HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.
Speed of Locomotive Equipped With
Cleveland CYLINDER

Chicago, July 12.-''All I want is the
opportunity and the proper conditions
to demonstrate to Chicago engineers
that I can run a locomotive equipped
with the Cleveland cylinder 500 miles in
five hours
A NJ Peterson, a wealthy Canadian,
who is at the home of his brother, with
a look of perfect confidence in his eyes,
made this assertion. He is a big man
with a square chin and talks not eVaS-
lively, but directly and impreSsiVely. He
believes the Cleveland cylinder, in which
he is interested, is bound to modify
railrOading and manufacturing from a
mechanical standpoint. He talks with
authority because the 1ntercOlOn1a1 rail-
road of Canada, after investigation and
trial, has adopted the pOWer-saVing cyl
inder on its engines. Locomotive NO.
90 is already equipped with the device,
and the testimony of its engineers con-
firms the assertion that this invention
is to usher in a new era in railroad
annals.
The device is the discovery of Will
liam F and Eugene w. Cleveland of
ROunthwaite. Manitoba. For over five
years they labored, but it was only
within the past year that success was
assured.
The new cylinder is best described In
Mr.. Peterson's own language. He said.
in reference to the locomotive on which
the invention has been applied so salts
factOrily. THE appearance of No. SO
is little changed since the Cleveland
patent was attached to it. A lengthen-
ing of the cylinder and the smoke box
is most nOticea BILE. The main points of
the device are a double piston with
central exhaust, called the main ex-
haust. Steam is admitted at one end of
the cylinder. Near the end of the stroke
the piston uncOVers a port of ample
area, the steam escaping explOsively in
to the chamber between the pistOns. The
chamber is connected with and always
open to the smOkestack. This main ex-
haust port remains open till the stroke
is concluded and till the steam, which
is admitted at the other end of the
cylinder, causes the piston to return
and cover the port again. When the
steam port becomes an exhaust, called
supplementary port, the small volume
of steam left in the cylinder finds an
escape into the stack through the nOz-
zle. The same operation takes place
on the opposite side of the cylinder"
Mr.. Peterson makes the following
claims for the new cylinder:
No resistance in cylinder, even at
mospheric being reduced.
Compression cOntrOllable.
No condensation discoverable.
Remarkable SmOOthness of action re-
ducing cost of repairs and saving road
bed.
A saving of fuel of from 25 to 40 per
cent.
A similar saving in water evapora-
ton.
Increased power.
Increased speed.

road during the last six months

new law INVALID
Decision of Judge Alden Affects
Many Mortgages.
Recording of Assignments Held
to Be Unconstitutional.
ANNULS SUCH LIENS
AS Existed Prior to the Passage
of the Law.
Held That Legislature Can Not
Do This.

Kansas City, July 1.-THE law passed
by the last Kansas legislature provid
ing for recording assignments of real
estate mortgages was yesterday de-
clared unconstitutional by Judge AL
den, of the district court in Kansas
City, Kan. The decision was in the
case of David H. Moore, a resident of
Ohio, against c. S. Mendenhan and
others. Mr. Moore has held mort
gage against certain Kansas City, Kan,
property since 1888. Recently he re-
tanned Judge T. p. Anderson to fore
close the mortgage. 1t developed in
the trial of the case that Messrs. Burt
and Bridgens had bought the equity of
redemption in the property and they
sought to defeat Mr. MOOre's fore
closure under the recent act of the leg
iSlature which provided that all mort
cages executed and assigned prior to
the enactment of the law should not be
received in evidence unless the assign
ment of the same was recorded within
six months after the law took effect.
In this case Mr.. Moore had neglected
to have his assignment recorded within
the time prescribed by the law.
Judge Alden in rendering his de-
cision held that the law practically
destroyed all mortgage liens on prop
erty created prior to the enactment of
the law unless the assignments were
recorded within the specified time, and
in his opinion the legislature could not
enact laws which would render void
contracts previously entered into.

TRADE OF A YEAR.
Fiscal Year Just Closed the Most Re
markabIe in Our History.

