The plaintiffs case was about all in
upon adjournment at o'clock this af-

as follows, as developed by the tes-
timony now in: DR.. Hurd had visited
a patient a little off of Water street.
down on the Plains, so-called, in his
car. Upon coming out of the narrow
way In his car. he stated that he look
ed first to the south, as he knew that
a car had gone down about the time
he went in to visit his patient. He saw
no car south Of him, then Immediate
ly looked the other way and saw a
gravel train OF two cars which 1t seems
was in charge OF Lockwood Co. en-
ployes, within five or six rods Of him.
He Immediately stopped the car. but
was struck by the electric car, his
car badly used up, and he was thrown
out and for time was unconscious.

than by touchdowns, which frequent
ly changes a tie or defeat into VIC
tory. The toe of Purinton's which
proved so effective in the game
with Morse High and came SO near
ing daily attention, the results of
which are shown in seven out of nine
goals kicked from placement on the
a5-yard line from various angles. Such
details as the use OF hands and arms
in offensive and defensive to the
greatest advantage is a factor that
might easily prevent defeat. The team
is working hard and deserves the
worthy support that it Is indicated it
will receive.
The gridiron is not the only center
that displays activities in anticipation
Of the game with Gardiner. The Cony
student body is Loyalty turning out to
produce fine cheering section, which
goes far toward the conclusion that
Saturday will bring battle along the
sidelines between the partisan rooters
as well as between the respective
teams which they support. The Cony
cheer leaders and others in charge, it
is understood, have a surprise which
they will spring when they appear on
the field Saturday. Certain particles
of information, though innocent look
ing in themselves, might support the
belief that this surprise will be in the
form of band However that may be
it is assuredly safe to predict that 1t
would be q strange Cony-Gardiner
game which did not yield surprises.

MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. 1S.-President Will
sons re-assuring statement to the
secretary OF the treasury in connection
with the inauguration of the new fed
eral banking system, was almost the
main topic of discussion in financial
circles today.
Taken in conjunction with the COM
pletion Of the cotton pool, it was
hailed as an auguary of betterment in
other directions.
One more step toward the restora-
ton of normal financial conditions was
recorded during the day. when the
committee of bankers and bond deal
ers. which was organized soon after
the outbreak of the war to supervise
dealings in unlisted bonds and unlist-
ed guaranteed stocks announced its
retirement The absence of all danger
to the loan situation enabled the COM
mittee to take this action.
There was another conference be-
twee leading banking interests and au-
thorities of the Stock Exchange rela-
tive 10 the advisability of an early re-
opening of the institution, but the
result was once more inconclusive.
The suggestion that a beginning be
made by daily" calls in bonds and
guaranteed stocks was reported to have
met with little favor in inuential quar-
tiers.
Industrial quarters offered great
promise according to authoritative
trade advices. Buying of finished steel
and iron thus far this month was con-
siderably in excess of the correspond
ing period of the preceding month
and leading mills were increasing their
average of production. incidentally,
some of the larger railway systems
were coming into the market for new
equipment.
Exchange on London was trifie
easier, with little demand. All conti-
mental rates were higher.
The Imperial Bank of Germany
again showed an increase of gold
holdings with a very large expansion
of discounts.

INDENT|FY BODY
OF man FOUND
IN BARREL, N. Y.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The man who
was murdered last night and stuffed
into a barrel, carried to a lonely street
under the Queensborough bridge and
left there, to be found before the
warmth had left his body, was iden-
titled today. He was Luigi Macalusi,
aged 20, tailor, who lived in that
section of Manhattan's East Side best
known to the police as the home of
gangsters and gunner. He himself
had served a sentence for carrying a
pistol. and detectives seeking to un-
ravel the mystery of his death thought
it due to a feud between rival gangs.
Michael Macaluso, a macaroni bak-
er. the slain mans father, made the
Identification. He did not appear to be
surprised and was unable or unwilling
to give the police any information up
on which to continue their quest for
the murderer.
