The police were told that the two engaged in a friendly argument in the blacksmith's shop, McMahon defending the N.R.A. against the criticisms of his visitor. As the argument grew heated the men began to hurl tools at each other. Finally the blacksmith drew a pistol and shot Cahill.

FORD AND CODE LAWS. COMPLIANCE URGED BY TRADE. WASHINGTON, November 1. The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce has iu*ged the Ford Motor Company to submit the report on wages and hours required by the industry's code. This is evidence that Mr. Ford's compliance with one of the requirements of the code has not settled his status in regard to Government contracts. The Finance Committee of the Chicago City Council yesterday recommended the purchase of 38 new Ford cars. No mention was made of Mr. Ford's dispute with the N.R.A. The Governors of five States in the Middle West and representatives of four others have signed a letter to President Roosevelt urging an N.R.A. code for agriculture, fixed minimum prices for basic farm products and inflation of the currency.

COFFERS REPLENISHED. BANKERS RESCUE NEW YORK. NEW YORK, November 1. New York City once again has been saved from acute financial embarrassment and inability to pay salaries and wages. Backers under a financing agreement yesterday put 25,000,000 dollars at the comptroller's disposal. Thirty-seven banks supplied the money at 4 per cent. This action will permit of the payment of teachers, hospital staffs, the police, etc., who recently have.been more than once faced by empty city coffers.
