Henrd OF at the Finish of the Coming Race
ORANGE. N. j.. June 23.-Thomas A. Edison,
tho inventor. is working on plans to mako
automobile vehicles light and economical.
What his plans are or how the Edison motor
carriages are to be propelled Mr.. Edison Is not
ready to say. but that he will succeed In turn
ing out something better than anything yet
placed on the market he Ia confident. Ho
laughs at the French idea OF motor tricycles.
and declares that he will turn out tricycle.
which can be sold at low price and which will
run $50 miles without being recharRed He is
looking for simplicity. and he says he will not
be satisfied with anything that child cannot
safely operate. and that will not be entirely
noiseess.
Come up here some day in q few weeks"
said Mr.. Edison. "and you'll see US running all
around these park roads and drives"
On the subject OF automobiles in general
Mr. Edison Is enthusiastic. He declares II will
be a matter OF only few years when horses
will be curiositcs. When the automobile Ia
perfected. Mr.. Edison says. the price of buggy
Or two-seatcd carriage will be less than that OF
a good team Of horses. and 1t will cost only
one-flfth as much for maintenance.
Speaking OF the proposed international auto
mobile race between Charron. the French in
ventor and Winton, the American manuiac-
turer. Mr.. Edison declared that the Frenchman
would not be heard Of ut the finish.
"Charron's machine" said Mr.. Edison, was
built for the roads In his own country. where
they have billiard tables to ride on. When
he gets over here he will get stuck In the mud
and Winton will run away from him. Until
six months ago the French automobile was
ahead OF the, American. but in the last ak
months we have made wonderful progress
IN this idea. and in the next six months we
shall be ahead Of the world"
or his own experiments with the automobile
Mr. Edison would not talk although he adj
mitted that he had been at work for several
months in nm attempt to improve on the ma
chimes now In use.
For six months he has been shut up in his
workshop devoting his entire time to improv-
ing number OF his inventions. The COM
pletion OF process for manufacturing Ameri-
can Portland cement resulted few weeks ago
in the INCORPORATION OF company for it's
manufacture. Since the cement process was
completed Mr.. Edison has devoted n few weeks
to improving the phonograph, with such ex-
cellent results that he says his new machine
to be placed in the market shortly. will repro
duce sounds several times louder than tho
original The sGueaky whirr has been done
away with. and tho new talking machine has
voice which can be heard plainly for two or
three blocks.

City Contends That the Law Under Which
He Acts Is Unconstitutional.
Argument was had before Supreme Court
Justice Maddox In Brooklyn yesterday on the
motion for the city OF New York to show cause
why referee should not be appointed to pass
upon the claim OF A. Lawrence Jensen for the
expenses incurred by him in defending an in
dictment against him for accepting money in
the performance OF his official duties while a
clerk in the office of former Com ptroller G Gorge
W. Palmer. The action was begun under
chapter 700 Of the Laws OF 1899. which provides
that any officer or official OF city or county ap-
pointed or elected. who has been successful in
any trial or proceeding brought against him to
remove him from Office or to convict him OF
any crime in the performance OF his duties.
might apply to the Supreme Court within
the appointment OF a referee to hear, examine
into and report as to the reasonable fees and
expenses incurred nv him.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Stapleton con-
tended that the law was passed solely for tho
purnose Of indemnlfying the police officials Of

OFFICIALS indicted during the last twenty years
in Brooklyn should come forward and ask for

Mr.. Stapleton held that the act was uncop-
stitutional because the Legislature had no
power to appropriate public moneys for private
purposes with less than two-thrds vote. and
also because II was gift OF public moneys for
other than city purpose.
Mr.. Crane contended that It was perfectly

efforts failed. Then all but one firm went into
a consolidation OF their own and were incor-
porated as the Paterson Con solidated Brewing

HinchlifIe Brewing and Mating Company. the
largest of them all. Since then tho competition
between tho two brewing concerns has been
keen. Each sought to get the better OF the
