JOHN MUIR & CO.
 SUSPENDED FOR
 BREAKING RULES

New York, July 12-Governors of the Stock Exchange brought some' thing akin to a sensation into the summer dullness of Wall street yester- day by suspending John Muir and Edwin H. Muir, his son, of the firm of John Muir & Co.,, from membership for one year. The charge on which the Muirs were disciplined was that the firm had taken into partnership Charles A. Burbank under an arrange ment which the governing body held nullified the rules of the Exchange in regard to commissions and partner ship agreements. MT. Burbank was also susended for year.
 The inquiry which preceded the ac- tion, it was learned. had been con- tinued a month before the governors voted on Wednesday. MT. Burbank, who joined the firm a year ago, with drew around June 1, and it was began. While the Exchange auhori- ies limited their announcement of the suspension to a brief statement, the basis for the penalty was that the partnership agreement provided that MT. Burbank should recei\ a stated income and not participate directly in the profits of the house. This, the governors decided. impaired the status of the partnership and was not in keping with the established proce> dure for conducting business.

CHUKA CRUSHED;
 SAFETY DEVICE
 FAILED TO WORK
2,500 Pounds of Brass Pipe Fall When Cables
 Part.

Coroner John J. Phelan is conduct ing an investigation this afternoon into the death of John Chuka, who was killed yesterday at the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, being crushed under the weight of 2,500 pounds of brass pipes that fell from a travelling crane. It is believed that the failure of safety device was responsible for the acci- dent and this is the matter that it is to bep robed to determine the respor- sibility.
 These pipes are carried from one end of the shop to the other by means of travelling cranes and are suspended in slings made of hamper cable. When the pipes arel ifted from the floor there is safety switch which auto matically stops the rise of the load whene it has reached a sufficient height to clear the heads of the workers.
 For some unknown reason the switch on this particular load did not work and the cable of hemp was car ried over the drum which pinched and literally pulled the strands of the cable apart. This caused the load to drop to the floor and it was Chuka' unfortunate fate to be directly un. derneath.

 IS PRONOUNCED

Washington, July 12-Business conditions continue active and satis- factory with general confidence ex- pressed in the future denoted by lib- eral advance buying according to the Federal Reserve Boards monthly summary, issued today, based on re- ports from the twelve Federal dis tricts.
 Labor shortages are emphasized in the reports from every district ex- cept Minneapolis, where the situation is described as good although the effect of the draft is beginning to show itself in the increasing employ ment of women." The Kansas City district, which includes a large part of the wheat belt, reports that "the movement of farm labor is being con- trolled as never before" through the cooperation of the government labor offices.
 Crops were reported as above nor nal in all districts except Dallas where protracted drought injured se- verely the small grain crop. Gen. eral adjustment of business to meet governmental requirements, and un- expected ease in me yting tax pay ments are universally commented up- on. Construction and building. have been curtailed everywhere, the sum- mary indicated, except in cases of government requirements for storag and housing. Money rates generally are firm.

| tims of their murderouS assault the assassins were frightened away by some boys who were running a road race whom they thought were com ing to the rescue of the murdered men. They fled, leaving $2,OO5 which was contained in a bag hung about the neck of Nicholas Westdyke. As an example of fendish callous- mss the quartet allowed but 15 min utes to elapse before they held up Joseph Tannis, a peddler, but Pag- nillo coming close to him and peer | ing into his face recognized him and | turning to his companions said, Let him go; it's Tanner, the peddler, and he is a friend of mine." The quartet of bandits then disappeared, but were seen by persons who recognized Pag- nillo, coming from the direction of the crime.
 The two victoms were rushed to the hospital, but Westdye died within an hour and De Vries fingered for eleven days before he succumbed to the ter rible wounds he received.
 Pagnillo, was immediately captured | by the Patterson police and net spread for the others. Detective | Sergeant Bray of the Bridgeport bu- reau was assigned to the case by Cap | tain B. O. Cronan, chief of the detec- | tive bureau, and within an hour had | bagged Ferrarro, who had come back to Bridgeport.

Pa While in this city he learned that two men answering the description of the fugitives had been arrested in Holli
 daysburg, charged with trespassins on railroad property. He went tc the latter town and the prisoner
 were routed out of their beds at 1:3( in the morning when he visited tht
 jail.
 The visitors were lined up and ou

 aliases of Reynolds and Dorkin.
 He brought them back to Patterson
 and turned them over to the police o
 that city. Bray received the thank
 of the police department of Patterson
 and all the city officials of the Sill
 city for the very efficient service h
 rendered and had the satisfaction O | knowing when he left Jersey that hi three Bridgeport prisoners had plead

LAYS DEATH TO
 DEFECTIVE PLANE

Washington. July 12-Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, who made an investigation of the American aircraft program at the request of President Wilson, in an open letter read last night at a meeting here of the Amer ican Inventors Association, discredit- eF the belief that the accident that caused the death of Major John Pur- roy Mitchell, former mayor of New York, in an aviation accident at Gerstner field, Louisiana, was the failure of the aviator to fasten him self in his plane. Borglum in his let ter intimated that it was the result of defective plane.
 American training planes show a greater casualty list than those. of any other nation, Borglum said He charged that a lot of aeroplanes re- gently sent abroad caused the death of an aviator in much the same manner as former Mayor Mitchell was killed.
