GOOD FOR AUTOISTS
is THIS NEW PUMP JUST
INVENTED.
Will Do Automatically All the lacking
Up and Air Injecting That Causes So
Much Profanity Among Drivers.

No more will the automobilist find It nee
essary to make the air blue with eloquent
and f~orceful language when he finds q
tire on his machine rapidly going down
when on a road ten miles from nowhere.
Past is the time when the machine will
have to be lacked up and the air pumped
in the empty tube by the vigorous appli-
cation of elbow grease and a hand pump,
for there is a patent pump Just put on the
market that Is operated by the motive
power of the car itself and will in eight
minutes, according to the inventor, do all
that is needed in a few minutes.
The pumn weighs only five pounds, the
casing is of steel and the mechanism Of
pure brass. practically ndestructible. 1t Is
the invention of Henry c. Taylor, a mas
ter machinist of Harrison.
The pump is about two feet long and
consists OF a cylinder pump and a box
containing a number of cog wheels run
by friction caused by the whirring OF the
motor of the car. All that is necessary is
to insert the motor crank in the tube in
front Of all. The machine starts the motor
and does all the rest.
The pump may be clamped and removed
when the work is done. Patent has been
applied for by the inventor. 1t is to be
put on the market by a corporation named
the Taylor Pump Company.
Many successful tests of the pump have
been made. and It was found that the pump
attached to a lathe could blow up a leather
tire in one minute.

EXODUS OF TRAMPs.
"Hobo" Problem Bothers Railroads as
"Beats" Leave New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. pa noticeable
effect of the approach of cold weather
is the exodus of tramps. The park
benches are being deserted and the
railroads will soon be obliged to deal
with the hobo problem.
The roads running out of New York
have seconded the decision of the re-
cent conference of railway boards at
Minneapolis that the tramp evil is the
most serious in railroad operation to-
day, and they have referred the mat
ter to their respective chiefs OF police.
These chiefs viii, therefore, meet in
this city in a few days to discuss ways
and means of meeting the situation.
The New York Central has made a
beginning of dealing with the tramp
pest by s|tationing a hundred young
men of tried strength and courage on
its main line between here and Albany
to keep tramps from boarding trains
and committing depredations. The
youths are sworn as special officers
and were empowered to arraign their
prisoners as Migrants.
The Central estimates that it loses
yearly in freight stolen or de-
stroyed by tramps in its Eleventh ave-
rue yards.

HULSE CASE DELAY
ALLEGED EMBEZZLER
IN TWO WEEKS.
His Counsel Declares Client Never Stole
Peddie Institute Funds-Lays Trou-
BILE to Careless Bookkeeping.

On a motion of Lawyer Michael T.
Barrett. the examination Of Samuel v.
Hulse, former treasurer of the Peddie
Institute of Heightstown. who is
charged with embezzling $4,000 of the
institutions money, vas postponed for
two weeks In his motion Mr.. Barrett,
who appeared for the accused, said that
the delay in the examination was asked
so that the experts could complete their
work on the accounts of the institute.
The postponement was agreeable to
John Monteith, counsel for the Peddie
Institute.
After a month or more of work on
Hulse's books the experts believe that
the accused treasurer was a victim of
his own careless bookkeeping. Hulse,
Lawyer Barrett said today, was an
honest man, and in 40 way appropri-
ated the institutes money to his own
use. From what the experts found in
their examination of Hulse's business
methods, Lawyer Barrett says that
there can be little question of his
honesty.
They learned that he was in the
habit of paying the interest on mort
Cages without collecting the interest
from the people who owed it. In this
way the funds Of the institution were
muddled up, though Hulse did not reap
any benefit.
In one case the experts found a pay
ment of 1850 interest on a mortgage
which he paid out of the institutes
funds and never collected the interest
from the one who held the mortgage.
In another ease it vas found that
Hulse had paid $3.50 taxes on a piece
of property. Instead of making the
people who held the mortgage pay the
sum on the property Hulse took the
money from the institute and paid the
taxes.
Hulse is about down and out. Never
a man who earned large sums in his
business, his wife at times found it
to take in boarders. Hulse,
his counsel claims. never gave her
more than SIS q week.
