Shoots Rich Wife
Who Left Him to
Work i'm Factory
Spaniard Who Won Wealthy
Mexican Widow Lacked
Funds; Tries to Swallow
Powder After Arrest

mortally wounded his wife, Marie Ess
pino, yesterday and made an inef-
fectual attempt to swallow a white
powder while in the Charles Street
police station. He is charged with fe-
lonlous assault. A bit of the powder
which he tried to take was recovered
and will be analyzed. The shooting
took place at 240 West Fourteenth
Street, Spanish boarding house. where re-
Mrs. Nerges lives.
Mrs. Verges is the widow of Colonel
Mordas Zarangoza, an officer in the
army of the late Porfrio Diaz, who
paid with his life for his LOYALTY 10
that despotic Mexican President. She
was married at the age of sixteen and
had been widow eight years. Through
the influence of relatives she managed
to save part of her fortune.
-. When Verges, a Spanard in Mexico
City on business, met her year or so
ago she was living in safety and com
fort with her daughter, Antoinette
VINO IS now eighteen. Verges wooed
and won her, the marriage taking place
eight months ago.
They reached New York ten days
ago. Much of Mrs. Verges's fortune
was tied up in Mexico and it was neces-
sary that some one become the bread
winner for the family. Soon after their
arrival there was a quarrel and Mrs.
Verges left her husband. He went With
his three children by a former mar
riage to live at 209 West 111th Street,
obtaining work in restaurant.
Mrs. Verges and her daughter, the
former under her maiden name, Marie
Esplno, went to the Fourteenth Street
boarding house and found work in
clothing factory on West Thirty-sixth
Street. When they emerged from the
factory yesterday afternoon Verges
was waiting for them. They tried to
avoid him, but he would not be shaken
off and followed to the boarding house.
urging his wife to return. She flung
a fnal negative answer as she darted
up the steps of the house
Like an echo came the shots from a
revolver which suddenly appeared in
Verges's hand. He pulled the trigger
until all six shots had been fired. Two
of the bullets entered Mrs Vcrges's
back, penetrating her lungs. Another
grazed her daughters shoulder.
Verges turned and ran headlong
down Fourteenth Street toward the
Hudson River, fourishing the empty
revolver. Behind him came q yelling
crowd that filled the sidewalk from
curb to houseline.
At Eighth Avenue Patroman Joseph
Sheldrick, just assigned to the dctec-
tive bureau, sprang upon him and
brought him to the sidewalk. After
summonng an ambulance which took
Mrs. Verges to St. Vincent's Hospital,
Sneldrlck took his prisoner to the po-
lice station.
AS soon as he had been booked
Nerges asked for drink of water.
Sheldrick accompanied him to the tap,
and seeing him slip folded paper
from his pocket and drop white pow
der from it into the glass, dashed the
tumbler from his hand.

Will Await Court Decision
ON Plea to Vacate War
rant; Arguments Likely
To Be Long Delayed
Still Tracing Radicals
Lusk Committee Seeking
''Ultra'' and s'Moderate''
Reds in Inquiry Here

All documents seized in the raid on
the Rand School by representatives of
the Lusk committee were ordered
out of the custody of Deputy Attor-
ney General Samuel Berger yesterday
by Chief Magistrate McAdoo, who di-
rected that they be turned over to
Chief Clerk Oliver of Magistrate Nc
Adoo's court, at 800 Mulberry Street.
Under this ruling the records will
be held by Oliver pending a decision
on the application made by counsel
for the Rand School to have the search
warrant vacated. If the warrant is not
vacated the documents will be turned
over to the chief clerk of the Court
them until the District Attorney de-
cides what action should be taken. If
the warrant is vacated the papers will
be returned to the Rand School.
In making this decision Magistrate
McAdoo said he would disregard a
subpoena Chairman Lusk had served
on him while he was i'll in bed ten
days ago. There has been consider
able doubt for some time as to whether
judge can be forced to produce pa
pers in his custody.
charge Illegal Warrant
1t Is. the contention of the Rand
School that the documents were un-
lawfully seized and used by the Lusk
committee. 1t is asserted that the war
rants we're obtained upon false and
counsel insisted that the hearing be
held before Magistrate McAdoo, who
IS just recovering from an automobile
accident.
The applicants said they would
not be satisfied to try the matter in
briefs. Magistrate McAdoo explained
that he would be glad to hear an oral
argument if his health would permit.
No date was set for the argument
1t was learned that Senator Lusk in
q letter to Scott Nearing declined to
allowed to appear before the commit
tee as a witness. In discussing this
Senator Lusk said:
We will continue the investigation
and prove our case by documentary evil
dence. Any one offering any construct
i've suggestions will be heard later,
but this sis no time to listen to soap
box orators"
Seek to Link Radicals
Whether. in view of the decision of
Magistrate McAdoo, the Lusk Commit
tee will introduce at to-day's session
any of the documents seized in the Rand
School raid could not be ascertained.
1t was learned, however, that for the
present, at least, no officers of the or
ganization will be called as witnesses.
They may be heard later.
Among the documents is a letter in
which suggestion is made that it would
be better to keep the names of con-
tributors to the Rand School a secret.
AT to-day's session the committee
hopes to link up the ultra radical"
groups through interlocking officers
and moderately radical" groups
through interlocking officers and mem
berships. Because of the tangled
workings of the inner circles of. the
groups 1t is expected it will take the
committee some time.
The committee is now working on
the theory that the names of many per-
sons of radical tendencies have been
used without their knowledge. 1t will
be difficult to ascertain the difference.

Anybody who charges them with

Department of Agriculture or any one
else' is we'll misinformed. at least
retail butchers here declared yesterday.
They took emphatic issue with the
statement made by Clarence Ousley,
acting Secretary of the Department of
Agriculture. Mr.. Ousley said the
cattle raising industry is approaching
crisis because consumption had
fallen off when the retailers refused
to reflect wholesale price declines in
their schedules. lar. Ousley said
choice beef cattle have declined about
sd q hundredweight, or nearly 25 per
cent, since March /.
Albert fosen, president of the
Brooklyn local of the National Asso-
citation of Master Butchers, declared
competition is too keen to permit
proflteering. He and other butchers
contended the decreased consumption
is due to warm weather. 1t is a fall
ing off which takes place every wear.
they said '~N-'
The wholesale price of beef ad-
vanced three cents a pound during the
week, Mr.. Rosen pointed out, At the
previous price, he said, the consumn-
tion had been fairly large, but when
retailers add the three cents to their

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
IL Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
