young and wearing a heavy overcoat.
turned south and ran toward Battery
place. Bealllin pursued a few steps,
then staggered and with both hands
clutching his abdomen fell to the
pavement.
Sharp and half a dozen other men
who had seen what had happened
looked at Bealkin, decided he was
dead and went in pursuit of the other
man. In Battery place, almost at
Greenwich street, Patrolman William
J. Kramer of the Old slip station was
seated on a bootblack stand Standing

Patrolman Kramer said last night the
man who had fled from Bealklns store
ran past him about ten feet, stopped
and drew a pistol. which he brandished
in the air for a few seconds. Then he
turned and plunged into the cigar store
owned by Solomon Epstein in Battery
place. Epstein was behind the counter
and the man, revolver in hand. ran
toward him and cried
Let me in, Let me hide Ten men
with pistols are after me-"
"You get out OF here :" cried Epstein.
The man turned toward the door, but
at that moment Patrolman Kramer came
in with pistol drawn. The policeman
said that when he called on the man 10
surrender the man shot at him, the bull
let going past his head. The man then
jumped into a telephone booth against
the wall, and as he again pointed his
revolver at Kramer the patrolman fired,
the bullet striking the man in the left
leg. Kramer said that as soon as he
had been hit the man turned his re-
volver against himself and fired bullet
into his brain. He was taken 10 the
Volunteer Hospital. where he died al
: 40 o'clock without regainlng conscious
ness and without giving his name.
Meanwhile other passersby had car
lied Bealkin into his store. and an am
bulance was summoned from the Broad
street Hospital. to which he was taken.

not able to tell the police what had hap
pened. II developed he had been shot
twice in the abdomen, but the police
have not been able to find anyone who
heard shots fired before he and the
other man came running through the
doorway of the store,

attempted holdup. and that Bealkn was
shot when he resisted The man Beal-
Kin pursued from the store had nothing

German labor has Enthusiastically ac-
cepted, for the time being, the poor
est standard of life of any working
class in the civilized world. and yet
is producing industrially about as
much per man per hour as before the
war. This level Of life is lower than
that of the Rumanian peasants. and
IS 10 be found only In other central
jority Of German workers not only
cannot buy as much food as in peace
times, they can buy hardly any
clothing. In one coal mine in the
comparatively prosperous Ruhr dis
trict 1000 Of 5000 miners were re-
Gently found to possess only one shirt
each. while half OF their wives pos
sessed no underclothes whatsoever.
In schools attended by working
mems children 1t is generally true
that more than one-half of the pupils
have either no underwear or only one
shirt. Hundreds of thousands OF
German children have no shoes, mill
ions sleep on beds without sheets.
The QuakerS found less than q fourth
of the children in city schools to be
normally nourished. or not very many
more than the number which is un-
dernourished to the point of illness.
Production sim Good.
The arithmetic increase In wages
has ranged In between seven and
twelve times; the increase in living
expenses between twelve and eigh-
teen times. And yet the worker in
the factory creates at least nearly as
much wealth in a given time as he
did before the war. The celebrated
statistical department of the Krupp
works vouches this for its own en-
ployeeS, and the same reports come
from Bavaria and other characters
tic districts.
The total production per shift is
less because of the eight hour day,
and some authorities deny that a
comparison can reasonably be made
or that on a sound statistical basis it
would develop that per capita produc-
tion really had reached the peace
time level. In the coal district, where
tho digger mines in weight as much
II not slightly more than in 1913, his
net output Is lower. That is because
the new law forbids carload to be
cancelled from his pay on account Of
the proportion Of stone il contains.
Labor Is Not IndoIcnt.
Yet the discrepancies In general
cannot have paramount Importance,
and the explanation that German in
dustry IS crippled because Of tho in
defence Of labor no longer pertains.
The person who holds that politics
s. the immediate and precise reply TO
economic facts Is not borne out BY the
Story OF lne laSt years or Germany.
Neither the propertied class nor the
workers have developed their greatest
resistance in times when they had the
severest material burdens to bear.
For the masses the worst hunger was
in the winter and spring Of 1917.
For the propertled class the deepest
depression came with the industrial
idleness Of 1919 and the collapse OF
German currency. But the labor up
rlsings were at times when the food
situation was slowly improving; and
the present reaction to conservatism

Secrctary's Letter.

In the letter the new Secretary Of
fered for subscription two new series
of certificates of indebtedness In an
aggregate amount of about 100000
900. The letter says:
About s500,000,O00 Of Treasury GER
tificates of indebtedness mature on
March Is, 1921, and about Sis. 900
additional on April Is. 1921. on March
l5, 1921. there will become payable the
semi-annual interest on the third Lib
erty loan, amounting to about $4,000
600. The Treasury also must make the
large payments under the recent leeis-
lation authorizing part payments on ac-
count of the railroad guaranty which
may amount TO as much as $500, 200. 600,
during the course OF the next month.
In order to meet these heavy require
ments and at the same time provide for
the current expenses OF the Government
the Treasury relies in large part on the
quarterly instalment of income and
profits taxes due March Is, 1921.
Advance payments OF March taxes
have been up to the expectations. and
although ii is impossible to forecast the
results with certainty the Treasury has
good reason 20 hope that income and
profits tax payments during March viii
about balance the March 10 maturities
of principal and interest. To provide
for its further requirements the Treas
ury has decided on the basis of the best
available estimates to offer Treasury
certificates of Indebtedness in the
amount Of s4O0.O00,000 or thereabouts
in two series both dated March 10.
1921. one series designated rs 2-1921.
bearing 5Ia per cent interest. maturing
September Is. 1921. and the other series
designated TM-1922, bearing 5A per
cent. interest and maturing March Is.

justment of accrued interest in payment

"On the basis OF the Treasury daily
statements the current operations OF .he
Government during the first eight months
OF the fiscal year through February 2S.
1921, show a net current surplus (eXcess

bursements) amounting TO SlS6,115.505.
This showing Is particularly encouraging
in view or the fact that during these
eight months there have been cxtraordi-
narily heavy expenditures. but only tw0

these tax payments with accuracy and
