TRAGEDY AT MoNDAMIN
JIG. Park Shoots and Kills
His Wife

Mondamin was Mortified this
morning to learn that j. C.
Park, living east of town on
the Jardine farm, had shot and
killed his wife about eight
o'clock. The cause leading up
to the tragedy is not entirely
clear but it is thought to he a
combination of whisky and. jeal-
ousy. Mr.. Park was in Or aha
Monday and while there pur-
chased a revolver and a gallon
of whisky. A quarrel was
started when the husband de.
manded a letter which the wife
had and which she refused to
give up. Her married daugh-
ter was the only eye witness
as the two small children, aged
six and nine, had gone to
school; but two shots were fired,
one entering her left arm and
thro' chest into heart and the
woman expired almost instant
| ly. The frenzied man at once
|telephoned the sheriff's office
and told what he had done and
told them he would start inn
meaiately for Logan and give
himself up. He was overtaken
by an automobile and lodged in
the county Jail a short time
after the tragedy
The letter which caused all
of the trouble is now in the
possession of Sheriff Rock but
the contents have not been Civ
en- out.
The murderer is AZ years old
and his wife was a few years
his junior. She has a daughter
lby a previous marriage, who is
married and lives in the neigh
iberhood. ln Jail today he ex-
, pressed his sorrow for the deed
he had committed and assured
all that if it were in his power
to right matters he would adopt
an ntirely different course but
says he was driven to despera-
tion.
Mrs. G A Walker returned

4 meeting of the executive commit tee of the Eastern Connecticut asso- ciation football league was held Tues day evening at TaftS station to decide upon the date and place for the play . ing off of the tie between Plainfield and Taftville for the Bulletin cup. After considerable discussion it was decided to play the game on Sayles field, Bal tic. Saturday afternoon. It was also decided to have an expert referee from Providence and neutral linesmen. The kickoff will be at 2.30 and in the event of there being a tie at the end of the playing time extra playing will take place. This game will be of unusual interest to the lovers of the British pastime and will be game that will be hard fought from the kickoff to the fnish-,
 These two teams met last week at Plainfield, in which Plainfield snatched a victory in the last few minutes of It was proposed at the meeting to play the deciding game on the Acad- erny campus, but this proposition met with little favor. From the standpoint of the fans 1t would have been a more appropriate place for the battle, as it is easily reached and would not make the expenses of the two clubs any more and besides the campus is one of the best high school grounds in the state

Than wins"
 That announcement following the desperate battle in which Sam Lang ford, the negro fighter, beat Harry Wills marks the climax of what is perhaps the most remarkable career in the prize ring. Langford. beaten all the way, fat old and out of condi- ton. cut loose a short arm jab to the jaw that knocked the saddle-co rival silly and paved the way to the quick knockout.
 They may sing their praises of fighters big and small. but Sam Lang ford comes nearer being the greatest prizefghter of the time than any other.
 In looking over his record it is found there is record of 102 fights he has unknown he came down from Nova Scotia and commenced fighting. In these fights he has a record of 1106 rounds, which means about six rounds to the batrIe-and all that can be found in the record is four legitimate defeats.
 Than has fought them all. In one season he met Joe Cans and Jack Johnson-which is considerable range of weight. for anyone, and he has fought all over the world.
 In one year he fought in New York. 0du ETduClScO, -1fOnQOn, Wlnn1D6g ana Australia and France, which caused him to travel some.
 Langford was born, according to the dope, on March 4, 1886, at Weymouth, Nova Scotia. There are rumors that the date is not accurate, but Than vows that is the time as far as he re- members
 He was little bit of a fellow, just getting over feet inches. but, like his prototype, Joe Walcott, he is large of the shoulders and chest, with won derful recuperative powers. His arms are short and heavy and his grin is imperishable. He can get mad in a flftieth of a second and be laughing before that second is ended, which is another of Waicott's peculiarities
 One of the odd things about his rec ord is the number of times he has battled with the same opponents There are four goes with Jim Flynn and six with Sam McVey, but the Than remain a tie between Jim Bar ry and Joe Jeannette, with Jeannette still having chance to win that honor.
 Jim Barry and Langford fought Il times before Barry finally would ad- init that he could be beaten, and thus far Jeannette and Than have fought II times.
 Langford has practically been in continuous training for Il years. has met all corners and has chased all champions with never a crack at the heavyweight title. Jack Johnson never wanted any of his game even though he won from Than in 1906.

 It is expected that the trip will take ten or twelve weeks. When it was first suggested, after the worlds tour last year, many of the business men in the larger cities in South America be- came very much interested and Messrs. McGraw and conliskey have received assurances that they will be well entertained on the trip.

