by tree, put not Qulck enough to escape the accurate aim of Schmidt. The first policeman received two bullets in his body and the second one four, and both died sometime later.
 After the two men had been shot down, Schmidt took to his heels. and Hanot rushed to the prostrate men and, taking one of their guns, set off after the bandit. He saw
 Schmidt dodge in between some automobiles in his flight and disap- peared and that is the last that Hanot saw of him, but he heard two shots that were fired by the bandit as he ran down another street. Returning to the two dying officers, who still lay where they had fallen, one fiat on the sidewalk and the other in a crouching position, he called to woman in a doorway to phone to the police station and inside a few moments there was small army of officers on the scene, and big crowd of spectators. Hanot described Schmidt as best he could and a search was started, re- sulting less than an hour later, in the discovery of the murderer in another part of the city. It appears that he had run down side street, after disappearing among the autos, thence through a vacant, muddy lot to another street, where he boarded a street car, and rode for some distance. After he had left the car, he was spied by Detective O'Brion and another officer, his description tallying with the one Hanot had given. But when O'Brion reached out to put his hand on Schmidts shoulder, the bandit shot him in the head, killing him instantly. Then an- other chase started, resulting finally in the capture of the bandit, and a speedy trial, following which he was sentenced to death.
 Previous to the Seattle murders, Schmidt killed a man in Olympia and, as already recorded in the press dispatches to The News, the bandit made clean breast of all his misdeeds, after being taken into custody. He was an expert shot and as familiar with the various makes of revolvers as a hardware man.
 Hanot's name did not appear in the early accounts of the shooting for the reason that he requested that it be not used. He thought per haps Schmidt might have a pal in the city and he did not care for any more experiences of the kind he had been through. In fact, he says he did not realize what risks he took until the thing was all over And then he almost had nervous breakdown. ...
 Aside from the Schmidt experi- ence, and getting married, the old timer says that he did not have any excitement Outside, and the city life and roaming around by auto had become wearisome when he started back for Pedro creek. It's all very nice for time, he says, but in the end Alaska has the big appeal. And he says there are many in the States who feel just as he does about the North. He predicts that most of the oldtimers who can do so, will be coming back before the summer is over, and quite number of them are already on the way. All the boats are crowded and reservations are spoken for far in advance.

COAL DISPUTE DRAGS ON

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921 by THE NEW YosK HERALD
New York Herrld Bureau.
London, May l.
The two outstanding events of the
week were the announcement of the
conversion loan and the reduction in
the Bank rate. Both made for strength
in the gilt edge group where the bulk
of the investment business is done.
Naturally. the coal dispute continued
to claim attention and at one time
there was some fear or a partial or
national railroad strike. But the gem
eral ton, of the markets kept firm, and
while cheaper money is helping to
strengthen investment values specula-
tive interests show some increase. The
dollar securities were adversely affected
by the rise In the New York EXCHANGE,
The foreign market showed a notable
demand for long neglected bonds. such
as those of France, Italy and Portugal.
There is an idea that something sub
stantial will be received before long
from Germany which will go to reha-
bilitate the finances of other countries.
Individual support by big interests IS
at the moment the chief stay of busl-
ness. The public is slow to follow the
lead. Shells are very prominent in this
connection, with the prospects OF Sc
curing the rights to the Djambi con-
cessions in Sumatra. In the same man
ner Anglo-Americans favored the ap-
plication of the Standard Oil interests
for participation in the exploitation OF
the Djambi field.
There was a further moderate I'M
provement also in Mexican eagles, but
here a level has been reached at which
the selling limit appears to exist. Al
though many rubber plantations are
showing good profits for the year, divi-
dends are the exception rather than the
rule.
Various schemes are afoot to rehabili-
tate the commodity market, and If one
can be devised that will unite prac-
tically the entire industry under COM
mon policy much will have been ac-
complished. The latter proposal IS Tor
corporation to buy up the surplus
stocks of rubber and impose drastic
restrictions on the output. The crux
of the proposals is the matter OF
finance The planting companies are
scarcely in a position to put up some
s17. 900, ,OC0 said to be required by the
scheme to put them in the position to
cease adding to the surplus and thus
effect the necessary reductions in stocks
without having to take recourse to the
doubtful and costly expedient of an at
tempted corner of supplies
Despite the deplorable effects of the
coal crisis Capel Court persists In look
ing at the brighter side of the picture

nical condition of the market, when

slightest provocation.
The reduced bank rate signifies that
the dear money policy has been defi-
nitely abandoned and it is only ques-
ton Of time before further reductions
will be seen. Consequently investment
values should continue to appreciate
until a standard yield is obtainable
