CORRESPONDENCE FROM
Washington, d.
Jan. %, 1912.
The United States army off
Gals have adopted a new style of
bullet which has aroused the In
terests of Billy Kent, congress
man from California, who has
been experimenting with the
bullet on his own account. Kent
is famous hunter. He does all
the fancy stunts known with a
rifle or revolver, from shooting
out the fame of "a distant candle
to erasing the mark from the ace
of spades. -
Kent says that the new bullet
will mean sure death every man
hit. At short range the bullet,
which is about the caliber of
lead pencil, and is long and steel
tipped, will go right through,
leaving scarcely any impression
except a neat hole which closes
behind it. This wound would
hardly stop the victim, A dog,
shot in this way will continue to
run for long distance.
However, at longer range,
the bullet acquires disposition
to trip, and when it strikes any
thing like a mans body it ac-
quires tumbling motion which
tears a large, Jagged channel and
is frightfully destructive 1t IS

There is a movement on in
Washington to secure a public
utilities commission, and those
who have investigated have come
to the conclusion that the com
mission which LaFollette gave to
Wisconsin is the best model to
adopt for such new law.
Senator LaFollette is working
day and night in the preparation
of a trust bill. When Senator La
Toilette starts to write a bill it
means that all the sources of m
formation in the country are
drawn upon and all the men best
posted on the subject are brought
in as assistants.

southern spot advices seemed to account
for the renewed strength of the market,
