ARBOR DAY IN
 RHODE ISLAND

Newport. R. l., May 1a.-'rhc preparations for the observance of Arbor day are in charge of the Civic League, which, With it's SO cietiCs of public school children, has held delightful exercises and done something practical in the way of planting trees. The morning ses- sions of the schools was given up to the consideration of the meaning of the day, With a fine educational program, which was sent down from Providence. The teachers all called the attention of the pupils to plants and plant life with appro- priate explanations. The schools were dismissed at noon and in the afternoon, under the direction of the Civic League, the children planted trees in the yards of the Coddington, Thayer, Potter and Coggeshall buildings. The tree planted in the Coddington yard re- places one that formerly stood near the steps, but which died. That was an Arbor day tree, too, and was planted thirteen years ago. In the other yards there is no shade and the new trees will fill a long felt want when they shall have grown to a useful height.

RAILROAD PROJECT
 GROWING IN FAVOR

Nashville, May 10.-The Hunts ville and Nashville railroad project is growing in favor. Half the
 amount required from Nashville in
 the form of subscriptions for the
 Nashville and Huntsville railroad
 has been secured by the general committee of the board of trade.
 From the favor shown in the matter
 of subscriptions already secured it
 is considered that there will be no
 trouble in raising the balance. All
 classes of business men have given subscriptions, and all are recom- smending others to subscribe, so that public favor is at work. Subscrip- St1ons ill other quarters are up to Expectations.

BEGINS SEN
 FENCE TODAY


 New York, May 10.-William Murphy, whose conviction on the charge of bribery has been con- tirmed by the supreme court, will enter today upon his sentence of one year in the house of correction. Under the rules governing supreme court proceedings, the papers were not filed for thirty days after the decision was rendered, and until they are filed they do not become effective. It is not likely that rehearing will be granted, and the sentence will, accordingly, take full effect.

tenn in other places. One inquirer
was capitalist who holds the con.
cession for a 400-mile railroad in
South America, much of the route of
which runs through inaccessible coun.
try. The Tunis "mono-rail" is es-
pecial1y adapted for use in a rough
country because of the fact that the
lightness of the cars makes it possible
to operate the trains up almost any
reasonable grade.
To all these inquirers the promo
ters say they have replied that they
are not in the field for the exploita-
ton of the new system, or even for
money making. Mr.. Starin, the leader
in the enterprise, has announced that
much as to put into practical use an
invention which he believes to be the
coming railroad system of the future
No Stock to Be Sold.
His hope to have a railroad which
will carry people from this city to
Newark in almost an inappreciable
space of time, and to give an example
to other railroad companies in the
good treatment of employees. 1t is an,
nounced that no stock of the new com.
pany is to be put on the market, and
that all the money that is wanted to
push the enterprise will be realized by
an issue of bonds at the right time.
Expert System to Be Popular.
That they ultimately expect their
system to be widely introduced the
promoters of the new road do not at
tempt to conceal. This, they expect,
will speedily follow practical demon
stration of it's success.
Howard Hansel Tunis, the young in.
ventor of the system, is at James
town, where he is experimenting the
running of trains over the expert
mental half-mile track. Tunis wanted
a much longer track, but it is said
that the trolley companies of Nor.
folk were too influential with the ex-
position management and he was re-
Stricted.

Complaint of Railroad Service.

The Wisconsin railroad commission
held hearing on the petition of Mich
olas Streveler for an order compelling
the Marathon County Railroad COM
pany to furnish better station facili-
ties and regular train service and re-
duce it's rates on freight. After the
hearing it was announced that prob
ably a satisfactory agreement be-
tween the petitioner and the owner OF
the road, the r. Conner Lumber COM
pany, would be reached on the points
in controversy and that no action by
the commission would be necessary.
The road is IA miles long and ex-
tends from Stratford on the Chicago
e Northwestern road to Halden in
the southwestern part of Marathon
county. The petitioner was represent
ed by himself, Matt Schmidt, Bert
Austin and Attorney Claire Bird, of
Wausau. The company was repre-
sented by r. Conner, State SenatA'
T. w. Brazeau and the superintend-
ent of the road.

