Special to The Herald.
NORFOLK, Oct 24.-Robert Eugene
Turner, an 1S-year-old-youth of this
city, has invented an automobile car
riage for q typewriter which. those who
have seen 1t declare, will solve prob
lem that has puzzled the manufacturers
of typewriters for years.
1t was recognized long ago, experts
assert, that an automatic carriage re-
turn for a typewriter would add from
% to 80 per cent to the speed OF the
operators. The manufacturers put ex-
perts on the problem of the transfer
a,.ce redirection and control of power,
but none was able to solve 1t.
Mr.. Turner had his attention drawn
to the matter. He began to experiment
with drawings, and for three years
studied the problem at spare times, day
and night. He finally solved the prob
lem of regulating the power at all
times, controlling and reversing it at
will by means of the space bar.
my device is very simple" Mr.. Turn
er said today, "and can be added TO
machines at a nominal cost 1t will
not affect the durability of the machine
or add to the cost of repairs. It's speed
is sufficient for all practicable pur-
poses. 1t increases the mechanical con-
troll of the carriage, making 1t unneces-
sary for the operator to remove his
hands from the keyboard as he writes.
9The mechanism causes the carriage
to return to the initial point anE Jnnati-
cally when the end of a written line
is reached, and also to return non
automatically from any point in the
line by pressing a special key. Provision
for cushioning the impact Of the car
riage to prevent destructive jar to
the machine is amply provided for, as
we'll as an improvement in the rnnways
and rollers bearing the carriage, to re-
duce the friction to a minimum.
THE momentum attained by the car
riage In its return stroke Is utilized for
the line spacing. A simple device is
introduced, so that the setting of either
the automatic or manual line 6pacer
will adjust the other TO conform in the
uniform spacing of the lines.
The principle of the mechanism en-
bodies a compound motor, consisting OF
two springs, geared in such manner
against each other that q shifting OF
the gearing results in a change OF the
relative power of the two spr nEs. ell
abling each to alternate between the
other and draw the carriage back and
forth, and mechanism for automatically
or manualy effecting the shifting.
The invention can be used as an
Improvement to any OF the STANDARD
styles of typewriters. as It does not
AFFECT any part of the mechanism ex-
cept the carriage. motors, or springs,
which II replaces"

BERLIN. Conn. Oct. 24.-Grave
CONSERVATION has settled upon the usu-
ally peaceful village of Berlin. The
situation is terrible. Physicians may
be seen on corners discussing weighty
problems with furrowed-b -browed hus-
bands. Women whisper In agitated
tones, looking anxiously over their
shoulders long enough to send Priscilla
or Mariana out of earshot.
A real calamity. approaching in sig
nfcance the awful tragedy that hung
for years over the royal house of Rus
sia. has befallen. Under the great oak
trees that shade Berlin streets little
girls may be seen pushing ambulators
in which are coo or cry tiny infants,
but, alas. each head of hair is parted
In the middle.
The secrets out. Berlin is threat
ened with goodness knows what In a
year not a male child has been born in
the village. There is no complaint to
be made in the increase of population.
1t is only the sex" of the new arrivals
that is causing grave shakings of
heads.
The selectmen say they can do moth
ing. The doctors flee from further ad-
vice Only the spinsters sit up and
administer singing sentiments on the

of the press has been called In to do its
best in relieving the situation.
Every week birthday notices Of girl
babies were being sent 10 j. r.. Beale,
editor of the Berlin News. The situa-
ton became SO shocking to his con-
science of the fitness Of things that
he offered a years subscription to his
paper to the parents who can present
a boy baby TO this feminiaed town.
Just how effectively the offer OF a
years subscription to the News may
influence the sex of Berlins future
citizens remains to be seen. Editor
Beale is only doing his best.

done and done quickly" said Beale,

TAKEN IN AND DRESSED IN
DOLL CLOTHES
Warm Water Takes Chill Out Of Tiny
Body and Police Garry Child
to the Receiving
Hospital

