CLAY BIRD SHOOT
 YESTERDAY; FANS
 SHOOT LOW SCORE

Weather conditions were against good shooting Sunday morning when the Juneau Gun Club fans gathered at the grounds for their clay bird event Men who in the past have shot on the average well over 20 out of the possible 25, fell down to far below that score on account of the strong wind and poor light conditions. Truesdals and Morris were high shots with 21 broken targets each to their credit and young George Folta, jr., was able to break only five out of the string. Last week the lad broke 1S, which score was hailed as remarkable in that the ten-year-old was at the traps for the first time.
 Llano Morris is now in tight jam as result of his low score Sunday, which as he readily ad- mits, will make it mighty difficult for him to attain his 9S per cent perfect score out of 2,000 shots be- tween now and July. Another score or SO like the one shot Sunday by Morris will plaeo him in even a tighter jam IS he now has to shoot a perfect 750 in order to catch up and place himself in the running for wagered suit, chicken din ner and a carton of shells that are to be donated by well-wishing friends, but who believe he can not break the 9S perfect.
 The individual scores made yes terday were: Truesdale 21, Morris 21, Pulyer 20. McNaughton 1S, Waterude IF, Folta 16, and Folta. jr. five.

Chicago, May 31 R = Another murder-the third in 3s hours and the mest brutal of the three-was doae last night when a man walked up to Ettore Quaterri sitting in front of his little grocery. and fired four bullets into his body.
 Quaterri did not die at once. He was conscious when police arrived, and able to talk. But he would not say who schot him: and he denied knowledge of any reason-gang con- nection. black hand threats or per- sonal vengeance-for the shooting.
 Had Wife and Children
 The groceryman was 54 years old. He was married. the head of fam lily of three children, the oldest be- ing 2s.
 Yesterday police found the body of pominick Costa. known as thief and stool pigeon. He had been done to death in gang fashion-taken for . ride" beaten. shot and then dumped into a field on S3d street. A few hours earlier Thomas Mo- Elliott was killed in . pistol duel in the basement barroom of a down. town grill. McElliott was often ,ar- rested in connection with .racke.s" and crimes Of violence.

STUDENTS BLAMED FOR BROWN RIOTS Providence Official Plays College
 Boys for Attacks

Providence. R. l., May 31 R- Responsibility for Wednesday nights battle between Brown uni- versity students and city police, which sent Fl persons to hospitals or the college infirmary with in- juries and two with bullet wounds. was placed squarely on the students by Police Commissioner Benjamin P. Moufton in statement today.
 He denounced the ''rowdyism" of the students and declared that future student demonstrations should be confined to the. college grounds and never again permitted upon the streets of our city"
 Mir. Moulton charged the stu dents with having participated the outbreak without the slightest provocation' when they hurled Roman candles at a police detail guarding the entrance to the Albee theater/in the downtown district during the freshman "necktie burning parade.
 He declared himself convinced that neither the spectator nor the student wounded in the melee out side the Arcadia ballroom was struck by a police bullet
 Mir. Moulton asserted the pitched battle at the downtown entrance to the Eastside Traction tunnel devel- oped from the 'abuse' of the po- lice by students, who pelted them with eggs, tomatoes and lighted Roman candles.
 Conforming what he termed student "lawlessness," the commits sioner characterized the under- graduate participants in the out burst as 'cowardly egg throwers" and highly educated rowdies."

What Fixes
Bond Prices
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.


There is a way of expressing the
market price of q bond in terms which
allow for the effect of maturity. That
Is by quoting them on the basis of
yield instead Of on the basis Of price
expressed in per cent of par. Take
the two bonds we used as illustrations
in the preceding article-Chicago, Burl-
ington & Quincy, Illinois division, avs
of 1947 and Chicago & Northwestern
general 3las of 1887. II the first named
sells at 81. 1t Is selling on almost the
same yield basis as the latter at rs, or
approximately 4.65 per cent.
Observe that the income return
that is, the annual return on the money
it takes to buy the bond, disregarding
maturity-is considerably larger on the
Northwestern than on the Burlington
issue. The purchaser of the Burl. Lg-
ton bond is willing to take a little less
each year because he knows that he
will be paid of at par SO years sooner
than the owner of the Northwestern
bond.
In calculating yield, this steady adj
vance of a bond selling at discount
toward par Is taken into account. That
is what yield means referring to bonds.
The mathematical formula used In CAL
culating yields is too technical for ex-
PLANTATION here. AS a matter of prac-
tice, bankers and dealers in bonds use
tables which show at a glance what the
yield Is for any given coupon rate,
given price and time to maturity.
The point for the average investor to.
remember is that it Is the maturity
yield and not the annual income re-
turn that fixes the market price Here,
too. we must make one reservation, and
that il that manv individual capitoliete
dislike to pay a premium for a bond.
even though the yield Is attractive, and
that this sentiment sometimes does
have slight effect on the market.
On the other hand, financial inStitu-
lions have no such prejudice.
