LEIDER KILLED Haymaker's Daughter; Find His Wife. E HDLDSJJS OWN Business at Chicago Shows Up Well in Comparison With 1902 MANUFACTURERS ARE BEHIND Great Efforts Are Being Made to Fill Old Orders and Bring New Con­ tracts Up to Dato--Farnr. ts Command Good Prices. Chicago, dispatch: Dun's Review of Chicago Trade, published by R. G. Dun & Co., says: Although the curtailment of pro­ duction in finished iron and a partial strike of packing house workers for more wages has created a disturbing feeling, but little appreciable reaction appears in the aggregate volume of current business. Freight traffic shows no falling away. The distribu­ tion of merchandise through whole­ sale and leading retail channels com­ pares favorably with a year agr>. and there are larger dealings at the banks and in foodstuffs. Weather condi­ tions have favored the progress of seeding and farm work, and the mar­ keting of crops adds to a wider circu­ lation of money throughout the interi­ or. The prices of agricultural prodt ucts maintain unusual firmness. Hum of Industry. In the manufacturing branches there is ample employment on old or­ ders and new contracts come forward as freely as looked for. A short shut­ down for repairs in one department of large steel plant is fully offset by the reopening of another. Pig iron is easier in price and supplies, and the buying included a large number of moderate quantities, the heaviest consumers being out of the market. The demand for rails disclosed few large specifications, but there is good general buying of structural forms. Many undertakings are planned in railroad extensions and other con­ struction work Involving unusual ex­ penditures, but the execution of these is hindered owing to the pre­ vailing high cost of necessary materi­ als and labor. Factories Are Busy. "Machinery and hardware factories are kept quite busy, some of the lat­ ter working hard to overtake old business. Car builders are on over­ time to comply with urgent calls of various roads for additional freight equipment, and t&e new bookings en­ gage capacity well into next year. Furniture and wood-working branches report less local demand, but are do­ ing well on requirement of outside buyers. Mercantile collections make a satisfactory showing, and the num­ ber of reported failures foi• the Chi­ cago district does not exceed same week of 1902. Grain shipments for six days, in­ cluding 2,757,336 bushels of corn, ag­ gregate 5,550,740 bushels, and are al­ most 29 per cent over the previous week and fully double those of a year ago. The general demand has been fair aftd prices well sustained com­ pared with closing a week ago. Live stock receipts, 324,528 bead, are slight­ ly over the corresponding week of 1902. Sheep advanced 16 cents per hundred weight. Choice beeves de­ clined 16 cents and hogs Closed weak with 60 cents loss. Dealings in provi­ sions showed best on domestic buy­ ing, and closing quotations were un­ changed in ribs, 5 cents higher in lard and 32Hi cents better in pork.

Decreases are hogs 22 per cent, wheat 23, rye 50, and wool 69. "Failures were 352 in the United States, against 233 last year, and fif­ teen in Canada, compared with twenty- two a year ago." JURY FINDS SAM PARKS GUILTY OF EXTORTION Agree That He Forced Contractors to Give Him $500 to Be Allowed to Continue Work. New York dispateh: Samuel J. Parks, walking delegate of House- smiths and Brldgemen's union, local No. 2, was again cohvlcted of extor­ tion in the Court of General Sessions It t6ok the jurymen just twelve min­ utes, in which time they took two ballots, to agree that Parks had ex­ torted $500 from the Tiffany studios, a firm of contractors, under threat of keeping them from continuing work on buildings last January. It was shown at the trial that Parks had obtained the $500 as an "initia­ tion fee" when the housesmiths and bridgemen were on strike on three of the Tiffany contracts in this city. Parks claimed that this money was a fine levied by his labor union. Later the fact developed that Parks had been disloyal to his union, inasmuch as he permitted the Tiffany firm to employ nonunion men on jobs after having re­ ceived the $500. This accusation was not denied by the defendant or his counsel during the trial, but it was contended th&t Parks had given the money to the treasurer of his organization, and that the entire transaction was a business deal, which, instead of being a crime, afforded considerable business advan­ tages to the firm which paid the money. Counsel for Parks endeavored to In­ troduce certificates as to the pris­ oner's delicate state of health, but Judge Newberger refused to admit them. UNION REPUDIATES SAM PARKS Conservatives Take Control and Will Oust Old Leader. New York special: Sam Parks, the convicted walking delegate of the Housesmiths' and Bridgemen's union, was in a measure repudiated by his own union, local No. 2. It remained for his archenemy, Buchanan, to give him the telling blow. He told the union it should be ashamed of its blind obedience to the commands of a criminal; told the men they were the shame of organized labor of this coun­ try and concluded by pointing out to them that the only possible outlook for peace and work was in accepting the aroitration plan. Wnen Buchanan had finished the conservative element was in absolute control and at the next meeting, it was announced, charges will be preferred against Parks and McCarthy, their conviction warranting the penalty o< dismissal from the union.. Human Chain Rescues Woman. St. Louis. Mo., special: E. P. Hen­ derson of tbe steamer Mississippi was bidding his wife good-by when she lost her balance and fell into the river.