points of the OK" The az is flexible,
opening and closing to accommodate
itself to the curves.
It is this overhead truck arrange
ment which constitutes the distinctive
feature of the Invention of the young
Baltimore man. and marks its greatest
difference from the other "mono-raiP'
inventions. The overhead truck ar
rangement, with the four wheels, hori-
zontally set and working on the inside
of the overhead tracks, steadies the
car and gives it it's equilibrium. Pow
er is also transmitted from these over
head wires for the operation of the
cars.
One of the claims made for the
Tunis "mono-rail" is that trains run
ming on it will be practically noiseless.
One reason given for this is that the
guide wheels on top, which run in the
overhead rails, are of cast iron, oak
and leather and are so constructed as
to make but little noise. They also
have ball-bearings and this makes ire
mendous speed possible. The guide
wheels are only eight inches in
diameter and less than two inches
thick Another feature of the car
which contributes to it's noiselessness
is the use of the direct current motor.
Engineer Tunis claims that the only
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1907-07-18

proper system of railroad construc-
ton is the single track, because the
double tracks are in opposition to the
laws of gravity, and make necessary
tremendously heavy cars.
In his cars, Tunis explains, the bot
tom will be but 20 inches above the
rail, and thus the center of gravity
will be very low. The cars will have
an almost perfect equilibrium, even
without being steadied by the over
head arrangement.
Economy in Operation.
Still another claim for the mono-rail
trains is that they can be operated
very much cheaper because of the
economy in power it is possible to
realize. According to railroad men,
from Is to 80 per cent. of the power
used to operate trains is lost in the
sidewise, swinging motion of cars.
THE Tunis mono-rail trains, it is de-
clared, have a straight ahead motion,
without any side-swing.
Nothing which ever moved on
wheels can equal the speed claimed
for the Tunis ''mono-rail' trains. One
hundred miles an hour is an easy mat
ter, and the cars can be pushed to $50
miles without any difficulty. And,
while the cars are going at this speed,
it is claimed that the motion is so
gentle that passengers are barely
aware of the fact that they are NOV
ing. The jerky, swinging motion Of
two-rail trains is declared to be en-
tirely absent.
AS if all this were not enough to
complete the eclipse of the present
system of railroad construction and
establish the 'mono-rail" as pre-em-
inent, still another tremendous adj
vantage is claimed, and this is the
most important of all-the matter Of
cost.
1t is the cheapness of the cost of
the system, which, if it is what is
claimed for it, threatens to revolu-
tionize railroad construction.
Means Immense Saving.
According to the estimates made
for the New York hackers of the
project, a four-track, elevated line,
such as it is proposed to build be-
tween Jersey City and Newark, can
be constructed for $4,000 per mile.

MAN AND HIS WAYS.
Fertile Brain Has Evolved a New
Style of Cradle.

A new cradle has been invented
and by 3 man. Which latter state
ment is dedundancy-fo no up-to-
date woman would really ever think
of inventing anything so pernicicus to
her infants welfare. Has she not be-
come enlightened to the dreadful ills
OF that time-honored institution of
our ancestors? Dare she imperil the
intellect that is to sway the twen-
tieth century by untimely Juggling"
in its embryo stage? Poor modern
babe! When colic's gripes assail, it
may not know the luxury of steady
tramp swung across fathers Shout
der-strange to say, men do not jeer
at this dictum of the new mother
hood-much less will it experience the
bliss of being lulled to rest in q
wooden-slatted cradle or fluffy bassi-
net, swayed by the foot of a won
drous being who swings and croons,
swings and croons, till baby woes are
merged in blessed sleep. It's maker
claims that sideways rocking is, in
deed, injurious to babykins, but to his
eyes, not his brain. Therefore has he
constructed a cradle that swings
lengthwise, and is shaped like boat!

MONO-RAIL SYSTEM
TO REVOLUTlONIZE
RAILROAD TRAVEL
May Relegate Steam Locomotives
and Heavy Coaches to the
Scrap Heap.

