1.-two women
each claiming to be widow of the late
Percy Ramsey, who died suddenly in
Baltimore, and both ~endeavoring to get
possession of the body and incidentally
$500 insurance which was due at his
death from the Glass Bottle Blowers
Association, of which Ramsey was a
member, were the complications left for
Undertaken Joseph Cypher to unravel
and decide TO whom the body really be-
1onged.
Ramsey a few years ago married Miss
Nella S. Walker, daughter of Richard
r. Walker, of this place, but left her
shortly after the wedding and went to
Baltimore. There he met Mrs. Lena
Simpson. whom he employed as his
housekeeper. Ramsey was taken I'D
denly sick and died last Monday. Mrs.
Simpson summoned Undertaken CIPHER
nd told him that Ramsey was zhus-
band, and secured part of his insurance
from the Glass Workers Union TO pay
for his funeral expenses.
Friends If the Millville wife tele-
graphed her of her husbands death.
Mrs. Simpson was sent for. apd when
she was confronted by Mrs. Ramsey
she still claimed that the dead man
was her husband. Mrs. Ramsey
showed her marriage certificate. Mrs.
Simpson o having produced the GER
tiflcate, the undertaken followed the
orders of Mrs. Ramsey and ecom
panied the body here, where he placed
II in the, charge of Undertaken Mat
thias Fl. Christy.
Mrs. Simpson was on the same train,
and both claimants of Ramsey's body
attended the funeral from the home or
Mrs. Ramsey's parents yesterday.
