 pIosion at Indiana. Pa.

TEN IN MURDER PLOT.
According to Confession Regarding
 Killing of Barnet Baff,

New York, Feb. 12.-Ten men were concerned in the murder plot which resulted in the killing of Barnet Baff, the independent poultry dealer, &C., cording to a confession made today, the police say, by Frank Ferrara chauffeur of the murder car from which Baff was shot down. Seven men, among them the instigator of the crime, will be indicted, the police say, on the evidence given by Ferrara and by Giuseppe Arichiello, another self confessed participant in the mur- der.
 According to Ferrara $5,O00 was paid by the instigator to the gunmen employed and to those who helped them escape after the murder.
 Two attempts were made to kill Baf, according to Ferrara's con- fession, before the successful attempt of Nov. 19, 1914. They failed, Fer rara said, because of the police guard placed over Baff after he had received threats on account of his activities against the so-caIled poultry trust.

1 gerated, but they inevitably have an important effect upon this market. Such abnormal demands for capital unavoldab1y mean high returns and higher rates of interest Moreover the marketing of SU,:l vast amour ts Of securities means the displacement
 to considerable extent of other in-
 VeStmentS. On the OtLer hand, those
 Tn charge of these negotiations will
 undoubtedly use discretion and every
 effort to avoid any disturbance in
 financial conditions. In fact to .uc- cessfully market such a mass of bonds, it may be desirable to give the gen- eral market a greater of less appear ance of strength. Furthermor this contingency had been long expected; preparations have probably been made Tn advance, and the effect on security markets will doubtless have been largely discounted when the event ar rlVes. The better class of railroad shares and bonds has lately received considerable attention from both in- vestment buyers and speculative oper- ators. In the industrial shares more or less discrimination is necessary. The so-called war stocks have been handled with more discretion, and the industrials not directly dependent upon war orders, especially steels, coppers and chemicals, are more favorably regarded than others. Many of the better class of industrials are benefitting largely from the improve ment of home conditions and entirely of war orders. Steel 1 trade activity continues unchecked, 1 and many. concerns have sold their 1 entire output for 1916 at top prices. l Labor is we'll employed at good wages, 1 and as the farming classes are also 1 prosperity, the buying power l of the masses is exceptionally great; l hence the outlook for continued trade activity during the coming spring and l summer months is excellent.

LYMAN SENT BRITISH
 DATA TO GERMANS
SWlndler Wanted by US. Author
 ltieS Said to Be in France

New York, Feb. 12-Dr. J Grant federal authorities here on a charge of swindling investors in mining stocks out of s30O,OO0 or $4O0,O00, by illegal use of the mails under the name of John H. Putnam, has been engaged in German propaganda, ac- cording to a statement made last night by post office inspectors. It is charged that he has been supplying men prominent in governmental cir cles in Berlin with information ob- tained from the wife of an English army officer, said to be a member of the British general staff serving in France.
 Lyman, the authorities say met the British officers wife in London, where he went after being convicted in Los Angeles in 1914 for mail swindles and jumping his bail. It is asserted that she came with him to this coun- try, but returned some time ago.
 Member of Stock Exchange.
 Lyman, it also developed last night, was once member of the New York Stock Exchange. He was forced to sell his seat, it was said, because he engaged in the promotion of ques- tionable enterprises.
 Gorham Tufts of Los Angeles, who was one of Lyman's bondsmen when the swindled was convicted in the Western city two years ago, has been on the fugitives trail for six months.
 Tufts told the authorities that he succeeded in trailing Lyman and the wife of the English army officer to Nyack, N. Y.. and from there to Freeport.
 Lyman Is believed to have sailed for Europe on the steamer Baltic Thursday, and the police of Liverpool, the vessels first stop, have been asked by cable to look for him.

CHRISTIANITY DOOMED
 IN LATIN-AMERICA


 tion Predicts Complete Collapse
 of Faith in Southern Republics
 Panama, February 12.-A complete collapse of the Christian faith in Latin-America was declared to be im- pending in a report submitted yester- day to the Congress on Christian Work in Latin-America by the Com mission on Survey and Occupation.
 The report declared that in all the southern republics practically uniyer- sal unbelief exists as far as modern learning has proceeded. The Com- mission asserts that the people in each of the several countries may bo9 roughly divided into four classes of every form; the more or less welI-8 reasoned skeptics and atheists whoE look indulgently upon religion asl harmless for women and for the lowerl classes, but who are themselves indif-l ferent to it's claims; the dissatisfied, if not disillusioned and groping com-| panies of souls who soon pass on toI cynicism and hardness of heart:"I those whose period of doubt anal breaking away is ahead of them asl they are overtaken by free education."
 The report says that a surprising number of the women are beginning to share the skepticism of their hus-
 bands and that theosophy, spiritisn| and similar cults are rapidly takingI the place of Christianity in numerous| sections. Tn Bolivia alone, it isl claimed, three-fourths of the mem-| bers of Congress and of the weII-to-doI business men and nearly all of theI government students are sworn ene-| mics of the church while similar con-| ditions prevail in practically all thel sister republics.
 Reviewing the difficulties whichl confront missionaries to Latin-Amer-| ica the report lays the blame forI many of the evil conditions which itE enumerates, and drunkenness in par-A ticular, to the influence of many1 American and other foreign businessa agents who have invaded the southernI countries in search of trade
 The Commission finds. however, that the racial animosity between theH northern and southern halves of tfeE Western hemisphere is sudsiding andA says that the cooperation of several powers in the Mexican crisis hasa helped to bring about a much bettorA feeling .s.-..
 In conclusion the Commission de-z clares that the present plans and for-H ces of the Protestant church in theH Latin-American field are "pathetf- cally inadequate' and that there fsA urgent need of large and immediateE reinforcement. It urges the perfect ing in some form of thoroughly rep- resentative central agency to carry on H the work of evangeIization.
