Several stocks have been exceedingly
strong both ~on and OFF the boards to-
day, and sales at advanced figures
have been frequent and of good size.

shares sold at $11S.75.
There the board sales stopped. Be-
fore adjournment S119.25 was being
offered, with holders demanding, $120
At those figures the market was ex-
tremely strong.
Oahu started at 1872, which was the
basis of yesterday, 20, 40 and 100 shares
being reported sold between boards
at that figure. The stock then flew
up and ten shares sold at 1872 Is. On
the boards the latter figure was bid,
while 1913 was asked.

Lynn, Mass, Jan. "A mass meet
ing Of Italian citizens held in Lasters
hall this evening. to raise funds for
the Italian earthquake sufferers. ended
in riot. during which the police were
called and cleared the hall.
The trouble was precipitated by the
remarks Of a socialist speaker. who
charged that funds raised for suf-
ferers by a previous earthquake had
been misappropriated in Italy. Some
Of his hearers applauded, but the re-
mainder took exceptions noisily to his
statements.
During tho hubbub someone grabbed
the speaker and pulled him from the
platform. The act was the signal for
a general miXup. The two factions,
yelling loudly. came together in an
attempt to rush each other from the
building, just as the police arrived on
the scene. having been summoned by
some of those who had slipped out Of
the hall earlier. fearing trouble.
The police lost no time i'm clearing
the room and the matter of raising
contributions went over until some

by Mrs. George NJ. Webb, wife of
publisher of Pawtuxet. on New Years
eve, is being sought by the police. Mrs
Webb did not eat of the candS and
did not allow any members of the fam

Iyzed two Of those at the top of the
box, and found that each contained
two grains of arsenic, enough to cause
death.
The police have been unable to get
any clue to the identity of the messen-
ger who left the candy. Mrs. Webb
thinks it the work of a woman whom
she does not know, but who. she says,
recently sent an unsigned letter to Mr..
Webb, her husband. The writing on
this letter is said to be similar to that
on New Years card which was in
the candy box. The card read as fol-
lows:

from one who thinks of you often. For
you only. Wishing you a Happy New
Year.
