MANIAC FIRED TWO SHOTS INTO CROWD OF SCHOOLBOYS Who Had Been Bothering Him—One Boy Instantly Killed, Another ‘Wounded. New York, Jan. 12.—A black-beard- ed maniac wearing a black slouch hat, drew am automatic pistol from his long coat this afternoon and fired five shots into a crowd of Harlem school- boys who had been taunting him. Robert Lomas, six years old, was shot through the heart and died instantly. Arthur Shively, also six vears oid, was shot through the left Jung and was taken to a hospital eritically wound- The man in black, whom none of the frightened youngsters can describe accurately, shambled off into the bush- es and rocks surrounding the bo playground and was soon lost to sight. One hundred and fifty policemen and a posse of citizens are hunting for him. The woods nearby are encircled by police, the Harlem river is picket- ed, and the search is slowly tishten- ing it3 lines on the northern extremity of Manhattan island, but in the mean- time the murderer may have slipped into a downtown subway train and thus swiftly been borne to temporary safety. Fifty children just frced from school were coasting down the western slope of the speedway woods this afternoon, while a group of grownups stoed watching the sport. Among them was the man with the black Deard. He drew away from the crowd and edged up the side of the hill. Just then down came little Arthur Shively on his sled, whooping a caution to footfarers. His sled halted on a bare spot and as he stood up the madman whipped out his pistol and fired. No one can be found who saw the shot, but it was delivered at such close range that the boy's sweater Wwas scorched from the flame of its discharge. The boy shrieked and fell and in the subsequent excitement evervbody apparently thought of the boy and no- body of the man in plack, for he sham- bled off northwards, unpursued. it was some moments before a po- liceman arrived. The crowd was growing from all directlons at once, put-still without a leader or any del nite _intention. As Policeman Piar ran up a small boy tugged at the skirts of his coat. “He's up there,” gasped the boy, “and he's shot another hoy.” On the edge of the woods they found Robert. Lomas, dead. Stragglers ‘rought in reports that they had heard other sbots, five in all, but there are no definite clues. STORROW TAKES OUT RECOUNT PAPERS AS A PRECAUTION.

Third Big Slump- In Cotton Prices THE MARKET EXCITED AND DE MORALIZED. PANIG STRICKEN LONCS Regardiess of Prices—Loss from High Record of $8.40 a Bale. New York, Jan. 12.—There was a further big break in the cotton mar- ket today, making the third sensa- tional slump in prices since the move- ment started early last week. Panic- stricken longs in all parts of the world seemed to be liquidating their cotton regardless of prices and the action of the market was characterized by such intense excltement and demoralization as marked the series of sensational movements following the collapse of the Sully boom. 3 Declines Since Tuesday Night More Than $3.50 Per Bal For more than a vear the cotton market has been steadily advancing, and toward the end of last month prices had reached a level which, since the civil war, had only been equalled when Sully ‘was at the height of his fam contracts sold at 1617 and May at 16.46. culminating point of today' March contracts sold at 14.60 and Ma: at 14.78, a loss from the high record of from $7.85 to $.40 a bale. almost all of which has occurred during the past week. The declines from the clos- ing prices of last night amounted to more than $3,50 per bale, No_Financial Difficulties Precipitated. There does not appear to have been any change in general trade conditions o warrant the almost unprecedented slump in prices and in contrast with the Sully year no finanefal difficulties have been’ precipitated. Southern Spinners Bu ly. It Is apparent, however, that one aft- er another the big bull clicques which were organized independently during the Dig bull market have been liquid- ating. Possibly the selling movement was originally due to an effort to ob- tain profits on long lines owing to.the approach of the new planting season and the expectations of greatly in- creased area, while the absence of any speculative ‘short interest left the market with very little support. It was reported today that spinners were buying more freely in the south and late advices from the leading southern spot markets showed no material weakness. WHITNEY VALENTINE CO.
