ON HAND TO SETTLE SHORTAGE Meeting "Is Held to 8tralghten Com­ pany's Affairs, at Which the 8layer Answers Request for Check With Shots From His Revolver. New -York dispatch: William C. Turner, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., shot and killed William J. Mallard of 3 West One Hundred and First street and Albert Hamilton of Pittsburg and then committed suicide in the law of­ fices of Borough President Cantor and former Assistant District Attorney John F. Mclntyre, in the Wall street district. The shooting was done m the pres­ ence of J. J. Adams, a partner of Mr. Cantor and Mr. Mclntyre, Lawyer Leventritt, who represented Turner, and Maurice Goodman, who is asso­ ciated with the firm of Cantor, Mc- Injyre & Adams. Turner was a cousin of Governor Odell, a brother-in-law of Dan Stuart, the famous Texas sport and "gun fighter," was formerly a Texan and was a dead shot. Kills a Millionaire. Mr. Hamilton was a millionaire glass manufacturer, who bought out the business of his slayer. He wan prominent with his wife in the social circles of Pittsburg. Mr. Mallard was a purchaser of Turner's business. He leaves a widow and two children, and was formerly s resident of Atlanta, Ga., where he was prominent in political and social cir­ cles. Turner killed the two men and him­ self because they accused him oI stealing money from the Climax Bot­ tling and Manufacturing Company. It is believed that Turner intended to kill both President Cantor and John' F. Mclntyre, but they happened to be absent from the office. Agrees to 8ettle. Turner was president and treasurer of the Climax Bottling and Manufact­ uring Company until last April, when he was succeeded by Mr. Hamilton. Mallard was secretary of the concern. An examination of the books, accord­ ing to Mallard and Hamilton, showed that Turner was $5;100 short in bis ac­ counts. John F. Mclntyre was engaged by Mallard and Hamilton to force Turner to make a settlement. The accused man made a proposition to settle on a basis of $2,700. Thiss>was agreed to, and an engagement was made to set­ tle up. Turner insisted that Mr, Mclntyre should be present at the conclusion oi the negotiations. He wa3 very bitter against the former district attorney, who had threatened him frequently with criminal proceedings. Mr. Mc­ lntyre, however, evaded the engage­ ment. Asks For Check. Turner was greatly excited and con­ trolled himself with difficulty. Every­ thing went along smoothly until the time came for Turner to produce the $2,700 check. He was slow to do this. The papers were scattered around the table awaiting signatures when Mr. Leventritt said: Well, Mr. Turner, you might aa well deliver the check." Turner glared at the lawyer and at the men on the opposite side of the table. "You have the check with you, I suppose?" asked Mr. Leventritt. "Oh, yes," replied Turner, "I've got It with me, all right." Saying this, he got up, left his chair, walked to the side of the room, and turned his hack on the men at the table. When he faced them again he had a revolver in his hand. Quick and Sure Shot "I'll kill you, you ," he said to Mallard. The men at the table were paralyzed with fright. Before Mallard could get out of the way two bullets were In his body. Hamilton had made no move to es­ cape. He sat gazing at the body of Mallard on the floor. Turner fired one shot at him and killed him instantly. Then he placed the muzzle of the re­ volver to the aide of his own head and blew out his brains. The shooting did not occupy more than half a minute. Mr. Adams, Mr. Goodman and Mr. Leventritt ran out of the office with white faces, meeting a throng of elerks and other tenants who had been at­ tracted by the sound of the shots. On Turner's body were found an­ other revolver, fully loaded, and a cer­ tified check for $2,700. ROLLING STOSK IN SHORT SUPPLY Railroads Are Embarrassed by Lack of Cars in Which Haul Freight • NOT ENOUGH ENGINES IN WEST •ifeE* Builders Are Behind in Orders for Locomotives and Traffic Is Delayed on That Account--Lines Can Handle Hard-coal Rush. New York Stock Market Ex­ pands on Action of Sec- fetary Shaw, ffy#* Increased anxiety over the car shortage is evident among western railroad officials. This condition has prevailed for some time and has been most embarrassing to lines farther east. At times, however, the western roads have been so situated that a more plentiful supply of cars would have been very acceptable. With the coming of the fall traffic in grain and the natural increase in