PuzzL ling Death
MAY Reveal BIG
CITY SENSATION

Shot twice through the left
breast, one bullet piercing his
heart, Sheridan VI. HunIey, age
10, u carpenter, was Instantly
killed at 4 o'clock this morning In
the front hall Of his home, ola
AinswOrth avenue. Hunley was
clad In his underclothing. When
members of his family arrived mt
his side they found him lying face
downward I'm the middle of the
ball, the front door opNn and his
own revolver, two chambers
empty, ON the front porch 10 feet
away.
While the widow, Mrs. Mar
garet Hunley, and her mother and
sisters, Mrs. Annie Finnigan and
the Misses Esther and Rose Finni-
gan, who We're in the house at the
time OF the shooting, expressed
themselves today as confident that
Hunley committed suicide, the po-
lice detectives are working ON a
murder theory.
When the family retired last
night every door and window
was firmly bolted and locked.
The family is poor, and since the
little cottage was located In a
well-to-do section of the North
End residence district. II would
have been odd prey for burglar

!. Police Officers Busy.
Unusual circumstances in con-
nection with Hunley's death
caused the police to exert undue
vigilance today. Captain OF De-
Electives ID %. Smith detailed
leyery avaiiabl. night and day de-
ltective to the case.
.Hunley slept downstairs. alone.
He kept his loaded revolver un-
der his pillow. His wife, who
has been III in bed for weeks, slept
upstairs, and her mother and two
sisters occupied various upstairs
rooms.
Mrs. Huntley and Mrs. Finnigan
both declare that they heard
sounds Of a scuffle on the front
stairs this morning, followed by
the sound of a heavy body roll
| ing down stairs, and then two
shots. fired in quick succession.
When they rushed down stairs
they found Hunley, bleeding pro-
fusely, lying face downwards in
the center of the hall, and the re-
volver on the porch. The door
was open. The front stairs are
ARRANGED In such manner that If
Hunley had shot himself on the
stairs, his body would have rolled
down in a corner behind the
front door,
Trail of Blood.
Detectives found that one picket
of the fir, Mt stairs bannister had
been knocked off in the scuffle
that the two women heard. There
was trail of blood from the
sixth step down to the center OF
the hall.
If Hupley shot himself. the de-
tectives argue. how did he fall
face downward in the center of
the hall, yet leave trail of blood
down the stairs, and kick out a
bannister picket? IL he shot
himself Why did he open the
front door and how could he
have thrown the revolver out on
the rporch when death must have
been instantaneous? ~

Smith today.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. y.
The Generalization of Ameri-
can commerce caused by the
European war is now a thing OF
the past!
Facts and figures prove 1t.
Your Uncle Samuel has again re-
sumed his big job of selling his
surplus products to other peo-
ples-and that means more and
more work for Americans; less
unemployment. and fewer idle
factories.
| have just secured at the de-
partment of commerce first esti-
mates of American exports and
imports for October. The figures
are surprisingly cheering after
hearing SO many pessimistic pro-
phecies of the ruin ofsAmeriean
commerce and industry"

Listen to these:
A Jump in October export fig-
ures of approximately $4,000
600. bringing the balance of
trade in favor of American ship
pers up to $60,000,000, is the
estimate issued by officials of the
department of commerce.
In August the value of imports
exceeded exports by $20,000,cO0
but since the resumption of trade
relations interrupted by the war
the pendulum has been rapidly
swinging back.
The growth Of October exports
is shown by the weekly figures
of exports compiled for the ten
principal ports of the country, on
which the departments estimates
are based. These are New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Galveston, New Orleans, San
francisco, Detroit, Seattle and
Buffalo. For the week of Octo-
Der 4 to 10, the exports from,
! these ten ports were $34,S90,000.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-For
the first time in many years the
rule of Samuel Gompers, as
president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, is threatened at
the convention here. Delegates,
representing mine workers, gar
ment workers and others inclined
to radicalism, openly asserted
that the present officials of the
federation are too conservative.
1t is expected that Gompers will
be able to retain his power.

FOX farm PLANNED

TRAPPER

PEARlNG. HUNTER HOPES TO
RAISE FuR-5EARERs.

