Killing Him and Seriously
Wounding Wife and Sons.

Shreveport, La, Sept. 16.-Ambushed
assassins. believed to have been mem.
beers of the local Black Hand organiza-
ton. to-day killed John Mondello. ST..
and seriously injured his wife and two
sons Joseph and Samuel. Mondello was
a wealthy farmer of Natchitoches Parish
His home was dynamited early to-day by
Italians. who practically wrecked the
costly house. Mrs. Mondello and her
sons have been brought to a hospital
here. and II is feared they will die.
The plot was evidently carefully laid.
as demand for a payment of $4,000 to
Black Hand members had been made
three times on Mondello. with the warn
ing that IL he did not meet the third
demand he and his family would be
killed. Mondello reported the matter TO
the officers, who had been watching the
home. Some time during the night the
agent of the assassins went to the house
and planted a large bomb in the door
way. 1t went of just as the family
was getting up this morning.
The entire front of the house was
blown out. and fragments of the bomb
struck Mondello just as he was coming
to the front door. He was hurled
through the house and was dead when
picked up. Mrs. Mondello and the two
sons are in a critical condition at the
hospital and may die. State authorities
have started an investigation.

Chicago. Sept. B-whils sentiment continued
quite bearish wheat to-day. those who favored
the short bear side made but little progress in
lowering values. Some of the best men in the
wheat trade at Chicago believe that prices have
been lowered too rapidly and that a reaction and

natural reaction.

date would drive many shorts to and ld-

Of frost and that these light yisitations not
likely TO cause any harm to the growing plant.
There a sharp break in the price Of cash com
at Chicago and the smaller markets to-day, and
this proved a great drawback to the futures.

way common was the answer yesterday
to the announcement of the proposed
merger of the local utility corporations
with the Washington Railway and Elec-
operating company which would place
the local gas. electric light and street
railway companies under one head and
management. About the middle of last
week Railway common began to sag
from the high point of "a. and yesterday
It sold of from 30 IL to 30 II. Seemingly
1t is thought by the buyers of the stock
that the corporation has enough to car
~ without shouldering more. The pre-
ferred stock remained firm at 50 L.
Lanston sold freely yesterday and the
price declined from 90 to 81, but came
back before the end OF the session to

A small sale of gas was effected at

Lawrence o. Murray. Comptroller Of

the rumor that he intends to resign his
position. He declared that he has had
no intention OF resigning and expects to

The report OF Comptroller Murrays
resignation obtained circulation last week
under the assumption that. having been
appointed by President Roosevelt he
has still sympathy with his former
chiefs political aspirations, and that he
would resign to take up actively the
cause Of the Bull Moose candidate. This
Mr.. Murray vehemently denies, and
charges thatsome one has been trying TO

COLD FOR IMPORT
ENL|VENs MARKET
Causes Covering of Short Contracts
and Results in Net Gains for
Many Issues.
sEABOARD AIR LINE DOWN

New York, Sept 16.-Announcement
that $4,000 of gold had been taken Tor
import put a little life into the STOCK
market to-day and caused covering OF
short contracts to such an extent that
many issues showed net gains for the
the day. Among the leaders were Ameri-
can Can both common and preferred,
Louisville and Nashville, Southern Rail-
way preferred and the local fractions
Chino, Can preferred, Central Leather,
Southern Railway preferred and Colo
RADIO fuel made high records for the
year.
ENGAGEMENT Of gold for import at
tracted attention chiefly because the ex-
change rate did not warrant importa-
ton. The loss on this small importa-
lion OF gold, however. would be so small
that it could be easily overcome by
profits made in other directions by rea-
son of the good influence OF the gold
movement. 1t is only a question Of time
when considerable gold crosses the
pecan to pay for the big imports.
Presidents McCrea, of the Pennsyl-
vania. and Lovett, of the Union Pacific,
gave testimony to-day as to the growth
Of business. Both agreed that pros
perity is already here. Mr.. Lovett called
attention to the shortage of labor, which
is the only shortage that seems ap-
parent in the country just now. Or
ganized labor is making outcry in some
directions and perhaps with justice, put
organized labor is a very small minority
If the laboring force of the country and
Toes not count in considering the broad
question of prosperity.
Coppers in Good Shape.
Advance of Chino to a high record was
no surprise. because the coppers are all
in splendid shape. Utah copper re-
covered from its depression last week.
perhaps because the liquidation that was
expected did not take place. 1t is hard
to force liquidation of any first class
copper stock now. when all are selling
Under their proper prices.
Colorado Fuel and Interborough-M Metro
politan were strong. but failed to attract
any following because both have proved
themselves unreliable for buying pur-
poses. The advices may be based on
safe grounds, but Wall Street feels that
there are better places to put money.
Seaboard Air Line preferred sold under
fifty for the first time in many weeks.
The street hears that the syndicate
that recently took control of the prop
arty is cunning for a block of the stock
held in Baltimore. Depressing rumors
were in circulation regarding Union
Pacific. but if they mean anything they
probably mean that some syndicate is
trying to accumulate a line of the Harri-
man stocks and wants the street to
Keep hands off There is nothing but
prosperity in the Hartman system.
