secret. 1t was evident from his man
ner that the bait of the coal opera
tors was the one which would tempt
him.
In his illiterate style he referred
to the visit of the capitalists and coal
interests representatives, and broadly
limited that he had been offered close
to a million dollars for his invention,
and that he would accept it, and
that with this fortune he would ex-
plolt an invention which he says will
revolutionize the automobile world.
IF any person, cobbler of chemist,
has discovered a method whereby wa
ter may be ASSOCIATED so that oxy-
/ gen and hydrogen, Of which it is
composed, are brought into combina-
ton, with the consequent tremendous
heat, he has made a discovery of
great scientific importa nee.
This was the view taken yesterday
by Frank 5. Dyer, Of the Edison lab
oratories, where the study Of the pro-
duction Of heat Of high potency and
at the least cost has been a subject
of study and experimentation for
years. The expression was drawn
forth by the publication in the World
yesterday in which was related the
remarkable discovery of John Ell
more, who after a quarter century of
effort, has produced a compound
which he has demonstrated reduces
the cost of coal used as fuel from 90
TO 10 per cent. While Mr.. Dyer
could not be said to speak TOR Thos.
A. Edison. who is in Florida, he
represented the scientific end of the
great electrical establishment in such
a degree that he spoke with au-
thority.
Il could not undertake to pass an
opinion on something | have not
seen, said Mr.. Dyer, but f the /
demonstrations as you describe them !
took place, it would appear as if the
inventor has been working in the d.
rection of resolving water into its or
iginal elements and employing coal |
ashes as a vehicle to absorb the
caloric.
Oxygen and hydrogen in their
gaseous form, when brought into
combustion, develope a heat of great
intensity, and it may be that this
ignorant cobbler has succeeded in
bringing about result which has
not been successful after years of
study. 1t may be that the COM
pound he uses brings about this dis
association of the water in the moist
ened ashes and coal, and creates the
gas which gives the fire its greater
force and vitality"
Prof. Parker, of the Department of
Physics, of Columbia University, had
read the dispatch from Altoona with
more than ordinary interest, but he
was not wiliog to subscribe to the
OF the theory of the cob
bier that a chemical agent had been
discovered which would make an in
ert and exhausted material capable Of
being used as one OF utility in re-
combustion. He had not seen the
demonstration himself but he took it
for granted that the claim made by
the Altoona cobbler was not suscepti
bic of practical demonstration.
IL read the article, " he said, "but
from the scientific view there is moth
ing in it. The whole principle, so

IS KILLED BY A TRAIN
Hammond Laborer Struck
on NJ. G. Tracks-Dies
an Hour Later.

A laborer employed on the extra
gang of Michigan Central lahorers. was
killed at O'Clock this afternoon on
the Michigan Central tracks, about 200
feet west OF the state line. He was
crossing the tracks at the time and
failed to see passenger train No ~
approaching. which is due in Hammond
at o'clock.
The man was identified this after
noon at Neidow's morgue, where he
was taken. as \. Miller who has been
employed in the gang near Hammond
for the past two weeks He lived in
the boarding cars 1T the side track and
is unknown in this city.
The body was badly mangled and he
expired in less than an hour after the
accident. The train struck him while
going at fun speed and threw him
about ten feet In the air. 1t Is prob
able that the victim never knew what
struck him. Word was sent to the
hospital to prepare for him there but
he died before he got there.

WOULD HAVE MURDERED
HIS CHILD WIFE

Here the child wife Of the brute re-
lated the story which leads the police
TO believe that a murder was contem-
plated. She stated that they both lived
in Elgin. III. where they were mar
ried but few weeks ago after he had
succeeded in running her character. M
sooner were they married than he at
tempted to rid himself Of her by cruai
and inhuman methods. He attempted to
induce her to lead an evil life and took
her to resort Of III repute in South
Chicago for that purpose. She fatty
refused to accede to his demands and
would not stay in any house in which
he attempted to conhne her.
He then induced her to leave with
him for Rock Island Junction where
they were seen to alight from the train.
They were followed TO saloon on
Ninety-fifth street but they soon emer-
ged from that place and started for the
banks of the canal Here it is sup
posed that he would have knocked her
unconscious by hitting her with a piece
OF Stag and thrown her body into the
water. The police declare that there is
no doubt that these were the mans in
tentions.
Wolk's past history viii be carefully
investigated by the police and they are
expecting interesting results. The man
IS thought TO be a degenerate of the
lowest type. and the fact that he re-
sisted his arrest so desperately shows
that he did not care TO have the police
investigate his history,

ERIE CARS PILE UP

Crown Point, oct. 11.-Three miles
west of Crown Point three coal cars
on the Erie railroad, are piled up in
a big wreck, which though spectacular
did not cause loss Of life or a single
injury AS a result ali Erie trains
were compelled to go over the Pan
Handle into the city, as traffic on the
main line was completely blocked.
Three of the coal cars were ditched
and turned over on their sides.
The accident happened this morning
and soon after the matter was re-
ported at headquarters and the wreck
ing train was sent for. they began to
remove the debris. The heavy coal
cars were difficult to remove and the
big crane had hard work in clearing

TWO BIG GAMES ARE
EAGERLY AWAITED
Hammond Fans Will Turn
Out in Force to Witness
Football Events.
PLAY ENGLEWOOD SUNDAY
In Meantime Home Team is Seized
uled to Play Michigan
City Tomorrow.

Hammond fans are eagerly awaiting
the two big football games which viii
be pulled of in this city on Saturday
and Sunday. Saturday the High school
boys will meet the Michigan City ag
gregatiOn once more on the local field
where they viii try to prove to them
that they were lucky in getting draw
at the game at their home grounds
two weeks ago. They are much strong
er than they were at that game and
will have the additional advantage of
playing on their home grounds backed
by the host of rooters that will assem-
BILE at Harrison park to cheer them on
to victory.
On the following day the Hammond
Athletic association team will do battle
with representatives of the Englewood
Athletic association which team was
defeated last Sunday by the crack ag-
gregatjon known as the Eckersalls. all
of whom are former high school stars
and are under the leadership of the
greatest living player and former Ma
room star. Their defeat by score of
ten to was a credit to them and gives
promise of a game full of interest and
fight when they meet the local boys on
the Harrison park field. The Ham
mond boys have been working hard in
preparation for the contest and If they
should go down to defeat it will not be
a disgraceful one.
No One Dreams of Defeat.
Defeat, however, seems to be the last
thing that the members are thinking
about, and they seem certain of con-
quering their strong opponents. With
their heavy line and fast back field
this year they hope to sweep every
thing before them and land at the top
of the ladder In the struggle for the
championship of their league There
/ is no question but what the citizens
of Hammond will have occasion to bt

of the local warriors when the smoke

DROPS DEAD IN DEPOT

While on his way from Gary to st.
Margaret's hospital. Joe Korsosick. a
Hungarian laborer OF that town
dropped dead in the waiting room OF
the Michigan Central station on Plum
ner avenue. The man evidently had been
suffering for some time and was barely
able to board the train when il pulled
into Gary. he seemed to grow worse as
time went on and when he arrived at
the local station he was almost In an
unconscious condition and had to be as
sisted from the train by the crew. A
physician was sent for but the man
passed away before his arrival. A post
mortem examination will be held to
aotermine the cause of his death It
may have been from some contagious
disease and steps will have to be taken
by the board of health. 1t is not known
whether the man had any family or
re latives in this section.