An eight-day old pickaninnie left in
a damp alley and hurry call for the
police formed the basis for a tragedy
comedy last night
Just as 1t was growing dusk a negro
woman, carrying in her arms young
hoy baby stealthily entered the alley
alongside of the home of ]. A. DoniVan,
S1S East Avenue Twenty-one. and
seeing through the open window the
family gathered around the dinner
table deposited the unwelcome little
stranger on the ground and sought
safety i'm fight.
For about fifteen minutes the little
fellow seems to have slept and then,
feeling the cold and possibly being hun
cry, he began in very strenuous terms
to demand his mamma.
Within the house the family, uncon-
scious of their little black visitor, were
eating the evening meal. But the noise
bothered them and finally Mr.. Donivan
said: IT'S those cats next door; but l
don't intend to feed them" referring to
several cats which the next door neigh
bors who had moved away recently,
bad left to forage on the neighborhood.
Charges Baby with Gun
But the cries continued and finally
clared that he believed IL to be a child.
To be on the safe side Mr.. Donivan,
who is the president of the j. Dunn
Realty company, went upstairs for his
gun. In a few minutes he returned and
charged on the alley.
The sight that met his eyes was a
pitiful one. Lying on small piece of
blanket, with a handkerchief about his
waist and a few rags to cover his shiv-
ering little body, lay the chilled form
of a little negro boy. From the child's
appearance he seemed 10 be not more
than eight days old.
The man could scarcely believe his
own eyes. and hastily called the rest Of
the family Tenderly taking the little
waif in her arms Mrs. Donivan brought
him into the house and began to restore
the failing circulation.
The rags were stripped off. the half
frozen little body bathed In warm
water and the child began to lose his
numbpess. The question Of clothes for
the baby brought the l4-year-old daugh-
ter of the house forward with her old
doll clothes which she had discarded,
and IL was found that they We're an
exact fit for the youngster.
Given TO Police
But the family were unwilling TO
keep the little pickaninnie over night
lest some unknown law might bind
him TO them for good and 50 the polics
were summoned to claim the homeless
one. He was wrapped in warm shawl
and taken by Captain Broadhead to the
receiving hospital, where Mrs. McPeek.
the matron, took charge Of the little
waif.
Al the D0nyan home on Twenty-hrst
street all was excitement. The fact
that the child was black seemed to Inn
press itself particularly on Mrs. DOnl.
vans mind. "Of course" she said,
anyone would have done that much
for the poor little fellow But / can't
understand why any one would want
TO leave black baby at our house. II
he had been a white child l would have
kept him til morning, but as II was we
dipped him in warm water till the cir
eulation was restored and then put the

SWAMPED
BY OLD RECORDS
RAILROAD SENDS MASS OF
DOCUMENTS
Judge overruIes Contention Of the
Defense In Rebate Cases and en-.
ployes subpoenaed Must
Give Evidence

The United states court was liter
ally ewainped with old records and
way bills yesterday from the Santa
Fc Railroad company i'm the rebate
question before the grand jury. Most
of the documents were worthless for
evidence.
United States Judge Olin Welborn
overruled the Santa Fe in its efforts
to block the investigation of the al
legged rebating by his decision yester-
day. He refused to quas hthe writ
of subpoena regarding the twenty-five
local Witnesses summoned before the
federal grand jury
United States District Attorney Oscar
Lawler began the inquiry before the
twenty-three Jurors, good and true
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The
rebate question investiga tion was taxi
on up under the provision of the DlkinS
act providing for a fine of $1,000 TO
500, 900 in each conviction. chasing both
parties TO the freight rebate as being
equally guilty.
Thomas w. Pate, local freight agent
of the Santa Fe. was the first witness.
He was followed by w. a. Barker of
Barker brothers. Frank Barnes, credit
man for Barker brothers, was next
called. No evidence Of importance was
heard.
District Attorney Lawler, with all
the advantages gained yesterday, ao-
mits that he has hard work ahead of
him, but he Is determined TO push the
case upon the violation of the law
prohibiting payment and acceptance of
rebate.
Must Tell of Rebates
It is understood that District Attor-
ney Lawler will seek to compel the
former employees of the furniture COM
binations to tell what they know about
the rebates which have been solicited
and received by the furniture combina-
tions.
1t is stated by those in positions to
know that these witnesses will be
guarded Friday, as they were yester-
day. by government employees to pre-
vent them from being interviewed. 1t
ssaid Attorney Lawler is determined
to guard the secrecy of the grand jury.
Crowds quickly gathered about the
big trucks that conveyed the records
and bills to the court, but they We're
quickly dispersed by the guards.
1t Is now q question of when, where
and how the federal investigators VIII
look into the tactics and methods of
the alleged combinations.
It Is said that the grand jury is in
called for had not been delivered by
the Santa Fe, but as none of the au-
thorities would have anything to say
about the subject, the report could not
be verified, owing to the reluctance of
those interested to give information.
The grand jury has adjourned until
Friday to give United States District
Attorney Lawler an opportunity to per-
sonally look into the subject.

Wednesday night. The fire broke
out in the house occupied by MIR.
J. H. Williford and from that

Williford and family were attending
church and the house was burning
throughout the interior before dis

house, among other things 500 in
money and a check for a bale OF
cotton recently sold to Monarch

money and household furniture,
