SEEK KICHER-UPS
IN BAFF MURDER

New York. Feb. IA grand jury
began today to take evidence concern
ing the murder of Barnett Baff, the
poultry dealer who was killed by a
band of gunner in November, 1914,
under circumstances which have been
likened in some respects to the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal for the insti-
CATION of which Charles Becker was
executed. There has been nothing
however, intimating that police are in
any way involved in the Baff case.
1t is charged that Baff was slain as
the result of rivalry in business, that
fund of $4,000 was collected from
about two hundred poultry merchants
under the pretense that it was to be
used in legal fight against Baff and
that this fund was used by murder
steering committee" of II men to en-
ploy agents who employed the gun
men who shot Baff to death.
District Attorney Swami believes he
has enough evidence to send to the
electric chair four men in addition to
some of the gunner who actually did
the murder. These men are said to
have had the distribution of the muir
der fund. The district attorney said
that if it is proven that the twelve
members of the steering committee
knew all the steps taken in the muir
der conspiracy each of them would be
in the same legal position as was
Becker in the Rosenthal case.
Many of the poultry dealers who as
sert that they contributed innocently
to the fund used to finance Bats MUIR
der have voluntarily given information
to the district attorney Mr.. Swami
today issued an appeal to the other
merchants who contributed to the
fund to give him the names of the
members of the murder committee.
Much Of the evidence thus far OBJ
tanned by the district attorney was
given by Frank Ferrara. who says he
was chauffeur of the automobile in
which the gunner went to kill Baff
and in which they escaped after the
crime.

New York, Feb. Hooper contin-
ued to dominate the stock market, but
was somewhat curtailed around noon
by the storm which interrupted COM
munication with western points. New

TALLY to moderate pressure. Declines

Reading and Chesapeake and Ohio con-
tributed to the heaviness of the issues.
Crucible Steel, Studebaker and others
in the war group followed the unsteady
course of Baldwin Locomotive company
and the United States Steel was dis
tinctly reactionary.
Bonds were irregular.
Irregular price changes marked the
renewal of stock exchange operations
today, all the leading coppers attaining
new high records. American Zinc and
Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin Locomo-
among the other strong and active is
sues. United States Steel was heavy,
losing almost point at 81, but making

cialties, including Baldwin, declined on

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Wheat developed

Later, the export outlook was said
to nave improved. The close was half

Heavy receipts pulled down The
value Of corn. Sellers were scarce.

by an additional decline.
The close was steady at &c net de-
cline.
Oats gave way with corn. Bears,
however, were not aggressive.
Provisions showed strength after a
downturn at the start. The reason
was buying by houses with New York
connections. Lower prices on hogs
caused the early sag.
