BANDIT DETECTOR CONTROLLED BY RADIO INVENTED Uu Timeß Special CHICAGO, Dec, 16.—“And here are the moving pictures which show that these defendants are the criminals who robbed the safe.” This may become the strong point of State prosecutors if the invention of John F. Seebold of La Salle, 111., an invisible movie camera controlled by radio, is practicable. The also would be a burglar Wwrm. In another month, Seebold hopes to have the invention ready for a test. The radio control is supposed to make the machine carry On the work of “spotting” criminals in action even after all electric and telephone wires have been cut. Crooks Cut Wires The advantage of the wifeless, a feature suggested by Edward Hall, chief electrical engineer of the Chicago Rapid Transit, Edison and public utilities, Is apparent because the enterprising crook usually cuts all electric and telephone lines when on a “big job.” Even if the robbers were to revert to the mask and hood styles of another decade, the camera's eye would recognize them for, according to Chief Postal Inspector Grant Miller, "every man has some peculiarity of build, of hands Or ears, or some particular manner of standing or walking which singles him out." Like Burglar Alarm The invisible camera silently will record the movements of the robbers. Wires connecting it with the homes of the officials of the company ithat has Installed it, or police, will give the alarm, acting like - burglar alarm. For daylight burglaries, the camera is recommended as the real thing Gunman In machines drive up and rush In with their revolvers drawn Concealed in many points of the bank are cameras pointing in all directions. In the cage of each teller, there "is a button which when pressed with the foot, starts the nera battery. A camera mounted }the doorway and pointed to the eet would get a picture record of the machine and chauffeur. * By this scheme, It is hoped, hank hold-ups, pay roil robberies and the like will be reduced to a minimum. Seebold is '4 and has spent four years perfecting the Invention. ALTER 'UNLUCKY’ TOTAL Superstition Responsible for Changing Wall St. Address. tin Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—The superstition of an old salt who figured out that seven and six “add up to thirteen” has induced the Seamen’s Bank for Savings, the oldest financial institution dealing principally with sailors since Its beginning, to change the address of Its new building now under construction at the corner of Wall and Pearl Sts. frqrn 76 to 74 Wall St. The request to eliminate the bugaboo thirteen from the Combination of the bank’s address numbers, come from J. B. Walker, of 75 Eighth Ave., who traveled the seas in the days when four-masters were still a common sight in this port, to Herbert K. Twitchell, president of the Seamen's Bank for Savings. Being a seaman of the old school, there is right much superstition yet in me as well as nearly all others,” he wrote. “I only want to call your •entlon to the fact that seven and add up to thirteen and If you will number your new building 74 Wall St., you will lessen the hoodoo on the thirteen combination with a lot of seamen.” So the matter was taken up with the board of directors and Twitched announced today that the new budding, when ready for occupancy will bear the number 74 Wall St., In answer to Mie request of Hhe superstitions w **' wxv l

Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—Sentiment was decidedly bearish on the Chicago Board of Trade this morning as the result of a flood of discouraging cables. However, tlie virtual close of navigation on the Great Lake.because of the severe weather means that considerable grain will he kept off the market at a time when the demand may become rather brisk. Wheat opened %c to Vic lower in all positions on news of weakness at Liverpool and failure of Buenos Aires to respond to our rise of yesterday. -Local selling accelerated the dip. Corn ranged from unchanged to 'ic lower in sympathy witli wheat and because of large Btocks Df old grain still in storage. Oats displayed activity, hut opened unchanged to Vic lower. Locals are of the opinion that the crop has been over-estimated and this, with the Increased feeding demands, gives the pit a firm basis. Provisions were unchanged.

TRADING DROPS OFF SLIGHTLY SINGE TUESDAY Not So Significant, as Trading Is High for the Season. By E. Walter Muckier. NEW YORK, Deo, 16. —It was an open question "Wednesday whether the recent increase in public partciipation in the trading was holding up on the progressive scale necessary if professionals are to relinquish the reins of control. Trad,ng was less than Tuesday, but this was not necessarily a significant move as Wedr.ee lay’s operations were abnormally heavy for this time of the year. One definite fact was assured, whether or not the public buying interest is increasing, the underpinning of the market has not suffered at all from the recent advancees.

Kails Go High Rail averages touched the highest point attained since Mept. 14 of this year, and there lias been no abatement of the strong demand for the carriers. Again the Atchison carried the banner for the rail stocks. Erie preferred stocks moved sharply higher, while the common was unchanged. Coincident with this strength, it is learned definitely that Frederick Underwood will assume the chairmanship of the board and President Bernet of the Nickel Plate will take over the presidency of the Erie. This would indicate there is absolutely no foundation in rumors afloat some weeks ago that the Van Sweringens were preparing to drop the Erie from their Nickel Plate merger plans.

(By Thoinsan & McKinnon) NEYV YORK, Deo. 16.—A lull in the buying of Cuban raws and an easie" tom* in granulated are not to be wondered at after the advance which has been oxperleneed in these markets in recent weeks.
