J'"' ' i I a " I i JOSEPH YANNO HAS CONCUSSION OP BRAIN $he of the Accused Asallants of ' Michael Volpe, Who Is at Emer gency Hospital with a Bullet Wound, Is in n More Dangerous Condition Than the Latter Sequel of Shooting on Dundaff Street 1 Which Lends to Arrest of Louis '' Firrlc, Who Is Committed to Jail. An untoolced for sequel has developed .com the shooting: anions Itnllans near the eloetrlu lighting station in the rear of Diindaff street on the night of Pe ueinber 11. Joseph Ynnno, who with Frnnk Mon flcdl. was released from the county Jail on ball, Saturday, on the charge of hoothiR Michael Volpe, ut present a jmtleiit tit Emergency .hospital,. Is .now the worse victim of the mlxed-up uh snult. lie 1m sufCerlnpr from What ap pears to bo a. concussion of tlic brain, hie to being felled with n club or u blow from the butt of a revolver during the exchange, lie Is in a Btupor at his home In the-Itutlan settlement on rjel niont street, and bis condition generally was such last night that Louis IMrrle, nf Hospital street, who was Volpe's companion in the lively doings, was ar rested and jailed to await the result of Vanno's Injtirks. Plrrle was taken before Alderman Jones by I'onstnble Nuary lust night mid after a healing was committed to i he city Jail. If Yanno Is no better to day, Attorney Joseph Hrciuiuu, who Is bis couiiM'l, will ask that Plnie be I'oni inltted to the comity Jail, without ball, to await the outcome of YiiiinoV condi tion. The Tribune Indicated after the shoot Ins: thai I ho defonsp of Vanno and Men ded! would be self-defense: that they were sot upon by Volpe and t'ltrle and beaten. This was proven at last night's healing, ulien .Ylonlledl' told a story that laid all the blame upon Volpe and 1'lrric. Monlledi s.tld that he and yanno 1-rt the saloon wlnne they had been playing cauls and drinking nnd making their exit through the bank door started for their homes on lielinont street. When they reached the electric lighting sta tion. Yanno slopped to light his pipe. Monlledi continued at a moderate pace, and when ho looked behind for Yanno, hi sow two men attacking the latter. When he reached the trio Yanno was prostrate. He hud been felled with a dub or u blow from a revolver, and as he lay on the ground Plnie was kick ing him. Dr. W. A. Dixon, who attended Yanno the day after the assault, among other things, closing a scalp wound, testified that he was again called to attend Volpe on .Sunday. He found him suffer ing with symptoms characteristic of a re-action from a brain contusion, which was produced by the blow that felled him. There was a possibility, the phy sician said, or serious complications that sometimes follow in such cases. What turn Yanno's case might take the could not say positively Tor a' few days at least. On the strength of this testi mony, Plnie was committed without bnil. Yanno suffered considerably while lie ivas in jail awaiting the result or Volpe's bullet wound, and had to have the at tendance of the jail surgeon. Since he came home. Saturday, he has suffered from severe pains In the head and sleep lessness. These symptoms are charac teristic of convalescence in a case like Yanno's, but are sometimes followed by dangerous complications. Until the danger of these Is removed, Plnie will be kept conllned. The healing last night developed that there is considerable feeling' between the Italians who live on lielinont street and those whose homes are In the col ony on the West Side hill. Evidences of this cropped out frequently during the meeting In Alderman Jones' otllce. enthusiastic or the St. Aloyslus soci ety, After Hie election of ohicers, an entertainment nnd smoker wcr'e en joyed. The society had as a guest of honor, ,T, Wellington Grunt, president of the district. The election resulted , as follows: President, T. J, ailhool; vlcu-presldcntj John ,T. Dovnnoy: financial secretary, Joseph Mannlon; recording secretary, James P. Conerton; marshal, T. F. Too lan: Hcrgeant-ut-nrms, Edward Cou ncil: trustees, Edward Golden, John Devnney, Edward Conerton. Tho programme at the entertainment was enjoyably given, as follows: Vocal solo, Frank Mannlon; vocal solo, Will iam Bradley; vocal solo, John Mur phy; violin solo, Edward Carroll; piano solo, John Cavanatigh; vocal solo, James Convey; vocal solo, Thomas Toolan; vocal solo, Frank Nealon. After tho entertainment, President T. J, Qllhool made a