Giants and White sox to Take An

Manager John J. MeGraw of the Giants has announced that as a result o -ftf1e recent conference here last week with Charles W. Comiskey of Chicago. the same two teams of Giants and White Sox which took the trip around the %yorld last year would make an extensive tour of South America the Panama Canal zone and Cuba after the close of next season.
 The plan is to have large party of fans accompany the baseball teams and a vessel vii be chartered for the tourists as when they crossed the tour MT McGraw and--Mr. Comiskey will assume the responsibility for the trip. Mir, Comiskey stated before leaving here thata if there was a de- felt he guessed thaat Mir. McGraw and himself could make it up.
 The managers have received assur- ances that the trip will have the ap provaI of the National Commission and 1t is likely that several prominent of= fcials of both leagues will go with the tourists. According to the preliminary itinerary, the plan is to leave Sam Francisco in a chartered vessel and after playing games on the west coast of South America the party will round the Horn and play the principal cities on the Atlantic seaboard.
 After. leaving the United States the baseball tourists vii stop off at Cen tral America, visiting San Salvador and San Jose. The next step will prob ably be made at Panama, after which visits will be made at Colombia and Ecuador. The next stop will be at Lima, Peru. and then Valparaiso, Chile.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED DULL.
Heavy Selling Orders and Advances
 Gave Way to Declines.

New York, Dec. 15-The outcome of today's stock market, which was awaited with especial interest, because it signaIled a resumption of dealings in the entire list, was said by brokers to have been a source of disappointment to the long account. Initial quota tions in all prominent issues, including the international list, so long under cover, gave promise of a continuance of the strong tone shown in the two preceding sessions.
 With the first signs of a demand, however, heavy selling orders appear ed. and advances soon gave place to declines, which grew with the passing hours. In the final hour these ran from two to over five points in the more active issues. with little recovery towards the close. United States Steel and Baltimore and Ohio were espe- cially susceptible to selling pressure. According to report. European inter ests were active on that side of the account, disposing of fully 25,000 shares.
 More than half of the days busi- ness was transacted in the first hour, the balance of the session being dull and without noteworthy feature, aside from it's dropping tendency. The de- cline was assisted to considerable degree, it was believed, by realizing for profits and by some bear or short selling, which was resorted to despite supposed safeguards
 On the whole, the course of the mar ket reflected conservatism on the part of investors, no less than caution by the bears, who realized that the mar gin between the existing level and the minimum imposed by the exchange left little room for profits.
 Less was heard today of the report ed attitude of the interstate commerce commission respecting the eastern freight case and the fact that the large steel interests were soon to ar range their wage schedules for the coming year, with prospects of a gen. erai reduction, made for further pause in that quarter.
 Reichsmarks were lower, a condition somewhat at variance with the reports of German stock sales here. Bills on London were steady and the markets at that center reflected a, stronger tone
 Long time loans in the local market hardened a trifle, with short dates un- changed. Bonds weakened in sympa thy-with stocks. Total sales (par yaIue1 $2 063 900

BIG RACES FOR CORNELL Harvard Will Row on Cayusa Lake
 This Year.

The Cornell varsity crew will take part in two important engagements before the PoUghkeepsie regatta next spring, it has been announced by the Cornell Athletic association. The schedule next spring will be fully as heavy as that of a year ago, but it is so arranged as to entail no burden on the oarsmen.
 The Cornell varsity crew will row the Princeton and Yale varsity crews on Carnegie lake at Princeton on May Is. Last year the Tigers and Ellis roWed the IthicanS on Cayuga lake. The Cornell and Princeton freshmen crews will also row on Carnegie lake on May Is, the fresh man contest being in the nature of curtain-raiser for the varsity event
 Navy day at Cornell next spring has been set for May 22 and this year the Harvard varsity and freshman eights will be Cornells opponents. Under the implied agreement between the rowing arrangements of the two institutions the site of the annual dual races alter

HUeHIE JENNINGS MAY
 MANAGE YANKEES.
Rumored That the Tiger Leader Has
 Been Strongly Recommended.

Among. baseball men. who had not left New York Monday it was per- sistently rumored that the new man. ager of the Yankees would be EIughey Jennings of the Detroit Ti- gers. It was said that John McGraw had strongly recommended Jennings to Colonel Ruppert and Captain Hus- ton and that Frank J. Navin of the Detroit club had been persuaded to let Jennings take hold of the New York Americans. Those who indulg- ed in this guessing contest declared that the Detroits would be managed by William Donovan of Providence, who handled the champion Providence team of the International league last season.
 On top of this was the surmise that the Providence team which is owned by Joseph J. Lannin, would be man aged by Charley Wagner of the Red SoX, also the property of Lannin. To strengthen the story it was argued that part of the settlement of the con- troversy between I.annin and Navin over the sale of the Providence club was an agreement to allow Jennings to come to the Yankees.

 While the date of the Harvard race this year is approximately what 1t was last spring one full week will elapse between the race on Carnegie lake and that on Cayuga lake. Last year both the Cornell varsity and freshman eights rowed two races inside of four days and made big trip in the meantime.
 In addition to these two regattas, the Cornell crews will take part in the annual regatta of the dntercoligate Rowing association to be held at Pougbkeepsie this year on Monday, June 2S. Cornell will enter a varsity junior varsity and freshman eight in this regatta. The IthacanS will not send a crew to the American Henley on the SchuyiSill.

 In only two rounds the first and third, did Smith have the better of the encounter, which was slow and awkward, scarcely ones clean blow being struck during the bout.
