Bemidji Inventor Accorded
Exclusive Right to Manu-
facture Gas Plant.
FACTORY TO BE ERECTED in
BEMIDJI.
Interested Capitalists Will Furn.
ish Money to Back the
Project,

George G. Weetman, who re-
sides at Us Minnesota avenue,
yesterday received from the pat
ent department at Washington a
patent upon an acetylene gas
plant which he invented. Mr..
Weetman applied for a patent
about three months ago and
since that time the matter has
been pending in Washington with
the ultimate result that he will
be accorded the exclusive right
to manufacture the article.
MIR. Weetman states that he
will not sell his patent, but in
tends to erect a factory for it's
manufacture in Bemidj il in the
near future. He claims to have
a number of capitalists interest
ed in the invention and that they
will furnish money with which
to erect and maintain the project.
A model of the plant has been
on exhibition in Bemidji for some
time past, and number Of ex-
perts who have examined it de.
clare it to be one Of the best
things of the kind in existence.
Many points Of superiority are
claimed for it, among them being
that the plant is SO built that an
explosion is impossible, that it
has six times the Illuminating
power of coal gas, that it burns
any grade or quality Of carbide
and also that itmay be recharged
in one half of a minute.
Mr.. Weetman states that the
plants will be made in many diff,
ferent sizes and will range in
price from $50 to 81, 900.

NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY AND
ELEVATED LINES TIED UP BY
WALkoUT OF EMPLOYEES.
eREAT INCONVENIENCE TO THE PUBLIC
SURFACE ROADS UNABLE TO HAN.
DIE THE IMMENSE INCREASE
IN PASSENGER TRAFFIC.

New York, March ga strike by
1900 employees of the Interb0rough
Rapid Transit company, operating the
subway and Manhattan elevated lines
in this city, which took effect at 4
a. n.y. was one of the most complete in
its early stages of any in the history
of New York.
After the hour set no train was
started with union crews and the latter
quit each train when the terminals Of
the various lines had been reached.
One union motorman on the Ninth
avenue elevated line refused to desert
with the remainder Of the crew and,
so far, his was the only detection re-
ported. Many of the ticket sellers re-
manned at their posts because they are
under bond, but posted signs announc-
ing the strike and refused to sell
tickets.
Crews of strike breakers were hur-
ried to the northern ends of the lines,
but not many were found who under
stood the. manipulation of airbrakes.
In the subway crews were secured for
a few trains, which were run up and
down over short stretches in an effort
to teach new men the method of opera
ton. Similar efforts were made on the
elevated lines.
Pickets Warn Patrons.
Pickets from the strikers ranks
were posted everywhere outside sta
lions and warned persons who at
tempted to enter that the strike was
on and declared that st was danger
Gus to ride on the trains
They asserted that safety devices
and emergency brake cords had been
removed.
Free access was offered to all per-.
sons who wished to ride SO far as the
officials of the company were con-
cerned In fact few Of the ticket
booths were occupied and passengers
desiring to ride were admitted at their
own risk.
Surface lines reaped a harvest. Hun
dreds of thousands of persons accus
toned to being Whirled down town on
express trains and who knew nothing
of the strike until they reached the
streets after breakfast hustled for the
nearest car line.
Similar conditions prevailed in every
section of the city, On the Upper
West Side and in Harlem morning
newspapers were not delivered as
early as usual.
After 8 o'clock conditions on the
subway were greatly improved. Trains
were operated frequently and without
interference, confusion or delay.
