SUBSTITUTE FOR Q A
Experiments With Oil for Fuel on
Steamers.

Detroit. June 26.-For several
at the works of the Detroit
of the American Ship Build
ing company, experiments have been
going forward to determine the prac-
.ticability of the use of oil for fuel
on lake vessels instead Of coal. 1t is
given out by officials OF the company
that the Investigations have shown
that the use of oil for fuel will result
in a great saving of cargo space. Three
barrels Of crude petroleum weighing
900 pounds will, it is claimed, give
the same amount of heat as Q ton oa
coal. The heat obtainable from Oil
is found to be practically unlimited
a fire brick having been melted IN
the course Of experiments here. Il
Is proposed to use compressed ar IN.

having been tried on Atlantic and

HELD ON MURDER CHARGE
OPINION DIVIDED AS TO TRUTH
OF BENEFITS STORY.
Man Who Confessed to Completely in
Murder Of Nora Fuller Now De-
sires to Get Out Of Jail.

Seattle, June ga special to the
Times from Sedro-Wooley, Wash,
says:
John Bennett, the self-confessed
murderer of Nora Fuller, in San Fran
cisco, is now being held here on in
structions received by wire from the
chief of police of San Francisco. The
knowledge of this fact Seems to have
brought the prisoner to a realization
of the fix he is new in, and he appears
to be nervous and fearful of the pos
sibilities which confront him. Yes
terday a formal complaint was issued
against him, charging. him directly
with the murder. This complaint was
read to him by Justice of the Peace
| Willard, in the presence of the city
marshal and representatives OF the
Times, when he again acknowledged
that he was the man wanted, although
he demurred to some OF the charges
contained in the complaint. Yester-
day evening Bennett sent for Messrs.
Gable and Seabry, attorneys, and II
is understood that Bennett wanted
them to get him out of custody on a
writ of habeas corpus. AS there is
no money for the attorneys 1t is not
likely that they will take up the case
4 Opinions are divided here as to the
truth or falsity Of the mans comics
sion. Many seem to think that NJ
{ SO nearly answers the published DE
! scription of the fugitive Bennett an
) has read so much about the case II
the newspapers, that the matter ha
i worked on his mind to the extent tina
it has become a well defined halls
cination. There are others dispose
to the belief that he is a nervy frau
and his sole object is to get a fre
ride to San Francisco.

sterling integrity, his decisions were
never questioned. He was made the
first recorder Of Alder Gulch (Vir-
