THREAT ENDS
IN SHOOTING

HARRISONBURG, Va. April 2.
Floyd Bailey, Of near Rileyville,
was shackled to his bed in Rock
ingham Memorial Hospital here
with a bullet wound in one Of his
ankles.
A warrant issued for Bailey's
arrest charges felonious assault
and disturbing public worship,
while his companion, Ollie Walker,
is in Jail at Luray charged with
drunkenness.
Bailey was shot Saturday night
by Rumsey Sedwick, deputy sher-
if, as he attempted to escape from
arrest after first threatening Sed-
wick with a rock, officers said.
Sedwick said:
81 received q call to 90 to
Compton, where somebody was
creating a disturbance at the
church. When I reached there,
found Bailey, against whom
the complaint was made, had
left. But witnesses told me he
threatened the preacher, the
Rev. L. ]. Manuel, with a razor,
and was trying to run others
out of the church.
"a little outside the church /
came upon Bailey and told him
he was under arrest. He came
toward me with q rock in one
hand and, what 1 was told, .
razor in the other. 1 called to
him to stop and shot in the
ground at his feet. He threw
the rock, picked up another and
turned to run. When he
wouldn't stop, 1 wounded him in
the ankle and gave chase. He
was with a girl and she was
drunk, SO put her in the car
after I gave up the chase for
him."

SHIPPING FIRM
FACES fine

The United States Lines today
faced a $1,0O0,O0O penalty as the
result of new bids submitted by
the Newport News Shipbuilding
Company for construction Of new
ocean liner which would take the
place of the S. S. Leviathan.
The line, by virtue of a con-
tract with the Government, agreed
to place into the transatlantic run
another vessel as a running mate
to the S. S. Manhattan and Wash
ington. The contract was entered
into by the lines with the United
States Shipping Board-Merchant
Fleet Corporation. One of the
terms of the agreement was that
if the lines failed to receive "a
reasonable" bid, it would be liable
to a 100000 damage payment.
The deadline for awarding the
construction contract originally
was set for November IL, 1885, and
on that date the Newport News
Company submitted base bid Of
$11,60O,00O. This estimate was
considered excessive" by both
Shipping Board and Navy Depart
ment officials, since the construc-
ton would be financed through a
Government loan covering three
fourths of the ships cost.
Since this was the only bid sub
mitted, the Government extended
the deadline until midnight Of
April /. The Newport News Com
pany thereupon filed two addi-
tional estimates, one for $780,
900 and the other for $14,010,000,
which would embrace certain mod
ern safety improvements not in
cluded in the company's original
bid.
j. Monroe johnson, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, character
lied the new estimates as "en-
tirely unsatisfactory"

TRIAL SOUGHT
FOR KING OF
VICE RACKET

NEW YORK. April 2 U.N.S0
RacketS Prosecutor Thomas E
Dewey moved rapidly today to in
sure detention Of Charles Lucky
Luciano, New York Public En-
emy," variously reported seized
released and again detained at
Hot Springs, Ark.
Word that Luciano had been
released under $4,000 bail follow
ing his arrest brought prompt &C
ton from Dewey. He Immediately
wired New York detectives to seek
to have the 39-year-olG alleged
car of New York's vast vice
racket rearrested. Then he rushed
a legal aide to an airplane with
instructions to fly to Hot Springs
with a request for higher bail.
Low Bail AsSailed
Dewey made no effort to hide
his disappointment when he
learned of the $4,000 bail set for
Luciano. he SAID:
81 cannot understand how any
Judge could make such an order
unless he was ignorant Of the
facts. 1t would be q shocking
thing If this man were released
in such bail after the judge was
aware of the nature of the case.
Luciano is generally and cor
rectly regarded as the most
dangerous and important rack
eteer in New York. il not in
the country. This case involves
one of the largest racketS
in New York and one of the
most lOathsome types Of crime"
Dewey expressed hope that his
assistant, Edward Mclean, who
flew to Hot Springs, would be
able to present the facts to the
court, if Luciano has not already
become a fugitive"
TraiIed Five Months
Luciano, who has been trailed
for five months by attaches Of
Dewey's office, was regarded as
the successor to the underworld
throne when Arthur Dutch
Schultz" Flegenh e i'm er was
erased" by rival gangsters' bull
lets in a Newark cafe last year.
David Betillo, 20, believed Luci-
amos chief lieutenant and a
former AL Capone henchman who
came to New York when Capone
went to prison, was seized in
Philadelphia and is held under
$4,000 bail under an indictment
charging compulsory prostitution.

