IT'S WORTH A MILLION
To Any One Who Can Invent q Successful
Automatic Train Stop.

WASHINGTON. July 2o.-@It is worth a
million dollars to any one who can devise
an automatic train stop that can be in
stalled within reasonable limit Of oost
and will be reliable says Secretary W. P.
Borland Of the block signal and train control
board of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The board has been holding
series Of meetings here, going over the
plans OF many inventors. As a result it
has been determined to give test to the
Rowell-Potter system on the Chicago. Bur-
lngton and Quincy Railroad near Aurora.
Ill. The inventors Of this device assert
that in the event OF the failure Of an engi-
neer to see a red light the train will be
automa tica lily stopped. The test will stretch
over period Of several months.
Despite inducements Cor an automa tic
train stop end the numerous experiments
that have been made Secretary Borland
says that no device has been presented
which has stood a practical test. The train
control board was created for the specific
purpose of testing safety devices and has
examined many systems. Every one pos
sessed some radical defect.
Azel Ames, Jr.. signal engineer of the
electric zone Of the New York Central Rail-
road, and B. B. Adams, associate editor

board. will go TO Aurora on the 18th instant
to watch the installation Of the automa tic
stop that is to be tried out.

N. Y.-BOsTON BALLOON LINE.
Company Forming 10 Carry Freight aud
Passengers by Dirigibies.

BOSTON, July 90 Whipple, Sears d
Ogden, at the request Of Charles j. Gid
den, are preparing organization papers
to incorporate the American Aerial Navi-
cation Company. TO be created for the pur-
pose Of manufacturing and operating
aerial devices and the establishing of aerial
routes for the transportation Of freight
and passengers in the United States, Canada.
and Mexico.
Mr. Glidden anticipates that within the
next eighteen months the new company
will be carrying passengers and merohan-
disc by the -air line between New York
and Boston, either by use Of the drigible
balloon or aeropane. He believes that
with relay stations near Springfield and
New Haven the trip can be made 800 days
in the year, the one from Boston TO New
York during daylight and from New York
TO Boston in seven or eight hours.
The first experiments will be made with
small dirigibles with a capacity Of one or
two passengers in addition to the operator.
Stations will be established close to the
street car lines on the outskirts OF cities
with suitable facilities to house the dirigi-
bles and supply any loss of gas en- route.
An inexpensive plant to manufacture
hydrogen gas will be in operation at each
station. AS the dirigibles will travel at
an average height OF 500 to 800 feet very
little loss OF gas should take place.
Pending the establishment OF the air
lines and to fdniliarize people with aerial
voyages ascensions will be made from
Pittsfeld and North Adams in the spherical
balloons.
The people interested in the new COM
pany hold options on a large manufactur-
ing plant for aerial apparatus and are in
negotiation for the manufacture Of diri-
gibles The form OF dirigibles to be
adopted will depend upon the success OF
the experiments nov being carried on by
the Governments Of the United States and
France. Aerial travel says Mr.. Gliddep.
will be when thoroughly established the
cheapest and safest form of transporta-
ton

OYSTER BAY. July 20-President Roose-

Newport War College on Wednesday morn

Secretary Loeb on his return from the

ment appearing in a morning paper under a
Washington date in which it was said the
President in his visit to the Naval War Col
lege intended to get to the bottom Of the
dissensions among naval officers over the
construction Of the new battleship North
Dakota and that a general shakeup and
possible abolition OF the present naval board
Of construction was probable. Secretary
Loeb said:
@The President takes a great interest in
the work Of the general naval board and
will attend the regular meeting for the
purpose Of informing himself more thor
oughly on certain subjects under consid-
Grafton. 1t is ridiculous to predict a shake
up Of any sort as the result Of his visit.
Nothing Of the sort will take place.

