THE PROH|R|TION|STS
LOSE HARD FIGHT
House Committee by Vote OF Ten
to Seven POStpOneS Consider
alton Of Measure Until
March q. Too Late
for Avail.

Washington. Feb. 24.-The strangu-
lation of the Littlefield anti-hquor
bill, which seeks to make the inter-
state shipments of liquor subject to
the laws of state the moment they
reach its territory seems to be almost
accomplished. By a vote of 10 to z
the House Judiciary committee decid-
ed today TO defer further considera-
tion of the bill until March s.
Inasmuch as the Littlefleld bill has
been before the committee nearly
three months this action is taken to-
mean that a majority of the commit
tee is determined to defer further
consideration of the bill until
March g.
Iuasmuch as the Littlefield bill has
been before the committee nearly
three months this action Is taken to
mean that a majority of the commit
tee is determined to prevent its en-
actment at this session. II may be
that they will report it, and even per-
init 1t to go through the House. but
at so late a day as to preclude all
chance of its passage In the Sem
ate
Mr.. Littlefield said today that he
had not given up the contest, but he
has not much hope of winning It, He
may try to have the committee dis
charged from further consideration OF
the bill out before he can even make
the motion he must win the speaker $
consent. and II Is understood that Mr..
Cannon is unalterably opposed to the
measure. In fact, 1t is being charged
that the committee was made up pur-
posely to defeat this bill.
Have Lost Fight
There is some disagreement as to
what the full effect of the Littlefield
bill would be, though that 1t would
greatly interfere with the Interstate
jug trade" may be inferred from the
character of the opposition. Repre-
sentatives of the liquor interests have
been on guard since the beginning of
Congress, and have fought 1t with
much determination.
The advocates of the measure as
sert that 1t would at least prevent
G. o. ID. shipments into a state where
the sale of liquor is prohibited, and
some of them express the opinion that
under sympathetic Interpretation by
the supreme court il would prevent
the importation of liquor even for
personal use. There are court de-
cislons which indicate, however, that
this opinion is in the nature of a vain
hope.
The prohibition organizations of the
country have made an earnest fight
for the bill. Petitions carrying hum
dreds of thousands of names have
been sent and the mail has brought
wagons full of letters. As. further
| effort, the Prohibitionists have main
| tanned a large lobby. Despite their
| work they appear to have lost the
| fight

ton Of Father Leo HeinriChs. who
was shot to death as he vas admin
istering the sacrament of communion
in st. Elizabeth's church yesterday
morning by Giuseppe Guarnacciu, an
Italian anarchist. will probably result
in the dead priest being canonized as
saint, according to the statement
of local priests. In all the twenty
centuries of the Catholic church there
has never been a tragedy such as this
they say.
Father Heinrichs was killed during
the o'clock mass. He was adminis-
terng communion to a long line of
communicates who crowded the altar
rail, and had just administered the
sacred wafer to Guarnaccio, when the
latter suddenly drew a revolver and
fired at the priest. EXclaiming My
God! my God" Father Leo fell
prone and died without uttering an
other word.
The assassin yelled, and. Springing
into the aisle, he waved the smoking
revolver above his head and dashed
for the door. The shrek of woman
threw the congregation into a panic
and while several men rushed to the
aid of the priest others started after
the assassin. He was caught on the
church steps and overpowered after
desperate fight during which he at
tempted to Kill his captors.
Shot Through the Heart
Before the commotion had subsided
the Franciscan brothers connected
with St .Elizabeth's church brought
lighted candles and placed them be-
side the body of their dead superior
where he lay before the altar. The
congregation quickly left the church
| and by direction of Bishop Matz it
was closed for the remainder Of the
day.
The body of Father Leo was re-
moved to the morgue by Deputy Cor
oner Hayes. An examination showed
that the bullet had entered the left
side and gone straight to the heart.
Planned to Kill Four
Guarnaccio was hurriedly removed
| to the city jail, and as threats of
| lynching were freely made he was
| later removed to the county jail.
Later groups of men commenced to
| gather around the county Jail and it
| was decided to take the murderer out
| of town to prevent violence. An au-
| tomobile was procured and fast run
| made to Littleton, where a train was
| boarded for Colorado Springs In