New YorkZA young mechanical en-
gineer for little more than three
years, has been mystifying and anus
iny persons living near his fathers
home at Windsor Hill, just outside of
Baltimore, by his experiments with a
single rail railroad that he has con-
structed.
Recently all the newspapers in the
city contained the authoritative an
nouncement that John II. Starin, who
has made millions in transportation
enterprises; Charles Stewart Smith
and Woodbury. Langdon, all members
of the Rapid Transit commission, were
to back a company which will build
this young engineers single rail rail
road from Jersey City to Newark.
Formal announcement of the incor-
p3ration of the new 'mono-road' com
pany is expected soon to be made in
Trenton, and this, it is announced, is
to be followed in the next four or five
weeks by the announcement Of deal
by which the new company has &C
quired a franchise and terminal sites
in the two cities-rights presumably
owned by some existing company. In
side of a year, it is promised, mono
rail trains will be Swimming across
the marshes from Jersey City to New
ark, realizing the newest slogan in
modern rapid transit:
ITO Newark in ten minutes"
Idea is Revolutionary.
If what the young Baltimore en-
gineer confidently claims for his
"mono-road" be true-and he has con-
WINGED such hard-headed business men
as Starin, Langdon and Smith that it
is true-modern railroading will be
revolutionized by his invention. 1t
will relegate to the scrap heap the
two-track railroad, the ponderous, coal
eating locomotive and the big, heavy
eiSht-wheeled cars along with the
stage coach and the paddle-wheeled
steamboat. His new invention, if his
claims are well founded, is as far
ahead of the locomotive-drawn train,
running on two tracks, as the flying
machine is ahead of the balloon.
That trains will run easily at a
speed of $50 miles an hour on a single
rail in perfect safety, without vibra-
tion and the swinging side-wise mo-
ton of the present day railroad trains,
and that tracks and cars can be built
and operated at less than half the cost

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison.-In the face of threat by
the state railroad commission to re-
sign if the act becomes law, the Tur-
ner two-cent passenger fare bill was
passed through both houses of the leg
islature and submitted to Gov. David
son for his signature. While the de-
bate on the bill was in progress mem
bers of the commission made it plain
that they would consider it reflection
on them if the bill should be passed,
as they consider that the commission
was created for the express purpose
of regulating railroad rates. The COM
mission already had ruled that it would
be an injustice to the roads to make
a rate less than 21a cents. After a
short contest the senate sent the bill
to the assembly with an amendment
making it apply to all roads having
gross receipts of $4,000 per mile per
annum instead of $1,000, as it first
in the assembly a spirited debate be-
gan on the merits of the entire ques-
ton. Speaker Ekern left the presid-
ing officers chair to protest against
the passage of the bill. After a long
debate Assemblyman M. ]. Cleary Of
fered an amendment striking from the
bill the provision allowing roads to
collect three cents per mile from pas
Sengers getting on trains without tick
cts. This amendment was adopted by
a vote of 81 to % Then the hill az
amended was concurred in by viva
voce vote. Thereupon the bill was
sent back to the senate for concur
renee in the assembly amendment,
striking out the provision for three
cent fare on trains. There the bill as
amended was concurred in and mes
saged back to the assembly and was
Immediately sent to the enrolling com
mittee.

Creditors Cannot Recover.

Creditors Cannot Recover.
United States Judge A. L. Sanborn
has rendered a decision in the case
of Louis Gilberston, the bankrupt La
Crosse shoe merchant, who was re-
Gently ordered by the court to turn
over $4,069.6S to his creditors. 1t is
regarded by attorneys as a remarka-
BILE ruling. Some time ago the court,
after a careful investigation by the
referee, found that Gilberston had at
the least the sum above mentioned
and ordered him to turn it over to his
creditors. Upon Gilberston failing to
comply with the order he was cited
for contempt. After q hearing to
show cause why the bankrupt should
not be sent to Jail for contempt, the
court holds that while he believes that
Gilberston still has this money, he
does not regard the fact as proved
beyond a reasonable doubt, and he in
compelled with great reluctance TO
decide that evidence is not sufficiently
clear to warrant his punishment for
contempt" Under the ruling Gilber'
ston's creditors, who have been trying
to recover since he went to the wall
year ago, will be able to realize but
little. Gilberston has been in business
for years, and was considered
wealthy up to the time of the failure.
