INTERURBAN LINE
WITHOUT TROLLEY.
Appleton-Seymour Electric Line Is to Be
Operated with New Patent Elec-

Appleton, Wis, May 10.-[Special.I-
A deal is about closed with Chicago
parties for the establishment of an in
terurban line from Appleton to Seymour
and work will begin next week. 1t will
be an electric road, but not a single troll
ley Wire will be used. This is a new
invention which will be tried on this
twenty mile road and promises, if sue
cessful here, to reyolutionize interurban
systems.
The method, it is said, has been tried
near Chicago, but only for short dis
tances. The Appleton-Seymour venture
will be the first extensive application of
the new invention.
The cars are run by electricity which
is made on the car by means of a gaso
line engine which operates a genera tor.
There are storage batteries which &C
cumulate surplus power. When hills OF
other exceptional burdens on the motive
power are reached, the generator is moi
overtaxed, but the storage batteries au
tomatically supply the power. The main
value Of the invention is said to be III
