From the Atlanta Journal
 Out at the Withers Foundry and Ma chine works on Windsor street, J. T. An- drew, an old railroad man whose home is at Montgomery. Ala. has just had constructed his first working model of a patented attachment for railroad cars which every railroad expert who has seen 1t declares will prevent wrecks from any cause resultin5 in derailment of cars.
 In the next few weeks the inventor will have regulation box car built upon his patented trucks, and then if he is able to secure Q track in the neighbor- hood. q public demonstration will be held to show how his attachment will prevent wreeits arising from defective parts of cars, or defective stretches of tracks, and which usually result In the derailment of q train.
 Mr. Andrew is an old railroad man. whe saw twenty-one years of service on the Plant system and in the shops of the Western of Alabama, For the past thsse years he has been working on his inveation last year securing taa patents, and fer three months he has been super- intending the construction of hls first working model,

spread track usually occurs on a right or left angle curve and wheel which has it's bearings upon the upper rail of curve. usually follows the spread place in the track. which allows the inner wheel on lower side of the track to drop in toward the crossties. In such a case as this, the outer quarter wheel for the protection of this wheel in trou- ble-woud take the place of the regu- lar wheel lifting it and blowing it back upon the track afttr the spread place is passed and allowing any number of cars to pass the spread place in the track. yet not permitting a single wheel to hit crosstie.
 In case of a split switch, the quarter wheels would convey the train safely over the trouble at the same time applying the air brakes and stopping the train automatically. In going into a split switch when the truck strikes the point of the curve leading to the side track, one regular car wheel is on the main track, while the other takes the side rail. Now when the regular car wheel drops between the side track rail and the main lins rail- Mir Andrew claims that the main line rail will be caught by the in- ner quarter wheel and outer quarter wheel, on other main line of track, the quarter wheel will lift the regular car wheels above the cross-over rails and through the frogs, and the truck is kept on the main line, at the same time the air brake being automatically applied and the train brought to a standstill.
 MT. Andrew estimates that the cost of fitting his attachment to engines will be a put $4OO, about s250 for fitting to pas senger coaches, and about S100 for fitting to freight cars. When it Is seen that freight cars usually cost from $500 to S100O passenger coaches from $500 to Sl0,O00 and engines all the way from s15,000 to s30, 000 the cost of this attachment will add little to the cost of the cars, but if 1t does what he claims for it and what experts who have seen it are con- fldent 1t will do, Mir. Andrews fortune is made and the railroads of the country will annually be saved millions of dollars and the loss of hundreds of lives will be prevented every year.

MT. Andrews patent is an attachment which is fitted to the trucks of the freight car, the passenger coach, or to the engine, and his model is now prac- tically complete Nothing now remains but to put the trucks under a regula- ton box car and secure a track in or near Atlanta, when the inventor will demonstrate how his patent will save millions of dollars every year to the railroads of this country
 The reading public is aware of the enormous loss of life and property re sulting in this country from railroad wrec1s but when it is known that from 50 to 75 per cent of all the wrecks are derailments. the value of MT. Andrews invention if it does what he claims for it. cannot be computed.
 Mr. Andrews attachment consists Of a heavy steel case encompassing the axle entirely. Suspended to a heavy frame on the inside of the wheels, are quarter wheels, operative on journals with ec- centric power pentr mewptn tcameWtn centric proportions. In it's periphery a cable cord is attached to the quarter wheel running over roller at each end of the truck thence being carried to the air valve of the car. The quarter wheels are carried three inches above the rail and are held in normal posi- ton by coil springs to the front and rear
 Wrecks resulting in a derailment are generally due to one of seven causes: l. From broken axle; ?, from broken jour nal; 3, from loose wheel; 1, broken f1ange; B. spread track; 6. irregular track and r. a split switch, and MT. Andrew claims that his invention will prevent wreck from any of these causes.
 If the axle of truck should break, there would be no wreck where his at tachment was used. as the axle being in a case the casing and the journal bear ings would keep the wheel in alignment. If the journal should break, the inner Journal boxing of the inner wheels, frame bracing, etc, would take the place Of the regular car journal.
 If the wheel of truck should expand to the point of forcing fianges to mount the rails, should contract or wobble enough in ordinary cases to cause de- railment, with MT. Andrews attachment the truck would be taken care of by the one inner and outer quarter of the pair of wheels in trouble, putting the loose wheel out of commission Operative by the friction of the tracl. and the momentum of the train. the quarter wheel when coming in contact with the rail lifts the regular wheel of the car and all parts of the truck above the cross rails, frogs and switches, the cable cord pulls open the air valve. and the air brakes are applied automatically to the remotest part of the train. In the same manner it operates in the case of a broken fan,e, or in the event of an irregular track.