shipments of live stock to be expected at this season the need of cars has been more keenly felt. The northwestern lines are getting the full effect of the rush of small grain to market and several weeks ago the principal lines in that quarter were complaining of inability to move the freight as promptly as they demanded. Not Enough Engines. The trouble with the western lines Is not so much the lack of cars as it is the lack of a proportionate num­ ber of locomotives to handle what they have. During the last year and a half there has been an enormous increase in the number of freight cars in use on the roads centering at Chi­ cago. There has been as large an increase In the number of effective locomotives as the builders could turn out, but the motive power men have been outstripped by the car men in the race. It is believed by those con­ versant with the situation that the orders for locomotives now in the hands of the builders will remedy this condition. Some anxiety has been felt over the prospects of a great rush of hard coal for delivery through the middle west on the resumption of work In the east, but the roads are confident they can take care of this trade as fast as the coal lines can turn it over. Traffic Increases. Lines extending from Chicago di­ rectly west and to the southwest re­ port that the freight traffic has been very largely increased during the last month, though the season for heavy shipments of corn has not yet ar­ rived. Live stock and small, grain have been in excess of expectations ana the condition of the fattening pens and stock farms of that section are believed by railroad men to portend the same heavy shipments of cattle for several months. One effect of the demand for mo­ tive power and general freight hand­ ling equipment has been that western roads are becoming the best equipped in the country in this regard, and when the cars and locomotives now in the shops and under contract are put into service this will be vastly Improved. LOSES $7,000 WORTH OF OEMS Woman Leaves Valuables on Bank Counter at Duluth, Minn.

BULLS INVEST THEIR FUNDS Government Relief Is Followed by Powerful Leaders Entering the Field and Inveeting Their 8urplus Fund In Securities, Causing an Advance. HIS CHILD flitt Shoots Wife's Parents to Death, Then Seeks His Swayne.'^|p^^ The New York stock market has been allowed to expand in the general good feeling resulting from the pros- pfectlve and actual purchase of govern­ ment bonds and the prospective set­ tlement of the strike. Before the bond purchase plan was figured out there was absolute trepi­ dation in quarters where great wealth Is controlled. Money could scarcely be had at any figure through fear of expected demands from the west. But now the change of sentiment Is slgnl* ficant because it exists with those who control, as much as may be, the money situation. Bulls Enter Market. Banking sentiment is, however, not represented in the advance in securi­ ties. Powerful bull leaders got into the market with surplus funds which did not have to be borrowed and started matters going. Opinion at the banks, though, is for conservatism. Commission houses close to leading interests are not as yet buying securi­ ties. They feel it is too early and that there are days of reckoning In money yet to come. The most potent factor In the mat­ ter of general relief has been Secre­ tary Shaw's bond purchase. He was warmly commended in banking circles, and many messages were wired to him, all of a complimentary and ap­ preciative character. It is felt that his act will have universal influence for / good. Valuable Lesson. The persons who feel this way are not those whose opinions are based on security prices. It is the substantia] view of men who keep in touch with business conditions In almost every state in the Union. They (are to the financial situation what the train dis­ patcher is to a railroad system. They familiarize themselves with' every weak and strong spot in the situation,, and it is their judgment that nothing short of a money panic has been averted. The lesson learned through overex- pansion in the stock market will be permanent for the remainder of this year. It turns out that Frank A. Vander- lip, vice president of the National City bank, was the person consulted by Secretary Shaw in Washington with reference to the latter's plans for af­ fording relief. The National City bank and the bond houses readily co-oper­ ated with the secretary, and a matter of international importance was con­ cluded.

