On the downturn, shorts became active buyers and gave prices a material lift After opening unchanged to e off with May 84 to 85 H. the market scored moderate general gains. Provisions weakened owing to a falling off In shipments. Besides hog arrivals here for March were shown to have been the most plentiful ever known for this time of the year.

Continued From Page One. between gamblers and certain policemen, was summoned to the sidewalk in front of the former Metropole hotel and there shot and killed by a gang of gunmen who, it was later charged, were hired by Charles Becker, a police lieutenant, to commit the crime. Becker and four gunmen were convicted of murder and died in the electric chair at Sing Sing. Watch Schepp's Place. The police said that Schepp's place, established after the Rosenthal shooting, and the convictions which resulted, has recently been under their observation. Up to the time of his arrest the

district attorney withheld the reason for' desiring Schepps' appearance. It was not asserted that he was near when Cohen was shot but the police declare that he is identified in the inquiry as a friend of a woman who.

with two men. was arrested last week upon information furnished by

"Harry the Yot." Ready to Testify. Cohen, according to Assistant Dis

trict Attorney James E. Smith had

for several weeks been a secret infor

mer, known to the underworld as a "stool pigeon." Cohen telephoned to the prosecutor some time ago and said he had been "trimmed at a crooked wheel" in a hotel and volun

teered his services in helping in the gambling crusade.

Against the, advice of the assistant prosecutor, Cohen several times visited Mr. Smith's house openly with in

formation which was considered valuable. At daylight this .morning, Cohen telephoned to Mr. Smith asking him to meet him at Fifth avenue and 36th street at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. "Be ready to hit the mob,' said "Harry the Yot" alluding to the gamblers. 'Tve got the goods on the main man." The next Mr. Smith heard. Cohen was dead with three bullets in his body. Hurrying to the scene of the shooting, a hall lobby in the west 92nd street apartment where Cohen lived with his wife, Mr. Smith was informed that Cohen as killed by a man as yet unidentified. A negro hall boy furnished the police with a

description of the slayer, whom he had pursued as far as Central Park where the man made his escape by boarding a car. Cohen was 38 years old.

MEN LOST IN MOUNTAINS ARE FOUND BY SEARCHERS CALEXICO., April 1. L. D. Haile and "Ten Day" Jack Turner, who were lost in the mountains near this place, and for whom several hunting parties were formed, have been found.

STRICKLAND OUT

FOR NOMINATION FROM THE SIXTH

Greenfield Democrat ill Enter Race for United States Congress. Harry G. Strickland of Greenfield, has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for representative in congress from the Sixth district at the forthcoming primary. "My platform," said Mr. Strickland over the long distance telephone to the Palladium. "Is patriotism and stand behind Woodrow Wilson." Strickland was a member of the lower house of the state legislature in

1907. 1909 and 1911. He was at one time city clerk in Greenfield where he owns a successful grocery business. Strickland was born in Centerville and his father, R. J. Strickland, formerly publisher of the Wayne Chronicle at Centerville, was one of the oldest newspaper men in the county. He was also interested in newspapers at Cambridge City and Richmond. Learned Printer' Trade. Harry G. Strickland at that time was employed in his father's plant as a printer, and later accepted a position in the government printing plant at Washington under President Cleveland's administration.

Strickland said he probably would be in Richmond this week to confer with his Democratic friends and supporters. Fraternally he Is a thirty-third degree Mason and past grand commander of the Indiana lodge. Considers Step. For several days Mr. Strickland has been considering the advisability of seeking the congressional nomination, but did not file his papers with the secretary of state until last Friday. As less than a week remains in which candidates may file papers with the secretary of state, and no other announcement for the congressional nomination on the Democratic ticket has been made, It seems likely that Mr. Strickland will meet with no opposition. The same condition exists on

the Republican ticket, leaving a clear field for Representative Elliot These two men will fight it out at the election next fall, as their nominations seems assured.
