OF ENGINES-HER PRODUCTS
SUPERIOR TO FOREIGN
MADE MACHINES.
s25O,o00 FOR EXPERIMENTS
French and German Locomotives In
ferior According to Louisiana
Exposition Competition.

That American passenger locomo-
tives for speed, economy and power
are superior to the best of those con-
structed abroad, has just been dem
onstrated by a six months test, now
completed. which was begun for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
and which involved an expenditure
of $250.000.
Exhaustive tests We're made under
the direction of an advisory commit
tee consisting Of three members each
of the American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers and three members of
the American Railway Master Me-
chanics Association, Among whom
were DR.. w. F. M. Goss, dean of the
School Of Engineering, Purdue Uni
versity; Edwin NJ Herr, vice presi-
dent of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company; J. E..
Sague, first vice president Of the
American Locomotive Company; !;
John A. F. Aspinall, general manager
of the Lancaster and Yorkshire Rail-
way, England, and Karl Steinbiss, di-
rector of the Royal Prussian Rail
way, Germany. The American pas
senger engines tested were one of
the New York Central high speed
type, used for hauling the Empire
State Express, and one of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe balanced
compounds.
Charles Ducas, who was prominent
ly identified with the drawing up of
the results of the trial, in an inter-
view said:
GAS regards speed, it was found
that one of the two American passen-
ger locomotives made IS miles an
hour for a period of sixty minutes,
whereas the best speed attained by
the French built De Glehn engine was
$50 miles per hour. The German
Hanover engine made 65 miles an
hour. The economy tests also made
ont that as regards boiler efficiency
the Yankee engines were about tif-
teen per cent higher than the Euro
pean. In the matter Of boiler pow
er the best domestic locomotive test
showed over thirty per cent more
power than the leading foreign en-
gine.'
1t is understood that plans are
now under way with view to estab-
fishing the testing plant permanent
ly at the Altoona shops of the Penn
sylvania Railway and continuing the
work begun at st. Louis by making
further investigation of American
and European locomotive perform

FOUND BLOCK OF ICE.
On Farm Near Peru, Ind, Thought to
Have Been Frozen Forty
Years Ago.

Peru, Ind, Feb. 12-While work
men were digging a we'll on William
Savage's farm. near Macy, this coun-
ty, few days ago, they found a
block of ice that proved to be nine
feet in thickness, and with grass and
sticks frozen in the mass. A report
from Macy is that a frog which had
been frozen in the ice came to life
again, when the ice about it had been
melted. The thickness of the ice
found twelve fee below the surface,
has started the neighbors to guessing
at how the ice got there and when it
was frozen. Charles Palmer, an at
torney of Macy, has ventured the
opinion that the ice was frozen that
cold New Years Day, forty years
ago.

Brokville, Ind, Feb. 12.-Because
he buried the body of Mrs. Mary Ann
Hockenberry, without obtaining the
proper burial permit required by the
Indiana law, Fred Durr, an undertak-
er of Harrison, O., was brought back
here and arrested and fined. The
body was then exhumed at Big Ce-

proper certificate, after which the
body was reinterred. This is one of
the many cases of violation of the

MILLIONAIRE PAID FARE.
George Westinghouse Confronted
:. With 10 Pass Rule-Had Been
Long Time Dead Head

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 12.-George
Westinghouse, whose air brakes are
on almost every car on the Pennsyl
vania road, and who pays hundreds
of thousands of dollars each year for
freight to and from his immense
plants, was compelled this morning to
paw Is cents to the conductor of an
accommodation train for a ride from
Pittsburg to his plant in East Pitts
burg.
Mr.. Westinghouse has ridden on
passes for so long that he forgot
what it means to pay railroad fare.
He got on the train at the Union De-
pot, gave the conductor the "high
sign," pointing significantly to his
waistcoat pocket, and resumed the
reading of his paper, but the conduc-
tor said he must pay his fare like
everyone else. Mr.. Westinghouse
blushingly dug down for the change,
which he laughingy handed over.
When Mr.. Westinghouse got back
to Pittsburg, he sent one Of his
clerks around to the Union Depot
with instructions to buy fifty trip
tickets between here and East Pitts
burg, as we'll as stock Of tickets be-
tween here and New York. "It ISM t
so much the money" he explained,

FORTUNATE COMBINATION AT
THE GENNETT FOR LIT
TIE JOHNNY JONES'"
EVERY SEAT WAS OCCUPIED
Play Was Everything That Had Been
Claimed For It-Good Vaude-
vile at Phillips.

"Little Johnny Jones" at the Cen
nett last night proved to be one of
the best musical comedies that has
visited Richmond this winter. And
thing which has not happened ev.
cry time this season, when a meritor-
Gus show has been at the Gennett,
there was a packed house to see it.
Every seat was occupied and more
could have been sold had there been
any.
The enviable reputation that the
play has made this season in the lar
ger cities preceded it here and the
large audience that expected a good
production was not disappointed.
The title role which until a few
months ago was played by George
Cohan, the author, was assumed last
night by John Cantwell, a young ac-
tor who adopted Cohan's method of
acting. 1t was we'll handled. His
"Yankee Doodle Boy dance was
good and was much the same style
dancing that has made Cohan ia
nous.
VIM. Keough, as the "Unknown"
made perhaps the biggest hit with
the audience. The cleverest "talk'
of the show was assigned to him and
he made the most Of his chances. He
is a thorough comedian.
The musical numbers were catchy
and we'll handled by a good chorus.
AS a whole the production can be
called decided success.
