To meet the demand from prison authorities for tear gas to quell prison riots, the Chemical Warfare Service of the Army has developed a universal fast burning tear gas candle, the War Department announced today.

The new gas candle will produce an effective gas concentration so quickly that a rioter will be made helpless immediately, the Army chemists said. The candles are used in the same manner as the grenades but differ in that they have a larger capacity, permitting the gas to reach the air with no delay and in greater volume. The gas is generated with almost explosive violence. established when a third member of the bandit gang had "squealed" YWukeS'Barre, Pa. Assistant Cashier Jesse M.

Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Telegraph Company, told stockholders at the annual meeting that the company's revenues so far this year are off 7 per cent, from last year. In spite of "these unfavorable results," he added, "I believe that the six months' results will be above divi-den requirements."

Warrants were issued during the hearing for Frank Brady, president of the United Engineering Company, here who is alleged to have been a partner of Lewis In various swindles. The aged man was arrested in his $40,000 Germantown mansion two days ago after the entira neighborhood had become aroused over a barbed wire fenoe with which he had surrounded the huge mansion.
