UNDER kEELEYS SHOP
investigators are Digging Az
ter His Secret.
PLENTY OF STEEL TUBING
And indications That Kelley
Was an Old Fraud.

Philadelphia. Jan 1s.-The Press today
publishes an article covering. with Illus
trations over a page in space, giving the
details OF an investigation made by that
paper of the dismantled workshop Of the
late John W. KeeIy, which investigation.
the Press contends, clearly proves the
mysterious Kelly motor 20 nave been a
delusion and deception and that its alleged
mysterious forces were the result OF trick
cry. In the investigation, which has been
going on for over week. the flooring Of
the workshop was taken up and brick
partition was removed. The Press was
assisted in the work by Professor Carl
Herring. consulting engineer OF expert
ence; Professor Arthur ". Goodspeed.
assistant professor fphysics OF the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania: Professor Wit
mer. professor Of experimental physiology
al the University OF Pennsylvania, and
DR.. NJ. c. Miller. who has had special
training in exploration and research in the
way OF mound digging. and accordingly
superintendent all the digging operations.
Clarence B. Moore, son Of Mrs. Bloomfield
Moore, was an interesting spectator. The
statements in the article. which are sub
Stimulated by signed statements of the
above named scientists, are 20 the effect
that tubing was found concealed in the
brick work under the floor Of the labora-
tory. This, Il Is claimed, laid bare the
possibilities Of deception, as the tubing is
Of the kind calculated to stand high pres
sure and could have been used in connec-
ton with the great steel sphere found lasr
week in the laboratory, which the experts
intimate was used as a reservoir for COM
pressed air or compressed gases and the
tubing could thus form an agency for the
forces that moved the motor in the exhi-
bitiOn room. The contention OF Mr.. Kelly
and his friends for many years has been
that no tubing OF any kind was needed to
work this machine. The views of Mr..
Herring and DR.. Goodspeed are that the
presence Of the tubing and sphere indi-
Gates the use of normal forces and pos
sible deception on the part of Keely. In
this view Clarence Moore concurs and
Professor Wilmer feels that the posi-
bility OF trickery confirms the diagnosis
that most Psychologists make as 10 the de-
lusive character of the Keely mystery.

HOGS 5 CENTS Higher
Light Thursday Run, Quality
Just Fair.
TOPS UP TO S3.45
Very Moderate Supply Of
Mixed Cattle.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
a full cents higher. The first reports
from the other western live stock centers
gave out a market quotation strong TO
5 cents higher, and this had some slight
Influence on the local trading. The early
morning sales Of wagon nogs were made
at about that figure. This wagon trade
was very fair IN point Of volume and the
punches of offerings were made up OF
larger size than Of late have been re-
revived. The first lot of hogs to cross the
Scales was very fair bunch OF wagon
hogs which weighed up considera bly,
above the 300 mark, and sold at once at
the next to top Of the bulk. All through
the morning trading the receipts OF
local stuff were handled promptly and at
a very satisfactory price for the seller.
Later two cars Of hogs from the Okla
homa country appeared and one of these
set the top price for the day. This load
vas one Of heavy hogs in very fair form
and selling at the pinnacle notch. The
other was of about the same grade and
q shade lighter in weight, and also selling
strong. By this time all the local trade
had been disposed Of and the exchange
awaited the arrival Of the car shipments.
There was a brisk activity from then on
TO the close The quality for the day
was fair in the main. There were some
very good hogs on sale and these brought
their meria5le price There were also
some quite common stock offered, and
these were generally mixed IN along with
the better grades. It was only a moder-
ate Thursday, there being just a fair
volume Of offerings, but better than the
day BEFORE and also ahead Of the same
day last week. It is a notable coincidence
that the average weight should be within
a pound Of the weight for Wednesday and
also Of Thursday Of last week. The de-
mand for fa2 butcher hogs was at all
times good, and thelocal packing call
held up the market TO a degree Of firm
hess which otherwise might have Jagged.
All the buying element was on hand and
more good hogs would have been taken
In As II was. the hogs on sale were
readily disposed Of at the best market
prices, and five higher ruled for the bulk
Of the sales. Everything offered was
sold and the day closed with a market
strong and demand good.

Of the Kaw, and very good hogs

mouth Of the Kaw, and very good hogs
sell every day at prices way below the
top figures. This market all the year
round disposes of hogs not alone as 10
their real merits, but every day many
car loads are sold at prices compare
lively considerably above the Kansas City
market. The demand is good here, and
shippers are yet to be found who claim
justly an inferior market for their hogs.
Other markets yesterday were as fol-
lows: Chicago had estimated q, 600 hogs.
They received q, 60, a rather weak back
ed guess the day before. There were
left over 4.SS7 from Wednesday. The mar
ket was about 21a to cents higher. The
estimate for today is 1890. Kansas City
received 1870 hogs, against 1880 the day
before. and the market was quoted as
steady TO 8 cents higher. st. Louis was
quoted as strong. with 1880 in, against
5000 the day before.
GENERAL NOTES
When the hog is fat sell it. Don't
waste good grain in waiting for better
market.
Furnish the swine plenty Of good, dry
bedding.
Don't send diseased hogs to market.
II is Of no use.
Keep the pigs clean and feed them
properly and they will not scour. An
attack Of scours equals the dropping Of
about one week of growth, consequent
" it VIII pay to use in the way Of better
sanitary conditions and prevention foods.
Chicago Times Herald: The whole pro-
duce market goes together this year. One
side is looking a the details. the other
keeping in mind only a broad theory. This
is as much the fact in corn and oats and
provision1 as in wheat. Indeed, il is so
in thewhole field. speculative, mercantile
and investment The buyer Of cotton, iron,
wool real estate or grain, unless acting
blindly. has a theory that the relation
between money and property that existed
from 1893 TO 1898 is to be supplanted BY
new relationship. The man who is
bear on those products believes the cheap
money theory is a fanciful one. He sees
no genuine signs Of prosperity, and re-
CARDS the whole buying sentiment as
popular craze. There is the same align
ment in corn and OTIS and provisions as
in wheat-one side pointing TO the large
receipts, moderate demand, and increas-
ing stocks, the other theorizing and talk
ing first principles. In all these pits there
has been of late a pause in the outside
buying and some liquidation of interests
which had good prohibits and which were
a little timid at all the theorizing. In the
coarse grains there has been some impOr-
tant short selling by operators who were
early bulls. The shipping situation has
been at least temporarily Unfavorably
affected by the advance in the rail rates.
In all these markets there have been
somespecial bear conditions which may
not exist month from now. Most i'm
portant was the change from low TO high
freights. Hog receipts should taper of
some The southern demand for provis-
ions begins soon. 1t will not be long
before thecorn reserves will be announc-
ed. II is expected the March figures will
be very bullsh. The fine weather for
western movement Of coarse grains will
soon be succeeded by the season of bad
roads
