POWER BY CARLOADS.
Important Fields To be Revolutions
lied by the Introduction
of Edison's New Stor-
age Battery

Thomas A. Edison has invented a
new storage battery which electri-
clans say is the most important in
vention since Edison discovered how
to make incandescent lamps that give
all the delightful glory to the exhi-
bition of the Americas now being held
in Buffalo.
The announcement of the invention
of this new battery is accompanied by
intimations that indicate several
fields are TO be revolutionized by its
introduction, for this new battery
combines all of the long-sought adj
vantages of durability, effectiveness
and lightuess. 1t is predicted that a
new art of electrical propulsion and
navigation will result. While the
electrical accommodations of the peo-
pie today are many and important,
new features of usefulness are prom
ised. Electric light will be cheapened,
and it will be possible for electricity
to win favor in many factories where
the steam engine and its power reigns
supreme. This battery is said to be a
wonder, and it may be the instrument
which will carry the stored energy of
Niagara around the world. 1t may re-
suit in the force Of the Falls of Mag
ara being shipped by the car load in
stead of being transmitted over miles
and miles of cables as at present to
its fields of service. Many new appli-
cations Of electricity are looked for,
and there is little doubt but what
this battery will do much for the ad-
vancement of electrical science during
the 10Th century. Its use will reduce
the weight of automobiles, and make
electrical features on ships more
available. There is a possibility that
its application to railroads will re-
tire the present trolley system, sys-
TEN that has been very efficient in af-
fording rapid transit.
Prospects are within % years stor-
aye batteries of all sizes will be pur-
chasable at the stores in packages, the
wrappers on which will rival those of
the various food products for beauty
1t is this possibility and its revolu-
tionizing tendency that eXcites such
widespread interest in the marvellous
storage battery that is first to be ex-
hibited at the Pan-American Exposi-

DETROIT BI-CENTENARY.
A Celebration in Which the Whole
state Is Interested.

state is Interested.
The event which the Detroit BIZ
Centenary celebration is to commem-
crate is, nominally, the landing of
Cadillac, on July "A, l70l. 1t com
memorates more than this, as Cadil-
lac was only the first settler to come
into the then unknown land west of
the Allegheny mountains and north
of the Ohio river, for the purpose of
establishing permanent settlement
and home. The celebration is to
commemorate the deeds of the hardy
voyageurs who preceded him and the
historic events in the city's history.
Galinee and Dollier, who were the first
to journey upon the river and lakes,
were simply sojourners and their visit
to this spot in 1915 is more of a legend
than history. Following them came
Chevalier, de la Sale and Father Hen
nepin, but they were only explorers,
and while they passed through the
chain of lakes, some years before Cad
lilac settled in Detroit, yet they did
not remain.
At one time Wayne County com
prised large portion of the territory
that is now contained in the states of
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, making the largest
county at that time, in the western
continent. This celebration is thus
of interest to more than the people
ofDetroit and of the state of Michigan.
The program for the first day con-
templates an exact reproduction of
that scene which occurred on July "a,
l70l, when those batteaux came down
from Lake st. Clair and Cadillac land
ed with his retinue, at what is now
Detroit. The boats on this occasion
will be fac-similes of those used by
Cadillac, and the costumes will as far
as possible, be those of two centuries
ago. The environment will be as his
torically correct as it can be made.
In the three days, which the celebra-
tion continues, there is grouped a
greater variety of events, interest
ing and spectacular, than has ever
marked any single celebration given
in this country.

Park Board Getting To Business.

"A meeting of the Park Board was
held at the Law Office of Mr.. |. L,
Hubbell, on Tuesday evening, and
Mr.. f. A. Washburn elected president,
Mr.. F. w Howard, treasurer, and Mr..
/. l.. Hubbell, secetary. The Board
intends to do everything in its power
to make the new park as inviting as
possible with the limited means at
their command. They propose to fig
ure on fencing the park, on the east
and south sides, with some durable
wire fencing, hoping thus to shut out
and prevent the using of this park, by
those who seem to think it is place
reserved for rowdyism. They expect
to establish main entrance for the
Park and go as far as possible, in
grading a road for driveway therein.
The Board also instructed the secre-
tary to confer with Messrs. A. N. and
M. M. Belding, with regard to the
proposed improvements, and the ways
and means of obtaining funds there
for. The Board at this time, has only
$4,000 for improvements, which
amount was appropriated by the city.

