John Jacob Aster to Pnt Some of His
+, Money in the Matter
New York, Nov. s-Interest in the
/ mysterious discoveries OF John W. kee-
", whose experiments with a new
source Of power have puzzled the world
for score of years. has been suddenly
revived and intensified by the announce
ment that John Jacob Aston is 10 take
! the place OF Mrs. Bloomfield Moore as
financial hacker Of the inventor. Mr..
Astor has a marked inclination for
scientific matters, and has visited Mr..
Keely's workshop, at No. 1872 North
Twentieth street on several occasions.
His last visit was made on Wednesday
OF last week, when, il is said. he wit
messed the final demonstration Of the
! practical working OF the machinery
which develops Mr.. Keely's mysterious
force. During one or Mr. AstOrS Wis
its to Mr.. Keely's laboratory he was
accompanied by Mr.. Samuels, an cleo
trician, who has been associated with
Mr.. Astor in the development of new
storage battery. On that occasion
Mr.. Samuels said to Mr.. Aston: There
is no use in us deyoting any more Of
our time TO electricity. Here's some
thing far better. When Keely has con-
structed his railway traction engine.
possessing rights all over the world, and
using a costless force, and when a pat
ent has been taken out on 1t, the value
OF his discovery will be found TO be in
calcula BILE"
Mr.. Astor is reported to have said he
was perfectly willing TO put up ali the
money that might be needed to carry
on Mr.. Keely's experiments. and with
this end in view he is reported 10 have
arranged to acquire from Mrs. Bloom
field Moore the large interest in the

ed in building experimental machinery
and for Mr.. Keely's personal expenses,
Mrs. Moore is said to have advanced to
the inventor between $4,000 and $40 900
as personal loan. With the financial
support of Mr.. Astor. Mr.. Keely expects
to push forward rapidly the develop
ment of his inventions. In fact, he an
nounced to the board Of directors of the
company on Thursday last that before
the end Of the year he would positively
be all through with his work TO prove
conclusively that he has practical
commercial working engine.
Concerning the recent work Mr.. Kee-
~ said yesterday that he had succeeded
in obtaining new power. the principle
OF which consists of enormously rapid
vibrations. Mr.. Kelly said that after
procuring 10000 vibrations per second
he had overcome gravity, and thus
achieved new hitting force. He mad
succeeded in producing as high as g.
600 SOC, 100000 vibrations per second
Preliminary steps have been taken
towards a reorganization of the Kelly
Motor company. Secretary Schneider
mann said yesterday: 1--WE wish 10 out
line and define the exact position of the
keely Motor company, which is now
somewhat doubtful by reason of not
knowing just which the company con-

definite plan has been perfected yet,
but the initial steps We're taken at our
last meeting. At that time a commit

appointed. This committee is TO ap-

directors a plan that ii is hoped will be
acceptable. Our annual meeting is on
the second Wednesday in December.
and it is TO be hoped that the plan will
be ready by that time"
Mr.. Schuellenmann says that many
changes have been made by Mr.. Keely
