Street normally Skeptical OF new
International monetary moves.
The possibility was rumored in
London financial circles and
brought immediate denials from
W-aahington that any gold Situa-
ton was imminent" But 1t
caused tremendous talk both here
ami abroad.
An international agreement on
a cold price would tend to end
the heavy dumping of gold by pro-

Africa having .ent heavy ship

hank between the Norfolk South
ern freight shed and Copper
smiths mill. While some 10 or II
of them were enjoying a swim
yesterday morning a group OF COL
ored BOYS, most of whom were
larger than the white boys, ar
rived on the scene and demanded
that they be allowed to use the
springboard. The white boys OBJ
iecSed, and some of the colored
BOYS spoke Of using clubs and
pocket knives to carry their point.
Ugly names flew back and forth
between the two groups until one
of the white boys threw a rock.
Several colored boys returned his
fire, and soon missiles OF every
description filled the air.
Seemingly getting the worst OF
the battle, the colored boys with
drew to safe distance and held
conference. One of the, a IA
year-old boy by the name OF
Manuel McCullen, left the group
and set off in the direction of his
home on WalnUS street at a run.
The white boys were putting on
their clothes and paying little at
Jention 10 their erStWhile adVer-
saries when McCullen returned
carrying a % rifle, which he
handed to Rudolph Pailin, IT.
year-old leader of the gang of
cilored boys. Pailin took aim at
Fred Sawyer, pulled the trigger,
saw that he had shot the boy in
the leg and then dropped the gun
and fled. McCullen retrieved the
gun and fled with II to his home,
where he was picked up by police
officers a short while later. He
was taken into custody for queS-
Jioning as a material witness but
claimed 10 know nothing Of the
whereabouts of Pailin.
The Pailin boy is a bad char
acer. Before reaching the age OF
16 he was convicted of stealing
several times in the juvenile court
and had returned home only a
few weeks ago after serving a
road sentence for larceny.
He is believed 20 be hiding out
in the swamp back of Kramer's
mill, altho it is held possible that
he might have caught a freight
train out of town last night.
