INVENTION
OF an Akron Man
Attracted Attention of
Carnegie.
Three Big Ore Scoops
In Operation
At Carnegie Docks at
Conneaut.
Invention of Mr.. g. II. Hulett Is
Being Tested.

The Scientific American, in its edi-
ton of last week, published a full de-
scription, with illustrations, of the
ore scoop, invented by Geo. II. HUI
lett, of Akron, and now in use in the
dock yard of the Carnegie Company at
Conneaut, o. An idea of the labor sa-
wing quality of the machine and its
general magnitude, may be obtained
from the following concluding para
graph of the Scientific Americans ar
ticlc:
-Four machines, side by side, can be
used in the average vessel at one time.
Each machine Is expected to remove
300 tons of ore per hour when fully
perfected. Four machines, thus un-
loading LOO tons per hour, would
empty the largest vessel on the lakes
in comparatively short time. The
largest cargo Of ore hauled last wear
on the Great Lakes aggregated 7.446
gross tons. If such rapid handling of
iron ore can be secured, the work of
many men will be saved. One of the
ore unloaders can be operated bv six
men. Three of this number remain
Ill the vessel to shovel ore within the
reach of the scoop. Three operate the
machine. With four machines work.
ing in vessel ~ men would thus do
the work which usually requires 100
men.
AS yet no attempts have been made
to establish speed records. Otherwise
the tests are reported to be very en-
couraging. George II. Hulett, a me-
chanical engineer, of Akron, O., is the
inventor"

Mr.. FIynn's Caustic
Criticism of the Soldiers

'It is the fault OF our own soldiers
that they are not liked by the native
Spanish residents of Porto Rico" said
Mr.. j. IL. Flynn, II War department
clerk who has been on duty in Porto
Rico since the war broke out AS he
stopped Off in Akron yesterday. He
was on his way to Manila, TO which
place he has been transported, aud
was accompanied by his wife, a pretty
Spaniard.
when the soldiers first came to
Porto Rico said Mr.. Flynn, the
Spanish residents of the better class
did all they could to make things
pleasant for them. They invited
them to their houses and treated them
handsomely. In return the conduct
of the soldiers, especially toward wo'
men they met on the street was so
insulting, thai now the Spanish will
have nothing to do with the common
soldiers Why, in Porto Rico a man
is not allowed to stop and talk with

Ever Attempted by
Everett Syndicate.
Will Absorb Lake Shore
Company.
First Step In Cleveland--Cin-
cinnati Connection.

The Everett Moore syndicate has n
project under way which is the biggest
thing it has yet attempted says the
Cleveland Leader. The syndicate will
attempt to consolidate the Northern
Ohio Traction Co., and the Lake Shore
Electric Railway Go. The name of
the new company will be the Northern
Ohio Traction Co. The Lake Shore
Electric Railway Co. will become
the Lake Shore division of the con
solidated company.
AS was announced in last Sundays
Plain Dealer the syndicate on last
Saturday concluded "A deal whereby
practical control of all the suburban
property along the lake shore between
Cleveland and Sandusky was secured.
In addition TO this traffic, arrange
ments worc made with the Toledo,
Fremont " Norwalk Suburban Elec-
tric Railway Co., by which right OF
way was secured to Toledo. BY an
other deal trafiic arrangements were
secured between Toledo and Monroe,
Mich. The consolidated suburban
lines including the Loraln & Cleveland,
the Sandusky & Interurban and the
sandusky. Norwalk & Southern were
to be known as the Lake Shore Elec-
tric railway. With this consolidation
1t is now projected to consolidate the
Northern Ohio Traction Go.
The Northern Ohio Traction Co., con
trolls the A., Il. & c., the Cuyahoga

married in Porto Rico.
He says there are great inducements
in Porto Rico for men wishing to en-,

Mr. T. Il, Barry, he said that people
would walk mile to ride on a street

BOSTON BRIDGE
Destroyed by an Ice Gorge
Village Is Partly Under Water.
People Being Taken Ac the Cuyahoga River
In Ferry Boats ---SChO OILS Have Been Closed.

The old covered bridge at Boston,
built in 1913, was destroyed Saturday
night.
The thick ice began to break away
forming gorges at different places
along the river. The ice which came
down the river above Boston was
soon gorged at Buttermilk Falls. The
thick ice Of the Boston dam resisted
the tremendous pressure and no
further trouble was anticipated, but
the rain Friday night caused the water
to rise and dislodge all the gorgcs up
the river and about o'clock Saturday
afternoon they reached the dam. 1t
blocked the river and huge quantities
of ice and water soon dashed across
the fields, flowing down the canal
which runs parallel with the river,
and filling the streets of Boston. The
water flowed back in the river below
the ice gorge which soon broke up the
ice upon the dam. The tremendous
gorge piled up behind soon began to
move and slowly but surely lifted the
west span of the oIf covered bridge
off the abutment and dropped it in the
river. The other two managed to re-
