BILLY BOY A SUICIDE

(By r. Madison, staff correspondent
of the United PreSS)
SAN BERNARDlNO, Oct. 16.-Rilly
Boy, the Piute murderer, is dead. With
his only remaining cartridge he sent
a bullet through his brain and died in
the granite fortress where he made a
desperate stand against the sheriff's
posse last week. The Indians body
was cremated on a hastily constructed
funeral pyre by the officers who ran
him to death on the Colorado desert,
the sandy home Of his Indian fore
fathers.

ALABAMA IRON DECLINES
 WHILE STEEL IS ACTIVE

New York, November H.-The principal features of interest in pig iron last week were sales of speculative Alabama Iron at a decline of from 50 cents to $l a ton and larger transactions in basic iron at concessions in eastern Pennsylvania. One or two Alabama furnace companies notified purchasers that carrying charges will be levied on Iron in stock after specific dates The result was a drop from $i5 to s14 a ton for No. ? foundry. North ern iron also sold at concessions for this years shipment.
 The aggregate sales of foundry iron in the eastern territory were from 250o0 to 5000 tons.
 Sales of basic aggregated about 5O,oo0 tons at SIS. 50 to s1s delivered.
 Steel products have continued active. Hardware and other manufacturers have placed additional orders for open-hearth. Orders for rails aggregated only about 2000O tons. Car orders, however, have been heavy, aggregating 170o0.
 Wire products continue active and heavy specifications for sheets and tin plate have been induced by the recent advance of 10 cents a box on plates and $1 to 8 a ton on sheets. Structural or ders aggregated about 25,0o0 tons

WILSON MAY RETIRE.
Rumor Is Again Revived in Agricul
 tural Department.

Washington, November N.-(Special.)- J. The story is revived that Secretary Will son of the Agricultural Department Is soon to retire. He has completed a long CT term as cabinet minister than any other cabinet officer in the history of the government.
 Last spring the story was first given currency that the friend of farmers, as he is called, was soon to retire from President Tafts cabinet, but Secretary Wilson lost no time in denying the re- port, which has at intervals appeared since in the newspapers.
 It is charged that Secretary Wilson 8 department Is a most expensive one, and 1t Is growing at such rate that 1t seems impossible to economize in any of it's many bureaus. Whether this fact has anything to do with the rumor of q change is not known but the understand ing is that President Taft feels the time has come when a new hand might be placed in charge of the Agricultural De- partment with good results
 Secretary Wilson is over 75 years old, and is the oldest member in the cabinet. He shows this age, and this might have a bearing on the case. Representative Scott of Kansas is most prominently mentioned as Secretary Wilson's possible successor.

"ENL iGHTENED" CHINA.
Parents of Fine Boy Are Grossly De-
 ceived.

Hong Kong, November 2.-Although China is waking up'' there remains enough of the old mediaeval methods to prevent the Celestial Empire overriding the western world in the race for up-to- dateness Witness the following incident:
 A fine baby boy was born, shortly after the dfath of the late Emperor, to an humble peasant family In Yunnan prov ince. Happening to see and admire the child, a brainy Buddhist monk told the parents that the baby had been chosen by the spirits to take the place of the present Emperor on the throne.
 The delighted parents immediately re- wared, the monk with $30S with which he disappeared Meanwhile the report that a baby Emperor was in their midst made great stir among the neighbors, and there was a demonstration so alarm ing that troops were sent to the district.
 An official inquiry followed, with the re- suit that the father and mother of the wonderful baby were put to death. The life of the false Emperor however, was spared.
