WEEK OF PLEASANT WEATHER
Comparatively Warm, With No Rain
Is Official Prediction.

Warm weather for the entire week, at
least in this part of the country, is prom
ised in the weekly forecast of the weather
bureau. which says that temperatures
above the seasonal average will prevail
throughout the country during the com
ing week, with precipitation generally
light and confined to the northern bor-
der states, the northwest and the Pacific
coast states" Which means that Christ
mas shoppers will have pleasant weather
for the wind-up of the annual orgy of
gift-guying. and that they are not likely
to need raincoats OF rubbers
The only cold weather in prospect dur
ing the entire week is scheduled to strike
somewhere up about Medicine Hat the
end OF the week. This cold snap will
not reach the Atlantic coast states until
some time next week, even if it gets
here then-it is only indicated" as yet.

Man He Held Up.

NEW YORK, December 16-Amelio
Prince, said by the police to be a
notorious Black Hand leader, was shot
and killed early today in a bakery ir
upper New York. According to the story

lucci, the owner. when he was shot by
Gallucci's nephew, who escaped.
The police say that Prince has four
times been under suspicion Of having done
murder. In each case the police found
witnesses by whom they expected to send
Prince to the electric chair, but when the
grand jury was ready to hear the evil
dence the witnesses We're strangely miss
