Pistol up1 Results In Serious In

New Torlt, Nov. 18. One man
was seriously wounded and the In
terior o fa restaurant on the lower
west side was wrecked In a pistol
duel early today In which more than
a score of shots were fired. Police
believe the affray resulted from a

testants in the duel which he
waged with three men, was shot
four times. Thus far he has re
fused to divulge any reason for the
attack. " Sullivan had entered the
restaurant and was eating with his
back toward the entrance when
three men opened lire on him
through the front window. The
bullets, shattering the plate glass,
ripped through crockery and fixtures
and drove patrons to cover.
Through the broken window a fusl
lade was fired and Sullivan dropped
with four bullets in his body.
Meanwhile he had emptied his
own pistol at his assailants without
effect. The men fled In a t&xicab
an descaped pursuing policemen.
Sullivan Is bring held at a local
hospital charged with illtgal posses
sion of a pistol.

Authority on Orient Made As
sistant Secretary ol State
Washington, Nov. IS. President
Coolidge today appointed John Van
A. MacMurray of New Jersey, an as
sistant secretary of slate.
Mr. MacMurray has been for a
number of years at the head of the
department's far eastern division,
and Is a recognized authority on
questions of the Orient. He lias
served In the diplomatic corps both
at Peking and Tokto.
In his new post he succeeds the
late A. A. Adee. An adjustment of
duties among the ranking depart
ment, officials Is in process as a re.
suit of the reorganization law passe,
at. the last session of congress end
while Mr. Afle devoted blms.lf
largely to the technique of drafting
diplomatic correspondence, Jdr. Mac
Murray probably will (rive special at
tention to relations with China and
Japan.
The new assistant secretary first
entered the diplomatic service in
13f7, becoming secretary of the le
gation at Bangkok. Later he filled
posts in the ranltals of Greece,
Montenegro and Russia and then
was brought to Washington for a
tour of duty in the state department.
As a result of a succession of pro
motions he was made chief of the
near eastern division In 1911. A
year later he. went to Peking as sec
retary of the American legation, and
in 1913 was transferred to Tokio as
counsellor of the American embassy
there. During the next .year he
again was assigned to Peking where
he was In charge of the legation for
several months and then after an
other tour of duty at Toklo beeame
assistant chief and then chief of the
far eastern division here.
Because of his intimate knowledge
of Chinese and Japanase problems
his advice was an important faetor
In shaping the American policies
during the Washington conference,
whose decisions regarding the fur
east he will help to carry into ef
fect in the post to which he was as
signed today.
Mr. MacMurray is 43 yejrs old
and as educated in law at Prince
ton and Columbia. He Is a native of
Pehenectady, N. T., but at the time
of his appointment to the diplomatic
service be was living in Princeton,
N. .!.
New Tork. Nov. IS. Another
flood of buying orders poured In
to today's stock market, lifting;
nearly 50 Issues to new peak
prices for the year In the first
two houra of trading on total sales I
In excess of 1,000,000 shars. So
scare wu the floating supply of
certain stocka that early galnej
ranged from 1 to 8 polnta when I
orders to "buy at the market" were
executed. j
Speculative interest which has
been shifting from group to group
In the last 10 days, waa concen-j
tra'ted largely on the railroad
shares,- 16 of which bettered their
previous maximum prices. The new
highs included New Tork Central,
Southern Railway, Frisco common,
Texaa & Pacific, the three Wabash
issues, Illinois Central common and
preferred, Missouri Pacific common
and preferred, Northern Pacific, Bal
timore & Ohio, Bt. Louis Southwest
en, Great Northern preferred and
Chicago and Northwestern some of
which sold at their best prices since
the beginning of the war. Frisco
common recorded the beat gains
with a jump of 3 polnta.
Soma of the outstanding indus
trials were Sears Roebuck, Ameri
can Ice, General Electric, Radio
Corporal ion and Savage Arms, all of
which sold 4 to 6 points higher.
Transfer of large blocks of stocks
Indicated purchases by powerful fi
nancial Interest but the bulk of the
demand undoubtedly cams from
small traders and Investors through
out the country, whose orders were
handled ly the large commission
houses, some of which have report
ed daily increases In business rang
ing from 300 to 1,000 pucra cent,
since the election.
Cominolity markets were mixed.
Cotton futures opened 25 to 35
points higher and then lost part of
their gain on prollt-taking. The grain
market was slightly reactionary.
Coffee prices, after declining 2
cents a pound yesterday, rallied
from 1-4 to 34c a pound today. Re
newed buying waa Induced on con
tinued reports of a crop shortage in
Brazil and estimates that present
world supplies were about 5,000,000
bags belowr requirements.
