Important developments in the. air
power industry are suggested by a call
recently issued by the Compressed Air
Motor Company. a meeting of the
stockholders will be held March % In
Chicago to authorize an increase of the
capital stock from 81, go. 600 to $1,000
600. The notice says that this increase
is intended for the acquisition of new
patents relating to compressed air as a
motive power and as an agent for vari
Gus commercial purposes; also to pro.
vide a larger working capital to carry
on an expanding business. This com
pany owns the Hardlc patents for com
pressed air traction and has had cars
In operation on the North Side lines of
the Union Traction Company with u
high degree Of practical success. In
comparison tests with other competing
devices this motor. II Is said, has
proved It's superiority not only for
street ear propulsion but for Use I'm
auto-vchiclcs of the heavy dray and
pleasure carriage types. The company
announces that many traction com.
panics are contemplating the installa-
ton of compressed air motors for
street ears. and It Is to handle this
business that the cash capital II needed.
1t Is understood that the additional
stock has been taken In advance by
certain great financial interests of New
York and Chicago and that none will
be offered for public subscription. A
radical change I'm the status of the va.
rlous air power enterprises of the
country may bc one of the events of
the near future. Henry u. Cooke. for.
merly president Of the American Air
Power Company of New York, Is the
head Of the Compressed Air Motor
Company Of Chicago. The head offices
Of the concern are In the Monadnocli
Building.
Some of the Hanecy workers are cir.
culating the story that Judge Carter
went to Judge Hanecy's headquarters
at the Springfield love feast and prom
iscd to help him In his fight for the gov.
crnorship. The report was emphati.
cally denied by Judge Carter.
Before I left Springfield" said Judge
Carter, II visited the headquarters OF
all the gubernatOrial candidates and
shook hands with them. I called OH
Yates, Reeves ana Hanccy before
came away and chatted with them q
minute or two, but I never promised
to be with Hanecy or any OF the others
! said ut that time did not expect tC
be n candidate, and It may be the re-
port has grown out of the fact that
have since entered the field. The state
ment that said l would be for Judge
Hanccy Il untrue"
A certain machine politician of the
Twelfth Ward is circulating the rcpor,
that Judge Carter said Mt the love feas,
there would be no fight on Hanecy n
that ward. This statement Is also de
MED by Judge Carter. The presen,
prospect II there will be hot fight IN
the Twelfth between the Carter mer
aud the machine faction.

Managers Of the Reeves gubernatoriaI
campaign are not ut all pleased because
Senator Cullom's friends have opened
headquarters mt the Great Northern
near Judge Hanecy's rooms, whel
they might have pitched the Cullon
tent NJ the Grand Pacific, close to tn,
Reeves camp. The reason Is this The
Reeves managers have endeavored Il
establish indissoluble ties between the
Congressman's candidacy and Senator
Cullom's political fortunes, hoping
thereby 10 lure many Cullom support
ers into the Reeves band wagon. Thl,
plan has succeeded to a considerable,
extent. The Reeves management has
been able to make a great deal of CAPT
tai out of the alleged alliance will
CullOm, and now the failure of tn,
Senator 10 locate his Chicago head
quarters In the same hotel tends Il
spoil the effect of the desirable alliance
This little incident, however Is mo-
nearly so disappointing to the Reeve,
men as the explanation given by III,
cnllom managers for coming TO Chi
cago, The Senator's friends assert the,
wish to convince everybody that Cul
lom Is Interested In no particular candl
dat" for Governor, that his sole purpOs,
Is 10 he reelected TO the Senate, ant
that he means to go ahead on his owl
