MEASURES PRESSURE,
This Device of u College Professor
Useful Invention.


Prof. T. E. Nipher, of; the Washing
ton university, gave an interesting talk
last night at the Engineers club. 1900
Lucas place, on his experiments tend
ing to show the FRACTIONAL effects of
trains of cars on the air. Prof Nipher
was to have read paper on the SUBJ
Ject, but he had not completed his ex-
per1ments. He gave his experience as
far as he had gone, says the ST. Louis
Republic. ~9
THE manner in which people stand
ing near moving train are dragged
or sucked under the train, as it is said
is due to the fact that the air close
to the train moves with it, owing to
the friction of the train said he pro
lessor. There is no such thing as
being sucked under a train They are
struck by the moving air and knocked
down and roll under the train of the
location of the ground tends to cause
them to do So The way in which air
is dragged along with a train can be
measured so as to be of use to engin-
eers,''
Prof. Nipher exhibited an instrument
with which he has been making his
experiments. 1t consists Of glass
globe connected with two rubber tubes
One Of the tubes has a piece Of gas
pipe attached to the end and the other
connects with glass tube, which is
laid on a stick thirty inches long The
globe contains water.
The stick is extended through the
window Of moving train The rub
Der with the piece Of gas pipe attached
Is placed on the end Of the stick in
such manner that the pipe faces the
same way that the train is going, at
right angles with the train The pres
sure Of the air caught by the gas pipe
passed through the tube and forces the
water out of the globe through the
other rubber tube into the glass tube
The stick is set at a slight angle The
pressure is determined by the distance
which the water is forced into the
glass tube. When the stick was ex-
tended it's full length out of the win
dow the pressure was very marked. AS
the stick was withdrawn the pressure
became less, and quite onear the train
showed no pressure att all, indicating
that the air Immediately adjoining the
tram was moving with the train.
Prof. Nipher experienced much Diff
ficUlty in catching the measurements
OF the pressure, owing to the irregular
motion of the train, and wishes to
devote more time to fully test the mat
ter He is convinced that buildings
have the same effect on the air In case
of wind that moving train has. He
proposes to experiment until he fully
demonstrates his theory. He thinks it
will explain many ofothe peculiar cases
of collapsed buildings i'm the tornado
OF last May and be of great benefit in
the designing Of buildings.

The stories circulated that portion of the
membership of the L. A. W. in the South and

grossly exaggerated The L. A. w. in that

racing board would simply blacklist every
rider and track and the rebellion would end
in short order.

Whether many of the manufacturers will
hire racing teams this year or not is a ques-
ton which is causing much comment at pres
ent. Several of the makers are tinkering with
the subject but they are rather deliberate
about making up their minds, and the ''pros"
are getting nervous. While referring to the
hiring of teams it might refresh the memories
of some veterans to inform them that Jack
Prince was the first racing man in this coun-
try who received a salary for riding a GER
tain make of wheel. Prince received the
handsome remuneration of SIS week, and he
paid his own expenses.

succeeds as well at popular prices, in
packing the Grand Opera house to
standing room only at every perform

at $3.50 and 50 a throw, and it is but
just to say their work is just as pleas

derstOOd. This was demonstrated
last night by the generous applause
given from every box, the crowded
gallery. dress circle and parquet, when
"a Legal Wrong was presented IN
very careful painstaking manner.
The scenery was appropriate and
very beautiful. costumes new and up

INDIAN LAND SUIT.
CLAIM POSSESSION OF MAUNTAUH
POINT. N. Y.
Property Worth Five Hundred Thouss n
Dollars With Only Ten Pull-BlOod-
ed Indians to Claim.

