Commission Decides to Be Prepared for Eyentuali- ties by Purchasing Modern Equipment.

At the regular meeting Of the board of police commissioners held last night Chief William c. Hart sug- gested that six riot guns and tear bombs be bought for use in the po- lice department. He said that at the present time the men have nothing but their revolvers to depend upon and often times tear bombs could be used when the police are in tight" po- sition and want to get their man. The chief said that 1t is easy, with the use of tear bombs, to dislodge people from rooms or corners
 On motion of Commissioner Edwin Parker, Chief Hart was given permis- sion to secure prices on riot guns, tear bombs and bullet proof vests. ta Will Purchase Traffic Light.
 The commission on motion of Con- missioner Parker also voted to pur- chase the traffic light which has been placed at the corner of Hartford av- enue and East Main street for the past few weeks. Commissioner Thomas r. Jackson stated that he had heard much favorable comment in re- gard to the light and thought that 1t would be good investment.
 Chief Hart said that it has already saved more than it's cost by the elim- ination of traffic officer at that spot. who has been placed elsewhere.
 Chairman Dunn said that it will be necessary to tear up the pavement on East Main street to install this light as 1t burns electricity and not gas as the light at the South church corner, which he believes to be more econom- ical.
 New Traffic Signs.
 Commissioner Jackson made a mo- ton that the light be purchased at a cost not to exceed $266.3S. The mo- ton was carried. On motion of Com missioner Lange 1t was voted to give Chief Hart the right to purchase not more than 50 additional parking signs to be placed on various poles within the city. The hours that the restriction on parking is in force will be printed at the bottom of these new signs.
 Chief Hart suggested that the police board purchase another pulmotor to | be used by the police department in | ,he service car so that the one which | the police now own can be kept in the patrol wagon. The chief was given permission by the board to secure prices on new pulmotors and lungmo- ors.
 Objection to Promiscuous Shooting

REPORT BRISK TRADE
Danish Shipbuilders seem 10 nave Safely Weathered the storm and See Bright Future Ahead.

Copenhagen. July 11.--Danish ship building yards seem to have safely weathered the postwar trade de- pression and are entering upon a per iod of comparative prosperity, says the Scandinavian Shipping Gazette.
 The yards have come through the crisis very well, principally owing to the consolidation policy which has been followed. With the placing of new orders, the yards are able to work more or less independently again. They are all busy, and few of them are booked up. Unemployment has benefited accordingly.
 The yard workers, earlier in the year, voluntarily agreed to reductions in wages in order to make it possible for the yard shipbuilders to bid low.

n summary of tho Russian note &c
Great Britain is printed under q
Moscow date limo today by the Daily
Herald. the labor newspaper. The
article says that the Soviet govern
ment's reply proposes a conference of
plenipotentiaries to discuss moi only
Lord Curzon's recent communication,
but the whole problem OF Anglo
Russian relations with q view to
establishing a general understanding.
The main theme of the note, says
the article, Is that the Russians have
equal grounds of complaint. Russia
has always wished, and Great Britain
has always declined. t discuss the
relations between tho two countries.
The note contends. says tho Herald.
that many If Lord Curzon's charges
are based on documents supplied by
secret service agents. which are al
ways OF doubtful authenticity Russia
has many such which h could cite
against Great Britain.
Dealing separately with the British
charges, the Moscow government
says they are either fabrication or
Qualifications. 1t declares Its willing
ness TO abide by the decision Of the
proposed conference with regard 10
the three mile limit. The article
asserts. and adds that as an evidence
of good will Russia has released oil
