ITALY CUTS OFF
 GERMAN SUPPLIES

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The en- trance of Italy into the European con- fict will cut off the delivery of war supplies to the Teutons. The gov ernments of Europe have known for months that large supplies of muni- tions have been reaching Austria and Germany from Italy. The merchants of Italy have made fortunes selling to the Germans.
 The purchase of supplies by the Teutons in America will also be stop ped as the sea is now almost entire ly cut off from the Germanic allies, as Holland, Sweden and Denmark have agreed with the British not to allow transshipments.

CONTRAC7ORSFEAR
 LABOR SHORTAGE
italians Now Compose Seventy-five Per
 Cent. of Workers On Big East ern Contracts.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Contractors for the big public and private works now being carried on in this city fear that the call for reservists issued by the Italian government will deplete the labor market and that work will be shut down. The work is now be- ing carried on with 75 per cent. Ital. ian labor, mostly young men who are affected by the order. It is recalled that when alien labor was barred from work on the subways for several months until the state legislature amended the law that almost all work was stopped as fully 90 per cent. of the men working on the subways were not citizens of the United States.
 Many of the big contracting firms will go broke if the Italians are re- called, as the price of labor will go upward and many of the contracts will require several years to com plete. It is estimated that $50O,OOO,- 900 worth of public work is under way in Greater New York

MYSTERY CASE REACHES FROM
GRAVE TO ALTAR
New York, March 11.-New depths
Of mystery, reaching from the grave
to the marriage altar, were probed
today in the amazing love tangle Of
Virginius Mayo, millionaire, New
Haven radiator manufacturer.
Mayo is apparently enmeshed in
the skein of at least three alleged
marriages and one love marriage"
the latter to Mrs. Dudley of Brook
lyn.
From New Haven came utter re-
pudiation by Mayo of the marital
claims of Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo
of Scranton, Pa, who insists Mayo
was a widOwer when he married her
at Binghamton, ~ Y, in 1890. From
Scranton came reiteration of charges
that Mayo was mOuTned as dead for
ten years.
The pail of death was even raised
when Frank H. Cook, father of Liz
Ian Cook, MayO's stenographer who
took her life last week, promised a
personal investigation today of re-
ports that the body buried Tuesday
was not that of his daughter.
Theh present legal wife of Mayo at
New Haven was also threatening di-
VOrce proceedings.
Racked by doubts and perplexities,
Cook insists that the body of his
daughter bore only faint resem-
blance. He is, however, opposed to
exhuming the body until after fur
ther investigation at New Haven.

than half million shares were dealt
in. The day was the least active in
more than two months. Prices moved
in an uncertain fashion, with strength
shown occasionally among particular

decline at any period Of the day. In

about the diminished activity; in
