Apparently possessed by an insane
lust to kill. Homer Cope. a brick
layer, today ran amuck in his home,
killing his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Louise George, and seriously wound
ing his wife. He then committed
suicide.
Cope entered the room where his
wife sat with her mother. Without
word he drew a revolver and shot
Mrs. George through the head, kill
ing her almost instantly.
He then turned the gun upon his
wife, who covered in a corner.
When she attempted frantically to
rush past him to the door he fired
again. The bullet entered her head
and she fell. apparently lifeless.
Standing between the bodies of the
women, Cope placed the gun
against his head and pulled the
trigger. He was dead when police,
called by neighbors, entered the
room.

SWITCHMEN CONFIDENTLY
WAITING

Around card tables in their union
hall on Riverside avenue, idle
members of the switchmen's union
are playing for fun" and waiting
confidently for encouraging news
from "the front" today. BY a lit
tie after noon they had not yet
heard from officials of the railway
department of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor as to what head
way is being made in it's efforts to
bring the differences between the
switchmen and the railroads to a
satisfactory end or, toward a deci-
sion to call sympathetic strike
among the other unions employed
by the railroads. While the situa-
ton seems at deadlock between
the committees with the business
of the two parties concerned in
charge, it is still declared to ap-
pear quite hopeful for the switch
men.

REPORT

W O'~~S 49, sSao~A W.
NEW YORK, Feb. THE spec
ter of federal interference" al
though denied as far as official
Washington is concerned, hung
over the stock market today and
resulted in conditions bordering on
decentralization. All standard stocks
such as the Hartman issues, Steel,
Reading and most Of the indus
trials were under severe pressure,
selling from three to five points
below the closing prices on Satur-
day.
The buyers seemed to control the
market. AS far as the floor brokers
could learn, there was no real cause
for the drop, and 1t appears to have
resulted from some mysterious in
fluence.
Rumors of prosecutions, strikes
and industrial disorders, such as
are usually current around the ex-
change were heard, but were not
considered sufficient to have caus-
ed the slump.
