ALCOHOL MOTORS,
Germany Reported TO He Making
Great Progress with Them.

neporteo TO He Making
Great Progress with Them.
Our consul general at Coburs reports that
Germany has made a remarkable advance
In the las eighteen months in perfectins
and utilizing the alcohol motor. He at
tributes this progress largely to the in
tense personal interest which the emperor
has taken in the application OF alcohol to
Industrial purposes.
lie says the Germans are asserting great
advantages for the alcohol motor over tbe
ordinary steam engine. The new motors.
TOT example, may be filled, oiled and started
In from two to three minutes; there is no
need constantly TO supply them with coal.
there is no smoke or smell, the weight of
the motor is only about half that of a
steam engine OF equal power and alcohol is
easily obtainable in all districts.
large part Of the alcohol is made from
potatoes, Of which tine empire produces
more than any other country in Europe
MolasseS, the residue left from beet sugar
manufacture, is also largely used as the
raw material OF alcohol
Thus far 1t has been found that. Mt its
present price, the alcohol motor competes
successfully with all forms of motive en-
ergy OF less than twenty horse power. II
is thus specially adapted for threshing
grain pumping and other kinds of farm
work.
The result is that a large part OF the
alcohol fuel produced in farming regions
remote from coal fields is already being
consumed in the districts where IT is dis
titled. 1t is running pumps, saws for cut
ting lumber and -four mills, in addition TO
Its service on the farms
The world is talking from time to time of
the day when coal resources will be ex-
haasted 1t is ceasing to wonder, however.
about the substitutes that will replace coal.
IL is already evident that alcohol is to be
one OF the best and most practicable sources
OF motive power; and the supply of alcohol
can never, like coal, become exhausted.
1t Will be distilled in abundance as long
as helds are fertile. AS long as the vegeta-
ton used to produce alcohol grows there
VIII be no danger of failure OF the supply.

Offended Maiden Brings Suit

AN ACCOUNTING IS ASKED.
Estate Of $250,000 involved and 4 Is
for the United States Ceurt
10 Decide.

New York. April 25-Prelimlnary steps
were taken and papers were served upon
the defendants in Brooklyn yesterday In
a suit for an accounting OF an estate
worth $4,000, consisting principally of
real estate. The case il peculiar In many
respects. and as 1t stands is very in
tricate family quarrel
The complainant, who has begun the ac-
tion in the United States circuit court
OF the Eastern district. is Edith Seaman,
OF Hudson county. New Jersey, and the
defendants are Gustav f. Heubach. Carl
~ Kulenkampr. Gustav S. l.. Heubach
and Mrs. Mary Kulenkampff, the wife OF
Mr.. Kulenkampn. The estate IL that of
Amanda w Heubach. who dying in 1895,
appointed her husband and her friend,
Kulenkampff. az executors for her in
fant" son, Gustav s. l.. Heubach, and her
daughter. Adeline G. Van Valkenburgh.
In the will Mr.. Heubach was given life
interest I'm the estate. which he subse-
quently assigned 60 his stepdaughter.
Adeline c. Van Valkenburgh. The latter
has In her turn assigned all her interests
20 Edith Seaman, who is now bringing
the suit.
Adeline has determined to have an ac-
counting. She is desirous OF saving the
property for her brother and herself, ana
she does not let the fact that one of the
defendants Is her stepfather hinder her.
Toward Kulenkampff she has additional
reason for irritation. She was engaged
TO him at the time of her mothers death.
but he subsequently broke the engagement
and married his present Wife
one reason why the daughter herself Is
not bringing the suit Is the fact that
her lawyers thought her case would be
stronger II brought i'm the United States
courts. and In ordegto do so IL was neces-
sary to have the action begun by person
i'm another state. One OF her counsel,
Henry Warncke, accordingly prevailed
upon friend. Edith Seaman. 10 bring the
suit i'm her own name, the daughters in
terests having previously been Temporal
rily assigned 10 her TO enable her 10 do
so.
As complainant. Edith Seaman charges
that Kulenkampff sold various pieces OF
real estate under his care for inadequate
considerations, and that some OF these
parcels We're afterward reconveyed to
the executor individually and 10 other
persona who received title TO them with
the unders tandiiig that they were 20 hold
the same as trustee for Kulenkampff. She
also charges that he has failed 10 account
for thes um of $4,000 which he obtained
from one sale. and that he paid $500 of
this to Heubach. the father.
