from gunplay In Chinatown Monday
' night, wat tirrcd agiin yesterday
when an automobile tarrying (our
men burst into a crowd oi clothing
' Ktrtker. opened lire and dahcd
-. away, leaving right nun lying
wounded on the meet.
First report indicated that the
fray might be part of a labor war,
but upon investigation the police de
rided the fhooting occurred in con
nection with a hootleggera' feud and
that the wounded most of them
tailor had been dropped when they
attempted to Mop the car fleeing
from an attempted murder just
around the corner.
Start of Story.
The atory started at Second ave
nue and Fortieth street, where Jo
seph Xaiscri was standing in front
of his home. N'aoeri, according to
the police, was out on bail in connec
tion with the shooting of Silvio Tag-lianm.
four men, appeared and stopped.
Three of the new arrival;, got out
and began walking toward Nasseri.
As the trio approached Nasseri they
whipped out automatics and opened
fire. It was not the gunmen's bad
shooting, but Nasseri' skillful dodg
ing that saved his life.
One shot. Nasseri had side-stepped.
A hole was ripped in the shoulder of
his coat. Five more shots, Nasseri
had dropped to his knees. Five more
holes appeared this time in the crown
of his hat.
Toll of Innocents.
Then a volley but by this time
Nasseri had run upstairs. But the vol
ley which had left Nasseri unharmed
had taken its toll among the inno
cent bystanders who appear in almost
every story of a shooting, two men,
identified later as strikers, dropped,
seriously injured. More bullets,
crashing through the window of a
women's shop, lodged in two dum
mies. Bent on escape, the three gunmen
ran to rejoin their comrade ,in the
car. With grinding gears the car
turned into Fifth avenue.
Ahead of it was. massed 400 strik
ers. Some, having heard the shooting,
attempted to halt the car. The gun
men deliberately reloaded.
Another rolley of shots.
A gray pony hitched to a little cart
belonging to a lemonade peddler
reared crazily and fell to its side
with a bullet in its head. To right
and left men dropped six in addition
to the two felled around the corner.
The crowd drew back for a mo
ment. It was enough for,the car to
dash through and away. I

Without Broadcasting.
Tliere were ,110 broadcasting sta
tion licensed by the Department of
Commerce up to June 2 to send out
news, rntcrtainmrnt and market and
crop reports. This number would
haw been .114, except that four sta

lumbiaare the only ones which have
stopped broadcasting since last June,
according to officials of the Depart

whereas new stations are being li

New York are tied for third with 20
each, and 'Washington is a close
fourth with 19, Illinois has 13. Mis

Los Angeles Leads.
Only six states and territories are

Hampshire. Kentucky - and South

states with but one station.
Los Angeles, like its progressive
state, leads other cities in the num

Aiil Fanner in Getting
Fair Return for Tuber

BY GEORGE AUTHIER.
Hashing!" Cufrrspondml Omaha He.
Washington, Aug. 9, (Special
Telegram.) The Department of Ag
riculture announced today it has ob
tained better prices for the owners
of cattle which are slaughtered after
having reacted to the tuberculin test.
Heretofore, it has been the custom
when a "lenctor" was on the market
for the packers to hid it in for a
long, the owner standing the loss. In
many cases the carcass after hav
ing been inspected, was found fit for
beef purposes and as good as any
other href. In many cases, the "re
actor" will have, for example, only a
few lesions in the jaw, and the food
portion of the carcass is untouched.
There has been co-operation by the
Department of Agriculture through
the bureau of animal industry and the
tockvard admiiiistiation. During
the past sear, the matter has been
taken up with packing concerns, com
mission men and organizations inter
rtrd in the marketing of livctotk.
The department said today that as
a result much better price are now
being paid.
"I arcasses of "reactors."' the dr.
partmrnt statement savs, "that havp
been passed by the federal inpii
ton ate worth a much and are as
wholesome as any other carcasses.
There is no warrant for price dis
crimination against llirni; Many of the
leading packers at the big markets
and a large nunmber of the smaller
concerns on many markets now see
the justice of this view with the re
sult that reactors aie now selling
more nearly fair prices."
Figures on prices compiler bv the
department show that foi P'.'l-J.' the
increases in prices have been con
siderable and in a lv instance
reaching as much as 100 per cent.
In Kansas the avcr.ige price paid for
the cattle rose from $16.52 to $.W .'6;
in Minnesota from SI7.74 to S.'44;
in Missouri from $15.50 to $.U.".l; in
Wisconsin from $10.0 to $.'o.J5. In
18 states, including the livestock and
dairy states of the middle west and
a number of eastern states, the av
erage price patd increased alxvitt, S.t
a head. The department expects
still better prices.
