philadelphia June 20.-As a result of the as
signment of the United States Trust Company
the police are looking for Henry r. Mcdowell,
IFS president q member of the New-1ork bar
to arrest him IN information sworn TO by
Charles T. Brown, assignee, charging him with
larceny of the comDany's securities and embez-
element of its funds to the value of S'oUn
1t is believed however that Mcdowell is already
on his way Europe.
Mcdowell was elected president Of the COM
pany about six months ago. There were ten
thousand shares of stock. at a par value or S-o-
The first thing Mcdowell did. il is said. was to
secure the authorize ton of ten thousand addt-
tionaI shares with face value of S2Jo,OOo.
which were given to him for negotiation In
addition to this when he was made president
there were intrusted TO him securities to the
va ue of $4,000 To meet the expenses of the
concern notes were given. These matured
within the last few days and the amount neces-
sary 10 paw them could not be found by the
treasurer. A meeting of the officers was called
and an assignment made on Tuesday to
Charles l.. Brown.
Mr. Brown. after an investigation. demanded
a return of the securities. but informed
that Mcdowell had left New-YOrk for Boston.
Further INQUIRIES have led him TO believe that
the missing president has sailed on steamer
for Europe.

REVOLUTION IN WARFARE
CAN SUPPRESS FLASH AND
SOUND OF FIRING.
Copy right; 1902: BY The Tribune Association

Especial to The New York Tribune by Cable,
Paris, June 20.-Coonel Humbert, a French
artillery officer whose technical knowledge and
experience carry great weight, has invented an
apparatus which, applied 10 a rife or TO a rapid
firing cannon, completely suppresses the FASH
sound and smoke, of black gunpowder
Colonel Humbert says:
II have succeeded in converting the explosive
powder which has been known for centuries into
motor power giving impulse to projectiles
from rifles and cannons without report. without
smoke without flash without recoil and with
out any diminution of force effect
The military authorities here attach supreme
Importance TO this discovery. which they con-
slider will bring about complete revolution in
the methods of warfare of the twentieth GEN.
tury- c l. b
II 1t were possible fire either small or
artillery in such a that the flash and noise
Of the explosion suppressed, well as the
smoke. an army could be down without be-
ing able locate its assailants- The possessor OF
such a of warfare would enjoy immense
advantage. That the combustion of any known
explosive agent thus be altered simply by the
addition Of a mechanical contrivance to gun is
incredible. though that this story will need con-
less powder differs from the old fashioned gun
powder in chemical composition. and this differ
enCe permits more complete combustion than was
possible before But Colonel Humbert does not
profess. apparently, TO introduce a new explosive
into service. He applies his invention TO all kinds
of powder now in use Concerning the possibility

Not long ago it became necessary
for one OF the railroads to build a

CINE was sent Town there with the first

CINE was placed alongside the road un-
