RECORD FOR ELECTRIC.
Columbus stanhope Makes Run Of Over
One Hundred Miles.

BOSTON, Oct. 96.-An excellent mileage
record has been accomplished for an cleo
trio automobile by a run of 1915 miles,
made by Charles S. Henshaw with a Co
lulnbus Stanhope. equipped absolutely ac-
cordinE to stock specifications. Starting
from Boston, the little car ran out 10
Gloucester and return, a distance Of i4.7
miles, without any trouble. Roads were
of a give-and-take nature, macadam pre-
dominating. but cobblestones showing their
uneven surface from time to time. and a
few hills relieving the trip of monotony.
On the return to the city the car was in
such good condition that Henshaw decided
to try for the long-distance record. and
for one hour ran on the square formed by
Arlington. Beacon and Boyston streets and
Massachusetts avenue, at an average of
ten miles an hour, until 101h miles were
recorded.
At this stage the batteries showed signs
of exhaustion. and, although it was stlll
possible to run at seven miles an hour,
the test was called off, During the coun-
try run an average OF ten miles an hour
was maintained, as is testified by the
Judges car.

in expatiation of his interesting theory
of literary vampirism:
'.Of course [ had definite characters in
view in writing the Vampire To my
mind there are two types of geniuses;
those who originate and those who con-
centrate. The greatest literary men of
genius, Goethe and Shakespeare, were not
o%riginative, but to quote my own phrase,
focused the dispersed rays of minor lumi-
naries in one splendid fame to light up
the way of the world. President Roose-
welt. in a sense, is such a mind. No crea-
tive thought ever originated under that
forehead. but his dynamic personality
gives force to the cerebrati0ns of Others.
Hubbard is a cheap type of the vampire
mind. He Is less a concentration than a
vulgarizer. The same may, perhaps, be
said of Shaw. I mentioned. / believe. III
my last note that Lionel Johnson refers
to Walter Pater in a letter reprinted in
Wright's biography as at once his adj
miration and his despair, a literary YAM
pire.' A French writer said of Victor
Hugo that he borrows his various styles
In prose, poetry and the drama from his
contemporaries.
THE book was suggested to me by the
fact that. during a season of great IN
timacy with a poet friend of mine who is
now living in the South, | was unable
to write a single verse, whereas ne was
most fertile. Then. ir Il whimsical mood,

Since the day we parted he has not writ

at that time.
but the theory Is much broader in its
application. A mind like that of Rookie
~feller's. too. is that of a vampire. The
idea of vampires is ancient, but my novel
is the first justification on broadly hui
man grounds of those strange and wonder
full absorptive minds who are the mouth

farmer who lived near Readington, on
August 26. 1907. retractc' llnl of not
guilty and pleaded non vult. This was
accepted by Justice Bergen, who sen-
fenced the prisoner TO fifteen years at
hard labor In State prison.
Prosecutor John II. Roger stated that
he mad decided to accept this plea after
n consideration of the evidence in the case.
He said there were no eyewitness to
the shooting and that the only testimony
TO maintain the indictment was that of
two or three witnesses, one of whom was
the mother of the defendant, whose testi-
mony was that Immediately after the
shooting she entered the room and saw
the defendant and her husband engaged
In a struggle on the floor; that the de-

The defendants statement was that
when he entered the room after some pre-
vious trouble with his father about money,
his father knocked him down, got on nina
and choked him until his breath was al
most gone, and that then he did the
shooting.
While the statement of deceased was
somewhat different from that of the de-
PENDANT. the prosecutor said he did rot
hin the State could prove the wilful,
deliberate and premeditated killing neces-
sary to constitute murder in the first de-
gree under the statute.
Former Congressman Alvah A. Clark
counsel for the defense, asked for clemency
He declared there had been differences be
tween the father and son; that the father
was also addicted to drink, and that oil
several occasions had threatened to kill
the defendant; hat the shooting occurred
after a fight and while the defendant was
ON the floor being choked; that the fathers
knife was found on the floor after the
fight, and thas the defendant claimed thai

further stated that the whole family was

placed on the bed where his father had
died that day, and recovered. He Is about
