A STREET CARIFENDER.
DR.. Rohmer, OF Bay St. Louis, Which
seems Practical,

N. o. Picayune, April %, 1903:
DR.. w. B. Rohmer, of Bay st. Louis,
Miss, has on exhibition at the marble
yard as the corner of Canal and Villere
streets street car fender invented and
patented by him, which he hopes that a
test will be made by the city with view
to its use on the electric cars. The fen
der has been examined by experts in New
York and Chicago and approved. It is
automatic in its action, light, strong and
quickly transferred from one end Of the
car to the other.
1t is attached to the cars by hooks,
and when not working is elevated from
the tracks inches. 1t has a small roll
er attached to rod on each side. The
rod comes in contact with anything that
may get on the tracks and this releases
the fender and the rod flies up out of the
way and the fender drops to the track
and runs along there, picking up the OBJ
ject. The fender is made Of iron and
wire netting, and it is said to prevent the
possibility Of injury to any one struck by
it.
The Streets and Landings Committee
Of the city council intends to have gen
eral test Of tenders as soon as others are
ready.

STREET CAR TENDERS.
Bay st. Louis Man Has a Valuable
Device Patented.

N. .. Times-Democrat, April 7th, 1908
New Orleans is one OF the few Ameri.
can cities whose street cars are without
tenders, unprovided with means of pre-.
serving life, should an unfortunate be
caught on the tracks in front of a swift
ly moving car.
In all Northern cities, by State law
and municipal enactment, street cars
must be fortified with means that afford
some sort OF protection to persons who
are compelled to cross tracks. Failure
to do so is met with heavy fines. In this
city there is no protection whatsoever
The cars go spinning along at rates that
would do credit to some steam cars, bells
that remain mute, children all around
playing IN the streets ready to be man
gled by some careless motorman.
DR.. w. b. Rohmer of Bay st. Louis
has patented fender that he thinks
should be attached to every car. A mo-
del may be seen at the marble yard, Can
al and Villere streets. Speaking of the
invention, DR.. Rohmer says:
81 have invented car fender which
has been pronounced by mechanical ex
perts as a most superior and perfect de-
vice. In New York it was critically ex-
amined by board of mechanical ex-
perts, and was pronounced as possessing
more than ordinary merit. In Chicago
1t was examined by the mechanical de-
partment OF the railway company and
received its endorsement. This fender
possesses every feature that would go to
constitute perfect device. 1t is auto
matte in its action, feature so neeessa-
ry, being perfectly independent of the
motorman, thus rendering it ever ready
to guard against accidents. 1t is light
yet strong and durable, and is quickly
and with the greatest facility attached
to the car by means of hooks, and quick
ly and easily transferred from one end
of the car to the other end. 1t is cheap
ly constructed, and possesses the great
advantage OF being ornamental to the
front of the car.
Without giving minute details as re-
CARDS its construction, | will simply say
that this fender is attached to the front
of the car by means of hooks, and is
elevated about four inches above the
level OF the track when in normal posi-
ton. 1t is attached to plate by means
OF hinges, ,and has springs pressing upon
either side which forces it to the ground
when disengaged, when it runs with two
small wheels upon the track. When in
normal position it rests on small roller
to a rod on each side, this rod
several inches to the front of
the fender. When this rod comes in con-
tact with any object upon the track it
releases the fender and flies up out of
the way; the front of the fender at onne
drops to the track, upon which it runs,
picking up any object that should be
there.
"On account of the many accidents
from electric cars, and reading an arti-
Gle in The Times-Democrat some years
back on the great necessity OF good,
reliable fender, l commenced to study
the matter, and went to work and feel
confident that have succeeded in the
one invented, from the fact that | have
received the commendation and indorse-
ment of master mechanics wherever
have shown it,"

New Fender.
N. o. News, March 10. 1908:


Mr.W. B. Rohmer OF Bay St.Louis has
invented fender to be used on electric
cars and it is now exhibition at the mar
BILE yards, corner Canal and villere
streets.
1t has every requisite that should 90
to the formation OF a useful fender. 1t
is so constructed as TO work automati- :
cally and precise in its actions, and in
no way depends upon the motorman for
operation.
1t is constructed of light material, and
may be easily and quickly attached to
car or transferred from one car to an
other without the least trouble. 1t can
also be constructed without any great
expense.
The fender is so constructed that it is
an ornament to the front of any car.
Mr.. Rohmer has worked for several
years on this new fender, and is using
his utmost efforts, and with the assistance
N his friends, will probably succeed in
having it adopted by the New Orleans
Railways Company.

solve to the satisfaction of street car
magnates and operators all over the
world. There have been innumerble in
ventlons tried, and none to date have

too expensive, some utterly worth

those who share his belief, among them
the street car people of Chicago. The

be appreciated it must be seen. II con-

NEW RUSSIAN TARIFF
A BLOW At GERMANY
Advances 50 to $50 Per Cent
Over Treaty Rates.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1.-The no
voc Vremya." in an analysis Of the new
Russian tariff, promulgated January Is,
says that the increase in rates over the
existing tariff is % per cent for the
great majority Of imports, and more
than 100 per cent for many important
groups. Among the latter are manu-
features Of wood. leather, and metals
The tariff is characterized by a more
detailed differentiation, by which the
Iowsr-priced articles are taxed less than
the higher price ones. DiTerential
treatment against imports overland
compared to those brought by sea
averages 20 per cent on coal. iron, steel
plated and metalIurgicaI manufactures,
machines, and other instruments.
The "Noyoe Vremya" states that the
increase over the treaty rates is natur-
ally far larger than over the existing
tariff law Sewing machines now pay
S2-25, and under the new rates they will
pay from $3.50 to $40. The paper
points out that all Germany's leading
exports to Russia will be taxed under
the new tariff from so to 100 per cent
over the treaty rates, and observes
that Russia is now sufficiently equipped
for a discussion with Germany The
new rates. If applied, would seriously
cripple commerce, but the paper hopes
that mutual concessions will obviate a
tariff struggle.
