GUNS TAKE
PLACE OF RIFLES
AMONG POLICE

Chicago, May 7.-Substitution of
the shotgun for the rifle is the latest
development in man-hunting by the
Chicago police The time-honored
rine-sQuad has given way to the pump
gun squad.
The reason for the change was thus
outlined by Michael Hughes, chief of
detectives.
In close-range fighting the pump
gun is much the more efficient weapon
for within 80 feet of the objective it
has 4 spread Of four feet. Each shot
carries nine rounds OF lead, CORE
spending in size to that in 3S re-
Volyer bullet"
"In strset-fghting, also, the chances
Of hitting the innocent bystander are
greatly minimized by the use of the
shotgun, because the effective range
10 so short.
"Tho other day we discovered a new
use for the shotgun. During a race
after bandits in an automobile, one OF
our men emptied his gun through the
rear curtain of the speeding machine
ahead. The hail of bullets stopped
that car as no rife shot would ever
have done.
"The gun we use has the shortest
stock. Every one OF the detective
cars carries these guns as regular
equipment" Jt 81 tt
Another innovation in the detective
bureaus equipment is a steel shield
as high a. mans head, from behint
which the operatives can direct, in
comparative safety, their fire at band
its barricaded In a building. This
portable armor is mounted on rollers
and Is light enough so that one MAI
can operate it. Port holes through
which to FIRE, and a heavy glass peel
hole are appurtenances.
Bombing, which is now a recog
nised part Of police tactics in Chicago
can be carried on with great impunit.
from the shelter of this shield, sait
Chief Hughes.

Wholesalers, Before
Business as Usual Can
Go Ahead.

New York, N r., May 27.-Full re-
turn to satisfactory business condi
tions will be slow until the minority
of business men and workmen who
have ignored the principles Of COM
mon honesty are aroused to the
necessity of sound and decent stan
dards of conduct, according to Elbsrt
H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation.
Speaking today before the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Institute, Mr..
Gary, who is president, said the
Americans are not buying enough to
supply themselves fully with the or
dinary comforts Of life, although they
have the disposition and the means
to do SO.
This, he explained, was due to the
opinion Of the purchasing public that
there has not been full and complete
readjustment of prices.
There is an abundance OF new
business he said. with both ability
and inclination to place 1t, waiting for
further adjustments which will put
costs Of living, selling prices, wage
rates and other general incomes on
a relative parity"
Present steel selling prices, Mr..
Gary declared, will not permit any
reduction until wages are further de-
creased. 1t would be unjust. he said,
to further reduce rates before the cost
OF living is reduced Retail rates for
many. commodities are much too high,
said Mr. Gary, while without justif1-
cation workmen's wages have been
advanced through reclassihcation &c
as to designate them as skilled mel
II think" he continued, there
have been and still are charged and
collected for certain commodities un-
reasonable and unfair, if not extor-

prices. The vast majority Of bushes,
men and workmen are sincere and
fair, but there is and perhaps always
will be a minority that ignores the
principles of common honesty. They
are sufficient in number to seriously
affect the whole situation.

Washington, August 27. - Imme-

the national prohibition act on which
storage charges are accruing was or
dered today by Prohibition Commits
sioner Haynes.

the courts for disposition orders for
all seized liquors, automobiles, boats
or other vehicles taken by the govern
ment for violations of the prohibition
laws.
Liquor such as "moonshine," adul-
terated and low proof liquor, having
no commercial value, should be de-
st Dyed, Mr. Haynes said, while the
higher proof and unadulterated liquor
should be diverted to commercial, but
not beverage, uses,
Incomplete reports from the various
districts, Mr.. Haynes said, estimate the
total value Of good liquors held by the
government at about s1.000,OOO.