' t 1 THIRTY MILLION ACRES OF LAND IN DISPUTE 8upreme Court to Decide Validity of Grants to Railroads In Certain Cases* Washington dispatch: Argument was begun in the United States Su­ preme court in the case of Nelson vs. the Northern Pacific Railroad com­ pany. J. Hamilton Lewis appeared for Nelson and C. W. Bunn and J. B. Kerr for the railroad company. The rase is a test one and is intend­ ed to determine the point as to wheth­ er patents granted to the railroad com­ pany are valid in cases in which the company's map of definite location was filed subsequent to settlement, the land having previously been with­ drawn from settlement in accordance with an order from the interior de­ partment. Mr. Lewis says taat about 80,000,000 acres of land will be af­ fected by the decision. The case of George Tsukamoto was submitted without oral argument.

Fhilllp* Mount Pleasant, Mich., dispatch: Archie Woodin, 23 years old, shot and killed his wife's parents and his 18- months-old daughter. He was over­ powered just as he had turned the weapon upon himself and Inflicted a wound which will not prove fatal. The tragedy is the sequel of a suit for di­ vorce which Mrs. Woodin instituted Oct. 10. Having secured the weapon he rode his bicycle six miles to the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gulick, his wife's parents. Mr. Gulick was shot twice, once above the heart and once In the right side, and was instantly killed. Kills t?1other-in-Law. Woodin then turned upon his moth­ er-in-law, who was sitting in a rocking chair, and shot her in the throat. She ran into the kitchen and fell upon her back. Woodin followed and emptied three chambers of his revolver into iier breast, killing her. A 14-year-old daughter of Gulick came In at the sound of the first shots, and, seeing the blood on her mother's neck, ran to the neighbors and gave the alarm. While running down the road she heard the last three shots. The murderer then dashed madly to his mother's home, six miles away. He rode his bicycle for one mile, then tearing off his coat and throwing it with the wheel into a fence corner, he ran a mile through the fields. He iqade the last four miles on a bor­ rowed horse. Takes Child's Life. After speaking to a group of apple- pickers on his mother's farm, he en­ tered the house as though nothing un­ usual had happened, and picking up his little girl, carried her into an empty room. In a moment the shot rang out which ended the child's life. The farm hands rushed in, but not in time to prevent Woodin from shooting himself. The young mother, until Sept. 27, had the baby with her at the farm of Eli Ferris, where she obtained em­ ployment, but the father then took it to his mother on the promise that he would soon return it. Woodin's wife was Miss Anna M. Gulick, and they were married March 25,1900. Woodin was a soldier In the Cuban war. At the jail he refused to talk, except to express regret that he failed to kill himself. He was laboring under the impression that his wife's parents had caused the divorce proceedings, though his wife's bill of complaint charged pe~sonal violence. 8TORM8 DAMAGE APPLE CROP Blow Down Thousands of Bushels In Michigan Fruit Beit.

Reinforcements Under Manning Go to Aid Col. MAD MULLAH HAS 40,000 MEN. Former Officer of Austro-Hungarla* .Army le an Ally of Fanatic--Belief . That Whole Country Must Be CtMfr quered Before Peace Reigns* ; The British government has decideifli to send Indian troops to SomalilanA to assist in suppressing the Mad Muk lah. When questioned on the subject di British reverse in Somaliland, the Fof* eign Under Secretary, Lord Cranborn^ had little to add to the facts already known. He said General Manning aft rived at Aden and that the goveriip ment placed at his disposal a battalion of Indian troops to aid the protectol*' ate's forces. If these troops were nqjl sufficient, more would be forthcoming Must Conquer All. Lord Cranborne said that Colonel Swayne's retreat would probably ne» cessltate much more prolonged oper®» tion and a larger force than antici­ pated. It is believed that the Ma]f Mullafc now has between 30,000 and 40,00# men. Colonel Swayne's re-enforca* ments do not number more than 4,000l Alfred Pease, M.