River Head, N. Y.,Jan. 15.-The Mon
tauk tribe of Indians, by their chief,
and king, Wyandank Parlah, have ask
ed County Judge Benjamin II. Reeve,
to bring an action against the Long
Island Railroad company, for the re-
covery of Montauk Point.
The suit involves the title to the
Peninsula of Montauk, which consists
of about 900 acres of land and is worth
perhaps 100000. The summons and
complaint, drawn up by New York law
yers, are ready for service, but they
have not been presented to Judge
Reeve
The Indians claim that they hold
the right TO inhabit the peninsula and
to enjoy all the benefits to be derived
therefrom. When the property was
sold to Arthur II. Benson, in 1878, it
was sold subject to the rights of these
Indians to use and occupy certain por-
tions of the land known as the Indian
field"
The land in litigation takes in Fort
Hond Bay, which the late Austin Cor
hin hoped to make a free port. When
Benson purchased the property, the
Nontauk Indians were still in possess
sion and enjoyed their full rights.Ben-
son soon began to remove the Indians
He made them liberal offers and finally
purchased the land near Pelham and
established an Indian colony.
There are not more than ten full
blooded Indians left Of the tribe
Wyandank Pharlah, now king, is
son of King David, whose forefathers
led the powerful Montauks against the
tribes of Rhode Island, Connecticut
and Massachusetts.
The Queen of Montauk now occupies
a little hut in Freetown. She is very
aged. and is a genuine Indian squaW.

WILLIS Is DEAD.
MINISTER TO AAWAII DIES OF
PNEUMONIA.
His Remains Will Reach This Country
For Intsrrment at Louisville
About the 25tb Inst.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE steamer
Monowai, which arrived at midnight,
brought advices from Honolulu to the
effect that United States Minister AL
bert s. Willis died at $3.50 a. m. on Jan.
6, after an illness covering several
months, resulting from the attack of
pneumonia he suffered while on his
vacation to the United States.
In April the minister and family left
Hawaii for a visit to their old home
at Louisville. While in San Francisco
on their return trip, the minister con-
upon his lungs, This was the imme-
diate cause of his death. At noon
on December 81, while leaving church,
his horse ran away and threw Mr.Wil-
lis to the ground. He was taken to a
physicians office and soon recovered
sufficiently to return to his home at
Waikiki. He never left it again.
Fever increased and the cold taken
in San Francisco soon developed into
pneumonia. This settled so firmly up
on the lungs that it could not be check
ed. All human effort was expended
without avail Three doctors labored
necessarily and held frequent consul
tations upon the case.
A few days before Christmas the
case was pronounced hopeless.
Soon after the death of the minister
all the consul, governor and shipping
flags, were lowered to half mast. EX-
pressions of regret were general and
the wife and son have the sympathy
of the whole community.
At the request of Mrs. Willis the fu-
neral services took place at the Central
Synod church at p. m. on Jan. 4
Rev. D. p. Bernie, pastor of that
church, and Rev. ]. NJ. Monroe, pastor
of the Christian church, of which the
deceased was a member, conducting
the service. The details of the funer-
al were left to U. S. consul general and
charge d'affairs Ellis Mills, at whose
request the funeral was taken in hand
by the government The funeral pro-
cession was the most impressing since
that of Kalakalau.
The remains were deposited tempo
rarily in a vault at Nuunlu cemetery,
until the 18th inst, when the casket
was to be placed on board the steam
ship Australia for transportation to
the u. S. 1t was not known when the
MOnowai left whether an escort would
be sent with the remains, but it was
the opinion of a number of citizens
that an escort would accompany the
remains to Louisville and turn them
over to the officials there.

CULBERSON'S MESSAGE
GENERAL SYNOPSIS OF THE D0OU-
MENT.
Oommends His Own Government Of the
States Affairs and Makes Some
Suggestions.

