Porter Shoots Down Fifth
Avenue Merchant After
Serving Him 20 Years
Man Had Acted
Queerly for Weeks
Younger Victim Is MortaHy
Wounded as He Grappled
With Assailant

Gullabi Gulberkian, wealthy Ar
menian rug dealer, was shot and killed
yesterday. and his nephew, George Gull
berkian. was fatally wounded by a
porter, who attacked them in their
store, 225 Fifth Avenue. The nephew
died later at New York Hospital.
Following the shooting the porter,
Mugriditch Unitarian, broke through
a group of employees who tried to in
tercept him and fed from the rear of
the store. The police had not found
him up to late hour last night.
The affair occurred in Gulberkian's
second floor Office. Mihitarian, who
has been in the firms employ for
twenty years, decided yesterday to
quit. He received the pay due him
and then sought the elder Gulberkian
under the pretence Of saying goodby.
AS the rug dealer offered his hand
the porter drew a revolver and fired
One bullet entered Gulberkian's heart,
a second his head.
The younger Gulbcrkian rushed at
the murderer and tried to wrest the
weapon from his hand. In the struggle
the nephew was shot through the abdo-
men.
Gullabi Gulberkian's firm is the
leading Oriental rug concern in the
United States, and is said to do an an
nual business of millions of dollars.
Since the outbreak Of the war, it is
reported, the firm has contributed
S5,000,0OO toward Armenian relief
work.
Gulberkian lived at 203 Corlears Ave-
nue., Pelham. He was fifty years old,
and is survived by a wife, two children
and two brothers, Haroutin and Badrig,
both of whom are members of the firm.
Neighbors said that the porter ap-
peared at his home. 234 East Twenty
fifth Street, short while after the
tragedy, but he disappeared before the
police arrived. 1t is believed that yes
terdays heat may have affected his
mind. although fellow employees say he
has beeen acting queerly for several
months

MORE ECONOMY BY CONSUMERS URGED

[ WASHINGTON, May 10.-Rapid Teadjustment of business and industry to meet specialized war demands and abandon activities not contributing to tne war, is shown by the federal re- serve boards monthly summary of business conditions. issued today. based on reports fro mall federal re- serve district. One report said the transition 'is being accomplished with little Of momentum and business generally may be said to be broaden ing and settling on a satisfactory basis.
 A note of concern is expressed. however, over the slowness of con. sumers to eccnomize on food. cloth ing and other materials needed for maintenance of the army. Despite the big government requirements, de- mand jom unusual sources for goods of ali kinds continues stronger than the supply and Consequently the mer cantile and general business situation is described as 'One of intense activ- ity with war needs receiving first con- si0eration."
 The labor supply continues much below the demand and the scarcity Of workmen is new increased by farmers needs. The trend of wages is upward everywhere and few labor disturb ances are reported.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Confress is not taking kindly to the idea ol abandoning its plans fo radjourn. mont about July 1st in order to un' dertake new revenue legislation. A decision on Secretary McAdoo's rec ommendation that immediate legisla- tion to provide more money to iIeet increasing war expenses was post, poned by capitol leaders today until next week, pending conferences with the secretary and President Wilson.
 MT. McAdoo's suggestion was sub- mitted today and it met with instant opposition from leaders and rank and file in both houses of congress.
 Senator Simmons and Representa- tive Kitchen O.

OFFICER HARDWICK HAS A CLOSE CALL NEGRO IS WOUNDED

Jewel Smith, colored, was lodged in the city jail by Policemen Tex Bar ton and Joe Hardwick early this mora ing after he had been shot through the fingers and hand by Hardwick m gun duel in Upper Brewery gulch, which nearly cost the officer his life.
 Smith went on the rampage ana Of fiCeTs Hardwick and Barton went out to get him after reports reached po- lice headquarters that he had shot some Mexicans, hd kicked in the door of. the No. Colored club nd beaten up and robbed a sick man asleep up stairs in that place.
 Aimed with revolver Smith terror ized the entire neighborhood before the officers arrived. When he caught sight O fthem approaching he entered an adobe house and barricaded him self in.
 Hardwick went to the front door and opened this to find himself gag ing down the barrel of a 12-gauge shotgun. The office rducked just as the negro shot, and was almost knock e dorf the porch from the concussioa of the shot. He was partially blinded by the smoke and dirt but fired over his shoulder as he staggered back ward.
 A minute later Hardwick caught sight of the negro through a window and fired at him, the bullet hitting him in the hand and knocking the gun from his grasp. Hardwick rush ed into the house and grabbed the shotgun which had the hammer cooked
 Hardwick is rated as one of the best shots on the local force, which boasts of some crack marksmen and the negro can doubtless thank the poor light for the fact that he had only a punctured hand and some man. gled fingers fo rthe physician to treat.
 The policeman was very lucky, too. for so close was he to the shotgun when Smith fired at him that he was deafened by the sound while dirt and powder stains made his face look almost as black as that of his assail- ant when he arrived at the city Oastiie and turned the prisoner over to City Marshall James Allison.
