MANIAC FIRED
into A CROWD;
ONE KILLED

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Fifteen men bat
tied with each other in a mad effort to
escape from a barber shop at 1921
Wentworth avenue when raving
maniac rushed into the room and be-
gan shooting into the crowd with a
double barreled shotgun. The mad
man, Michael La Porte, who lives over
the shop, shot and instantly killed Luigi
La Grasso, aged 3S. Mrs. Guiseppina
Gallina, who was fleeing with her g.
month old baby, had her right arm
torn off. and Michael Granato was al
so badly injured.
AS he entered the crowded room La
Porte made the remark that he was
going hunting for big game and then.
taking deliberate aim at Granto, he
fired, striking La Grasso, who was just
entering the door.
Cries of horror and fear were heard
as the men jammed and pushed each
other trying to escape. Chairs were
overturned and glass broken in the
mad rush for the door.
After shooting La Grasso, La Porte
again aimed his gun at Granato, and
this time wounded him. Then run

went into the backyard and, seeing
Mrs. Gallina at the top of a flight of
stairs, shot at her. She held her g.
month-old child in her arm which was
completely torn off. Both the mother
and the child fell to the bottom of the
stairs but the baby was untouched by
the shot, although cut from the fall.
Police at the Twenty second street

scene. At the sight of the officers the
murderer began loading his gun again
and shot at Wheeler and then ran un-
der the stair case. Wheeler ran to the
first landing on the stairs and from
there jumped down upon La Porte and
captured him, just in time to save Of
ficer MaIoney from being shot.
The injured were taken to the Peo-
pies hospital. La Porte, after being
arrested, confessed that he had done
the shooting. but refused to give
reason for it.
La Porte, according to the police,
has been insane for several months. On
May 8, early in the morning, a distress
call came to the station, saying that
a burglar was on top of neighboring
house. Investigation showed that La
Porte was playing the role of Santa
Claus and talking down the chimney.
AIter vain attempt 10 reacn the man
the police turned in fire alarm and,
after a mad chase from the top of the
one building to the next, the man was
captured
He was later examined by the city
physician and discharged. Yesterday
1t is charged, he became violently en-
ragged about something and declared he
was going to shoot everyone in the
house. He became quieted, however,
and yesterday morning seemed to be
normal.
Mrs. Gallina, whose arm was torn
off. is probably fatally injured. At first
it was thought she would recover, but
late tonight It was stated that her con-
dition was critical. Michael Granato,
who was shot in the right arm. will re-
cover.

Paris, Aug. 19.-The visit of Premier
Poincare to Russia has made it pos
sibIe for the French president to visit
the czar in the near future, 1t is state
ed, which would necessitate a return
visit as matter of diplomacy.
In the meantime Paris has been
learning something of late of what it
takes to entertain kings and queens.
The expression treated royalty" will
now have definite meaning for the
people of the French capital. Figures
show that 1t cost Paris something
more than $3,O0o,000 to be host for the
czar of Russia on his memorable visit
which marked the French Russian al
lance, but only '$56,000 was spent to
give the king of Sweden a good time,
while in Paris. Three times that
amount was dispensed when King Al
fonso visited Paris and an anarchist
threw bomb at him. The king of
Portugal was comparatively a cheap
guest, costing only about $4,000. on
the king Of Norway $4,000 was ex-
pended, on the king of Italy $S5,000 and
on the late king Of Denmark $4,000.