The last Of the temporary footwork on the
Manhattan Bridge having been connected,
a gang Of seventy men began yesterday to

The vertical span suspenders number "a
and vary in length from 20 to 200 feet.
Besides these there are half dozen more
storm cables springing diagonally from the
towers at point LIS feet FROM the top of
the masonry and running direct to the
temporary footwork. The job Of attach
ing all these suspenders will take about flve
days more. In about thirty days from
now the Glyndon Contracting Company,

Induced 10 Commit Arson.


New ORLEANS, July 20.-Three negroes,
one a preacher, were lynched near Jones'
vile, Catahonla parish, for burning cot
ton gin while in a religious frenzy. For
some time the Rev. Albert Goblin had been
preaching tho end Of the world to the
negroes Of Catahoula parish. He began
at Harrisburg, but being driven from there
he moved near Jonesville, where he renewed
his preaching. There he and a negro
woman preached that he was Christ. that
the world would soon come to an end and
the wicked would be punished Among
the wicked in his declaration was Capt. j.
W. SwayEe, a white farmer, who, he said.
would be soon visited by a great misfortune.
His sermons caused great generalization
among the negroes. many Of whom quit
work to await the coming Of the end.
The burning OF the cotton gin OF Capt.
SwayDs by inoendiaries aroused the sus-
picion Of the authorities. They arrested
two negroes, Miller Gaines and Sam Gaines,
who confessed that they had with the as
sistanoe and at the suggestion Of the Rev.
Albert Goblin burned the gin. expecting
TO arouse the negroes thereby and to point
10 the destruction OF the gin as evidence
Of the truth OF his prophecies. The men
were placed IN the Jonesville jail. which
was broken into by mob and the men
hanged to a neighboring pecan tree. The

AMBUSH BESIDE CAR TRACKS
MAN WITH SHOTGUN PEPPERS
INOUIRING POLICEMAN.

Fight on Speeding Trolley Car Between
Fiushins and jamaica, with an Armed
Man LuriSinE In the Bushes at That
Part OF the line rs an Extra.
A story Of shotgun holdup Of New
York and Queens County trolley car on the
way from Flushing to Far Rookaway came to
the city last night, but apparently the
shotgun did not figure in holdup. but only
in the wounding Of policeman, Fred Bliss,
Of the 27sth precinct. Bliss went down to
Union Turnpike midway between Flushing
and Jamaica, in response to calls by fright
ened passengers who had got of a car.
Some Italians on the car had got into
row about O'Clock with the conductor
on the way out to Far Rockaway, and the
fight they started brought the car TO halt
at Union turnpike. The motorman was
all ready to go back to interfere when
some frightened passengers. in addition
to those two who slipped away. saw man
hiding In the bushes near by. armed with
q shotgun.
They yelled to the motorman, thinking
1t was a concerted plan, and he wasted
no more time. He got back to his place
and dashed away at full speed. The fight
ing Italians apparently were carried right
along with the car. Some Of the passen-
gers thought they heard shots following the
departure Of the car.
Policeman Bliss was back on Hillside
avenue some distance away from Union
turnpike when two men from the car that
had been stopped came running up to him
and told him Of the fight and Of the man
hiding In the bushes. He caught another
car going In the same direction. At Union
turnpike he got of and started to search
around. OF sudden two flashes from the
darkness indicated that the watchers had
spotted Bliss. He was peppered in the legs
with the shot and fell The people on the
trolley car waited until Bliss had fred Ave
shots In the direction Of the flashes and then
they put him on board to carry him to
Jamaica.
The wounds in his legs bled greatly while
the trolley car was making the trip and he
was in serious condition by the time he
reached St. Mary's Hospital in Jamaica.
An inspector for the New York and Queens
County company said last night that the
only report made to him was in connection
with the wounding OF Bliss.
The claim agents department had it
that two or more Of the men who started
the row on the car had been arrested and
that the claim department would be repre-
sented in the police court in the morning.
The Far Rockaway police. who were sup
posed to have had the prisoners. said last
night that they didn't have any such case.
The police surmise that the man in the
bushes may have been out on some branch
OF the Black Hand business and shot the
policeman in the legs merely to discourage
inquiry.
