GAS ELECTRIC CAR
NEW VEHICLE GOES MILE
A MINUTE.
Delaware and Hudson Officials Highly
Pleased with Performance of
Engine Substitute.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, jan. 17.-An
official test made in the presence of a
party of officials from the Delaware and
Hudson Company, and the American
Locomotive Company, of the new gas cleo
tric car promises to revolutionize railroad
ing OH short lines.
The car was especially designed and con-
structed by the General Electric Com
pany for steam railroad work for the
Delaware and Hudson Company. After
the test the Delaware and Hudson officials
expressed themselves as highly pleased
with the new engine, which also proved
more satisfactory to the designers and
builders. II will be used by the Delaware
branch roads.
This new type Of gas electric car takes
the place OF steam engines and trains on
short line work. 1t combines in one the
power house, transmission lines, sub-sta-
tons and all the benefits of electric trac-
ton without the costly and cumbersome
features of the trolley.
A powerful gas engine, the most power
full of its kind ever built, drives an electric
generator. The current obtained in this
way supplies power to the motors which
drive the car. The gas engine, when con-
sumes gasoline, runs very smoothly, and
the electrical equipment assures perfect
control of speed and as comfortable riding
as is enjoyed in the modern interurban
electric.
The car represents the highest degree in
railroad engineering practise. 1t combines
the maximum of power and safety with the
minimum weight. 1t is Of the combina-
ton type and comprises one ordinary pas
senger compartment, a smoking-room, a
baggage-room, an engine-room, and obser-
walton compartment and a toilet-room.
The total weight of the car is 81 tons. Its
entire length is 80 feet; height over all, II
feet 8 inches, width over all, 5 feet s
inches.
This shape of the ends of the car is para
bolic in order to reduce the air resistance
to a minimum when travelling at high
speed.

follows;
David H. Merritt, president of the
National Newark Banking Company;

STRAINED
Toxic Declares 1t Will
Stop Railroad if Pekin
Attempts Work.

TOXIC, Jan 17.-The diplomatic rela-
tons between Japan and China over the
proposed Sinmlntun-Aukumen Railroad
have reached a stage wherein Japan has
assumed a most firm attitude and has
assured China that a railroad paralleling
the South Manchurian shall not be built
because it violates both the spirit and the
letter of the Pekin treaty. A British syn
dictate has proposed to build the railroad.
Japan asserts that under no circum-
stances will Japan permit construction to
commence. In reply to the question::
What will you do about it?' a member of
the cabinet replied: I'VE will stop it."