Winnipeg, Man., March 19.-F,urs oi
weight in gold in shops Of New York
and Chicago will be grown for market
this year on a fox farm near Edmon-
ton. That this industry should be
started at Wetaskiwin, almost at the
threshold OF Edmonton. the great pri-
mary market for furs, shows what
changes have been wrought in the
once primeval regions of Peace river,
the Athabasca and the Mckenzie by
the influx of settlers intent on agri-
culture.
One of the most interesting prob
lens of fox growing is that of undo
ing what Il century of hunting and
trapping has done in sharpening the
wits of the fox that it may keep
we'll beyond the reach of man.
Whether the silver foxes will retain
their fine fur and the remarkable
|acuteness of their intelligence when
breeding under half -domesticated con-
ditions of the fox farm will be an in
teresting study for naturalists. But
some veterans of the fur trade are
backing their conviction with $50, 900
that they can produce the skins which
sell in London for many times their
weight in gold and when dressed. for
fabulous sums in the great centers of
Europe and America.
On the Peace river in northern AL

million. where there is already an agri-
cultural population and an electrically
lighted mill, fox pelts are secured in
smaller numbers than years ago. With
settlers sWarming into the Peace river
district to begin farming in that par
ticularly fertile region, and with the
| building of the Canadian Northern
railway, the hunters and trappers see
| the beginning of the end
| But the end is not yet by any
means. On January II trapper ar
rived at Edmonton with $4,000 worth
of live foxes and skins in an automo-
bile. The first transaction OF the sea
son represented a deal Of $24 900,
which included II black foxes, 400
other foxes, 1872 mink, 35 lynx and &c
bears.
All the skins are pooled in London
whence they are distributed in Paris
and New York, finding ready markets
| at $1,000 upwards. The silver fox is
the most valuable and found at its
best near Hudson bay The fur is

The story of Mare Antony's ill-fated
passion for the beauteous Egyptian
Queen Cleopatra is familiar to almost
every reader and student of history
1t stands out pre-eminently as one OF
the worlds greatest love tragedies and
has been immortalized in poetry, song
and in drama. 1t has remained, how =
ever for George Kleine to do it fitting
Justice i'm his production of the Cines
photo drama, Antony and Cleopatra, "
which opened at the Empress yester-
day. 1t surpasses anything that has
been shown in this popular playhouse
All the mighty attributes Of the story
are produced as faithfully by the cam
era as they have been by pen and
brush, and the Influence is even more
potent. as 1T visualiZes the story leav-
ing little to the imagination. 1t be-
gins with the conquest of Egypt by
Marc Antony and his peremptory sum
mons to Cleopatra to be brought him
as a hostage. Her charms fascinate
him at their first meeting and he falls
a victim to her Wiles. His noble COM
patriots and loving wife in Rome are
soon forgotten and Antony rules In
Egypt as consort of Cleopatra, COM
pletely swayed by his passion for her.
The news of his condition reaches
Rome. Messages are sent to him TO
return to his home and country but
he rejects them. His wife journeys
to Egypt to win him back. He spurns
her and Cleopatra insults her. In
dignantly the wife returns to Rome
and tells her story. The Roman
senate determines to punish Antony
and send an army to bring him back.
The soldier-lover defends Egypt and
Cleopatra against his countrymen and
falls In battle. After his death and
Cleopatra has been repulsed in her
overtures to Rome, she kills herself
through the sting Of an asp, rather
than return to Rome a slave. All
these incidents are related on the
screen with vivid realism and hosts
of other interesting details that occur
while Antony is in Egypt Plot and
counterplot make an entertainment of
absorbing interest that holds the spec
tator spellbound from the beginning to

perpetmted on a foreigner in Mexico
must have restitution
I'VE now celebrate the birthday, of
one who is, in many respects, the
most remarkable man of our times
During the last. 20 years Mr.. Bryan
has been the leader of political re-
forms in the United States. Many
doctrines of his pen have been written
into the law. He has stood for peace
peace at home, peace with all the
world. He has sought to raise the
standards of diplomacy. Grape juice
diplomacy and 'battleship friendship
have been the slogan of those who
and universal peace have been his
aim.
Who is foremost in promoting
worldwide peace? God grant that In
time our watchf1l waiting may be
rewarded; that peace and liberty may
come to Mexico If no other way can
be found; if in the end our armies
must invade Mexico who will asperse
the great commoner for raising his
voice in warning against the woe and
desolation, the loss and grief which
must result? What fireside will not
be brighter, what home will not be
made securer by his admonition;
what victory will be made less glori-
lous and triumphant by his course?
