BUYING ORDERS SCARCE No Known Cause for Depression Aside From Political Considerations and_ Rumors Tgat Federal Author- Ities Were About to Institute Pro- ceedings Against Some Large Indus- trial Corporations. New York, Sept. 23.—Stocks had enother sensational break after an hour of uncertain and irregular fluc- tuations. On the decline such infiu- ential stocks as Union Pacific, South- ern Pacific and Amalgamated Copper broke half a point between sales of small blocks, in some cases only of 100 shaves. At intervals there were transactions in blocks of several thou- sand shares. Professional operations on the bear side were evident not only in the manner of the decline but in the quick rallies on short covering. The bulls made an effective opposi- tion, however, in the form of support- ing orders: Brokers on the floor of the Stock Exchange reported the mar- ket practically bare of buying orders. The violent break came, however, aft- er some show of recovery and of pos- itive strength in the few stocks. The fall overnight reached 3% in Dela- ware and Hudson, 3% in Louisville and Nashville, 3 in Union Pacific and Illinois Central, 2% in Anaconda, 2 in certificates and Amalgamated Copper and 1% in Southern Pacific and Unit- ed States Steel. Apart from the political considera- tions and rumors that federal author- ities were about to intitute proceed- ings against some of the large indus- trial corporations, including the elec- trical companies, thére was no news to account for the break. Just before noon the market was at its weakest. The rapid fall in prices and the wip- ing out of margins created uneasiness and added to the heavy selling. Union Pacific broke through 150 amid great excilement and there were declines of 3 to 6 points in Reading, Amalga- mated Copper, lllinois Central, Louis- ville and Nashville, Southern Pacific and others. BLACK HAND AVENGES COMRADES IN PRISON Tenement House Fred and Many Lives Imperilled. New York, Sept. 23.—One man was seriously hurt, a dozen or more were rescued_from impending death by po- licemen and firemen and the lives of & hnundred more were imperrilled when members of a Black Hand band sought to avenge two of their fellows who are now serving terms in prison for at- tempting to blackmail tenants in the big apartment house at 333 West One Hundred and Thirteenth street. Al- most immediately after these two men had been sentenced occupants of the house received letters bearing the Black Hand signature warning them that the house would be destroyed. That the threats were not idle be- came apparent when a passing police- man saw smoke pouring from the street door and opened it to find the hall a mass of flames. Already the tenants had been aroused by the stifling smoke and finding exit by way of the stair cut off were crowding the fire escapes. So great was the press that many of the weaker omnes were overcome before tihey could get {hrough the windows. One man, Ni- cola Devilo, became panic stricken and sprang through a third story window to the street. Policemen and firemen had a busy time for a few minutes helping the frightened tenants down from fire escapes and high windows and in carrying from the burning building a number of persons Wwho had fallen unconscious from inhaling smoke. The fire was extinguished aft- er it had caused damage to the extent of about $3,000.
