70 BURN AIR IKE GAS
Three Cleveland Tradesmen Dis
cover Process That May Rev-
oIutionize Gas Industry.
Chemically Treated Air That
Burns Like Gas and Is In-
expensive.
Process Involves Little Expense
and Produces an Intense
White Light.

Cleveland, July e.-Lighting and
heating may be revoutionized by pro-
cess that makes it possible to burn at
mospheric air treated by a newly dis
covered chemical process. Three diff
ferent inventors claim to have made
what seems to be the same discovery at
about the same time. Henry SoeGer. a
groceryman. was the first to organize
company to operate his invention. He
been at work on his gas invention for
years.
In the bedroom over Soeder's grocery
store on Payne avenue, guarded by the
inventor or some member of his fam
lily, is a metal box of about eight cubic
feet capacity. Inside this, Soeder says.
is series of small shelves on which is
placed the chemical that turns air into
inflamable gas. a small hand pump be-
side the box forces the air thru it and
into the gas pipes extending thruout his
house and store.
Ranges, fire places and stoves in the
house and lights in the store are all
supplied from this apparatus. Mantle
burners resembling the Welsbach are
used for the lights and the new gas pro-
duces q more brilliant light than city
gas. In heating burners the gas makes
an almost invisible blue flame, perfect
ly smokeless and OF great heating pow
err. The inventor says the gas will melt
copper in the open air, which has been
considered impossible.
The nature of the chemicals used Is
kept secret by the inventor, who vii.
not diyulge this until he has secured
foreign patents. A company capitalized
at $4,000 has been organized to oper-
ate Soeder's invention, Lake Shore rail-
read and United States Steel Corpora
ton officials being among the stock
holders. Soeder refuses TO part with
more than 40 per cent of the stock and
keeps his secret from the stockholders.
Soeder says the chemicals are as
common as grass and SO cheap that To-
comotives, steamships and ordinary
boilers and furnaces can use it more
economically than coal. He says
steamer can cross the Atlantic ocean
with barrel OF the cHelilcats Luz iiisi-
ing fuel for her boilers.
When the incorporation of his COM
rany was announced John Friedel. who
keeps a grocery opposite Soeder's, made
public that he had employed an expert
named Wa a;on and they had produced
n duplicate of Soeder's gas. He also
keeps his discovery secret. but shows
the same brilliant lights in his store.
Almost a the same time Henry Dewitt,
a nearby saloonkeerler, announced
that he had discovered similar pro-
cess of making the atmosphere into in
fammable gas, and he says he will have
his saloon lighted with the new gas in
two days.

German Anarchists Support Plan OF
Chicago Brethren for utopia"
Berlin. July German anarchists
announce that they are preparing to
support the project of their Chicago
anarchist utopia" in the province OF
Santa Catharina, in Brazil An appeal
outlining the details of the scheme,
signed u. d. Mark, 331 Walnut street,
Chicago" is published in tonight's

Of the German anarchists. r.
Mark states that the Chicago s"reds'

the purpose of founding an industrial
colony and refuge for anarchists of all
countries.
Chicago, July 1.-Few if any of the
Chicago anarchist leaders will go ia
Brazil to join the anarchist conlony
there. Some time ago an appeal was

Mark, in the local anarchist organ.
Free Society, but neither Abraham
Isaak, Henry Travaglio, G. Cianciabilla,
II. Havel nor any of the other we'll
known local reds" has expressed any
intention of joining the scheme. The
plan is to get a large number of an

experiment of living in communistic
society without law or government. a
number of anarchists are said to have
settled there and are satisfied with
their lot, The initiative of founding
the colony came from the men already
settled in Brazil, and many of the Chi
cago reds" are giving it their moral
support, but at present express no in
tention or desire to go there.

Road Goes Thru Unsafe Bridge.
Elgin, ILL.,, July 2.-One of the large
interurban trolley cars running between
Elgin and Aurora plunged thru q
bridge crossing on the Fox river at st.
Charles today, carrying it's load of
thirty passengers into the river.
There was scarcely any warning. One
of the spans of the bridge suddenly
collapsed from the weight of the car,
and that section falling with the car
to the river bed. The car caught for
q moment on stone abuttment and
lessened the force of the fall. No one
WAS killed, but several persons were
injured, among whom We're the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. William Hench. Dundee; head
bruised, injured internally.
Mrs Chas. j. Smith, Chicago; in
jured internally.
Mrs. Hopkins, Muscatine, Iowa;

hurt.
Mrs. Granger, Geneva; bruised and
severely shocked.
The bridge had been considered un-
safe for q month and the authorities
We're contemplating soon to replace
it.