The annual message OF Governor
CulbersOn was sent TO the state leg
islature. 1t is too vOluminOus to be
printed in full. Some idea of its char
acter was fOreshadOwed in the Light
special yesterday. The salient points
of the document are herewith given:
The governor says that new laws
have operated successfully, the depart
ments successfully administered, pub
lie expenditures reduced. strong an
thrust laws passed, Confederate
Home established on a permanent ha
sis, double the former amount of de-
linquent school taxes collected, sales
of school lands five times greater than
fOrp reviOus year and leases three
times as great, total expense reduc-
ton over half a million, schools and
educational institutions have made
gratifying progress, per capita school
fund is one dollar greater this COM
ing year, and a good all round show
ing is made.
Figures and statistics are given
showing the conditions of the state
funds and of the several institutions
and charities of the state.
The ranger service is commended
for its efficiency, as are all the heads
of departments andp ublic servants
generally for their fidelity and ability.
As TO the legislation recommended.
the message recites the several pledg-
es of the state Democratic platform,
and declares that the legislature and
the administration are pledged there
by. The question of n college for col
Ored youths is considered. among 9th
er pledges. and it is recommended
that n sufficient amount of the mil
lions of public lands remaining to the
state be segregated and sold for that
purpose.
The inequality of the labor imposed
upon the judges of the courts owing
TO the division of districts is pointed
out and the argument for redistrict-
ing pushed.
The actual sale of the school lands
TO actual settlers, rather than their
lease is advocated, and the plea made
that the permanent investment of this
fund would increase the school reve-
mes. The investment of this fund
is considered, and the showing made
that under existing laws the invest
ment is too restricted, and laws care
fully guarded to extend the applica-
ton are recommended.
Enlargement of the labOrers' lien
law is urged to include clerks, arti-
sans and common labOreTS, account
ants and agents.
Change in the "fellOw servant law
is recommended so as TO nut the en-
plOyes of railways and other corpora
tons in position to recover damages
for injuries for which the injured is
not himself responsible.
How best to employ the cOnvicts to
the advantage of the state is thrust
upon the legislature as one of its du-
ties in the pledges of the party to
abolish the lease system.

Just then ]. L. Webb. an attorney
living at 800 Grayson street, arrived

stead that Griffin tried to sell was
stolen from the rear porch of his res
idence Wednesday night. The bed
stead had not been used and was
packed up. He said there was also Il

bedstead and asked Griffin who he did
not take that, when Detective Shelly
replied that it was probably too cold,
and that had it been red-hot stove
he would have doubtless taken it,

Justice Jones this morning in default
of $3.50 bail. The baby carriage he
tried to sell belonged to Mrs. F. C.

TACKLES THE TRUST.
WISCONSIN TAKES A HAND IN
BREAKING THE TRUST.
All Corporations Joining a Combine so
Says the Attorney General En-
danger Their Charters.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 15.-AttOrney
General Mylrea has completed brief
in the suit brought in the Circuit
court at Oshkosh for the dissolution
of the sash and door trust.
If the position of the attorney gen
eral is correct any corporation organ
lied under the laws of the state of
Wisconsin which may join with Il
trust, either directly OF indirectly, is
liable to have its charter revoked and
its existence annulled by an action
brought in his name. Such proceed
ings are now contemplated.
After reciting that the trust was
organized and operated on plans laid
down, the attorney general alleges
that the articles covered by agree
ment and the prices of which were
and are fixed by the board of direc-
tors are articles in common use in
the building trade and are necessities
in the building trade; that the Ma
tiOnal Manufacturing Co. has been
and now is engaged in no business
whatever, as accused by article Z.
The attorney general says: 1T is
apparent that this corporation was
organized solely for the purpose of
forming and maintaining a trust
among the manufacturers residing
in the state mentioned. and to pre-
vent the fixing and determining of
prices of articles dealt in by menu
beers thereof and of supply and. de-
mand, and for the purpose of arbtra-
rily taxing and maintaining high and
fictitious prices of such articles; that
said National Manufacturing Co. is
not eagaged in the business permitted
in its articles of corporation, but is
engaged solely in carrying out the
object of said trust combination"
