CAR SITUATION BETTER.
Railroads Near Balance Between
Supply and Demand.

American railroads during the
middle Of January came closer to
establishing a balance between the
number Of freight cars demanded by
shippers, and the number available.
than they have been able to do for
several months, according to figures
made public today by the car eerv-
ioe division of the American Rail-
way Association. On that day the
carriers had 2s,2S2 cars in good re-
pair, but not needed by shippers, and
80 declared to be surplus, while the
days total demand Of shippers was
T3,342 cars moro than could be I'm
mediately supplied.
The Gmultaneou existence OF both
n car surplus and a shortage Is ex-
planned by the service division as
due to the fact that cars are not
always Immediately available at the
point Of demand. Most OF tho short
age was in the coal fields. where
mines on the date given called for
s7,014 oars more than could be sup
piled to them.

IN PENSION OFFICE
Surplus of Employees Brings
Order Affecting Many
Veterans in Service.

Because of a surplus in the num-
flee, seventy-five men and women,
some of them veterans in the serv-
ice, have been ordered on furlough, 1t
was learned today, although their
names will remain on the rolls, at
least until June 80.
Many Of these employees, Com
missioner Of Pensions Gardner said,
that time, when their cases will prob
ably be taken up If they are not rein
stated in their positions. Most of
them are well along in years and a
number have reached the age limit
of retirement qualification. but have
not the years of service requisite
forqthe annuity.
If before June 80 there is need
for additional employees at the pen
sion office, Mr.. Gardner said, these
furloughed employees will be called
in.
Surveyed by Experts.
A forerunner of the furloughs was
a survey by experts, at the order of
Or. hubert Work, Secretary of In
terror. it was learned. which showed
that although sufficient work was on
hand at the pension bureau to con-
tinue its. operation normally, there
was a superfluity of employees whose
services were not actually required
there. The result was the furloughs

KELLIHER, Mimi. November 10
A madman, slayer of four, is fleeing
through the north woods before a
posse formed here, which took up the
search at dawn.
Leonard Portano, thirty-three, yes
terday slew Mr.. and Mrs. John San
ders, of whose fifteen-year-old daugh-
ter, Myrtle, he was enamored; Oscar
Timmy, thirty. farmer and suitor of
the girl. and J. A. Wilson, marshal of
this village and deputy sheriff, who
sought to arrest him.
The shootings occurred at different
times, in both the morning and after
noon. Before fleeing the murderer
went to a timber-cutting plant he op-
with a list of the dead.
Early yesterday Timmy and Por-
tano engaged in an alteration over
Myrtle Sanders, during which Portano
shot Timmy through the leg. Timny
came eight miles from the farm
where the shooting occurred to this
village, had his wounds dressed and
reported the case to Marshal Wilson.
Whlle Ilmmy was gone, fOTtdHO
went to the Sanders home and shot
dead the mother of his sweetheart.
Upon leaving the Sanders home he
met the woman's husband, took him
to nearby cabin, bound him to a
.bedpost and shot his head off.
Shoots Marshal to Death.
Near this village Portano met Mar
shall Wilson, who had left to arrest
him for shooting Timmy, and shot the
officer dead. Next he encountered
Timmy, who was going to the village
to learn what had been done toward
arresting Portano for wounding him,
and again Portano's pistol fired a
fatal bullet, Timmy falling dead in
the highway.
Although Myrtle Sanders is missing
1t is stated she was not harmed or
kidnapped by the desperado. 1t is be-
lieyed some. neighbor has sheltered
her in an attempt to help her bear the
sorrow caused by the tragic loss of
her parents and sweetheart.
The killer had been avoided by local
people because of his hasty temper.
He recently was before the grand
jury as result of a controversy
with his brother. nearby farmer.
and his only known relative. The
grand jury returned no indictment,
however, and the nature of the case
was not disclosed. The man is only
about five feet tall.
