May, 19.41; July, 1902. The market
opened at an advance of l 10
II points on covering and some trade
buying, which was probably promoted
by the fairly steady showing of Liv-
erpool and rather smaller private crop
figures.
The first two crop reports to make
their appearance were below the av-
erage OF recent estimates, one plaC-
ing the crop at 1904 900 and the
other at 15,200.000. Any effect this
may have on sentiment. however.
soon was offset by publication of two
other reports pointing to yield
around 15,600.000 bales and gin
ming of between 1860 900 and 49,
10000 bales to December l.
January contracts, which had sold
up to 1856 at the opening. broke to

hour. while March eased off from
1913 to 1882 under liquidation by

There may be an error of as much as
two or three tenths of a second.
When this error was first discov
cred, 1t was attributed to some fault
of the apparatus or to some error in
the obtaining of the exact time from
the stars. Further investigation has
failed, however, to confirm this idea
For example. the United States Naval
Observatory. which is responsible for
the time observations and signals in
the United States, has Just reported
the results Of a two-year series OF
comparisons between duplicate sets Of
instruments for the determination of
the time. No errors of any magni-
tude were found in the instruments.
Similar tests In other countries have
been equally negative. 1t seems prob
able that there exists some unsus-
pected factor which is effecting the
speed Of radio transmission so that
a variable lag may occur between the
time OF sending a time signal from
Paris or Nauen and the receipt of
this same signal at Washington.
What may be the cause Of this
radio variation is unknown. In re-
porting the Naval Observatory results
before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, Mr.. Ham
mond suggested the possibility that
the atmosphere over Washington
might vary in some way, as, for eX-
ample, by a variable smoke content
and consequent variable ionization.
and that this might be responsible for
the variations in the time of receipt
of the foreign time signals at the
American station.

Observatory Clocks Refute as SANDER
Inaccuracy Thought Revealed by Radio

One of the chief developments of
radio during the past five years has
been the sending of extremely ac-
curate time signals from a large num-
Der of stations all over the world.
At limited number of these sta
tions-Greenwich. England Paris,
Berlin, Arlington and others-the
radio time signals are controlled more
or less directly by independent deter
limitations of the exact time made by
watching the stars. The larger sta
tions are powerful enough, further
more, so that the time signals from
any one of the fundamental stations
can be picked up at the others. Thus
it has proved possible to compare
exactly the time signals from, for ex-
ample, Paris. with those from Airing
ton or from Berlin CNauen) or else
where.
Surprisingly enough, it has been
found that the signals do not agree.

BERLIN TO HEAR WORK
OF NEW YORK COMPOSER
Maurice Arnold's String Quartet
Composition Also Accepted
in Amsterdam.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BERLIN. September 26.-Maurice
Arnold. a New York composer and "A
pupil OF Anton Dvorak. has been hon
ored by having his String Quartet
In G." accepted for production this
Winter by the Essay Barmas Quartet
In Berlin and the Zimmerman Quar-
tet in Amsterdam.
His violin concerto also is to be
produced by Fritz kerkhoff in Am
sterdam.
The quartet abounds in American
motifs and humor, especially in the
scherzO part, but in form follows
Brahms and on the whole is an expo
sition of the romantic school of com
posing.
Arnold ascribes his ease in placing
the quartet to the fact that there Is
Il definite reversion in Germany and
Holland from extreme futurism in
music as exemplitied by Stravinsky,
to more conservative and melodious
forms.

BANKERS
PLAN LAW FOR
CRIME BUEIEAU
Editorial Says Prosecution
of Criminals Sorely
Handicapped.

A bill creating a criminal bureau
of investigation and Identification.
to aid in prosecution of criminals,
will be introduced in the next Lsgis-
lature by bankers 1t was indicated
today. Finger prints and records Of
all criminals would be kept.
An editorial in The Hoosier Bank
err, official Indiana Bankers Asso-
citation magazine edited by Miss
Forba Mcdaniel, urged establish
ment of the bureau.
Owing to changing conditions,
even in the criminal world, Indiana
sorely needs a bureau of criminal
investigation and Identification, the
editorial said. Practice of defense
attorneys arousing sympathy of
jurors by shaking the CORY locks
about prosecution of a poor man by
a rich bankers organization" was
scored.
"The criminal Of today recognizes
no law except that of expediency,
while at the same time he is the first
to cry. out for every protective
measure that will help him when he
has been caught in a violation of the
law. The State, on the other hand,
must give him all these safeguards.
and as a result criminals often evade
Justice" 1t said in part
"Creation of such a bureau will be
the first step towards, strengthening
the hands of the State in its fight
on crime"
A. G. Brown Of Greencastle, pro-
tective chairman, is doing research
work necessary for proper drafting
of a preliminary bill. He has studied
the system in other States where it
is said to have reduced crime.

GOOD INCREASE
In HANDLING OF
mail is MADE:
! Fifteen Per Cent More Than
Last Year Cared
For.

Postoffice employees handled Is per
cent more Christmas mail this year
9han last.
%ne announcement was made to-
day by Robert H. Bryson, post
master, at the close Of the distrfbu-
ton of Christmas mail.
Through the efforts Of Bryson, all
mail carriers were given a holiday
today, the first general holiday ever
enjoyed by the postoffice employees
on Christmas.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. more than 100000
pieces Of mail passed through the
postoffice daily.
IT am highly elated over the re-
suits of the mail early campaign
this year." Bryson said. "Never be-
fore has the public responded so en-
Enthusiastically to the appeal Of the
postoffice.
Earlier Campaign
anticipating a larger mailing year
than in years previous, the depart
ment began it's campaign for Christ
. mas mailing earlier.
1.-THE fact that we opened about
10000 square feet of floor space In
the parcel post station at Illinois and
South Sts., and handled all parcel
post mail through this branch, aided
in keeping the main postoffice clear.
About 400 additional clerks and
carriers were employed, beginning
Dec 10. Because a great number
Of these carriers and clerks were ex-
perienced civil service men, the mail
was handled with ease"
Open ON Sunday
Bryson said the opening OF the
main postofflce and all classified sub
stations last Sunday afternoon for
five hours was an asset in deliver
ing the mail.
''Many persons who did their shop
ping on Saturday and had the pack
ages wrapped Sunday were glad Of
the opportunity Of getting them out
OF the way" he stated
Another feature which made the
service this year more efficient was
placing weighing and wrapping ta-
bles on the first floor Of the Federal
Bldg. This saved a great deal Of
time and we were able OF take care
of mail until the closing hours"