WAS WARMLY ARGUED
PROPOSITION FOR NEW COUNTY
 IS CONSIDERED.
Citizens of Bessemer Appeared Before Committee on State and County Boundaries-Some Lively
 Speeches Were Made.

The Committee on State and County Boundaries of the Constitutional Con- vention, of which Hon. George H. Parker of Cullman is Chairman, met last night to consider the proposition to form new county out of Jefferson, to be called Bessemer County.
 A delegation, consisting of 6dessrs. Huey, Hoffman, Smith and Jackson, prominent and influential citizens of Bessemer, were before the Committee and made speeches for the new county. They were assisted by Delegate Corn well of Be3semer, who is said to be the only member from Jefferson in fla vor of the County of Bessemer. These gentlemen endeaVored to show to the Committee the great need and demand for the new county, and they all de- clared that it was backed by the peo- pie of the proposed territory and by many people outside of the area to be included in the proposed county.
 On the other side speeches were made by Messrs. Cunningham. Weatherly, Ferguson and Howze, members of the delegation from Jefferson, and they presented to the Committee their req sons why the great County of Jefferson should be be diveded. The main and most impressive reason. they said, was 
 was shown that Birmingham, the coun- ty site, is easily accessible to all DOT tions of the county, means of trans portation being provided in every di- rection, and that 1t would be wrong to cut up the county which has forged to the front and is in the lead of all other counties of the State in wealth and population, and that there were none of the reasons which usually influenced in the formation of new counties. They further argued that the proposed ac- tion was mainly to benefit the town of Bessemer and was being pushed by those directly interested in the benefit that the forma tion of new county would be to that town.
 There were lively scenes in the com mittee room between the contending factions. and while the Committee did not act, it is reported that it will ad- verse the proposition.
 The Committee on Suffrage and Flee tions will meet this morning to consid- CT some matters recommitted to it yes terday afternoon, and it will be ready to report them at this mornings ses- sion

THEY WALKED TO TOWN
The Street Railroad Company Went
 Out of Business Temporarily :. Last Night.

The Montgomery Street Railway ronnanv gave another exhibition last night of hoy mo- to operate a street car system and its would-be patrons who had gone to Highland Park with the expectation of returning to the CI<y on the cars said things about the car service that would not look well in print.
 The first break in the car service oc- cured about 8 o'clock, and for some unaccountable reason the cars refused tc budge for about thirty minutes. An unsuspecting public, however, placed it's trust in the car service and hied itself to Highland Park where the breezes blow" The pleasure seekers listened to the concert and strClled about the grassy lawns until they were tired. Then they thought of home and turned thither- ward. There were no ears in sight. The public waited. Still no cars The public waited some more Still no cars. The men in the crowd began 10 say things. They said em- phatic things. The ladies also said things which were not quite so em- phatic, but which were not at all com plimentary to the street railroad com pany.
 When the would-be patrons of the street cars had tired of renIarking up on the shortcomings of the street rau way servi, they began tJ wend their tired way cityward on the pedal ex- Jremities provided by nature for 5- centless persons.
 Citizens of Highland Park who have telephones in their houses regretted last night that they had tHese impor- tant utilities The suburbanites were awakened from their summer slUmbers by tired individuals who deslrcd to communicate to the city the important fact that the Street Railway Company had temporarily gone out of business.
 By a queer freak of telopathy or oc- cult science. known only to the street calbie, the fact ol the derelictiOn or misfortune of the Street Railway Com pany became known to the ubiquitous andl likewise pcstiferous hackmen about town ana with visions of extortion and maximum fares in thelr heads they whipped up their Durgos and made

straight for Highland Park. The cab men were met ip their mad chase to the park by tired individuals who slow ly prodded their weary way to town.
 Young men with their bes: girls who had expected to add cent fares to the dividend-paying railroad company added to the exchequer of the Jehu's and instead of being minpus 5 or 10 cents. good round 16 to dollar of Un- cle Sam's silver was required to liquid ate the account of one night at Mont- ECmery's city park
 The fact is. nearly everybody who went to Highland Park last night walked back-unless he mad a dollar.
 The cars were off duty about two hours from 10 o'clock. It was recorded at the office of tke company that a wire had broken on Hall Street. The power house said mo trouble here." The car shed answered the 'fone and said a wire had broken. The wires may be all right this morning.
 The moral to the story is that when one goes to Highland Park he should provide himself with a dollar bill to pay hack fare-unless he owns an automo- bile or a handcar.
