.DENATURED ALCOHOL
Claimed to Be Far Superior to
Oleo Products.
NAY BE SOLD FOR ONLY s4 A TON

Advocates Of New Product Expect Il
Will RevclutiOnize Heating, Light
ing and Power Generation-TO Ben
eAt Farmers and Cheaper Several
Naturalization to AutOmObilists.
The denatured alcohol bill recently
passed by congress and sent to the
president for his signature Is more far
reaching in its effect than the public:
generally imagine.
Denatured alcohol Is alcohol mixed
with a sufficient quantity Of methyl
or wood alcohol or other materials or
mixtures to destroy its use as bev-
erage or basis for drinks or medicinal
purposes, says a Washington special
dispatch to the New York World. It
can be made from any grain, the ref
use of sugar beet factories. potatoes.
fruits, cane and cassava. Grain alco-
hol now pays an internal revenue tax
Of $2.07 a gallon. Denatured alcohol
will pay no tax. Its advocates expect
that it can be manufactured and sold
as low as 81 a ton. One bushel OF
corn, costing not more than 40 cents.
will make five gallons Of alcohol. Illu-
minating oil costs from IA to 16 cents
gallon, and denatured alcohol can
be manufactured to sell at from tn
10 cents a gallon.
The first bill for denatured alcohol
was introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Murdoch of Kansas, who
was elected on platform of red
headed men are needed in congress"
The advocates of denatured alcohol
expect that it will revolutiOnize heat
ing, lighting and power generation.
They expect it will give the farmers II
new and better market for grains,
sugar beets, cane and other products
from which alcohol can be made They
also expected it to
Supplant gasoline and naphtha In
generating power for automobiles,
launches and small engines.
Supplant kerosene as an illuminant,
because it does not vitiate the air, and
there is less danger Of explosions.
Cheaper naphtha, gasoline and illu-
minating oils.
Cheaper paints, varnishes and per-
fumery.
Increase the manufacture and sale OF
alcohol lamps and chatting dishes.
Cheaper the cost of alcohol used In
the arts.
Experts say that denatured alcohol
will either force the Standard Oil mo-
nopoly to reduce the price Of gasoline or
will displace gasoline altogether.
Alcohol is a much cleaner fuel and
is very much less dangerous. Gasoline
mixed with a certain amount of air
forms a low gas which is highly ex-
plosive. Denatured alcohol will burn,
but it will not explode except under
compression. Over 500 gallons may be
made from an acre of potatoes. 1t
may be denatured by the application
Of any one of half dozen cheap chem.
ical elements.
There has been a great deal Of COM
plant among yachtsmen and autOmo-
bilists over the exactiOns of the Stand
ard, which has increased the price Of
gasoline steadily until the retailer has
to pay 221h cents for the best quality.
The stuff that sells at retail for ID and
IA cents a gallon is almost useless for
automobiles and motor boats. The
slight alteration, can use alcohol as
fuel. A gallon Of alcohol will supply
more horsepower than gallon Of gas

BELIEVE MUENTER DEAD.
Chicago Friends Think Him limo
cent and a Suicide.

Chicago. April S0-That Erich K. Nruenter
brooding over the charge that he murdered his
wife in Cambridge Mass, and depressed TO the
verge OF melancholia by grief for her death, has
committed suicide is the belief of those who
knew him best while he lived in Chicago
Il am convinced now that Muenter did not
kill his wife" said Professor J. NJ. Grove, Of the
University of Chicago. yesterday Afuenter
lived with Professor Grove while he was an
instructor at the university. 'I believe, however
that he has committed suicide" continued the
professor. knowing his temperament as well
as do, I do not believe he withstood the shock
of his wife's death and the blow which followed
in charges that he murdered her. He was of
a morose disposition at best, and such misfor-
tune as has overtaken him would be calculated
to drive him to desperation. The fact that he
left his children with his sisters would seem TO
me to strengthen the theory that he contem-
plated committing suicide when he left the home
of his relatives"
Reports that Eugene F. Krembs brother OF
Mrs. Leona Muenter, had sent telegram to the
police Of Cambridge saying that he had enough
evidence to convict Muenter of numbering her,
were denied day by Krembs and by his
father. Mrs. Muenter's father said ne believed
that Muenter guilty, but that he had no
evidence He said that his belief was founded
on Muenter's failure TO give himself up 20 the
