NEW YoRK

NEW YORK, May 29.---After ad-
vancing into new high grounds Tor the
movement at the opening today, the
cotton market eased off under realiz-
ing or liquidation and for good part
of the days business was attributed
30 evening up of accounts for over
the holiday tomorrow, or the govern
ment crhpp report on Friday. October
sold off from 20.S5 to 20.42 and closed
at 20.47 with the general market clos
ing steady at net decline of to 10
points.
The market started firm at an adj
vance of Z to "a points in response
to steady Liverpool cables, favorable
reports from the Manchester goods
market and reports of scattering rains
or showers in the south over Sunday
July was relatively firm, selling up TO
.21.25 on covering while December con-
tracts advanced to 20.66, making new
high grounds for the movement on
Liverpool buying and scattering sup
port from trade or commission houses.
The advance met eopsiderable south :
ern selling and reahzing, however, ana
prices soon turned easier. The dis
position to even up long contracts FOR
over the holidays was probably IN
creased by reports that some OF the
private crop advices from the south
west were beginning to show an inn
proyement, and prospects for some
what better weather in the south.
There was also feeling that the mar
<et had pretty well discounted an end
Nav condition of below 20, and one of
the private reports published today,
placing the condition at 72,1 may have
accounted for some of the selling. At
any rate there was not a great deal
of support after the early buying had
been supplied, and the market gradu-
ally worked off to 2O.S2 for July and
1929 for December or about is to "a
points net lower.
The close was within six or seven
points Of the lowest. The other priv
ate condition reports were issued, one
of them placing the condition at 67.9,
the increase in acreage at SO percent
and the indicated crop at 1o,296,0OO
bales, while another made the con-
dition 676 and the indicated crop TO-
2S0,000 bales.

into the pit bored a hole lot over
eight inches in diameter.
The spectacular event of tie after
noon was the ending of the thief chase.
The seven passenger car, unmanned,
was driven with throttle open up the
club house road toward high gravel
pit Following close behind came a
police car with three officers armed
with anti-bandit guns. Playing the
weapon across the rear of the machine
the flow OF bullets caught the tires
and they shot high in the air. The
same shots tore into the rims and the
machine came to a stop.
Leaping from their car, the gunners
concentrated their fire on the body of
the automobile. In slightly less than
one minute the canopy had been ripped
off, the steering gear demolished, the
radiator reduced to scrap iron, the
wheels literally blown from their
axles and the tonneau made to look
much like a kitchen colander. Nothing
larger than a hamming bird could have
escaped death in that car.
AT the expiration, of a minute one
incendiary bullet was fired into the
gas tank and the. next instant what
was left of the automobile was a rag
ing furnace. The fire was allowed to
burn itself out and then an inspee-
ton was made of the chassis. This
was found to be riddled with bullets
which had perforated every part of the
heavy steel structure.
The police spoke in high praise of
the weapon, primarily because it can
be used without bringing death to
lawbreakers. They. pointed out that
the birdshot charge is much less than
that used in an ordinary shotgun but
it would have the effect of stopping
a fugitive and without seriously in
juring him. But they were also pleased
that in the event Of real trouble the
pressure of a button would throw
ball cartridges into the chamber with
most damaging results. No other gun
ever Invented can make this switch.

Is Invention of Gen. John T.
Thompson, Retired Officer
of the u. S. Army

NEW YORK, May 27.-A new anti
bandit gun which shoots at the rate
of 200 shots a minute and can change
from 45-calibre steel jacketed bullets
to fine birdshot in the twinkling of
an eye. was recently demonstrated at
Tenafly ~ j, before a distinguished
gathering Of city and police officials
of New York. the district attorney and
representatives of the United States
army Nothing like this marvellous
engine OF defense had ever before been
seen, and at the close Of the tests
the official party was free in express
ing its establishment.
The demonstration was conducted in
person by Gen. John T. Thompson. u.

