There was hurried consultation

1t was decided to give Taylor five

him to resume fighting. He was

CHICAGO, Feb. 8 R-Five per-
sons, two Of them policemen, we're
shot and killed today and two 9TH

fancied Crudge against packing
house employe set out with pistol
to seek revenge.
The negro, Ralph Elliott, died
the victim of a bullet fired by
mortally wounded policeman after
a police squad had charged into a
negro rooming house on the South
Side to be met by fusillade from
Elliott or his negro companions.
Elliott, a former employe Of the
Omaha Packing company, was dis
charged after a qcarrel with James
Ellis, another negro, and today he
waited for Ellis at the gate of the
plant. When Ellis appeared, FL
lott fired one shot, killing Ellis.
Starting to run, Elliott met Donald
McNeilly, white, another employs,
whom he shot and wounded.
AS Elliott dashed from the pack
ing company gates, he ran into
Charles Miller, SO, employe Of a
chemical company.
"Run-" shouted the negro,
brandishing his pistol. Miller
started to run, then apparently be-
came confused and turned toward
the killer. Elliott fired and Miller
dropped dead.
The crazed negro then rushed to
a South Side rooming house, where
a detective squad located him sew
eral hours later. Two policemen,
Lieut.. Edward Murphy and Ser
geant James Keegan, went through
the front door and three others
went to the rear entrance.
There were half dozen shots
and when other policemen arrived
Keegan lay dead at the entrance
to Elliott's apartment, smoking
pistol still in his hand. Elliott.

taken to enable Axline to appear in
San Francisco before the United
States circuit of appeals, where on
Wednesday he will argue group
of war risk insurance cases in

BANTAM CHAMP
LOSES TITLE In
SEVENTH ROUND

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, Feb. 8 GHl---
joey Sanger, Of Milwaukee, contender
for the worlds teatherweight cham
pionship, was declared the winner
over Buddy Taylor, bantamweight
titleholder in the seventh round OF o
scheduled ten round battle here to-
night.
Taylor at the time fell victim to
what appeared to be toul blow,
but was ordered to resume fighting
after a five minute rest. He was
unable to do so, with the result that
the judges awarded the verdict to
the freckled faced Milwaukee youth.
The bout, the fourth meeting since
1926, was unequaled III the middle
west for viciousness and desperate
punching, since the memorable fight
between Stanley Ketchel and Billy
Papke in Milwaukee 20 years ago.
The pair Slugged like a couple OF
longshoremen for six rounds with
little to chose between them. They
stood toe to toe in the center OF the
ring trading punches, first one having
the lead and then the other.
Sangors best showing was in the
third round, when he forced Taylor
into the ropes under wicked shower
of lefts and rights to the head.
In a five round -windup, Joe
Medill, OF Chicago. won from Marty
Silvers, OF Brooklyn. Medill was
knocked to his knees in the first
round, but came back strong, carry
ing the fight to his eastern foe.
Each weighed 1872 pounds.
frankie Baumann, 119 FOUNDER
from Brooklyn, was too fast and
punched too hard for Smiley Springer,
of Chicago, and had no trouble in
winning their five round bout. SPRING

GAIN IN INSURANCE
TOTAL PREDICTED
Writing of Policies Expected
to Keep Pace With Bust :
ness Increase.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November Git now
looks as if the volume of insurance
written this year would be fully 10
per cent higher than the policies writ
ten IN 1927. Insurance men attributed
this in part to the fact that business
is good and business men and workers
are anxious to make provision for the
future of their dependents while con-
ditions are favorable.
One company alone has more than
Sc, $40. 100000 in force and will pay out
something like $150.000000 by the end
of the year. The big increase has come
in group insurance and it now is eSti-
mated by insurance StatiSticians that
48, 600 workers will receive more than
the average wage or salary for the year
by the end of 1928. There are now
100000 of the 47,000000 workers in
the country covered by group insurance.
Reflect Business Conditions.
These figures reflect the generally
prosperous business conditions. Indus
trial and commercial activity suffered
undoubtedly as a result of the slacken-
ing for election day. This will make
the business for the week smaller than
usual, but the recovery has been such
that the daily rate now is back where
it was before last Tuesday. The steel
mills are doing splendidly with a fine
agricultural implement, oil, country
goods and automobile sheet demand.
The automobile industry is in the
throes of producing new models, but the
old models are still passing into the
hands of buyers in satisfactory num-
bers. The oil industry is commencing
to reflect the huge consumption for
which the automobile and aviation in
dustries are responsible and as con-
sequence there seems likely to be a
good volume of exploration work in
the Southwest this Winter.
The real feature of the commodity
world is the strong position which
copper continues to occupy. An ex-
tremely fair tonnage of the metal al
ready has been sold at current prices
for January and February delivery. The
foreign market has not been so active,
owing to political conditions in several
countries Zinc has shown improvement
in sales and paint and battery manu-
facturerS have been in the market for
lead. 1t is estimated the, electrification
program of the Pennsylvania Railroad
will require 100000 pounds of copper
Building materials in some sections
are a trifle higher than a year ago
Lumber cut is slightly higher than new
business in the soft wood mills, but
untitled orders still are high. The
operations of the electric light and
power concerns are on a high level
This is proving of benefit to some OF
the paper companies, which through
water power holdings are really public

cradle quantities have been disposed OF

Baldwins and Greetings is reported
limited in producing sections owing to
high prices and the fact that lower
priced miscellaneous varieties are avail

apples. of special varieties have been

Yorks and StaymanS have a general
range in city markets of 81 to SIS per
barrel. Occasional sales of Vermont
Mcintosh touched $11 in New York
Keeping quality of Northern apples is
expected to be good owing to favorable
conditions during harvest. Eastern
growers seem to have sold most of their
stock. Storage holdings in Western
New York are locally estimated probably
is to 20 per cent greater than last
season.
Tendency of sweet potatoes has been
upward this month. with gains of about
10 per cent in various classes in some
markets. Virginia barreled stock still
sold at S175 to $3.50 and New Jersey
yellow stock sold as low as 81 per

NEW YORK, November 9.-The
abrupt change in the call money Sit
uation this week, the rate dropping
down to per cent for renewals with
outside loans at 5iA per cent. in COM
pariSon with the continuous rate of ~
per cent in the latter part of October
and during the first part of November,
was looked upon by bankers as a tenn
porary ease rather than a permanent
one
While the bankers do not expect to
see return of the high rates for call
money eXacted of borrowers during the
Summer and in part of the early Au-
tumn season, they anticipate conditions
that may result in fiurries from time to
time between now and the turn of the
year. These will depend very largely
on the degree to which stock specula-
ton is maintained, for so long as
market activity is represented in daily
sessions OF between 100000 and $780,
600 shares it is maintained that there
can be no definite change in the credit
situation.
The attitude of lenders other than
those OF banks to money market that
does not produce better than a 6 per
cent rate, is one Of the unknown guam
titles and upon it will depend the course