The football game Saturday morn

game, and the battle on Saturday
should be a strenuous one from start

The teams will line up the same as
they did in the last game, and with
good officials the game should be in

who will ofiiciate as yet, but it will
probably not be the ones that have
acted in the other games between the
two teams. Sam Johnson stated the
other day that he would not take part
In any more games as an official, and

was asked.
The game will start at 10 O'Clock

LEASE EXPIRING
ACTING GOVERNOR MOTT-SMITH
GOING TO LOOK INTO LAUPA-

Acting Governor Mott-Smith will
leave next Tuesday for Laupahoehoe
for the purpose of looking into the
matter of the disposition of about 5000
acres OF cane land owned by the gov
eminent, the lease on which will ex-

The land in question has valuable

and being especially fine land. It has
been held under the present lease
since 1890. There is a proposition to
cut at least some of this land I'D for

which will be considered later, after
conditions are well in hand by the Ex-

two, who to eternity are to be cher
ished as my guides to the Master.
AS to call to the ministry and edu-
cational preparation therefor only a
word need be said. The commanding
personalities of my father and mother
were the medium of the divine call.
This phrase is used not cantingly-for
cant is Of the devil-but advisedly.
After twenty-five years of very varied
experience since ordination, it has
gradually become clear as sunlight
that there was no place in the universe
plan for me other than the Christian
ministry. But there was never a trum-
pet in my soul, such as Paul heard
in his, blaring Woe is me if l preach
not the gospel The Almighty has
various ways of making the eternal
fitness of things apparent to His chill
dren. The evident, though never ex-
pressed, desire of my parents was the
surface flow influencing my decision
to become a minister, and the subcon-
seriousness that l was cut out therefor
formed the irresistible undercurrent.
Later on, however, l was as signalIy
summoned to missionary service as
ever any man was to preach and it is
only as missionary and because of
the missionary opportunity of this
church that l am its pastor.
Turning now to statement of faith
it is only fair to preface that the scien-
tific bent of mind trained by the study
of medicine has been of the greatest
moment in determining my approach
to all questions of theology and has
enabled me to keep step with the
progress of Biblical investigation with
out the soul-wrenching experience or
the catastrophe to faith that many
Christians who have had to fight their
way from the old to the new have been
compelled to endure. Henry Drum
mond's epoch making work, Natural
Law in the Spiritual World" fell into
my hands while studying medicine side
by side with theology. 1t was a rev.
elation whose spell was strong upon
me and since the time Of its perusaI
1t has been impossible for me to recog-
nize any conflict whatsoever between
religion and science.
Fundamental in All my thinking and
experience stands the one Absolute,
Eternal, Personal God-Personal be-
cause He is almighty Will, inscrutable
Wisdom and transcendent Love, who
has revealed Himself to me as the one
sure fact without and within myself,
to match the equally sure fact of my
self. Some Christians speak of faith
as though 1t were the conviction OF
things that cannot be known. The
writer of Hebrews called it a testing

In the matter of transportation OF
the material for concrete on the Pearl
Harbor works there is something of a
hitch, for the Oahu Railway & Land
Company and the United States Gov
eminent have not been able thus far
to come to satisfactory arrangements
in this regard, the government desir-
ing transportation for the material at
a rate lower than it appears the rail-
way is willing to quote
For this reason, and the alternative
is now being seriously considered, the
Engineers Department may take the
matter of transportation in its own
hands and convey the material for the
concrete to Pearl Harbor by means OF
barges. To tow the barges a tug-boat
will be required and the Federal au-
thorities are now casting about for a
serviceable tow-boat for the purpose.