The Markets
THE FINANCIAL MARKET


NEW YORK. May 2e.-Coming be-
tween the weekend recess and an Inn
pending holiday, today's stock market
session displayed unexpected activity
breach and strength.
Speculative interest continued to
center in the transportations. the wage
cut by the railroad labor board evil
IDENTIFY being regarded as a decided
offset to the forthcoming reduction in
freight rates.
Numerous railway issues were lifted
one to two points during the forenoon
but a considerable part of this gain
was cancelled or materially reduced
later on expectations that mainten-
anee of way and railway shop en-
pIoyees might order strike vote on
the wage question.
The market was put to another test
of its endurance just before the close
of news that the United States SUI
.preme court had declared that South
ern Pacific-Central Pacific commits
sion Illegal, this caused additional sell
ing and accumulated the irregular tone
at the end. Other prominent features
of the early and intermediate periods
embraced many domestic and foreign
oils, notably Mexican petroleum and
Standard Oils of New Jersey and Cali
fornia, Phillips petroleum and General
Asphalt.

DEMONSTRATION OF ANTT-BANDTT
GUN MADE TO POLICE OFFICIALS

1 organized banditry of today By the de-
tense and pursuit methods of 90 years
ago than the great war could have
been won BY the methods employed in
the Spanish American war said
General Thompson IN introducing the
gun. "This weapon changes the odds
which are now against the offices of
the law, and gives them instead a de-
cided advantage over the bandits"
1t was then shown that a policeman
firing at six bandits" armed with au-
tomatoes containing seven shots each,
and replying to each shot, had So
loaded shells in his gun when the au-
tomatoes of the bandits" were emp
tied During this shooting the gun
was made to fire single aimed shots
at the rate of 125 a minute. Every, bull
let went true to its objective, and if
this objective had been flesh and
blood. death would have been instan
eous.
TO illustrate the great driving force
Of this weapon-it has an accurate
range Of 1900 feet even when low
powered police ammunition is used
bursts of 100 shots were fired into bar
refs containing water or a mixture of
sand AM flour, Instantly the contents
Of the barrels leaped high in the air
and then the barrels themselves melt
ed away to nothing. Bursts OF shot
sent into a sand bank cayed in the

THE COTTON MARKET
NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, May 29.-Strong
advances in the early trading in cot
ton today We're met by very heavy
and general realizing among traders
on the long side of the market and a
reaction to levels below the closing
quotations of last week resulted, the
market finally closing at net losses on
the day of to 10 points with July at
20.66. The early bulges carried July
up to FLOP all months making new high
levels AT the highest the list showed
gained over last weeks final prices
of is to IS points,
Too much rain in the eastern half
of the belt, the storm in the East and
fear that it would strike inland over
sections that already were complain
ing of excessive moisture, and a priv
ate bureau reports on conditions of
.67.9 percent, which, together with an
estimated increase in the acreage Of
IS IL percent pointed to a crop over
10,296,000 bales, caused the early buy
ing. The advance was rapid but the
market soon ran into the heaviest kind
of realizing by longs and the reaction
was started.
Some of the selling appeared to be
stimulated by q. report on condition or
1870 from another private bureau, after
the effect of the first private report
wore off. After the middle Of the
morning the liquidation of long con-
tracts was the dominating influence
and the liquidation was still in evil
dence in the late trading when the ac-
tive months We're 10 to 13 points under
Saturdays close. At this level July
traded at 20.63.

In order to bring out the guns many
points, hold-up chase and capture
were staged, moving and still targets
were used, and ultimately high pow

oretically occupied by escaping ban-
dts, was destroyed Special attention
was paid to proving that the gun,
in capable hands, can be so controlled
that it can safely be used on crowded
thoroughfares. This is possible be-
cause it has little or no recoil
The firearm weighs nine and one-
half pounds and is the only fun auto
matte machine gun which can be Erred
from the shoulder. AS a matter of fact
the stock may be instantly removed
and 1t can then be used as pistol. Un-
like other fun automatic guns, it does

were fired continuously without dis
comfort
To show control, a number Of sill
houette targets were placed close to-
gether and fired at not only by the
demonstrators, but by members of the
New York police force. First, birdshot
cartridges were used it being the
theory that an escaping bandit if hit
in the legs but not seriously injured by
shot, will stop. In ! Us seconds 2,40O

The magazines contain 20, so and
100 cartridges and can be changed in
less than one second. No other portable
gun or shoulder arm has a greater
magazine capacity than 20 cartridges
Because of the rapidity Of fire. the
guns appear to roar in a continuous
outburst, while the shells cascade from
them and fan IN a shower.
