NEW RIFLE FOR FRENCH ARMY
American Array OmeeTs say ~ is No
better Than Yankee
Arm.

WASHINGTON. July n.--A sample Of the
new French small arm, the improved
Lebel rife, has been received at the war
department and is being carefully exam
ined by the experts. The gun is about
four inches longer than the new American
rife. slightly smaller in csliber and a pound
or two heavier but It does not appear that
IL surpasses the American arm in range,
accuracy or other valuable qualities. The
magazine extends on q line with the bar
rel. like an American sporting rife. and
the gun uses no clips; consequently Il is
much slower 10 load than our own gun.
The center OF gravity is continually shift
ing with the movement of the ammunition
In the magazine and there is danger that
a shell IN the magazine might be exploded
by a sharp blow OF the stock upon the
ground, causing the pointed bullet of one
shell 10 strike the primer Of the one above
II. The square-ribbed bayonet, over
twenty Inches in length. fitted with a sword
handle Of aluminium, gives the French gun
a formidable appearance. but our ordnance
officers think better OF our knife bayonet.

ceedings were begun today in the circuit
court by Circuit Attorney Sager against
the Polar Wave Ice and Fuel company

account OF the alleged unlawful consolids-
tion OF seven companies. The suit also

consolidated are the American Ice and Coal
company, the Muckerman Ice and Coal
company. the Union Ice company the
Creve Coeur Lake Ice company, the Huse
