A firm believer in spiritualism
since the death of his son on bat
tlefied in France, Sir Arthur long
ago determined to make every effort
to return from death through some
medium similar to that which he
declared had brought him spirit
messages from his dead son.
The author whose fictional de-
tective has thrilled millions for
mere than forty years succumbed to
heart disease at his home, Windle-
sham, at els a. m. after an illness
of about two months which left him
utterly Frustrated since Saturday.
Sir Arthur was believed to have
overtaxed his strength during a
lecture tour of South America which
ended eight months ago. When he
returned from the tour, devoted to
discussions OF spiritualism, he was
forced to remain in bed for some
time and since then had not been
able to leave his residence. For the
most part he was confined to his
room, but occasionally was able to WI

D. w. 8. COuNING

NEW YORK, Aug. I uNs.).
New losses Of 4 point or more were
recorded in the active stocks Ia
the early trading to-day. OF the
three important markets, cotton
was the only one to score q gain
OF any Importance, both the grain
and the stock markets being held
back by selling pressure. The rise
in cotton averaged more than 81
q bale, while the principal grains
sold fractionally higher.
Disappointment over the failure
of the midweek steel trade reviews
to show an increase in steel mill
operations and the continued tar
diness Of the automobile and other
manufacturing lines was the prin.
cipal factor in the further easing
off Of the stock market. Though
the volume Of trading was small,
lower prices were quoted for all
Of the market favorites, and the
prof fessiOnalS were again arrayed
Oh the selling side Of the market.
Nervousness over the Warner
Brothers dividend, the fate Of
which win be decided late today,
caused further selling Of the stock,
which declined about 2 points to

sistently with the plan of civil dis obedience every precaution con- ceivable is being taken to prevent civil disobedience from being used as an occasion for doing violence.
 It should be noted that in karachi Seven wounded persons of whom two have died of their wounds, were vol unteers engaged in keeping peace and restraining mob furies. It is the opinion of eyewitnesses that the fir ing in Karachi was wholly unjusti- fled and that there was no firing in the air or at legs in the first instance. In fact the government have lost no opportunity of incensing the peo- pie.
 Many Leaders Imprisoned
 Many of the best, the purest and the most self-sacrificing leaders have been arrested and imprisoned in many instances with mock trials. Sentences, though for the same of- fense, have varied with the idiocyn- crasies of the magistrate. In sever al instances they have been for more than 12 months with hard labor on well known citizens.
 The enthusiasm of the people has up to now increased with every con- viction. Thousands of people regard the manufactures of contraband salt as part of their daily routine.
 That this is a movement of self purinication is abundantly proved by the fact that women have como into it in large numbers and are organiz- ing the picketing of liquor shops.
 Thousands have taken a vow to abstain from intoxicating liquor. In Ahmadabad, a strong labor center, the receipts of the canteens have dropped to 19 per cent and are still dropping. A similar manifestation is taking place in the district of Surat. Women have also taken up the ques- ton of the boycott of foreign cloth. It is spreading all over India. Peo- pie are making bonfires of the for eign cloth in their possession. khadi, namely homespun cloth, is so much in demand that the existing stock Is well nigh exhausted. Each spin ming wheel is much in demand and people arc beginning to realize more and mare the necessity of reviving handspinning in the cottages of the 100000 villages of India.
 In my humble opinion a struggle so free from violence has a message far beyond the borders of India. l have no manner of doubt that after all the sacrifice that has already been made since the 9th of April, the spirit of the people will be sus- tained throughout until India has become, independent and free to m make her contribution to the pro- gress of humanity.

futile assault, and all, Tryon had done was to lose a precious hour.
 It was now too late to continue, so the British bivouacked for the night. All during the hours of dark ness endorsements came hurryins to the aid of the colonists. Some 60 regulars and three companies of militia arrived from New Haven. artillery was collected from that city and from a supply of old guns as Fairfield, and General Sullivan, who had been hurrying from the Hudson river with a small force, reached the scene. The British had hoped that, if the raid proved un- successful, it might at least caus, the weakening of the main Ameri- can army in New Jersey by the despatch of aid, but this was neither necessary nor done, as sufficient material was gathered from the i'm mediate neighborhood.
 British Barely Escape
 In the morning the British stag gered on again with the Americans in hot pursuit, marrying them so closely that they were pushed past a. bridge they meant to use and were. driven down to Compo hill, on peninsula jutting into the sound, before they could be drawn up for battle. Arnold was again unhorsel as his men swept after them, an.i Colonel Lamb was wounded. This latter occurrence saved the day for the invaders, for the Americans thought Lamb had been killed and, irresolute after the rumor had spread, they withdrew. Fresh troops were thereupon landed from the waiting ships and covered the re- treat of the exhausted and befuddl- ed men the Americans had so rude ly pushed down the Saugatuck. The force was finally gotten safely aboard the ships again and the fleet sailed away.
 The expedition had been virtually a complete failure. The incapacita- tion of the Hessians and the quick arrival of American troops had pre- vented Tryon from wreaking the havoc he had planned upon the base of supplies at Danbury, whil2 120 British had been killed and the men captured by Wooster brought the total loss, not including wound ed, up to 160. The American cas- ualty list was just half as large.
 Arnold was rewarded for his work when congress raised him to the rank of major-g general. It also pro- vided him with a new horse.

BUSINESS SUFFERS
 POSTMASTER LULU
Shoe Trade Expected to Pick Up
 iD Near Future

Boston, April 26 (UP) - Busi- provement as result of Easter trade have now been affected by cor responding post Easter lull, accord ing to Bradstreets Weekly Review of local business conditions issued yes tcrday.
 Sole and upper leather markets continue rather soft as far as prices arc concerned" the Review said. Tn some quarters moderate sized amounts are reported to have chang cd hands. Favorable effect on buy CTS is anticipated with quantity pur- chasing. Shoe manufacturers have decreased production somewhat fol- lowing Easter orders filled and a lull in orders received from wholesalers and retailers. Business is expected to pick up again soon.
 Sales of dry goods and mems furnishings reflect after Easter quiet ness. Mems clothing and suit and cloak sales are also small. Depart mcnt store sales were large prior to Easter as also were specially shop sale, but volume in both has de- creased materially since.
 Tho general volume in the whole sale icWelry business for April to date is Is per cent less than same period last year and is 10 per cent less than year ago at this time. The rptoiI ond of Nt bp b11cipesc Shouc n shrinkage of 20 per cent over a year ago. Collections arc fair to slow.
 "The wool market has not eX- perienced material change in vol ume which has been quiet for sev- cral weeks. Prices are fairly firm although some concessions have been made in order to make a sale while others have refused a bidding price,"
