il is impossible TO get this, as happens
occasionally for brief periods. lump coal
is crushed before being used. Big en-
gines drive dynamos, pumps and com
pTessors. Twelve hundred horse power
is converted into electricity. 100 horse
power. into hydraulic pressure. and
800 into air pressure. The electricity
is used about the shops for running the
machinery and for lighting purposes.
The air does variety of work. includ-
ing furnishing blasts for the furnaces
and power for punches and drills. and
the hydraulic pressure. which is car
ried at 1900 pounds square inch. is
used in the heaviest machinery to
bend and rend steel. Pressure is equal
lied by means of huge steel tank sus-
pended in the power house. This is
filled with 40 tons of old iron and slides
up and down, reducing the steam pres
sure on the pumps as il rises and in
creaSes as it falls.
AS an illustration of the complete
ness of the power plant, it may be

stated that even the oiling Of the ma
chinerr is mostly done automatically.
There are two oil pumps that are kept
going, forcing oil through brass pipes
to the various points of friction, and
this is regulated so nicely that there is
less waste than there would be if the
work We're done by hand Another
thing Is the absence of smoke There
is practically none. The draft is aided
by fans and the combustion is nearly
perfect.
A notable thing about the distribu-
ton over the plant is that il is all done
underground. There are tunnels ar
ranged 50 that pipes carrying steam,
air and water, and the electric wires pass
through them to all points These tun-
nels are large enough to admit the
passage of q man and so ~epairs can
be easily made. One use that is
made of steam that is peculiar is that
of cooking the grease from parts of
locomotives. These are placed in re

NEGROES IN THEATRES
Test Suits Against Orpheum Company
q Are Brought
New York Tribune.

What Jacob Newman, q lawyer Of
No. 500 Broadway, characterizes as test
suits to determine the validity Of the
law which provides a penalty Of not
less than $50 nor more than $500 for
refusing admission to negroes to places
OF public amusement, have been brought
against the Orpheum company, which
owns the Circle theater, at Sixteenth
street and Columbus circle. The plain.
tifs are Mrs. Lucy Thomas, a negro
woman, who lives in West Nfty-third
street, and her daughter, Bessie. They
declared that on Nov. 26 they purchased
two tickets to the Circle theater, went
there, expecting to enjoy the perform
tance and were shown to their seats.
"A few minutes later the manager Of
the theater ordered them to leave.
Their protests were not needed, and
they finally were put out.
The OTpheum company, thru its at
torneys, House, Grossman & Vorhaus,
have entered q general. denial. They
demand a jury trial and the cases will
come up shortly in the tenth district
court.
"These women were put out Of the
theater solely on account Of their col.
or" said Mr.. Newman yesterday to q
Tribune reporter. "They hope to re-
cover tho penalty provided in chapter
1,04l Of the laws of 1885. A great
many colored people have been forced
to leave theaters in New York recently.
A decision in our favor In this case
will result in similar actions against
different playhouses.p
