THE CRANK INVENTOR.
coNrINuEp FRoM r1Rsr pAaE.

The prevention of collisions at sea
is favored subject, though it has
almost been solved by device which
can best be described as two barn
doors, one hinged on each side of the
ship near the bow. All that is nee
ossary when n collision at sea is inn
minent is to pull on a rope and open
the baru s-against the pressure
of the water-Ths model worked
beautifully in bath tub, but after
a few months careful Thought and
calculation, it would appear to an
expert that on vessel going eigh-
teen or twenty knots. something
would happen when those barn
doors were opened, either to the man
the rope or the doors.
To prevent vessels running
aground many inventors have exer-
cised their mightiest powers and the
most satisfactory one so far is that
of putting glass windows in the bot
tom of the ship so that the bottom
of the harbor can be seen and timely
warning given of shoal water. l,
however, have no desire to be on the
lookout at the glass window when
the vessel runs mp on a sunken rock.
Many of the inventors whom we
have TO deal with are of the myster-
ious variety those who have some
thing that will revolutionize naval
warfare and only ask that they may
be furnished transportation from the
Pacific coast to Washington and
have their hotel bills paid, in order
that they may have an opportunity
to personally explain what they dar,
not put in writing, for fear tina
someone will steal their ideas ant
get a patent on them. There are
} uumbers of these who will furnisl
full particulars and sell their idea,
for the small sum of $3.50, 900 90 eacl
and so would 1.
There are others who, although
they have spent years i'll perfectinl
their devices, worthless as they ma.
be, voluntarily present them for tn
use of their Government, withou
soliciting any recompense, and thes
are strongly in contrast with thos
who write threatening letters stating
that if their wonderful designs fo
warship annihilators are not pur
chased Immediately, they will b
: sold to some foreign government an
thus be employed against the ship
of their native country
l Quite novel proposition is tina
: the United States build a whole flee
{ of "bogus Ships the writer says
"just make them look like real ship
s with only one genuine gun or can
: nor, just perfect bluff"
: A Chicago genius covers the Who'll
subject of ship design and propose
. novel methods of construction. Hi

Kansas City-Topeka Electric
Line Project Revived.
Willard E. Winner Again An
nOunces it Will Be Built.
FAILS TO NAME TIME.
Mr.. Winner Unable to Say
When Work Will Start.
Denies Reported Sale of Right
of Way to Topeka.

Willard E. Winner, the man who
some time ago proposed to build an cleo
trio line from Kansas City to Topeka,
and several weeks ago filed a petition
in bankruptcy announcing his liabilities
to amount to several thousand and his
assets nothing, has again been heard
from. He is in Lawrence this week try
ing to arrange for the release of the
rails of the old Carbonate line being
held by the commissioners of Douglas
county for taxes
It seems that Mr. Winner still pro-
poses to build the Kansas City-Topeka
electric line In Lawrence he stated
emphatically that the line would be
built, but refused to set any date as
the probable time of starting work on
the project.
Mr. Winner a year ago bought the old
Carbondale road, and sold the majority
OF the rails at a great profit. He an
nounced that the right of way of the
road would be used in constructing the
line from Lawrence to Topeka Later it
was reported that he had sold this right
of way to the Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient railway, but this he denies.

FELT TELLS WHY.
Writes Letter Telling Why He Can
Not Serve as Republican
Committeeman.

A. J. Felt, when he declared for
Bryan and BreidenthaI, announced his
resignation as chairman of the Nenaha.
county Republican central committee,
but failed to state that he intended also
to step down and out as member of
the county committee.
This oversight on the part of Mr..
Felt prompted the following letter from
w. F. Buck, secretary of the commit
tee, addressed to Mr.. Felt
Il am very sorry that you have re-
signed as chairman of the Republican
central committee. 1 do hope you have
not gone back on the G. o. P, and that
we will find you in the front ranks
fighting for prosperity and Mckinley.
AS read your letter you only resigned
as chairman and not as a committee
man. Please let me hear from you"
In reply to Mr.. Buck, Mr.. Felt for
warded the following letter:
My resignation as chairman intend
ed to cover my membership of the COM
mittee. L have not gone back on the
old faith of the C. o. P as you state
the case, but, while holding practically
the same views upon public questions
as I have advocated in the press and
upon the stump from the time / sup
ported Lincoln and every Republican
candidate down to the present year, I
am more nearly in accord with the plat
forms adopted at Kansas City and re-
affirmed at Fort Scott, than the one
adopted by Republicans last month at
Philadelphia.
probably my decision is as surprising
to Democrats and Populists as to Re-
publicans, but in view of new issues in
this campaign, my duty is plain 1t
pains me deeply to sever my relations
with the Republican party To that
party has been given sincere, candid,
unreserved, and never-ceasing labor in
every presidential and state campaign
for thirty-siX years. Had regard
merely for my own personal interests,
certainly 1 should remain in the Repub-
lican party. Had I in view any pOlit-
ical preferment, of course l should
strive to maintain my place with the
Republicans. With my earliest convic-
tions regarding the European policy of
the Mckinley administration in its
treatment of Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines-with its attempt to retire the
greenbacks and form the national
banks into a gigantic trust,-with its
craven, un-Republican and anti-Amer-
lean attitude in it's cruel and cold
blooded refusal to tender it's sympathy
to the struggling Boer republic in the
Transvaal,-with it's failure to enforce
the antitrust laws,-with it's cool con-
tempt for the Grand Army of the Re
public, by retaining at the head of the
pension office a man whose plan in
dealing with surviving union veterans,
is 70 use against the deserving pension
applicants the laws made expressly for
their benefit; with these views, 1 can
