The prisoner seemed dumfounded yester-

adventure and declared that the big doses OF
Gowanus whisky he consumed on Wednes-

He said that he and his brother, Edward
De Alleaume, a mason, had been engaged
most OF the day In repairing some damage
caused by fire in the reotory Of st. Francis
Xavier's Church, and on quitting work

SPEED WITH SUBWAY TUNNEL.
Early Next Year Brooklyn VIII Get to The
BrOnx without CHANGING Cars.

Bronx without Changing Cars.
Chief Engineer Rice of the Rapid Transit
Commission said yesterday that such prog
ress was being made in boring the tunnel
section under the East River that there was
every prospect of it's being finished before
the section under the streets OF Brooklyn
was completed. From the Manhattan side
OF the river the tunnel has been built as
far as midstream, while on the Brooklyn
side the work has advanced beyond the
pier line.
The contractors for the tunnel have been
able to post their work at unexpected
speed because they nave not had 70 blast
through as much rock in the bed OF the river
as they had expected to encounter, and
the reason why they will be ahead OF the
contractors for the land section In Brooklyn
Is because work on that part of the new sub
way has been delayed by the change In the
plans, providing for four track road under
Fulton street and Flatbush avenue.
This changeb IF plan will not interfere with
the stretch OF the subway under Jor alemon
street to the Borough Hall, and Brooklyn
ties can depend upon It that in the early part
OF next year they will be able to travel from
the Borough Hall to The Bronx without
change OF cars.
Mr.. Rice added that he and the engineers
OF the marlborough company were at work
on the vent ilation problem and that he
would promise that the discomforting air
conditions OF the Manhattan subway would
be avoided in the Brooklyn extension.

grand larceny and three charges regard
ing the uttering and printing Of obscene
pictures. II Carlton should be convicted
Of all these crimes, the inspector declared.
he will have to serve forty-eight years,
besides being fined 81 son.
When Carlton was first arrested the
main desire on the part Of the police was
to weave a net Of circumstantial evidence
around him 80 as to convict him on tho
charge Of having caused the death Of his
second wife, Mamie German Carlton. DR..
O'Connor of Manhattan was engaged to
analyze the stomach and organs OF Mrs.
Carlton, and yesterday District Attorney
Clarke said he had not as yet received M.
O'Connor's report and he did not expect 1t
for some time. as he had told the chemist
to take plenty Of time.
Meantime Carlton has stopped talking
about his case. He found that his story OF
double" was not belle we'd, and now he re-
fers all questions to his counsel. His trial on
the indictment charging him with the lar
ceny Of 500 from his roommate. Harry
Schaub, will be held In the County Court in
September.

ORANGE, N. j., Aug. Sin announcing
this afternoon that he had solved the prob
lem OF the electric propulsion Of auto vehi-
cles, Thomas A. Edison took occasion to
disoredit recent extravsgant assertions
attributed to him concerning his electric
storage battery, which he says he has per-
fected. Mr.. Edison said that within few
weeks work would be started on an I'M
mense factory building on Lakeside avenue.
Mr.. Edison said that the recent statement
that his battery would drive an automobile
at tho ratio Of IS miles An hour from New
York to Philadelphia and back on single
charge Of the battery was untrue. what
be did say was that q pleasure vehicle.

In reducing the weight Of the battery to
about forty pounds per horsepower. It

Il do not pretend to have solved the

only be possible when moro charging

Cooper Hewitt Of New York has helped
solve that problem with his mercury rec
tifer which takes the place Of the old trans
former and makes 1t possible to. convert
the alternating currents used in small
towns 80 as to make them available for
charging batteries. With proper motor
and wagon equipment We can take our
cells and operate an ordinary delivery
wagon for IS per cent Of the cost Of main

The inventor said he has worked with
the particular object Of applying power
to auto trucks for commercial purposes
and that he can drive a two ton truck now
at the rate OF thirty-three miles an hour.
Mr.. Edison said that the stomach trouble
from which he has been suffering for several
years is greatly improved. He attributes
the improvement to constant riding In his
big steam automobile.
