THREE WOUNDED AND ONE IS KILLED IN GUN
 BATTLE IN NE:N YORK

NEW YORK, Oct. 26. tP)-Three detectives were wounded and a gangster was killed in a gun bat tie which resulted when two police found a killer suspect and two companions in hiding on the upper WeStside of Manhattan.
 The dead gangster is E. Bat taglia, gunman with many aliases, who was believed to have driven the car from which companions shot down and killed Patrolman Jeremiah Brosnan outside the pris- on ward of Fordham Hospital in 1928.
 Battaglia's two companions es- capped in the confusion following the shooting although the district was at once surrounded by emer- gency squads of police who carried on the search for hours.
 The wounded detectives are E. W. c. Pessagne and J. Defarraro and are in a serious condition.
 Three detectives went with po- lice,nen to a house in West 78th Street where the patrolmen re- membered seeing Battaglia. They went upstairs but had no sooner got outside the door of the gum mans room when three occupants opened fire, wounding the detect ives.
 The gangsters made a dash for liberty, but the policemen who fol- lowed the detectives, fired four shots, killing Battaglia. Two other gangsters ran up the stairs and ap- parently escaped, although late in the night, the police said they were holding a suspect.

SEPTEMBER SHIPMENTS
 ARE UNDER AVERAGE

September'S shipments or Alaska commodities to the States, exclus- i've of precious metals, dropped to less than $10,000,OOO for the first time in many years for that month, it was revealed in the monthly statement of commerce issued by J. c. Mcbride, Collector of Customs for Alaska General decline in fish cries products and copper ore was accountable for the decreased total value, reports the Juneau Empire.
 The outgoing commodity ship mentS for the month just passed totaled $9,753 ,495. This is $3,114,- 121 less than for September, 1880, when the aggregate value of all products was Sl3,067, 616.
 Almost $2,0o0,OO0 of the loss was covered by a decline in the value of canned salmon shipments, due in the main to lowered prices of that variety of fish.

COPPER WILL REVIVE FAST AFTER OBTAINING
 START, PREDICTED

Having just left the great cop per producing areas of the South west and northern Mexico, this may be a good time to summarize the impressions as to the outlook for the red metal, says writer in the Denver Mining Record. The writer finds that men who live with copper, are extremely opti- mistic.
 It is pointed out that there is every reason to expect that cop per metal will share generously in the return of business and in dustry to normal It is also pointed out that copper consumption in the year 1880 was 80 per cent of the consumption for the year 1929. It is expected that copper metal also will share generously in in creasing the consumption of met als in the future.
 It is also pointed out that the present stocks of copper, while large, are mostly sold, and any pronounced turn for improving the demand would clean up the unsold stocks in a few weeks.
 The copper producers look to the electrical industry, which is forging ahead, for large and sus- tained demand for long time to come It is said in usually we'll informed circles that the present campaign of electrifying the Pen sylvania railroad between New York and Washington undoubted- ly is the beginning of movement which later will include other big eastern railways.
 Copper metal, it is firmly be- lieved, is in the front rank of raw materials, and will be quick to re- spond to expanding business and industry.

Young Henry Rosness, stream fisherman de lux and champion lake Izaak Walton of Seward, pro- bably has annexed another title In any case it's the champion fish yarn of the season. Following sev- eral hours at Bear Lake resulting in fine string of trout, Henry walked into Seward trailing the fish on a limb. When he threw them into water at home he mo- tlced one of the fish was still alive. But the next morning when he took another slant at his fish and again noticed the trout was not dead, he took the darn thing back to the lake and gave it back to the waters.
