Not in Touring Car.

Asked If he had tried his cells in tour
Ing cars, he said: Not TO any great ex-
tent. I am not an automobile manufac-
turer, but the cells are there If wanted.
a friend, however, equipped his touring
car with my cells. It weighs two tons,
and last week he tried it on one of the
New Jersey roads, with the result that
he ran easily at a rate of thirty-three
miles an hour
Mr.. Edison says that his storage cells
are no smaller than the present lead
cells. but that they are about half the
weight of the latter. Moreover, he says
that while the life of the lead cells is
about one year, his Will not have to be
renewed for eight or ten years. Equipped
with his cells. he says, a vehicle could
be run from Philadelphia to New York
without recharging on the journey.

Conditions Unchanged.

Mr.. Rrandenburg continues:
''If there has been the slightest indi-
cation OF increased rigor have not been
able to find it, and conditions have been
worse this past season in the grand i'm
migrant rush than ever before. Not an
arrest has been made; not an attempt At
prosecution; not even an adequate Off
cial report on conditions secured"
The writer quotes at length the laws
of the United States commanding that
the steerage quarters on ships bringing
immigrants into America shall be kept
clean and well ventilated; that separate
berths shall be provided for individuals,
and that the immigrants shall receive
three meals a day, decentIy served at
tables.
He then gives his personal observa-

DR.. Morris is pastor OF the Ahyssinian

The church was crowded with me-

letter of regret, which was read.
Norris, who was chairman OF the
