CHICAGO, April 22.-The special

ton and politics today turned its at
tention to so bank officials, who re-
manned Of the original las subpoenaed
to tell of the financial affairs Of police
officials.
The investigation already has netted
the information, Foreman J. A. Farmar
said, that certain captains had made
deposits Of as much as $4,000 and
$4,000 in single day, and that one
captain had bought $4,000 worth of
stocks in four years while drawing a
salary of $4,000 year.
Another, Farmar said. deposited
nearly $4,000 in a Loop bank within
a month. The accounts of four other
captains were described as extremely
interesting"
The jurors plan to go straight down
the list of captains, Farmar said then

nary patrolmen assigned to vice and
gambling details.
THE II captains whose bank de-
posts we are investigating were selected
at random" Farmar said There were
no complaints against any of them, and
no particular cause for suspicion. We
simply wanted to get cross-section Of
the Situation"

ABBOT PROPHES|ES
ON WEATHER WORK
LOng-Range ForeCasting Held
Possible From Variations
in Solar Radiation.
Successful results have been obtained

Successful results have been obtained
from first attempts at long range
weather forecasting by predicting varta-
tons in the suns radiation, according
to an announcement yesterday by DR..
Charles g. Abbot, astronomer and
secretary Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
He has predicted variations in the
suns radiation for 1881 and 1882, which
so far have followed his forecast closely.
H. H. Clayton, another scientist, has
used the same method to forecast
actual weather conditions with con-
siderable success. DR.. Abbot and Mr..
Clayton long have believed that varia-
tons in the radiation, or energy, that
the sun sends to the earth are the
causes OF major changes in the weather.
Predicted Events Occur.
Last December, DR.. Abbot predicted
how the suns radiation would vary
during the next two years. His pre-
dictions have been carefully checked
by observation of the actual variations.
So far in 1881, DR.. Abbot says, the
radiation has varied very nearly as he
predicted.
In February Clayton predicted cool
weather and much rainfall for the
drought area during the latter two
weeks in March and the first week In
April, basing his prediction on expected
changes in the suns radiation. The
cool weather and rain occurred as pre-
dicted, Dr. Abbot says.
Variations in the suns radiation can
be predicted because they seem to &C.
cur in five regular cycles of GO, As, 25.
II and 8 months. There are also
shorter cycles not as regular, and there
may be longer cycles, not yet discovered
perhaps lasting hundreds of years, DR..
Abbot believes. He says the drought of
1880 may have been the result of a
solar radiation cycle or combination Of
several long cycles coming together only
perhaps about once in a century. BY
noting how the cycles have moved in
the past, their movements can be pre-
dicted by observers of 1.-The future, he
hopes, just as movements Of the planets
are predicted.
DR.. Abbot Is Of the opinion that
changes in the suns radiation rule the
weather by their effect on the move
ment of areas of high and low atmo-
sphefic pressure. Movement of these
areas across country is known to be
the immediate cause of weather condi-
tons.
Advanced Prophecies Possible.
An increase or decrease in the suns
radiation may affect the weather diff
ferently in different places. Increased
radiation may cause a rise in tempera-
ture, atmospheric pressure or rainfall
at one point but drop elsewhere.
DR.. Abbot says several more gen.
erations of observing solar variations
will be necessary before such rare events
as last years drought can be predicted,
but he hopes useful weather forecasts
extending weeks, months, and perhaps
years, in advance may soon be possible.
With this end in view, extensive
statistics are being computed to learn
the influence of the sun on weather in
individual regions Of the earth.

$1,7O0,OOO NET LOSS
BY B. & 0. THIS YEAR
General Manager Scheer of East.
ern Lines Tells Maryland Com
mission of Decline.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April $50 great has
been the decline in the railroad bust
ness that the Baltimore g. Ohio Rail-
road showed net deficit of sl,700 900
for the first quarter of the current year,
Edward w. Scheer, general manager of
the roads Eastern lines, testified at a
hearing before the Public Service Com
mission yesterday.
The hearing was on the application of
the road to withdraw two trains from its
old main line from Baltimore to Ea-
gerstown.
The Baltimore g. Ohio, according to
6cheer, has 467 stored and available"
freight locomotives. The road has 27,-
944 idle freight cars, he stated.
Scheer said the total transportation
revenue Of his company for 1880 showed
decrease of $50, 912 ,000 or 20 per cent,
as compared with 1925. There was a
falling of Of 1874, 900, or 18 per cent,
in freight revenue, while passenger rev.
enue declined "a per cent.
Scheer indicated the road was doing
its best to effect operating economies
. rather than resort TO the other alterna-
tive of laying of men.
