THOMAS A. EDISON ON
CEMENT HOUSE SCHEME,
Writes Open Letter, Stating That He
Hopes to Build Sample House
This Winter.

Thomas A.. Edison, of West Orange, TO-
day issued an open letter regarding his In
vention for making a cement house for
81, 600, and makes the claim that he has
not entered into the plan with the idea OF
making money out of it. Mr.. Edison states
II am in receipt of many letters re-
garding newspaper articles, describing Il
cement house which / am about to erect.
The writer's of most of the letters have
misrend the articles and ! take this occa-
sion TO explain just what | propose to DO.
II now have a model, one-fonrth the size
of the house, designed by the New York
architects.
This winter n shall construct the iron
moulds and devise machinery, whereby a
full-sized house can be cast in twelve
hours, after the moulds are in position. AT
the end of six days the iron moulds are
removed and the house will be complete
ETC., and after drying six days will prob
ebly be ready for occupancy.
ITO build this house for $1,000 II Is es
sential that it be erected on sandy soils, as
the material excavated for the cellar Is al
that is required to build the house, except
of course, the cement.
THE cost of the iron moulds will bt
about $2b 900, the cost of the other ma.
chinery bou SIS, 900. From this outfit ar
unlimited number of houses can be erected
formed who will have several moulds, each
of a different design, and will go actively
into business.
Il have not gone into this with the idea
OF making money from it, and will be
glad to licens reputable parties to make
ments on account of patents, the only re-
striction being that the designs of the
houses be satisfactory to me and that they
shall use good material"

collector of West Orange.
Previous to the Belleville meeting Mr..
Katzenbach and his party were enter
tanned at dinner in the Orange Club by
Laurence T.. Fell, of Orange.
While Mr.. Katzenbach was IN Orange
in the afternoon he met the Rev. DR..
Charles Townsend, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, who said to the cam
didate:
by the way. this voting machine issue
seems TO be taking with the people, doesn't
1t? And it ought to. At the last election
| voted with a machine and found after
ward that I had voted for a set Of men
for whom l did not intend to cast my bal
lot. 1 wal confused over the machines
mechanism, and | think that lots Of in
telligent American people have had the
experience | have had"
1t was an old-fashioned Democratic
greeting that Mr.. Katzenbach received In
Bclleville. He was met at the Newark
city line in Washington avenue by a crowd
of about 400. The Onion Club. a social or
SANITATION, had the right Of line in the
parade that formed.
The club was headed by James K. Nc
Carthy and ten mounted men. There was
plenty Of red fire in the line, and a bands
Of music helped to stir things up along
the line of march, which was along WASH
ington avenue to William street, and thence
to st. Peters Parochial Hall. The hall
was comfortably filed by more than 500
people when President Of the Belevtle
Board Of Education Oliver II. Perry, who
presided. introduced the candidate for-Govs
ernor.
Mr.. Katzenbach spoke along his usual
lines and was cheered.
DR.. Charles +. Kraemer, candidate for
county clerk, spoke mainly of he alleged
m-ismanagement and corruption of the Re-
publican party, with regard especially to
State officers. He referred to the office to
which he is aspiring and said it was a
matter of record among lawyers that the
office has been allowed to become clogged
with business to such an extent that rec
ords remain unified and there is little
system.
Martin p. Devlin, OF Trenton, in a lengthy
speech, reviewed the record of the Repub-
lican administration within the last twelve
years. He ridiculed the statement of john
Franklin Fort that the campaign was be-
ing conducted on moral Issues and pointed
to the fact that Mr.. Fort had chosen for
his chief advisers. David Baird, Daniel
Vorhies and Samuel Dickinson, whom he
denounced in no gentle terms.
James e. MARITIME and Harry F. Baekus.
who were scheduled to speak, did not
appear.
The party then went to Orange and after
that meeting wound up the night at the
open-air meeting in this city.
