VESTS BOX CAR SHORTAGE
REPORTED RELIEVED

According to a statement in the
Wall Street Journal, the box car
shortage which has been especially
marked in the West has been virtu-
ally relieved. Reports from the car
service division of the American
Railway Association show that there
has been a noticeable lessening in
the demand for box cars, which
would indicate that requirements are
being generally met. Railroads in
Texas were the first to report an
equal surplus, but since then the
same conditions have been gradual
ly spreading. Surplus cars, how
ever, continue to be sent to spots
still showing a shortage.

OCTOBER BUILDING KEPT
NEAR SEPTEMBER LEVEL

According to a statement in the
Wall Street Journal, building activi-
ties of 191 cities in the United States
show a valuation of $s6, 6,172,999 COM
pared with s101,S34,729 in 203 cities
for September. The average valua-
tion of permits per city in october
was s503,524 while the average for
the first eight months of 1920 was
s696,920 per city, showing an in
crease of nearly 100000 over the
October average. From the show
ing made in the southern cities it
would seem that building activities
are increasing in the South and it
is hoped that the expected revival of
building will work North as the
favorable weather develops in the
spring of 1921.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT WOOL
STOCKS 2,63S, 900 BALES

The New York Journal Of Com
merce states that the estimate as
Of September 80 of the total stocks
OF government wool in the United
Kingdom and elsewhere, including
wool in transit, amounted to about
2,63S.000 bales. OF this amount
abount 1.424,000 bales have been
offered at the various selling CEN
tiers since January 1. of which ap-
proximately -1,212,000 bales were
sold. The governments interest in
wool trading will cease as soon as
the stocks are e.liuuidated.

CZECHO-SLOVAKIA TO CREATE
EXCHANGE RESERVE

According to statement in the
New York Commercial the Czecho-
Slovak finance minister has submit
ted a bill for creating a reserve
consisting of foreign exchange to
be realized from sugar profits on
sales exceeding 275.500 tons. All
foreign moneys received from the
sale of excess sugar are to be turned
over to the banking department
and the fund will then be operated
in purchase of crowns in the open
market. 1t is thought likely that
the bill will be passed because of
the present low value of the crown
due to manipulation which in the
future is to be counteracted by use
of reserve sufficiently high to pur-
chase 100000. 900 crowns.

GERMAN DELIVERIES OF
COAL PASS REQUIREMENTS

The New York journal Of Com
merce states that announcement is
made that the German deliveries of
coal under the Spa agreement have
reached the prescribed quantity for
the month of October. namely. s,000.-
600 tons. In fact, this quantity ex-
ceeds the required amount by about
250.000 tons. so there is something
ahead for November's account. This
is regarded in allied circles as the
best evidence so far of Germany's
good will in fulfilling her obliga-
tions.

near Fourteenth street and Third ave-
nue-only Il block from where he this
morning was killed.
A dozen years ago the "Monk"
Eastman gang was composed of gun
men, burglars and drug addiets, and
the police claimed to have traced a
score of murder mysteries to the zone
in which the gansters operated. Their
leader, however, served terms for les
ser crimcs-burglary, smuggling of
narcotics and disposing Of stolen
goods.
The last time Eastman appeared on
police records was in 1915, when he
was arrested, pleaded guilty to rob-
berry and was sentenced to two years
in prison. On his release in October.
1917, he enlisted in the army as a
doughboy in the lO6th infantry of the
Twcntyscvcnth division. He then
was forty-fivc years old
After the war he was honorably
discharged, but lacked the rights of
citizenship because he had been con-
victcd of felony. Governor Smith in
restoring the soldiers civic status,
acted on the recommendation of the
regiments officers.
An incident related to the Governor
was that Eastman had "gone over the
top" on hands and knees with gren-
AIDES with which to attack German
machine gun nest. The enemy fire
was so intense that his pack was
sheared from his back, but he gained
his objective.

RECEIVES DEATH WOUND
Citizenship Restored as Reward for

for Companions.

New York. Dec. 26.-"Monk" East
man, once leader of notorious gang
that tcrrorized the lower east side, a
convicted fclon, but restored to citi-
Zcnship as a reward for hcrosm as a
soldier in the great war, was slain
shortly before daybrcak today by
"some one unknown"
Eastman's body, bearing five bullet
wounds, was found by policeman at
the corner of Fourteenth street and
Fourth avenue. Nearby, on the steps
of Il subway entrance, lay revolver
with five empty shells.
In the dead mans pockets were $l40
a watch and chain, and a Christmas
card. The presence of the valuablcs
indicated to the police that the kill
ing Of Eastman probably was not part
of the prevailing crime wave, but the
result Of a vendetta.
Eastman, whose right name was
William Delaney, had youthful ca
rccr that was lurid even for under
world annals. The son Of wealthy and
indulgcnL parents, he chose as his
companions the gangstcrS of the one
