PATENTS GRANTED;
INVENTOR DIES
Edward WaIdrOn Passed
Away When Work Of Life
Was Realized
HIS INVENTION Is A SECRET

Whom Edward Waldron. chief engineer
nf tho Waldron Flexible Rotary Engine
Complny. was found dead IN his board
ins house in Philadelphia ON November
~ ihe secret OF che power Of what may
prove 60 bo an engine which in future
years may rcvoluuonizc the speed of
water trafic apparently died with him.
Expsriemnted For Thirty Years.
For thirty years Mr.. Waldron had
worked at experimenting on type of en-
glne which would propcl boats at a high
rate of speed and the result was tho
Pusoy and Jones Company of this city.
some months ago contracted to builo "a
boat in which the Waldron engine could
be tried. The boat was built and the en-
gine mad boilers installed about two weel s.
ago, but the day before it was TO be
launched, November IS, the inventor was
found dead, death evidently having taken
place several days before.
The day preceding that on which his
body was discovered inquiry was made
at the Pusey and Jones Company's Office
as TO his whereabouts as word had been
received from Washington that patents
had been granted on his engine and for
which Mr.. Waldron has been applying for
several years.
The launching was postponed for a
week and when tho boat was given "a
trial trip it was found that her speed
was remarkable A second trial was given
on Sunday and even a greater rate OF
speed was developed than on the previous
occasion.
Speed in Doubt.
ON both these trips no one was per-
mitted but officials OF the engine company
and they haSe refused to divulse the ex-
act speed that was made Mr.. Waldron
claimed frequently. however. when in
specling the building of the boat that IL
the proper kind of boilers could be in
stalled in her she would make a speed OF
IS miles an hour IL is said that but one
member OF the Waldron Flexible Rotary
Engine Company has an inkling OF the
secret of the speed power.
The new boat IS but 6S feet over all
with beam Of seven feet and a draught
Of four feet four inches. Her engine Is
about iive feet in length, three feet in
width and stands but eighteen inches in
{ height. Mr.. Waldron invariably insisted
that a more powerful engine in a larger
boat would develope great speed.
SO far as the Pusey and Jones COMPANY
Is concerned the boat IS completed ana Il
awaiting delivery. II is possible, how
ever that a house may be added before
she is taken away.
