A sensational break of 32 points in the price of common .stock of the American To bacco Company on the curb market today resulted in a sharp reaction in the prices of leading active stocks during the first hour of trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Jesus As A Tempted Man In View of His Victory Over Si, it is Possible for all Christians to Win With Same Weapons ChristUsed. , Perhaps the finest of all his ad dresses in Charlotte was that yesterday morning at the First Presbyterian church, at 11 o'clock, when Dr. W. W. White spoke upon "Jesus as a Tempted Man," being a study of the book of Hebrews. He cruise wo expressions, "Consider Jesus" (chapter 3, verse 1), and "Run Looking" (chapter 12) as the basis of his study. . " . "The study of Hebrews," he said, "is especially appropriate to our own times. It represents Jesus as He is now. It is, in a sense, especiallyconnect- ed with the gospel of St. John,- which presents to us the historic Christ and with the book of Revelation, which pre sents Christ as the coming, future King. John presents Christ as a prophet, Hebrews as a priest and Reve lation as a coming King. The speaker briefly reviewed the book of Hebrews. The first and second chapters compare Jesus with the an gels,. Jesus being 'declared to be of a higher order. "Unto which of the an gels said He at any time, 'Sit thou on my right hand until I make my ene mies my footstool?" Jesus is shown to be God's own, true son, "The efful gence of His glory," "The express char acter of His person." God Himself stands out expressed in Jesus. You can impress an image upon wax. God's character . is . impressed upon Jesus. But more than that it is expressed there.

In the second chapter the writer of Hebrews proceeds to argue that in a sense Jesus is lower than the angels in" that He did not take the nature of angels but took the nature of Aora ham, a real man.

By Associated Prss. New York, ov. 9. Postmaster Edward M. Morgan was shot at 146th street and Broadway by a man who then shot and killed him self. 7 ' Morgan was shot through the stom ach and probably will die. He was taken to his home In an unconscious condition. The identity of his assailant has not been learned. The man was well dressed and about 40 years old. He died instantly after firing three shots into his head. Account of Shooting. The man who shot Morgan has been identified as Erich H: B. Mac kay, a stenographer. He had 'been employed by Hunt Hill and Betts, lawyers. He came from England nine years ago. Morgan had left his home in West 146th street for his office and had just reached the corner at Broad way when the man stepped in front of "him. There were several persons within a few feet of the two men, but none of them heard a word spoken and the first intimation they had of the trouble was when the shot rang out and Morgan fell to the pound with a bullet through his body. He lost consciousness immediately. For an. . instant after the shot had been fired -the : assailant stood look ing down upon his Victim. ... Then he raised his revolver . andr prssing it against his forehead, pulled the trig ger. The bullet did not cause a fatal wound and once more and then a third time the man sent a bullet crashing against his skull. The third ball' penetrated the brain and he fell dead. Several persons who witnessed the double shooting rushed up to the assistance of Mor gan. Morgan regained consciousness I while the physicians were working oh him. He said he never saw his assail ant until he confronted him this morning. He knows of no reason for the attack, he said. When the phy sicians made closer elimination they found that Morgan's ound was not so serious as at first supposed. -. - It is now believed the stomach was not penetrated and that the - post master has a chance for receovery. Only Excuse Known. The only excuse known' for the shooting was that Mackey had com plained to the authorities at Washing ton that his mail had been tampered with and that some one turned out the -electric light when he was reading by it in the corridor of the postomce. ) Mackay had received the reply that there was no evidence or tampering with his mail, and that the incident of the electric light was an accident.
