Ace of Spades'' Re- vealed as Adam Bos- Iosky, Aged l6, Ac- cording to Alleged Confession Police Say He Made Today.
Baba Y. Jones Threatened With Death by Nickel Plated Bullet if He Re- fused to Give Money Blood Chilling Phrases Used in Letters.

Adam Boslosky, 16, of 105 Grove street, is being detained at police headquarters on Q charge of breach of the peace, following his arrest this morning by Detective Sergeant Patrick J. OMara and Sergeant Pat rick McAvay, who questioned him and they say, obtained an admission that he was the author of two threatening letters which were re- gently sent to Baba Y. Jones, pro- prletor of a meat market at 8 ! Myrtle street.
 Makes Demand for S100 A month ago Mr. Jones reported to the police that he had received d letter demanding that he deliver $100 on the first day of 1881 as fail- ure to do so would mean that he would be made the target of a gun in the hands of desperate criminal who termed himself The Ace Of Spades
 This letter was turned over to the police and Jones was cautioned to secrecy while the police awaited word that another missile which they expected would be written to designate the place where the ran- som was to be delivered, arrived.
 This letter arrived two days ago and demanded that Jones meet the enemy at the Black Rock bridge on West Main street. It directed him to go 10 the bridge and walk to- wards Plainville until he received an order 10 halt. When this was received he was cautioned to follow the command strictly to the letter as any deviation would mean that he would be riddled with bullets from the guns of a bloodthlrsty gang of ruthless humans.
 Police Make Arrest
 Jones got in touch with the po- Ice and after q days silent investl- galion suspicion fell on Boslosky and when he was brought in this morning on warrant charging him with breach of the peace he readily admitted having sent the letters, the police say.
 The first letter, which was lengthy affair and printed on an ordinary sheet of writing paper. in- formed Jones that he had long been marked as the victim of vengeance { by a cruel gang of enemies. The writer who proudly styled himself The Ace Of Spades, said that he had been hired to dynamite the Jones place of business and was only biding his time in following out the dictates of his superiors un- til he learned whether it would be

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The earn
ings report of the steel corporation,
particularly for the month OF De-
cember exceeded by a wide margin
most expectations. We mention the
month OF December particularly be-
cause operations then were at the
very lowest points. With operations
now substantially above those Of
last month, indications are that
corporation earnings for the first
quarter of 1890 will exceed by a fair
margin those of last the three
months of 1929. In some ways this
report substantiates the theory eX-
pressed in well informed circles that
the turn for the better in business
is already under way. There is one
other condition confirmatory of this.
We understand that an unusually
large amount of copper has been
sold during the past few days with
consumers perfectly willing to pay
the asking price of Is cents per
pound. Gradually this improvement
will spread to other industries and
continue to find reflection in stead
lily improving market outlook, AMI
allowing for few exceptional cases
where downward readjustment IS
necessary, We look for the advance
to continue.

Bridge Contest PrOUeS

usual second hand play of his Queen
OF Hearts.
TN making this play he also took
Il into consideration the probable
ity, as shown by the bidding, that
Declarer had only two Hearts.
If she he'd had only a worthless
singleton, she would not have bio
the initial No Trump; if she had
had three Hearts. she would have
passed her partners Heart bid.
Declarer could not afford to let
Barclays Queen win, because he
would then cash his two established
Spades and save game; therefore
she played Dummy'S King Of Hearts,
East played the 5.
1t looked to Declarer as if Bar
clay had held the Queen-Jack and
another Heart, and had played the
Queen to prevent the fineSSe which
would have established Dummy'S
Hearts, and also as a false card to
induce Declarer to refuse a f1neSse
on the second round of the suit.
So Declarer planned to return to
her own hand to lead Hearts again
through Barclays hand She led
Dummy's Deuce OF Clubs. East
played the TO- Declarer, South, the
Ace Ga false card) and West the 4
Declarer then led the Deuce of
Hearts, West played the 7, Dummy
the 9 and East the Jack. This
finesse cost Mrs. Pimm a Heart trick
because she was unable to put
Dummy in again; but it was a play
fully justified by the development
of the hand Any other would have
been against the probabilities.
ITO trick seven, East led the
l. Queen of Diamonds; Declarer
played the 6; West the 9; Dummy
the 7. East continued Diamonds
with the Jack; Declarer played the
Ace; West the of Hearts; Dummy
the Trey of Clubs.
Vests refusal of Diamond on
this trick showed Declarer that the
establishment of long Diamond in
her hand was practically hopeless.
However, the effect of a squeeze play
sometimes produces weird results, so
Mrs. Pimm, determining to fight on
to the end for an extra trick, led the
of Spades to trick nine, knowing
the result could not prove expensive
as West had only two Spades left.
West played the 9 of Spades;
Dummy the of Clubs; East the 6
of Hearts. West then took his King
of Spades, Dummy discarding the
Trey Of Hearts, East the Trey of
Diamonds, and Declarer the of
Clubs.
To trick eleven, West led the 8 of
Clubs, Dummy played the 7, East
the Jack and Declarer won with
the King. Declarer won the twelfth
crick with the King of Diamonds,
and was left with a small Diamond
which East won on the last trick
with the 10.
Declarer'S contract was set two
tricks, giving adyersaries 100 points
for the penalty, while North and
South scored 40 for Aces.

CHICAGO. Jan. 29.-Wheat OPP
ened fractionally lower on the
Board of Trade today, due to weak
ness at Liverpool. Foreign demand
has not improved any and trading
is quiet. Corn declined with wheat,
but showed a stubborn resistance
due to moderately light receipts.
Oats were lower.
At the opening wheat was Il to
u cent lower, corn was unchanged
to 20 cent down, and oats was II
cent higher to 4 cent lower. Pro-
visions were steady.
Liverpool was % to u cent lower
late in the day, after opening firm.
Buenos Aires followed Liverpool in
the fractional losses during the early
period, ard at midday was IL
cents lower. Traders are under the
impression that wheat is well sold
out here and there is no DISPOSE
ton to press the market. There
was no change in fundamental con-
dition as export demand has not
picked up any so far.
Corn is showing resistance to the
weakness in wheat, due to decrease
in the volume of country move
ment. Only lower grades are being
offered as farmers are holding the
better for improved prices. Weather
continues favorable, though consid-
erablc colder over the corn belt.
Oats declined in sympathy with
the major grains, with most of the
liquidation coming from tired hold

tions moved up from more than 2

actively. Traders we're anticipating
early action toward reopening the

ing marlborough Rapid Transit,
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit and
Manhattan Elevated issues. Third

tive than Tuesday. Warner Broth
ers Pictures held gains of more
