NEGRO SLAYER OF
 OFFICER HELD ON
 CHARGE OF MURDER
Held Fifty Policemen at Bay for Hour, During Which Time Two Hundred Shots
 Were Fired
By Associated Press

Boston. January 31.-Rensey Mur. ray. 62-year-old negro, who stood off 50 policemen for more than an hour early today in gun battle that eentered around his South End home, spent tonight in jail, charged with the murder of Patrolman Daniel Mc- Shane. The policeman. shot by the negro from window of his strong hold, died at a hospital at noon. Two hundred shots are estimated to have been fired before Murray was cap tured.
 William Jackson, a negro who lives in the same house. and Julia Scott, a resident of the neighborhood, were in hospitals tonight suffering from bullet wounds, and a 5-months- old baby was suffering from burns sus- tained while on It's bed in an upper room of the Murray home. The fire. which nearly consumed the mattress, is believed to have been caused by powder flashes from Murray's re-
 volver.
 The trouble started when a woman lodger left the house to tell the po- lice that Murray had threatened to shoot her. McShane and three other olicemen accompanied her back to the residence. They found the door i barricaded and Murray shouted an in- .vitstion to them to come to window i shey did 50. &nd McShaEe started ] to chamber in Ife was greeted with
 three shots from the negro's revol- yer and dropped to the sidewalk with bullet in his abdomen.
 McShane's comrades promptly sum- moned assistance. Lieutenant Dunlap
 at the LaGrange street station or patrolmen from their beats to the
 scene and directed the dispatch of two riot guns to Murray's barricaded
 dwelling. Meantime the fire depart
 ment had been summoned and was prepared to bring out the negro by the use of high pressure nozzles.
 From both front and rear the police fired several volleys into the house,
 but Murray refused to come out, Two patrolmen who worked their way through the house finally found him in the attic and brought him down stairs. When the officers appeared in the doorway with their prisoner the crowd which had gathered loudly threatened Murray. There was a rush | in his direction and 1t was with diff
 culty that he was landed in the patrol wagon.
 At the station Murray told tho po- lice that he had saved one bullet for himself and another for his wife, al hersrequest, but that when they got Into the attack his courage failed him

New York. January 31.-The finan- cial statement of the United States Steel corporation for the final guar ter of 1921, issued today. showed that the corporation failed to earn more than about one sixth of the amount required to pay the common dividend for that period.
 Total earnings of s19.6I2,03S against s1S,918.o59 in the previous quarter. and net income of s11.s22,O2 was further reduced to s7,377.so1 after deducting interest charges on bonds and adjustments of various ac- counts
 To meet the $12,65S,702 required to pay dividends on the preferred and common shares. the directors drew from the undivided surplus the sum of $5,2S0,901. On the figures issued today only 21 cents was earned of the S1.25 to be paid to common share holders for the last quarter. Total earnings for the year amounted to S92,7oS,S29, against $176, 6,6S6,S9S in 1920. Total earnings in 1919 were 3143,5s9.o63 and in 1918, when the war boom was still on, total Jf s199,350,6s0 was reported.
