ALCOHOL VERSUS GASOLINE.
Cost the Only Bar TO the Use of Al
cohol as Motive Power.

WASHINGTON, June 30.--In re-
! ply to inquiries from the United
States, Consul General Robert p
Skinner of Marseilles furnishes the
following information relative tC
the status of alcohol and gasoline
as power producers in France and
the efforts which have been made
toward the general use of the for
mer:
Real and rapid progress has
been made in overcoming past OBJ
jections to the use of alcohol, and
when the price of denatured alco-
hol is somewhat lower than the
price of gasoline, it can be substi-
tuted for the latter, both for auto
MODELLING and general power pur-
poses. Former reports showed that
the high cost of alcohol, excessive
consumption and the resulting oxi-
dation of mechanical parts had not
been counterbalanced by any dis
coverable advantages. How serious
~ these problems have been attack
ed may be judged from the express
sion of an informant-perhaps the
most important French manufac-
turer Of misunderstanding writes
under date Of March %, 1908:
We esteem the question of the
Industrial use of the alcohol motor
as definitely resolved. and the car
bureters created in view Of this uti-
l'zation have given satisfactory re-
suits. The use of alcohol will be-
come more advantageous when an
understanding is brought about be-
tween the producers whereby prices
shall obtain some fixity, and when
the state shall have solved the ques-
tion of the denaturing agent.
If ingenuity has mastered the
material difficulties In the way of
substituting alcohol for gasoline,
commercially the problem is almost
~ insolvable as ever; and II 1t Is
nsolvable in France. where gasoline
s dear and alcohol relatively cheap,
I must be still more so in the Unit
"a States, where gasoline ia cheap
md alcohol dear. Nevertheless,
With raw material available for the
OF alcohol in every
under the sun, and with
cry few gasoline producing CEN
ers. 1t is hardly venturing too
much to assume that ere many years
here will be permanent and gen.
raj use OF alcohol as source of /
motive power"

The Richest Family in Europe.


1t Is not generally known that
the imperial family of Russia is the
richest royal family in Europe, and
derives its vast wealth from three
sources-the state treasury, the i'm
perial domains formerly church
lands) and the so-called cabinet
properties" A writer in the cur
rent Harpers Weekly gives some
interesting facts The state treas
ury provides for the czar as the SOW
ereign; the imperial domains are
the joint property Of the members
of the House of Roumanoff, but adj
ministered by the head Of the
house; and the cabinet properties"
are the personal property OF the
reigning sovereign as such.
The state treasury pays out 81
900, 900 per annum for the needs Ct
the imperial house. principally for
the maintenance of the palaces and
the officials and servants attached
to them. The reigning empress. Tor
example, has an allowance of $780,
900 per year, and the dowager en-
press the same. Every child born

he age of 21 nearly 100000 a year.
while the heir to the throne receives
in addition to the MAIN

PLAY SPRINGFIELD
Waterbury Polo Team Unable to Meet Locals Here on
 Saturday Night.
STARKIE READILY AGREES,
To Assist New Haven Management in: its Effort to Help the Needy
 Poor.

Owing to the Waterbury roller polo teams inability to play Bone's five in this city Saturday evening in the ex- tra game for the benefit of the needy poor of this city, the New Haven man. ager and Secretary Pyne have ar ranged to have Starkie's' Springfield team here.
 Early in the week it was almost un- derstood that McMahon's Rough Rid- CTS would be the opponents of the Boneyards, but. later the Waterbury magnate, not being able to make suit able arrangements was forced to an- nounce to Pyne that the Brass City team would be unable to play in this city that night. The national league secretary had asked Waterbury first as that town is much nearer New Ha- ven than Springfield, and tho travelling expenses are very much less. How ever, as McMahon's five could not make arrangements to come here Pyne wrote to Manager Starkie and the latter readily assented to play fin this city.
 The game will start at S.50 as usual and as previously stated ir this paper will count as championship game, counting in the standing. The re- ceipts of this game, through the gen. erosity of George Bone. and MT. Nc Lay, will be handed over to the mayor for the purpose of being added to the fund being raised for the poor men and women of this city, who are out of employment on account of the | hard times.
 The game with Springfield Saturday night ought to be a fast one. Tho Rovers have one of the strongest teams in the league. but owing to their series of forced moves have been unable to play their best game. This ! team plays one of the cleanest games of any of the teams in the National | league and fights to the finish. The contest ought to draw big crowd for the double reason that Starkie's Row CTS will be the visiting aggregation and because the receipts of the game are going to be given to such a grand cause.
