Auto Truck Making,
To Go Right On.
WORKS TO START UP
Charges of Bribery A gainst
Electrical People.

Joseph Lithco, the resident manager
and general superintendent of the
Rhode Island Locomotive Works, has
been retained by the officials of the
New York Auto-Truck Company. OF
which Richard Croker is one of the
prime movers, and it is stated by one
on the inside of the big concern that
the Rhode Island Locomotive Works
will soon resume their manufacture OF
locomotives as in the past, and will
not conflict with the works of the
American Wheelock Engine Company
in this city in the production of all
motors.
The engines or locomotives them
selves will be produced at the Rhode
Island plant.
The Rhode Island locomotive works
comprise thirty-six different buildings
with large area of land which af-
tords sites for ample extension in the
works as business demands it. The
Corliss engine works will continue in
their production as in the past, while
the Wheelock Engine Company and the
Gates Iron Company of Chicago will
exchange condolences in the mutual
production of the auto-truckS foI
which the New York Auto-Truck Com
pany is said to have given an order for

The Gates Iron Company and the
American Wheelock Engine Company
work together Manager Edward K
Hill OF this city directs both plants. A
part of the auto-truck is said to be
made in this city and part in Chica-
60.
1t is now claimed that the Metropol-
itan Traction Company wanted air mo-
tors for the operation of the cross town
were not prepared to execute, wanting
more time for the completion of SO
large an order. AS the local works
could not deliver the air motors to the
Metropolitan Traction Company at
once, it is stated by the compressed air
officials, that the electrical interests
saw their opportunity, and while prep
arations were being made for the pro-
duction of the motors, they cot in their
influence on the Traction Company and
the Manhattan 81" road, and with lib
eral and almost lavish expenditure OF
money, secured the adoption Of cleo
tricity as a motive power. But the
compressed air people still maintain
that this is but a temporary victory fol
the electrical people. and that COM
pressed air will ultimately and soon
win out.
By the new arrangement which Off
Gals claim has been decided upon, the
Rhode Island locomotive plant will con
tinue locomotive manufacture, and the
perfection of the compressed air en-
CINE, the Corliss Engine works, tn,
production of the automobiles, the pri
waite vehicles, and carriages operated
by air, while the American Wheelocl
Engine company and the Gates Irol
company of Chicago will devote them
selves to autotrucks, and the genera
investigation of the compressed ali
system, as in the past. Later develop
ments will show whether this arrange
ment is to be finally adopted. or all tn,
plants merged under one roof.

The tunnel in Green street running
south from Harrison street has been
cut as far as the sewer department in

continuance of the work at that point,
but the remainder will be done by an
open cut.
The drift from the shaft at the corner
of Fox and Water streets was begun
yesterday. The workmen are starting
the heading in two directions. sThe
north drift will be continued until the
drift from Harrison street south is met
with. The south drift will be cut as far
as Vernon square to which point the
work in Millbury street will be con-
tinued by an open cut. The department
has reached point in the construction
of the separating system on Millbury

What a difference there is in women
The actual number of years they have lived
seems to have little to do with their looks.
Some women at IS look and act younger
than others at so. Their eyes are brighter,
their compilations fairer, and there are not
nearly so many wrinkles. Old Father Time
deals gently with healthy woman, but
