TWO SHOT DOWN
IN NGANGST.ERS' WAR
Third Wounded, Body of An
other Found in Chicago
Outskirts.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 13-Feuds of
gangsters and liquor runners were
considered today by the police in in
vestigating the killing of two men last
night, the probable fatal wounding of
third and the finding Of the body Of
another yesterday in clump of
bushes.
They continued search for Martin
Durkin, slayer of Edward G. Shana-
han, Federal agent. on Sunday, and
sought the bombets who wrecked the
home Of William Sweeney, police
sergeant and prosecution witness
against two gangsters on trial in con-
nection with the Staying of two police
men.
The two slain last night fell in sepa-
rate attacks. John Russo, former
saloon keeper, was attacked by two
gnnmen as he went for his automobile.
Joseph Bonini, a steel worker, who
lived in the rear of saloon, talked
about bootlegging. Two men shot him
to death on the street. George Hess
was shot through the chest and his
automobile riddled during a fight on
the West Side.
Edward Lattyak, pal of Henry
Fernekes, the midget bandit" whose
body was found on the roadside near
Argo. was killed for revenge because
he tried to double-cross his pals, po-
lice thought.
Belief that Durkin, for whom a
81, 1000 reward had been offered, was in
hiding in Indiana, concentrated the
hunt for him in northern Indiana
towns.
The bombing of the Sweeney home
climaxed threats which have been
made against States witnesses in the
trial of John Scalice and Albert An
selino, arrested as members of the
Genna gang, after two policemen were
killed. The explosion caused estimated
damage of $500. Sweeney was not
at home.

summer al the Methodist church pass
ed the day yesterday at North Pond,
and it was the general opinion of the
many youngsters that 1t was about the
greatest day of their lives. Mr.. and
Mrs. H. p. Bonsall loaned their cot
tage to the school for the day and it
provided an ideal place for the picnic.
At o'clock the school met as usual
at the church and short period was
given to devotional exercises. The
start from the church was made at
$50. Many of the children were car
ried to the pond in the large Lock
wood mill truck, and those who could
not be provided for in this vehicle
were taken in private cars. Upon
their arrival at the cottage practical
ly every one went in bathing, while
the few who did not enjoyed boating.

To Be Arraigned
Today for Part
| In Public BraWl

Harry Brisk of Kelsey street and
Eddie Stanley of this city will prob
ably be arraigned in the Waterville
municipal court this morning on
charges of taking part in a public
brawl, as result of a quarrel early
yesterday afternoon near the old
shoe factory on the Messalonskee
river.
The shoe factory is the property
Of Brisk and lately he has been
troubled by having the windows of
the building broken by stones. Yes
terday Stanley was a member of q
party of young men on their way to
the river where they were going in
swimming. The boys were throwing
stones, but according to City Mar
shall Franklin D. Gaskell, they were
not being thrown at the factory.
Brisk was on his property at the
time and he told the boys to throw
stones at the windows then If they
dared. This caused some of the
young men to joke with Brisk and
the latter picked up a brick and
threw It at the boys. Then Brisk
and Stanley started to fight and
both were somewhat injured. 1t was
said that during the quarrel any
weapons that the men could lay
their hands on were used.
After -, brawl with the boys
Brisk hurried to the city building
and warrants for arrest were asked
for by parties on both sides of the
case. In the corridors were the best

and commercial paper rates were
unchanged.
Considerable irregularity marked
trading in the foreign exchange
market. Danish kroner rose to
new high near % 1-2 cents but later
lost their gain. Demand sterling for
the first time in several weeks sold
below $4.S5 1-2 while French francs
and Italian Ira were virtually un-
changed.
Buying interest was at a low ebb
in the bond market today and prices
continued to fluctuate within a mar
row trading area. Apprehension
over any immediate tightening of the
money situation was allayed but
evidences were still present of liq-
uidation by institutions on the belief
that a general firming up of rates is
in store later in the season. Aside
from activity in the semi-speculative
rail issues, trading was unusually
listless. Buying of New Haven rail-
road obligations was promoted by
the announcement that an increase
in Communication fares had been au-
thorized. The roads 4 per Get
bonds, the New York, Westchester
and Boston lbs all moved up a
punt VI 81, WIille lIlc worcester ana
Connecticut Eastern lbs. an un-
DERIVING issue, jumped more than
five points over the last previous
sale.
Demand for some of the weston
carriers lines also developed with
moderate gains scored by several ST.
Jaul Junior issues, Denver and Rio
Grande general 5s, Frisco adjust
ment and general IS and Missouri
Pacific general 4s.
Reactionary tendencies prevailed
in the industrial list, where selling
of Pan American, Sinclair and Skel-
ly Oil bonds brought about recess
sions of a point or so. National
Acme 1-2s and other miscellaneous
issues also worked lower.
Foreign obligations generally
, were ste.>dy although Mexican issues
drlfted fractionally lower on reports
f, that revision of the Mexican debt
agreement would be demanded by
the Mexican treasury. Liberty
| bonds also were heavy but u. s.
treasury issues showed improvement.
Total sales were $10,20S,00O.