AIRPORT SITE
ACT|0NWANES

Hope for the selection of an air
port site for Washington grew
DINNER today as the Senate pre-
pared for another conference on
the resolution in which the House
refused to concur yesterday.
It was expected that after an
other meeting the conferees will
decide to cut the 100000 from the
bill included to allow for the pur-
chase of options strip it to $10,0 900
for the expenses of a commission
which is to select site and report
its findings to Congress next ses-
sion.
Sen. William H. King CD, Of
Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee and a conferree
on the original resolution said
that in his opinion the resolution
would then be agreed to by both
houses.

Every Fat Man and Woman
Wants To Know Why
fat is DANGEROUS

Fat is dangerous-all fat folks should
know this-not perhaps the fat that
grows on abdomen and hips-not the
fat that gives you that double chin
but the more dangerous fat is the fat
that grows and gathers around the in
ternal Organs-the kidneys and heart.
That's the fat that the insurance
companies don't like-it shortens life
and they know it-that's why over
weight folks are charged extra for life
insurance.
How much better you feel as the
pounds Of heavy fat pass away-more

tion-more energy-at a cost Of next

the world-millions Of jars a year-it

When a man is 80 or 40 pounds over
weight he IS much too fat.
Tell this man to carry around 40
pounds of baggage all day long and his
answer couldn't be printed.
Yet from a health standpoint it
would be better for this man to carry
the baggage than to carry the fat.
At least he wouldn't have to carry
his baggage to bed with him.
In this country today are thousands
of physically attractive men who were
once fat-these men lost their excess
fat the SAFE way by cutting out fatty
meat and going light on butter, cream
and Sugary sweets.
Eat more fruit and green vegetables
and eat sensibly Of lamb, lean beef,
fowl and fish Except salmon and
mackereD.
Follow these directions in regard to
diet-take one half teaspoonful of
Kruschen Salts in glass of hot water
every morning before breakfast to keep
excess waste on the move.
Every overweight man or woman can
safely make this effort If they really
want to escape the grave dangers to
health from excess fat.

TIN PRICES STAGE
SUBSTANTIAL RISE
Active Demand for Lead From
Large Consumers Also Cheers
Metal Markets.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February IA sharp
rally in tin and an active demand for
lead from large consumers created a
more cheerful tone in some Of the
metals last week.
Domestic spot tin prices advanced
25s cents carrying them to premium
of cents over futures, as against Is
cent a week ago. The strength was
based on scarcity of immediate sup
plies, improved prices in London and
reports that January deliveries in the
United States were practically the
largest since early in 1881.
Lead purchases were said to have
been the largest since the holidays, but
prices were unchanged, with sellers
supplying the demand quite freely.
Copper fabricators were reported to
be placing larger orders for metal late
in the week as producers opened books
for May shipment. However, because
consumers stocks had been built UP
by the heavy purchases in the last
quarter of 1885, trade observers were
said not to be anticipating repetition
of this heavy buying movement at the
moment.

Commodity Price
Changes for " eek
BY A. A. PATTON,

Associated Press Statistician.
NEW YORK. February 1.-Malor
commodities successfully eluded the
imitation virus that was widely credited
with motivating the weeks rise in stock
prices.
The Associated Press commodity
index dropped ST during the week to
1851.
Tumbling prices for the heavily
weighted farm products-hogs, cattle,
cotton, wheat-overbalanced the fact
that gains outnumbered declines IL
to 8. Fifteen prices were unchanged
for the week.
Live Stock Down.
Hog and cattle quotations swept
downward as consumer resistance to
higher prices continued to make itself
felt in the bidding at the yards. A
slight advance in lambs was felt to be
of slight consequence as the price re-
manned within the narrow range that
has prevailed for the past month.
Wheat continued lower with the
visible world supply apparently deemed
more important than the poorer-than-
expected quality of the Canadian crop
Oats also were somewhat depressed al
though corn and rye eked out minor
advance.
Cotton slumped precipitously on
Friday as traders became apprehensive
of the Governments intention regard
ing the disposal of its collateral for
loans to farmers.
Food prices continued the advancing
tendency of last week, with eggs, cocoa.
coffee and lard sharing the spotlight.
Flour alone showed weakness, dropping
10 cents a barrel.
The costs of the commodities used
directly in industry were steady in the
main, although bituminous coal and
burlap dropped bit
Textile Pace Maintained.
Production in the textile branch OF
industry is maintaining its recent high
level, and prices are accompanying
output. Wool, silk and cotton cloth
all moved ahead during the week.
Non-ferrous metals were steady. with
tin and antimony advancing mod
erately.
