A MOTOR
SWIMMING DEVICE
Frenchman Constructs Ma
chine He Thinks Will
Aid in Saving of Lives

NEW YORK, Sept. IA cable dis
patch TO a morning paper from Paris
says:
The French inventor who devised the
motor boots has now conceived an
adaptation Of the petrol motor for sup
plying the human body with mechan-
lcal power for propulsion in the water
Every man may thus become his own
motorboat.
In order to use the device a person
need not be q swimmer, for in addition
to its propulsive powers, the appar-
atus is devised to keep the body afoat.
A water-tight box, containing a little
petrol engine and fuel supply, is
strapped to the users back. Other
parts Of the apparatus comprise a sad
die like ram. on which the user sits;
air bags to give the necessary buoy
ancy and propeller which is operated
by the engine. Two rods give control
of the speed. while the steering is ac-
complished by altering the position of
the hands.
The inventor thinks that the chief
use of the apparatus will be in life
saving.

Beer Is a
temperance Drink
Statistics VIII Show That It's Increasing
Sales Bring a Corresponding
Decrease IN Drunkenness.

To show the effect of beer drinking
op the health, DR.. p. Bauer Of Berlin,
a distinguished German scientist and
professor, makes report on the health
Of the seventy-fiYe employees OF Ger
man brewery. This report is of espe-
cial interest Just at this time because
Of the increasing popularity of beer in
the United States, as shown by the re-
cent report Of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue that during the past
year the people of the United States
than during any other year in the his
tory of the nation. and there is less in
temperance than ever before.
In speaking of the results of his in
vestigation, DR.. Bauer says:
-'Of the seventy FIVE employees, each
OF whom drinks over a gallon of beer
daily. ifty-six have stood the rigid
physical examination for enrolment in
the German army and are soldiers Of
the remaining eighteen, eleven are
minors, three were found too small in
stature and four were rejected for de-
fects suffered by accident"
Leading physicians have said there
is no doubt whatever Of the healthful-
ness Of good beer, and most of them
ley malt, the soul of beer, gives il GER
tain food value, and the small percent
age Of alcohol, only 31z per cent in
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, is an aid to
digestion.
In the brewing OF beer, the richer
the malt the more wholesome the beer
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is brewed only
from Pabst exclusive eight-day maxi
choicest imported hops and pure water
Pabst exclusive eight-day malt is
grown from finest selected barley and
grown slowly, without any rushed de-
velopment. so that the malt retains all
the food elements of the grain in pre-
digeSted form. This is what makes
Patst Beer the superior of all beers in
food strength. II is always absolutely
pure and clean, the most refreshing
and nourishing beverage. the best beer
for the home.

Settlement Of Losses
Brings Out Long
Waiting Line.

The sum of 100000 was paid out
yesterday by the Fireman's Fund In
surance Company TO policy holders on
the basis of 20 per cent. OF the face OF
claims for losses by fire. More than
700 claimants visited the companys Of
fcers. at California and Sansome streets
during the day. OF this number $50
signed the agreement TO settle on the
terms proposed by the company, so
per cent in cash and so per cent in
stock of the corporation, par value OF
500 a share, to be taken at a valua-
ton of $500 share.
The speed with which payments can
be made was manifested yesterday. The
policy-holders at times formed a line
that extended from Montgomery street
70 the corner Of Sansome and Califor-
MIA streets. They passed into the city
office of the Fireman's Fund Com
psny 10 the baeement, received drafts
for the 20 per cent Of the amounts
due TO them in as great number as
could be attended to by the office
force, and then cashed in at the cash
ier's desk All day long there was a
cheerful Jingle Of gold coin. Those
who could not be reached up to the
closing time by the officials received
numbered cards which entitle them to
payment Immediately on presentation.
Within a fortnight the Fireman's
Fund Company will have paid out s2,-
100000 as the 20 per cent share Of the
losses. Thirty per cent in cash Will
follow II the company is permitted to
continue ip business.
Policy Folders are informed by Fire
mans Fund officials that 1t is abso-
iutely necessary that the company shall
know by Saturday Of this week
whether a sufficient number of claim
ants approve the plan OF the proposed
settlement TO make II a success. II the
plan is not sufficiently approved then
the alternative is that the company
Wa be forced into insolvency.
The papers TO place the company
in the hands of a court have already
been drawn but service has been with
held to give the company time to ee-
feet a settlement
President Dutton announces that a
further payment by the company is
contingent upon the agreement by the
policy-hQlders to the plan proposed and
that more cash can be easily secured
by the policy holders directly from the
company than could be procured after
long delay and great expense IL the
company would be thrown into the
hands of g receiver.

DENVER DELEGATES oUsrED.
Machine Men unseated for the Patter-
son-TeIlcp Followers

son-TefIGH Followers.
DENVER, Sept. 12.-The first matter
to come up in the Democratic State
Convention today was the majority re-
port of the committee on credentials
upon seating the delegation from Den
yer County. headed by Mayor Robert
w. Spear and composed of supporters
Of the city administration. The report
recommended the admission of the
contesting delegation chosen by sup
porters of United States Senators Pat
terson and Teller and other Democrats
opposed to corporation domination. The
Patterson delegation was finally seated.
The afternoons session was devoted
to arguments on the Denver contest.
The debate was engaged in by five of
the most noted speakers in the State
and was the greatest public discussion
ever held in Colorado. Those who
participated in the argument were ex-
Governor Charles S. Thomas and
Charles j. Hughes for the Speer dele
cation and United States Senators Tel
Ter and Patterson and Thomas j.
o'Donnell for the Patterson delegation
The main contention of the Speer
speakers was that their delegation was
regular and that no delegation test
had been instituted. The Patterson
orators recited Democratic political
history for the past several years to
show that the delegation whose rights
to sit in the convention they were con-
testing was made up of City Hall en-
ployes principally and was. the creature
of the so-called Spear machine. which
In itself was delegated to service to
the local utility corporations.
AT $3.50 O'Clock this evening a vote
was taken on the motion to adopt the
minority report favoring the seating
of the Speer delegation. This was
lost by a vote of 561 to 161. A motion
to adopt the majority report of the ere
dentials committee. which seats the
Patterson delegation. was adopted

following statement concerning the re-
suit of the Maine election:
II look upon the result of the cleo
ton in the second district of Maine as
a great moral victory not only for la
Dor, but for the people generally. OF
course it would have pleased me more
had Mr.. Littleheld been defeated. Con-
sidering the fact that Maine is regard
ed as a rock-bound Republican strong
hold, the cutting Of Mr.. Littlefeld's
majority OF 5632 over his opponent in
1904 to between roo and 500 now is
cause for great qualification"
