Urindcll Matthews, tho English inventor ar. rived Saturday 011 the steamship Paris for a short visit i11 this coun- try. llc llenietl that he had come to tho linited Slates to interest the government or any one else in his liiveiitioii. The lnvantor's first statemcnt uplia arrival was that the use of the lcr111 "death ray" for his device was 1a misnomer. lie said it was in reality tin "electric beam" anil that he had never called it any- thing else. The inventor declared that the ray could, if "properly developed". destroy a city like New York. lie also stated it could "paralyze whole armies. "At present," ho said, "my ray operates upon hall a kilowatt. I am now tievi-lopliig u machine in England that will operatc on lilly kilowatts. ln the course of six or eight mcnths l shall so perfect my invention that l w-ili have a ray that could work great destruction. He ileclnreil that four or live na- tions hail offered large sinus for the invention, but that upon its perfection it would be uttered to Great Britain and no other nation. He denied that he took a trip to France to interest the Franc 80V- eiumeut in it. .'1‘hu in enter said his claim that the r11)’ would paralyze armies was based upon experiments ‘in which "killed mo mouse and four rats. lie suid um a test which he save in E118- lsad in which the British govern- ment experts found the ray to be harmless, was unfavorable because he did not "ltavo time to make the proper iirianizeuients, being rushed and crowded."

July 20.-——Ovsrhead costs for crime were materially re- duced Friday by three bandits who oblialned $60,000 in jewelry in two daylight holdups. With a stolen automobile and an expert chauf- feur they drove rapidly froin a jewelry shop on the lower Blot Side, where they got $45,000 in loot, to a store in the Bronx, whore they seized $15,000 worth. Both expeditions cost them one pair of glasses, with tortola-shell rims, which a member of the party negligently left in the shop of L. Fried, 40 Avenue A, between Third and Fourth streets. The automo- bile, stolen on Tuesday night from Louis Epstein, 1368 Findlay avenue was abandoned in East Thirty-see- ond street ‘after the hold-ups. Two loaded pistols and a black- jack were found in the car. Efiilclency Marka Procedure. Apparently the bandits prefer- red to relinquish their tools of trade, including the stolen car, in order to avoid recognition and cap- ture. A good diacrlptlon of the men was given to police by Bert- hald The. manager of Fried'a and by, Simon Okon, 15 years old. an office boy, who were bound nad gagged and ordered to lie on the floor lace down, during the hold-up. The men got down to business the moment they entered the first shop, just after 10 a. m. One ent- ered with revolver drawn, a second followed with rope and gags and the third, a. connoisseur, came last to select the most valuable gems.