Washington, July 12.-The record of
the most remarkable year in our export
trade has been completed by the
bureau of statistics so far as relates
to the expectation of wheat, corn and
mineral oils. These articles form a
large percentage of the total exports
aside from manufactures. The figures
show in most cases a large increase in
quantity and value of the articles ex-
ported, though in some cases, notably
mineral oils and cotton, the export
price per unit has averaged less during
the year than during the preceding
year.
The cotton exported during the year
increased from 3,130, .949 pounds to
3,341, 332, 500 pounds, while the total
value last year was $3.50, 800 971 and that
for the year just ended 1929, 9O7, All. The
expectation of mineral oil increased
from 973, 514 946 gallons to 1,022, PIC. 379
gallons, yet the total value in the year
just ended was only $50, III Dol, against
So, 635, O37 in the preceding year.
In provisions, including beef, pork
and dairy products the value of the
expectation is greater than last year
being 1854, 454,074, against $137, 138, O84
last year. In wheat, corn, oats and
rye, the increase in both quantity and
value was strongly marked The ex-
pOrtatiOn of wheat for the year Gn-
Guiding flour as WheaD amounted to
215,171. 961 bushels, which exceeded the
expectation of any preceding year ex-
cept that of 1892, which amounted
(iOur included) to 225, 665, S12 bushels
The value of the wheat and flour ex-
amounted to $212, S91 ,639 a sum only
surpassed in 1880 and 1892, the total in
1880 being 1925, 879, SOP and that of 1892
being 1926, 761, 416.

A SENATOR ON TRIAL.
Kenney, of Delaware, Arraign-
ed For SWindling.

Wilmington, Del, July IA trial,
probably unprecedented in the annals
of this country, that of a. member of the
United States senate on a criminal
charge, began in the United States cir
cult court in this city yesterday after
noon before Judge Edward Bradford.
The defendant is Richard Rollin Ken
ney, of Dover Junior United States
senator from Delaware, indicted upon
a charge of aiding and abetting Will
liam N. Boggs, who has confessed to
rObbing the First National bank of
Dover, of which institution he was pay
ing teller, of the sum of $107 900. The
eleven counts in the indictment, to
which Senator Kenney has pleaded not
guilty, charge with him with aiding
and abetting BOggs to the extent of
about So, 500.
Two men, Ezekiel L. Cooper, of Mil
ford, and Thomas S. Clark, Of Dover,
have already been convicted under SIM
liar charges, and are now serving terms
of IS months and five years respective
" in the New Jersey penitentiary.
BOggs was the principal witness for
the prosecution in each case. His story
was to the effect that the greater part
of his stealings were expended in stock
speculatiOns and gambling and that
in the stock SpeculatiO1S, the defend
ants were associated with him by par
ticipating in his deals, and that they
gave him their checks when they had
no funds in the bank, BOggS taking care
of them from the banks funds. The
high position of the defendant drew
to the court room, crowd that damned
it's capacity and overlooked into the
corridors.
T. Edward Ross, of Philadelphia, an
expert accountant who went over the
banks books, testified that he found
that various checks drawn by Mr.. Ken
ney had come to the bank and had
been cashed when he had not a SUI
fcient balance to his credit to meet
them.
E D. Page of Philadelphia, who was
manager for z. Cuthbert &. Co., the
firm of brokers with which Boggs con-
Quoted his stock specuIations, testified
that checks signed by Kenney were
used in the stock transactions. All were
produced and offered in evidence save
one for $3.50, and the defense objected
to the admission of the testimony with
respect to this one. Pending decision
upon this objection, the court adjourn
ed until this morning.

to get facts from the business men as to
the amount of business furnished the
railroad company, after which they will

The passenger travel is light on this

six miles all along the line, and train

Quenemo, July 12.-N. B. Larson,

as yet has not been relieved, nor has ne

The company intimated that Mr.. Lar

the recent wreck near Melvern, though
the crew of the crushed train have
frankly confessed that they alone were
responsible. and an investigation fails
to show where any of the blame could
fall on Mr. Larson.
The business men of the town have

his removal, and bearing testimony to
his courtesy and efficiency as an agent.
He is certainly one of the most cOmpe-