few remarks, STOCK ALL TAKEN. The New Bank Projectors Are Beady for Organization Meeting to Be Called in a Few Days. The new bank project of Carbondale business men Is an established cer tainty and Its success seems positive In the face of the assurances which have been received from among those whose support was sought. All of the proposed $100,000 of capital has been subscribed. The last sub scription was received Saturday even ing. It was remarkable and extra ordinary, the enthusiastic response the project met with. This enthusiasm spread with electric swiftness and It was soon apparent that all prospective stockholders could not be accommo dated. If there was a bigger Issue It could be disposed of, as there are some desirous and anxious of subscribing, who could not get any stock. The avid ity with -which this bank stock offer was seized leads one to comment how different Is the reception that la in variably given a factory project or In dustrial enterprise of any sort that seeks an entrance here. The next move in the project will be the calling of a meeting for organiza tion and the application for a charter. This meeting will be called within a few days, when the holiday business relaxes somewhat. m T hub KIDNEYS WEAR? Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It. AMUSEMENTS. LOGAN SENT TO JAIL.

Allan Dale, the well-known New York theatrical critic, speaking of the mer its of various shows, says: "People want to laugh. To do this, go to the theatre this week where the Wills Brothers are playing 'In Atlantic City.' I went. I laughed and It was a lasting laugh; one of those kind that when I think of It now It brings a smile of remembrance that will cause me to go and seo it some time again.

Please see that the salespeople get your name and address correct. Christmas Gossip. One woman said: "Oh, if I could only allow $5 apiece for each of my thirty presents! But I cant, and a dollar-and-' a-half or two dollars at the most won't buy anything." And g she wound up by saying: "I hate Christmas. That H woman is clearly wrong. Her spirit and feeling are wrong ; H her mental attitude is wrong and her eyes are wrong. j This is the time of year when material things give way J to spiritual. It isn't the gift or what it costs that counts; it's v the spirit in the gift. Being remembered is what brings joy, S not the extravagance of the remembrance. There are thous 5J ands of gifts here for $1 and $2 as anybody who uses his 5 legs and his eyes can see. Women's , Neckwear The dainty little stocks that women are wearing now make lovely Christmas gifts. Ready made they cost less than if made at home. 50c, 75c, $1.00. Tucked stocks,with long ends that cross at the back and come around to fasten or tic in front, are among the prettiest. All sorts of fluffy jabots in boxes, 50c, 75c, $1 and $1.25, made silk. of chiffon and Liberty Can't begin to tell you every- thiin Christmas Umbrellas Let us start with some spe cial news $5 Umbrellas for $15.75. Good, close, rolling silk, and well made. They have han dles of long pearl, with sterling silver caps; also ivory and buckhorn, trimmed with silver. In the regular holiday collec tion are rare things, such as carved ivories with silver de posit, steel handles, inlaid with gold, amber handles banded with gold. And of Hie plainer sorts silver and gold in less extravagant designs, and wood en handles by the thousand. Prices range from 75c. to $15,00 Women's Handkerchiefs Here is .the greatest bargain, perhaps, we ever had in white embroidered hemstitched hand kerchiefs ; 9c each, or $1.00 a dozen; 50c a half dozen for new, fresh, perfect Handker chiefs that usually sell for 15c to 25c each. Not a thing wrong with them even the hem is the fine nar rov kind that everybody wants. Don't ask us how wc got them it's enough that they're here. Furs Some men are so skilled in the feel and look of furs as to be able "'to tell almost the de grees of latitude and longitude in which the animal lived. It is such skill combined with the advantages of an enormous business, that enter into our furs. We sell as merchants, and are satisfied with a mer chant's profit. Hut the skill used in the selection of our furs is the same quality which makes great furriers famous. So our furs are fine skilful ly chosen; and the prices are at least 25 per cent, under the market. Gloves Two holiday suggestions from the Glove Store.
