Edison Cement House Report.

An authoritative investigation of the
much-discuSsed poor mans mansion. as
the poured-cement house, to be completed
in a day at small cost, has been describ-
ed, has now been made by two experts,
whose reports appear in the March num-
Der of the Cement Age. The inventor OF
this magic house plan, Thomas A. Edison.
was put through a rigid examination by
the experts-E. S. Larned. chairman of
the tests committee of the National As
ISOLATION of Cement Users, and Percy II.
Wilson, secretary of the Association of
Portland Cement Manufacturers, both
civil engineers of high standing. Edison
explained to them his method of over
coming the settling of the poured cement
in his complete house molds, which is by
adding colloids (clay) and electrolytes to
the mass of concrete, which give the uni
form flow desired and prevent segrega-
ton of the gravel. Mr.. Larncd is skep-
teal about the effectiveness of these
methods after the cement comes to a
standstill. Edison's mixture is one part
cement to three of sand and five of stone
or gravel, through a half-inch sieve. The
steel re-inforcements will be put in place
when the molds are set up. Larned adj
mits that the forms are entirely feasible,
their total weight being 100000 pounds
and their estimated cost is $4,000. Edi-
son says these can be erected in two
days. Both the investigators doubt hat
the proposed houses can be built in the
time stated by Edison. Mr.. Wilson finds
that Edison has not yet proved that the
added clay will not delay the hardening
of the mass, and cannot be certain that
TIE stone will not flow uniformly.

evidence: gradually he secured confess

that scores of men are under arrest and
the cells of the county Jail are jammed
with men awaiting trial.
Perhaps the most startling of the
confessions and affidavits in possession
details how the whole city of Murray,
I town of about 1000 persons, was
marked for destruction on the night Of
March 26. From this affidavit, made
by a man who was forced on his knees
to take the night riders oath, it ap-
pears that the Galloway County gang
were to have been REINFORCED by $50
armed men from Trigg County, and
that a raid was to have been made
which would have left Murray in
ashes.
On the night before the contemplated
raid, however, the Galloway County
gang held a meeting and decided that

in all directions. The would-be raiders
realized that any attempt to burn Muir

scores of them. Messengers were dis

and it required a great deal of persua.

NIGHT RIDERS FACE JUSTICE.
Scores of kentucky Outlaws in Jail
Awaiting Trial.

The night riders of Kentucky have
passed the seed time; now they are
reaping the harvest. Scores of them
are now face to face with the machin-
cry of the law and can escape only ny
paying heavy fines Or serving long
terms in prison.
Singularly enough, h worst of the
night riding took place in that part Of
Kentucky where there was the least
p~rovocation for it-in the southwestern
counties. The severity of the struggle
for living prices for tobacco fell upon
the farmers of the hurley district, and
in this territory there were night rid
ing and coercion. with some destruction
of tobacco beds and m barn burn

men bent on whipping, burning and

IN FIRE-SWEPT CHELSEA.
Relief Measures on a Great Scale Are
Being Successfully Carried Out.

Being Successfully Carried Out.
System and order have succeeded
chaos in fire-swept Chelsea, Mass. Re
lief committees have now an almost
perfect organization. Nearly 10000
persons are homeless and destitute and
providing shelter and foo for these
is a difficult problem. From all parts
of the State of Massachusetts money,
clothes and provisions have poured
into the stricken city. 1t is esti-
mated that fully 100000 will be sub
scribed for the relief of the sufferers.
Already IL bodies have beer recov-
cred amidst he ruins of the burned
city and it is feared that this number
will be greatly increased as the work
of clearing away the debris goes for
ward. The flames swept over he
doomed city with such rnpidity that
many persons were barely able to es-
cape with their lives. The fleeing resi-
dents could not even save their house
hold effects. Some people removed
their possessions from their homes in
the burning district to another section
of the city to have them burned later
when the flames swept entirely across
the town.
Plans are going rapidly forward to-
ward rebuilding the burned district.
Fortunately the securities Of all the
banks, which were burned, were found
to be safe in the vaults and Chelsea
bankers say they stand ready to pay
dollar for dollar to depositors. The
monetary loss occasioned by the fire
will approximate $%G,OO0,GOO. To off
set this there is an insurance of ST.
100000 and the insurance companies
state they are able to pay all policies
