ALLEGED BURGLAR SHOT AT EAST LAKE Louis Newton Wounded By
 J. E. Smith Last Night WAS ENTERING HOUSE Would-Be Burglar Shot By Citizen When He Returns For Shoes
 After Being Frightened Away
WAS ENTERING HOUSE

Louis Newton. alias August Smith, an escaped convict from the Speigner prison camp, was shot and probably fatally wounded by J. E. Smith, when he at tempted to enter the later's house, 731s First avenue, East Lake last night about 10 o'clock.
 The wounded man was removed to St. Vincent's hospital in a taxicab immedi- ately after he was shot. Sergeant Lyons and Detective Garth identified the burglar as Louis Newton, the man who escaped from the prison camp on the 18th of last month, with a 20-year sentence hanging over his head for grand larceny.
 According to statement made by J. E. Smith last night, he heard a noise on the back porch and when he investigated he saw white man about to enter the window of one of the bed rooms. The man dropped from the window and fled, but after short interval he again thought he heard someone, and when he ran into the hall he saw Newton reaching for his shoes, which he had taken off before coming upon the porch the first time. He fired and the man fell, hit just over the heart. Smith im- mediately called the East Lake police.
 The police consider Newton a very des- perate character. When seen at the hos pital he denied that this was his name The detectives, however, compared the man with the description which was sent broadcast throughout the United States and found that every detail corresponded with the wounded burglar. A great amount of stuff was found in the mans pockets. including file and several in- struments to pick locks and open doors.

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. known as the worlds greatest exponent of the fem mist movement, spoke yesterday after noon on the equal suffrage cause. For about two hours, she presented areu- ments that were convincing as to the right of the women to the ballot and bravely challenged man or woman to oonfute them. From the moment she was introduced and commenced her ad- dress until it's conclusion, Dr. Shaw held her audience spellbound by her matchless eloquence. charming wit and inc force of her logic.

ominous signs of impending disaster culminated on October 2S, of that year in the memorable crisis known as the panic of 1907. The year 1908 will long be remembered as one of unusual de- pression and distress throughout the country, and the stock market accurate ly reflected those conditions for many months. During the early spring of 1909 it began to manifest strength entirely unjustified in the eyes of the casual observer, but which was shown to be warranted when the great revival set in in the fall of that year.
 The present rise may have been too rapid, and there will no doubt be reac- tions from time to time but men who have made study for years of trade and finance as a science are beginning to reach the conclusion, even through reluctant, to so express themselves pub lfcly, that the present activity of the stock market points to a genuine and all-pervading revival during the pres ent year.