A NEW SCHOOL
IS BADLY NEEDED
SUPERINTENDENT w. H. BABBITT
FINDS BAD OVERCROWDING AT
WAIANAE SCHOOL

Superintendent Babbitt, of the De-
partment of Public Instruction, spent
yesterday at Waianae looking into the
matter of new school house to be
built there. A new piece of land was
selected which will be more advanta-
geOus for the school than the present
property which will be exchanged
with the Waianae Plantation Com
pany for the new site. This will con-
sist of three acres of land, and the
company has agreed to pillow the new
SrOund and remove the old building.
The plans for the new building and
the location have been decided upon,
and it will be but a short time until
actual work will be begun.
That the new school is much need
ed is evi1ced by the statement of Su-
perintendent Babbitt this morning,
that in one room of the school he yes
terday found 81 pupils, the largest part
OF which were seated three in a seat.
Five or six of these he found to be
under six years of age, and he recon-
mended that they be sent home

A NOTABLE ADDRESS
IMPRESSIVE EXPOSITION OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES
OF THE NEW PASTOR OF CEN TRIAL YEsTER
DAY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. GREETINGS FROM ALL DENoML
ALL RACES RE PRESENTED HERE

With the ordination prayer Offered
by the same minister who over twenty
years ago performed a similar func-
ton at his installation in Kobe, ia
pan, the Rev. d. Doremus Scudder was
formally installed yesterday evening
as pastor of Central Union church.
The address was regarded by all who
heard it as a very notable and pro-
found exposition of modern Christian
ity, and it created a very deep i'm
preston.
DR.. Scudder spoke as follows:
The outline of my personal religious
story is very simple. Born into
Christian home with a heredity of
many Christian generations behind
there has never been any experience
Of conversion to correspond with the
type which has figured so largely in all
revivals and which found its great
Christian prototype in the New Tesla
ment account of the Apostle Paul At
twelve years of age the sight OF
the solemn communion service raised

period of life, my heart was moved to
respond directly, and conscious expe-
rtence of communion with God be-
gan, to continue with ever increasing
power from that day to this
The Intervening years have brought
their quota Of testings, such as God

every one in the school of earth-life.
TWO absolute realities that could not
be gainsaid have held true and proved
anchors which no gale could lift or
drag. These were, first, the testimony
of the Christian life of my father and
mother. The widest storms of temp

sport of me but could effect no change
In the rock of conviction that the
teaching Of Jesus must be true because
they lived it, Under God, therefore
owe my spiritual life to my parents.
The second and constantly enlarging
reality which has come to take the
sole predominant place in my life is
personal experience of God. The
Samarftans who were led to Jesus by
the woman, said to her subsequently.
Now we believe, not because of thy
speaking; for We have heard for our
selves, and know that this is indeed

Los ANGELES HAS
SET AN EXAMPLE
c. d. WILLARD SHOWS HOW CITY
OF ANGELS ovERCAME GREAT
DIFFICULTIES.

A very interesting account of the
twenty years fight between the citi.
zens of Los Angeles and the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company was given
yesterday afternoon by c. d. Willard
before the Chamber of Commerce. The
main theme of Mr.. Wizards address
was the advantages which would fol-
low when the harbUr OF San Pedro
was thrown open to the commerce OF
the world, and what it would do for
Honolulu.
He spoke of the fight between the
late Coils p. Huntington and the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce in
which the Chamber won out finally.
Within eighteen months the railroad
and the ships would meet in friendly
competition in the harbor of San Ped
70, he said The benefit that Hawaii
will derive from the opening of this
harbOr will be the additional steam
ers which will call here. and the tour
list possibilities
Mr.. Willard stated that between
forty and fifty thousand tourists came
annually to Los Angeles. and that
they spent between five and ten mil
lion dollars. Hawaii would probably
have more tourists every year from
Southern California than she would
have from San Francisco. The tour
lists are the forerunners Of settlers,
and in time Hawaii would be bound to
benefit from them. In conclusion Mr..
Willard hoped that the opening Of San
Pedro harbor would bring Los Ange-
les and Honolulu closer socially as
well as commercially.
Besides the address by Mr.. Willard
the only business that was done was
the election of three new trustees
bringing the total up to fifteen instead
of twelve. L, Tenney Peck, F. J. Low
reg and w. NJ GifFard were elected
trustees After the vote had been
counted it was found that Giffard and
Gait tied, but Gait retired in favor of
Giftard
