SPRINGFIELD CLERK
SHOT IN STORE
Was Struggling With Two Men Who
Planned Robbery-Was Fatally
Wounded.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Jan. 24-I
During an encounter with two fake
customers in the shoe store of LYMAN
Saltzman at 157 Main street yester-
day, Benjamin D, Mindle, 35, clerk,
was shot in the abdomen and fatally
wounded. He was taken to Mercy Hos
pital. The strangers, whose motive ap--
parently was robbery, escaped.
Mindle was alone in the store when
two well dressed men, entered. One of
them asked to see pair of rubbers
AS he was kneeling in front of one
of them trying on the rubbers, the other
fellow struck him on the back of the
head with wrench. With blood
streaming from his wounds and faint,
Mindle fell. Game, however, he sprang
to his feet and grappled with his as
sailants, one of whom shot him. The
bullet entered the right side and pas
sed entirely through his body.
Mindless shouts frightened the men
and they ran out the front door and
up the street Mindle crawled to tel
ephone in a rear room and endeavored
to summon. assistance, but could not
raise the central Office. He then stag
gered to the sidewalk and collapsed in
doorway next to that of Panteli Hec-
tors store in the same block. He at
tracted the attention of Sterios Cira-
geo, who called to friend, and the
two carried Mindle to Morris A. Cob
en- 8 hardware store.
Patrolmen Fred Smith and George
Lynch were soon on the scene. Still
conscious, Mindle told the officers that
two men had shot him in Saltzman s
store and had gone up the street.
Capt. Frank Guilty detailed squad
of detectives to search for the assail-
ants. A light snow enabled the in
spectors to trace the men up Main
street to Congress street, up North to
Carew street, where the trail was lost.
: Mindle said the strangers were Jews,
| 80 and 80 years old He said that one
might weigh $50 pounds, while the
other was of slighter build. Both wore
dark overcoats. One fellow wore a
dark cap and the other a cap of lighter
shade, made of checked goods. They
made no demand for money and did not
attempt to open the cash register
which contained only small amount
of change. The proprietor of the store
said that nothing was taken from his
stock.

A REFERENDUM
Governor Smiths Approval Could Not
Be Secured Without It = Republican
Leaders Puzzled Over Their Govern
orship Contest.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan 24.-Restora-
ton of the old-time state and judiciary
nominating conventions will again be
sought by the Republican majority in
the Legislature this year, in bills to be
introduced next week
Party leaders of the Republicans
have been feeling out public sentiment
on this question for the last two years,
and, with the present candidacy tangle
for governor on their hands, they be-
heve the best solution to be found is
the convention system. The three
headed fight among factions supporting
Speaker Sweet, Secretary of State
Hugo and State Controller Travis for
the governorship, has led the majority
party in the Legislature to renew its de-
mands for abolition of the primary sys-
TEN.
The restoration of party convention
bills will be introduced by Senator
Charles w. Walton of Kingston and
Assemblyman George R. Fearon of
Syracuse, sponsors for similar meas
ure offered in the legislature last year,
which never saw light of day. The
bills will provide for the selection at
the primaries of delegates to the state
and judiciary conventions to be held
in September.
There is a referendum on the sub
iect provided by terms of the measures
in order to win Governor Smith over
to their support The referendum
would be put up to the people for de
cision at a special election to be held
in April.
Governor Smith has expressed oppo-
sition to any interferences with the
present direct primary laws, but the
Republican majority beblieve he would
favor change in the system if the
matter was placed before the electorate
for decision.

Dinnerware
TO BE HAD AT PRE-WAR
PRICES
PRICES

After taking inventory, Emer-
son g. Son have decided to dis
continue some of their older stock
patterns in dinner ware rather
than replenish at the present high
prices.
In order to close out these pat
terms they are now selling them
at remarkably low prices. There
are two patterns in Syracuse
China, one 98-piece set at $3.50,
and 101-piece set at $3.50. The
price of matchings being practi-
cally the same as that of white
ware.
Those having used Syracuse
china will realize that these are
exceptional values and those who
haven't should avail themselves
of this opportunity to get &C
quainted with its beauty and
durability.
They are also selling at big
discount The Golden Rod, Shirley
Hampton, and Blue Willow pat
terms in the Maddox English
ware; The Green Band and Fern
patterns in the Bassett China.
They are also showing some
good imported 40-piece sets at
$6.98.
Therefore, if you are in need
of dinner set or need to replen-
ish your old one now is your
chance.
