Subway for Moving Sidewalks.

Subway for Moving Sidewalks.
Strap-hanging in street cars and the
general congestion of interurban ira
vel will be at an end If the invention
of a New York man, who is backed by
prominent capitalists Of that city,
proves as successful as is anticipated.
Attracted to the conditions of the
Brooklyn bridge, where during the
rush hours the traction companies en-
deavor to transport 10000 passengers
an hour, with facilities which $4,000
tax to the utmost, he evolved
scheme based to an extent on the
moving sidewalk which was a feature
Of the pier at the worlds fair at Chi
ago in 1898. His idea explains the
technical World, is to equip the
Brooklyn bridge with a series Of five
moving platforms, one within another.
The outer one would travel at the rate
of three miles an hour, the second al
six miles an hour, the third at nine
and the fourth at twelve The inner
one, which he would operate at fifteen
miles an hour, he would have equipped
with seats, each holding half dozen
persons. To step from one platform
to another while both were in motion
would be both safe and easy. With
this system Of platforms, moving in
one direction on one sids of the
bridge and back on the other the in
ventor claims he can transport l74,O0O
persons an hour. AS an economical
method of transportation, the promot-
ers declare that there would be no
motormen, conductors nor brakemen
to pay and that the expense for power,
repairs and operating force would be
less than for any other system that is
in use to-day.

Republicans Were Careless.

Guthrie, Ok, June 2S.-Through the
provision of the recently enacted pri-
mary election law requiring filing Of
petitions by candidates for nomination
to state offices, 40 days before the pri-
maries In 16 senatorial districts in the
state and 10 lower house districts,
there will be no Republican nominees,
no petitions having been filed at the
time limit, midnight Thursday.

The dead are: Mrs. Edward West,
Mrs. Lena Sherman, Mrs. Joe Jack.
son, son Of Frank Hearst, Lavene
Brothers.
The latter lost his life this after
noon while trying to find the bodies
of Mrs. West and Mrs. Sherman,
which, up to late hour tonight, had
not been recovered.
The food came almost without
warning. Rain commenced to fall
about o'clock in the evening and
continued until late in the night. At
times the fall was very heavy, but
not enough to cause damage. There
was also considerable wind and an
almost incessant play Of electricity,
bolts of the latter striking several
places, including the houses of Geo.
H. Hunter and Frank Hunter and the
cupalo of the court house. The wind
was strong enough to blow down
trees in places and to tear off the
awnings of several Main street stores.
Creek Became River.
Shortly after II o'clock the water
In Hargis creek, which is ordinarily
little more than slough, running
through the east part of town, about
three blocks from the principal bust
ness streets, began rising.
A few minutes later wave Of wa
ter six feet deep came down the
stream, causing 1t to spread quickly
over the adjoining land and lifting
the houses off their foundations be-
fore the startled occupants had time
to make their escape to places of
safety. Those living farthest from
the current of the stream managed to
wade to higher land, but those whose
houses were surrounded with water
ranging from six to fifteen feet deep
sought safety in the garrets or on
the roofs of their houses. Within
an hour from the time, the water be-
gan to invade the homes of the peo-
pie living along the creek, the food
had covered territory three blocks
wide and six blocks long.
Caused by coudburst.
The flood was undoubtedly caused
by cloudburst in the vicinity OF
Cicero, where 1t Is said that ten to
twelve inches of water fell in very
short time. The flood conditions In
East Wellington were aggravated by
the Santa Fe entertainments, which
are very high and which made dam
that caused a great deal of back wa
ter. Parts of the entertainments were
washed out and also some trestle-
work. Several houses and barns and
some driftwood lodged against the
bridge, also serving to dam the waters
Half an hour after the flood on the
East Side reached its height, tor
rent of water poured down from the
north through the Rock Island bot
toms in West Wellington, forcing
many people to leave their homes and
damaging great deal Of property
There were several narrow escapes
from drowning here, too.
At late hour tonight Slate creek
was rising at the rate of eight inches
an hour, but no damage from this
source Ia expected.

have the job of inventing term to

II 1t were original; but 1t will hardly
be fitting to take a secondhand term

Anyhow, 1t is to be hoped that the re-
suit will not be to borrow a word from
foreign language that really means
something else.

HILO BREAKWATER
PLANS APPROVED

The plans and specifications for
the IIilo breakwater have been ap-
proved by the authorities at Wash
ington and have been returned to
Captain Otwell. Bids will soon be
called for, and it is expected that
contractors from Honolulu, Hilo and
San Francisco may enter into the
competition for the work, for which
100000 has been appropriated.
Before the work is completed it is
likely that further appropriation
will be asked from Congress, as the
intention is that the structure shall
be built out about 1900 feet to the
northwest and then turned towards
the west for about 26O0 feet. 1t will
be one of the most important works
of the kind which has ever been I'M

ON CARRIERS WORD

That Ex-Governor Carter still Is u
person of considerable influence was
shown in the Police Court this morn
ing, when A. NJ. Brown as prosecuting
officer asked to have sentence sus.
pended in the case of n japanese, bas
ing his motion on request from his
old friend, the Ex-Governor.
The defendant, Nshloka, was
charged with having carried con
cealed weapon. He entered n plea Of
guilty, and then Brown made his re-
quest that sentence be suspended, as
Carter had said that he knew the
man and that he was a very nice sort
of a person. The Court granted the
request, and .Nishioka hustled out to
bask in the shadow of his influential
friends.
The police officers who handled the
case do not appear to have as high an
opinion Of the character of the eX-
Governors friend, and they state that
the weapon which he carried, was an
exceedingly vicious looking Japanese
dagger.
