With a few exceptions industrial

making for a large purchasing power.
Except for q moderate reduction on
prices of wire products no new feature
has developed in iron and steel, the
situation generally rejecting the dull
ness customary at this season. In fin
ished lines. structural material makes
the best showing, most mills having
sufficient orders on hand to keep them
occupied for some time to come, while
several important contracts will be
opened In the lea future. Inquiries
are more for pig iron, but
sales are not heavy. Prices of steel
are weaker and open hearth billets
have declined to 1850, while Bessem-
er billets are quoted nominally $25.
Sheet bars command 81 above billets.
The temporary suspension of iron bar
making tended to strengthen the mar
ket for these slightly, and quotations
are firm at $1.45. Orders on hand for
steel bars are sufficient for three
months operations and specifications
are heavy.

MURDER At WALKER.
Mar Kills Another, Takes to the
Woods, Found by Posse.

Walker.-Edward Lucia, a steam
boat pilot On Leech lake. shot
and killed James Boardwell, en-
gineer at the Leech Lake Lumber
company's new saw mill, with a 33
rifle, the shot taking effect in Board
wells forehead, death being instan-
taneOus.
Lucia's claim was that Boardwell
and his stepson, Earl Hover. we're
making a white slave out of his 16-
year-old daughter.
Arriving at the tent where Board
well and the boy were together with
Mrs. B~oardwell, Lucia opened up on
the man, firing three shots and then
took to the woods back Of the prem
Uses.
The village was at once aroused
and men with guns at once organized
themselves as a posse and commenced
a search of the woods for Lucia who
was found after half an hour by Rob.
ert Block, of St. Paul.
Block took the gun away from Lucia
and the man e peacefully with him
and Ed. Rogers, to the county Jail
where he is now in CUSTODY.
The shooting was evidently premedi.
tated, as Lucia went to the place with
a gun, and a woman heard him re-
mark that he was going to shoot both
the man and the stepson.
Lucia's daughter had been staying
at the Boardwell home for some time

Is the increase in the population OF

the little commonwealth will be dis

have entertained to add to her repre-
SentatlOn IN congress. The increase
amounted to more than $4,000, but
this figure is not sufficiently large to
insure an additional representative.
Thus. for at least 10 years more. the
state will be compelled to get on with
two members as it has been COMPEL
ed to do since the apportionment un-
der the first national census in 1890.
The fact that the figures for Rhode
Island were announced does not mean
that the totals for other states are to
follow quickly. The tabulation work
Of the census Office is not sufficiently
advanced to justify any prediction Of
early returns for the states as a
whole.
Rhode Island was expedited for the
benefit of the state legislature which
is to meet next month for the pur-
pose of redistricting the state.

declaration.

One of Trio Arrested and Identified

Hours After Assault
Boston, Oct. 31.-John Taylor, al
aged Waterman, died last night as the
result of a beating by three young
men whom he detected Saturday night
prowling about the property of the
Young Fish company in East Boston.
John Boivin, locked up at Station Z
was first charged with assault, which
was later changed to manslaughter
when Taylor died Two other men
who are said to have been with him
are still at large, but Taylor de-
scribed them to the police.
Discovery of the assault was not
made until yesterday, ten hours after
it occurred, when Taylor was found
in the small shanty at the wharf at
331 Marginal street, where he was
custodian.
James Burke was walking past this
building when he heard groans COM
ing from within He found Taylor ly-
ing on the floor with bruises all over
his body AS Taylor was 67 years OF
age his condition was diagnosed as
serious at once. and he was sent to
the Relief station. Before he died he
was able to furnish a statement to
Chief Inspector Dugan, on which the
police arrested BoiVin, who lives on
Marginal street.
Boivin refused to tell the police of
his whereabouts Oh Saturday night,
but he was identified by Taylor as one
of the men who assaulted him.
Taylor told the police that he was
making his rounds at 8 o'clock when
he noticed that the small gate lead
ing into Marginal street vas torn from
its hinges. It had been fastened at 7
o'clock, and he made the round of the
wharf at once to try to find who had
pulled the gate off. Finally, having
failed to find anyone, he fastened the
gate again and started to make an
other round about 10 o'clock.
He was entering his shanty when he
heard a noise and saw three men be-
hind him He drew his revolver and
ordered thenl-tO halt, but they made a
concerted rush upon him, and felled
him. The lantern which he was car
rying was knocked out Of his hand,
one Of the men grasped the other hand
which held the revolver and wrenched
it away from him, and then the thtee
men jumped upon him apd beat him
until he lost consciousness.
When he came to, he managed to
crawl into the shanty and was lying
there moaning in pain when Burke,
