Shooting of Two Italians
Swells Crime Mysteries
Victims Say They Do Not Know
Why They Were Assaulted or
Who Could Be TO Blame

Two shootlngs, both without any
apparent motive, were added to the
Police Departments list of crime mys-
teries yesterday. The victims were
Italians and each said he did not know
why he was shot or who could have
sought to harm him. The shootings
took place within five minutes Of each
other and both were in the vicinity of
Houston and Macdougal streets.
The first reported was that Of
Gabrielle Palermo, of 100 Thompson
Street Palermo was talking with his
brother, Frank at the corner of West
Houston and Macdougal streets when
five shots were heard. One of them
struck Gabrielle in the right thigh. He
was taken to st. Vincent's Hospital,
where it was said his condition was
rot serious.
No sooner had Palermo been cared
for than another man came into the
hospital, describing himself as Vito
Genovico, of 224 Mulberry Street. He
had bullet in his right shoulder, re-
ceived, he said while walking near
West Houston and Macdougal streets,
when four shots were fired from a
hallway After being treated, Geno-
vico left the hospital

522,757 Fresh Air miles,


That's what The Tribune Funds kid

stop! Look! Listen The railroad
tickets for the, weeks vacation parties
cost $500 68-every cent of which had
to be paid cash in advance.
That's one reason why the Fund keeps
asking the friends of children for
money day after day. Fresh Air miles
cost only three fourths of cent each
but even at that rate 522,757 of them
eat up big sum of money.
Are the miles worth travelling? Il II
worth while to pay SO much for them
ter the Fresh Airs"? In this connec-
tion consider that the highest priced
ticket of all those bought cost the Fund
1901, and that this represents the en-
tire cost to the Fund of fortnight va
cation on the shores of beautiful lake
IN western New York. And more than
half OF this weeks vacations arc nro-
cured for the children on this hasis.
that is to say, the Fund has to pay moth
ing more than the railroad fare.

Walker to Help
Decide Portions
For Searles Heirs
Former Clerk Who Gets
Bulk of Millions Names
One of Executors to
Make Up the Requests

1t was learned yesterday that not
only did Edward F. Searles bequeath
to Arthur T. Walker, his former en-
ployee, the bulk of his $4,000, 900 for
tune, but, in SO doing, placed upon him
half of the responsibility of deciding
just what portions Of that fortune are
to be set aside to make up the amounts
bequeathed to other heirs.
This responsibility Mr.. Walker share s
with his fellow executor under the will,
Lewis L. Delafeld, the testator having
described their duty in this respect
as follows:
"In providing for and setting up the
several trust funds created by this will
and in paying legacies exceeding $780,
600 in amount, my executors, in their
discretion, may transfer, assign and
deliver over to the trustees Of the said
several trusts, or to the respective lega-
tees, stocks, bonds, notes or other Sc
curities, investments or personal prop
erty. which, in their opinion, shall be
equal in value to the principal Of each
Of the several trust funds and legacies
respectively, in payment thereof, and
the valuations placed by my said execu-
tors upon said stocks, bonds or securi-
ties, investments or other personal
property so assigned to the said trust
funds or legatees respectively shall
be binding and conclusive upon all
persons interested under this will"
In Searless will there is no sign, ex-
cept in the word "friend," as to why
he left the bulk of his fortune to
Walker rather than to relatives. To
relatives and a few friends Searles's
leaves in all only $4,144,O00. The COM
pete list of these follows:
Trust funds of S2.5O0,O0O for Ben
jamin Rowland; 100000 for George
Rodman Rowland; $1,0O0,000 for Mrs.
Mary Allen Rowland, their mother and
Searles's cousin. Edith Littlefield,
cousin, gets S1OO,0OO; friends in Me-
thuen, Mass, benefit as follows Ar
thur J. Brown, $4,000; John Ingraham,
$4,000; Walter Johnes, $4,000; Walter
Glidden, $4,000; Daniel E. Orr, $4,000;
Oscar Orr, $1,000. Dan Seavey, of
Windham, N. H. gets $4,000; F. H.
Akers, of Saltwater Farm, $4,000; Bar
$4,000. A cousin, Sarah H. Smith, is
down for $4,000, and Angelo Milton
Ellison for $4,000.
William Shillaber jr., treasurer of
the commercial Advertiser Association
and a son of William Shillaber, vice
chairman of the board of directors of

ceive Searles's stock in the New