II IS not believed that GuaruaccIo's
statement OF hatred for the priest
hood in general is the real reason for
the crime. but officers are unable to
arrive at any satisfactory conclusion.
T. is thought that Guarnaccio was

LAWSON RAIDS THE
 STOCK MARKET Prices Are Hammered, Mostly
 In Industries RAILROADS ARE WAKING UP Magnates Have Watered Stock Too Heavily and Now Realize That the Public Has Caught On To
 the Game.
RAILROADS ARE WAKING UP
By THOMAS c. sHoTWELL,

New York, August 15.-Thomas w. Lawson continued his raid on the stock market today, paying particular attention to Shelters and Amalgamated. Shelters sold r points lower than the figure at which Lawson began his raid early in the week. The entire list of industrials was heavy. Railroads were held relatively firm. Best opinion in Wall street Is that the stock market will soon recover from the present decline. The close was weak and at about the lowest prices of the day.
 Perhaps the most important develop ment of the past week has been realiza- tion by the railroad managers that it will be impossible for them to make 8 radical advance in freight rates. Several have disavowed any purpose to do so. They know even better than the public that the real reason so many railroad companies are in distress is that graft has been capitalized.
 Common knowledge that the railroads cannot honestly demand a freight rate increase is making the public suspicious of the stock market. -Fhis fact was shown in the past week when the Wall street powers adopted sensational meth ods to draw the public into the market. They had advanced prices to level where bumper crops, elections, cheap money and complete resumption of busi- ness were apparently discounted. But the public has not taken enough interest to

WHEAT SLUMPS ON
 BETTER WEATHER Free Selling Starts Prices on
 the Down Grade NEW WHEAT Is COMING IN Good Rains In Corn Belt Cause De- cline In Prices and Receipts Prom To Be Lareer-Oats Weaker
 and Provisions Up.
NEW WHEAT IS COMING IN

Chicago, August 15-Liberal sales by leading holders caused a slump in wheat prices on the local exchange today, the September delivery closing at a net loss of 1 cent Corn was off 11A@1Ac. Oats were 1Q1bc lower. Provisions were to 121s cents higher.
 The wheat market made brief show of strength at the start, owing to addi- tional rains in the northwest which par tially offset the effect of the weakness of foreign markets. Before the end of the first hour, however, prices had started on the down grade as result of free selling of December of two influential longs This selling brought out consid- erable sales from smaller holders and before the decline was checked prices had dropped from 1A@1Ac to 13s@113c below the highest point. A prediction that the shipment of new wheat from Nebraska and Northern Kansas will begin within a few days, inspired additional bearish sentiment. The market continued heavy and closed weak at almost the bottom. September opened 1sQl4c lower to a shade higher at 9S%Q941sc, touched 94Ac and then declined to 92s4Q927se. The close was at 93q93$c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 570,0OO bushels. Min neapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of AT cars, against 2S1 cars last week and 337 cars a year ago.
 General rains throughout Iowa and other portions of the corn belt were the main reason for a severe slump in corn prices. The September option was sold freely on the probability that receipts will be much more liberal in the near future while December was sold on the theory that it's premium over May was too great. The market was weak through out the entire day and closed oaly a trifle above the low marks. September opened 1s@Ac lower at 7199sQ7634c, sold at 76B@77c and then declined to 751ac. The close was at 75Ac. Local receipts were 16O cars with 51 of contract grade.
 Oats were weak in sympathy with other grains. There was some selling by local holders and also moderate offerings from cash interests September opened is0 Ac lower at 46a4@467sc sold off to 45%c and closed at 457s@46c. Local receipts were 204 cars.
 Although the trade in provisions was quiet, the market was firm the entire day. At the close September pork was up 121sc at $15,071a Lard was 5 cents higher at $9 50. Ribs were 5@719c higher at $S.70D 8.S721s.
