JUAREZ, Mexico., May 22.—If President Diaz and Vice President Corral resign by June !, the conditional peace treaty, signed here last night, will automatically become a final peace pact. If they continue In office the treaty will expire, and hostilities will recommence. (By United Press.) The police say that the shooting was undoubtedly accidental.

NEW YORK, May 22. Dreaming that he was battling with a burglar, John McAleenan, aged 3G, son of "McAleenan, the pawnbroker," who is famous on the Great White Way, put a bullet through his head early today and died two hours later. (By United Press.) Sendrlc escaped in the darkness. A posse trailed him to an abandoned mine, all of the entrances of which have been placed under guard. When the smoke cleared away four men were piled in a heap on the floor, three of them being dead. When driven from the shack the murderer stood on an embankment outside and pumped a lead automatic gun through the open door. The wholesale slaughter resulted from a beating administered to Dick Sendric after his alleged discovery that there were five aces in a deck of cards with which the men were playing. KITTANNING, May 22.—1 ■oases are today searching the country about here for "Dick" Sendric, the triple murderer, who last night at Kaylor, a small milting town In the northern part of Armstrong county, shot and killed Charles Sendric, his brother, Andy and Roco Braltie, two brothers, and fatally wounded Walter Spilisli.

He Is survived by two brothers: George, of Derry, and Charles, of Avonmore. Funeral services were held at the late home of the deceased Sunday afternoon.Constable Shoots Himself ThrouRli Henri in Front of (>»n Home INDIANA., May 22.—Constable B. P. Eckenrode, of Saltsburg, com milted suicide at 5:30 Friday morning, by shooting himself through Liuhead in front of his residence on Salt istreet. Eckenrode was the constable arid health officer of Saltsburg for a number of years and was known to every, one in that town, having resided there all ltls life. His action was a . great shock to those who were ac-J qualntetd with him. On Thursday Eckenrode came to Ills home in Saltsburg from '*-vl t Park, where he had been for a day 01 two. He had been drinking lieavil} for the past three weeks and was to- | lug to straighten up. ,.,r This niorningKtiS- i ETAOIM Friday morniing he arose as usual and his wife did not think that there was anything the matter with him. He went out, and in front of his home shot himself through the head. His wife ran from the house and the neighbors, aroused by the shot, hurried to the spot, but Eckenrode was dead, having died almost instantly. There was no eye-witness to the deed The market's technical situation has unquestionably been greatly Improved as a result of the supremo court's action. During the recent long-continued period of dullness and depression public participation in the stock market reached very negligible proportions. Many small holders became discouraged and sold out, and among others the disposition was to enter short commitment. 11,1 *• when the full significance of the court's ruling on the Industrial situation became appreciated there was a combined demand that quickly absorbed the comparatively small supply of floating securities. Those who sold their securities and have now begun to repurchase remember when Union Pacific, for Instance, was selling at nearly 220, as against 1S:i at present, and when Steel common was In the nineties Instead of about 80. Sherman law was enacted, primarily, to put on the national statute books the penalties of the common law in regard to trade restrain. This is something that Senator Hoar very clearly expressed (luring the period that the Sherman law was under discussion before its enactment. He showed that there was not any common law of the United States and that the common law prevailing in the sepatrate states of the union could not, as such, be enforced by the federal courts by means of any peualty or punishment. This explanation affords considerable light on the decision tliaL has just been announced, for It follows the common law principle that restraint of trade to be punishable must be unreasonable —that is to say, it must restrain competition to an extent that will cause direct harm to the public investments.Governor Tener has made It known to the Legislative leaders that should the bill not become a law he will see to It that it shall be again introduced when the next Legislature meets two years hence. The opposition to this bill in the Senate has been so pronounced that those who have been most active in pressing for its passage, have practically given up the thought of putting it through at this session of the Legislature. While Governor Tener is insisting upon the passage of his bill, and still hopes to see it become a law, he will not go so far as to reconvene the General Assembly should his wishes not be complied with In this respect. PHILADELPHIA, May 22.—Following a conference between Senator Penrose and Governor Tener yesterday, it was authoritatively announced that there will be no call for a special session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, no matter what action shall be taken upon the Governor's bill providing for a State Public Service Commission. Memorial services will be held at Covode on May 30, beginning at 10 o'clock. Comrade Woods, of Clearfield, will deliver the address. A memorial sermon will be delivered on Sunday afternoon, May 28, by the local pastor, Rev. O. E. Dodkey. Continued on Page Two. NEW YORK, May 22. Stock exchange securities have tills week cordially reflected the broad-minded interpretation of the Sherman law contained the supreme court's decision in the Standard 1)11 case. So far as the Oil company itself is concerned, the ruling could scarcely have been more drastic, for it leaves the corporation 110 choice but to dissolve and abandon Its present combination method of doing business This will Involve the distribution 01 the corporation's assets of all kinds among its stockholders and the reestablishment of what are at present subsidiary companies on a practical working basts as independent concerns. it is a process which means in its turn the division of the securities of the subsidiary organizations among the many holders of the at present parent organization. The result, It will be seen, is not necessarily a great hardship, aside from the tremendous amount of clerical work involved. Willie every effort will, of course, be made to comply with the court's decree, the fact will remain that the ownership of the various subsidiary organizations will still remain under the control of the majority ownership of the present holding company. The court pro> vides that the constituent companies may contract and agree with each other. There will probably, therefore, be no serious financial losses to stockholders. But it Is the broader question Involved in the decision that Is responsible for the relief that his been shown In financial circles since the decision was promulgated. Ttt. oourt has given a not unexpected interpretation to the statute by decla - ing that it forbids only unreasonable restraint of trade—restraint by which the public at large is a sufferer, flic V' ' -, ■■■■ i--Tinir • ■ H#»i WESfHSBp m ■V »
