Rabbi Sigmund Frey Claims He Has
Car That VIII Travel over 200
Miles an Hour.

Rabbi Sigmund Frey, of Wabash,
Ind, who has proposed to the post
master general to transmit postal
matter to Europe in two days, was
invited to explain his invention, but
beyond few hints declined to go
into details until he received advices
from Washington.
II have" he said, made the offer,
but supposed that my attorney alone
knew of it, 1t would interfere with
my plans were / to state just how
l purpose to achieve the results, but
my scheme is feasible.
Il have been in conference with a
celebrated electrician, working out
my ideas, and have progressed to
a point where may put it to prac-
teal test. Electricity will be the
motive power and the vehicle will be
car, which, with safety, may travel
over sea and land at speed of from
200 to 300 miles an hour.
"If the government sees fit to make
conditional contract with me l ex-
pect to demonstrate the success of
my invention at an early date.
Il am irritated that the matter has
gotten into the newspapers, but /
hope to take the work up in earnest
with the post Office department. I'm
til the contract is made must refuse
to particularize."