Dun's Report

New York, July 24.-(AP)-Dun's
tomorrow will say:
More firmness in commodity prices,
relatively large demand in various
trades and an improvement in senti-
ment are distinctive phases of the cur
rent business situation. A contraction
of action usually occurs in mid-sum-
mer, yet much less of 1t appears at
present than was the case year ago,
fundamental conditions are sound and
there is solid basis for future ex-
pansion. Even now, despite seasonal
restraints, operations in certain lines,
as in steel. textile, footwear and hides.
are broadening. while the position of
difference sellers is strengthened as
markets become steadier. Narrow
profit margins continue to cause COM
plant in some industries, but for
eight consecutive weeks advances in
wholesale prices have predominated
and more than one-half of this weeks
increses in Dun's list are other arti-
cles than foodstuffs. Among the COM
modities which have recently reached
higher levels are copper, lead, zinc,
tin and hides.

After brisk advance of SAG osc
market closed firm at 1s to 2ac net
gain, September 1.50a to 1904 and De.
cember 1.513 to 1.51g. Broadening of
export demand, together with a reduc-
ed estimate of the 1925 domestic
spring crop yield, was largely respon-
wheat market. Corn closed at to &c
advance. oats unchanged to &c higher
and provisions varying from sc decline
to a rise of &c.
Wheat made it's lowest prices early
and then rallied in double-quick fash
ion, but late reased back to material
extent. The price advance was ac-
companied by assertions that export
business today had totalled fully l.
100000 bushels. simultaneously q
ion that spring wheat indications at
present were for crop of 255,OOO,0O0
bushels in this country as against the
July l government forecast of .216,-
100000 bushels. However, signs
pointed to an enlarged movement Of
week and profit-taking sales put con-
siderable pressure on values in the
final half hour.
In some quarters evidence today of
a renewed substantial export demand
for wheat was taken to imply that
Europe had begun to awaken to crop
deficiencies both in this country and
in Canada and that a belated start was
being made to cover European require
ments for the next four months. In
this connection special notice was
given to reports current today that
late wheat in North Dakota, which
two weeks ago promised a bumper
yield, has been badly damaged. Dis
auieting crop reports from Canada, es-
pecially Alberta, were also at hand.
Corn owed it's strength mostly to
and actual crop deterioration in parts
of South Dakota, western Iowa and
Nebraska. Oats followed corn.
Provisions averaged higher. respond

NEW YORK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, July 24.-(AP)-De-
velopment of the usual week end
! profit taking retarded the upward
| movement of stocks today and gave
| the market an uneven appearance
after a remarkably strong showing
| in the early trading. Under the
leadership of the high priced spec
ialties, advancing tendencies were
maintained in many stocks, however
and more than a score new high
records for the year were marked
up before realizing sales overlook
the market. The spirit of buoyancy
which was evident most of the day
vas adequately supported by optlm-
| isti statements from leading bank
ers and the cheerful tenor OF the
| weekly trade reviews which report
ed that a solid basis existed for fu-
ture expansion. Easier money rates
at the same time encouraged an eX-
tension of constructive operations in
popular Industrial favorites. Numer-
Gus gains of to points were scat
tered throughout the list at the days
high levels but most of these were
redu or cancelled before the
close.
Crossing the 200 mark for the first
time in it's history, Mack Trucks was
'one of the outstanding strong spots.
Under the impetus of heavy specula-
lative buying the stock established
new peak at 203 before it encounter
ed profit taking which carried 1t
back to POO rs. representing a net
gain of almost 2 points. American
Can matched its previous high price
of 21O 1-2 but later sagged off in
sympathy with the rest of the mar
ket, and closed l IL points below
yesterdays final figure.
Striking changes took place in
some of the volatile issues. General
Railway Signal, which was said to be
due for a probable split up of shares,
was run up almost ten points TO
new top at 219, maintaining a large
portion of it's gain until the close.
Philip Jones common and preferred
sold 5 and 8 3-4 points higher, res
pectively. The advance in General
Railway was in contrast to the
marked heaviness of most of the
other equipment issues.
Merchandising stocks continued to
hold an important place In the
speculative picture, with additional
new high records achieved by Sears
Roebuck, Woolworth and Montgom-
erv Ward. International Harvester
also attracted a steady flow of buy
ing orders and Coca Cola was boost
ed 3 points to a new maximum above
|12S. Tobacco shares continued their
advance under the leadership Of To-
bacco Products and Phillip Morris
Fleischman and General Baking
were strong spots in the baking
group.
Motor shares as a group made the
best showing in several days. An
nouncement that the Pierce Arrow
Company had completely liquidated
its bank loans, freeing it from debt
for the first time since 1920, was fol-
lowed by a lively run up In its
shares, the common advancing 1 0-S
and the preferred 5 Is points.
The growing belief that Frisco
common will be established on a
higher dividend basis before the end
of the year was reflected in its rise
to a new high at 81 7-S. Wabash and
Katy" shares also were in demand.
Indications of a more stable mon
ey condition were seen in the main
