AN AMERICAN
WAS WOUNDED
j. B. Murray Of Woburn,

Patrol
HIS COMPANION
WAS NOT HURT
Americans Thought They
Were to Be Victims Of
Hold-Up

Moscow, Feb. 81 tBy the Associated
Press) II. b. Murray of Woburn,
Mass, connected with the American
relief administration, suffered slight
flesh wound when fired upon in. the
street early Sunday morning. Murray
was accompanied by Mr.. Callahan OF
Fall River, Mass.
Whether the shot was fred by a
lighwayman or by street patrols who
misinterpreted the actions OF the
Americans has not been determined
Murray and Callahan are new arriy-
ais in Moscow and have heard many
exaggerations Of the perils to be en-
countered in the streets. They we're
homeward bound from a concert when
they saw sleigh ahead Of them halted
and occupants with their hands in the
air.
Thinking it was a hold-up and they
would be the next victims the Amer
leans jumped from the sleigh and ran.
Several shots were fired at them, one
hitting Murray, who, however, was
able to continue running and reached
nearby house, where crowd quickly
gathered.
Neither one understands Russian but
thew succeeded in making the patrols
who quickly arrived, understand that
they were Americans and were assisted
home.
American relief administration EN-
ploves familiar with Moscow are in
clined to the theory that street patrols
had halted the sleigh ahead OF the
Americans, and when they witnessed
the sudden flight of the occupants OF
the second conveyance they fired, in
tending to halt them for investigation.

WOOL SHORTAGE
IS REPORTED

Present prices of wool, about 100
per cent over the ruling rate for
1921, are explained by the world
shortage, which has Just been an
nounced by the department of agri-
culture. The report says that many
Of the wool importing countries of
the world have regained normal pre-
war consuming bases and are con-
verting raw stocks into finished
goods at almost the pre-war rate.
The supply in the principal consum-
ing countries .'is less than has been
recorded for some time" 1t was
announced "and is insufficient to
meet the pesent demands" their in
ability to obtain stocks being as
cribed by the department to "the
unsettled economic condition exist
ing throuhgout the world"
"In the United States" the de-
partment's statement said, Stocks
are probably lighter than in a de-
cade Manufacturers are operating
about on a normal basis as indi-
Gated by the monthly rate of con-
sumption.
Stocks in Great Britain, France
and Germany" the statement added,
fare also estimated as lighter than
in the last ten years, and the mills
are running TO capacity.
The department pointed out that
as demand for wools increased after
1913, world production was not in
creased in the same proportion. "and
the present sheep population of the
world is only about 30 er cent Of
the 1913 sheep population"
