pounds and their estimated cost II
$4,000. Edison says these can be
erected In two days. Both the inves
tigators doubt that the proposed
houses can be built in the time stat
ed by Edison. Mr.. Wilson finds that
Edison has not yet proved that the
added clay will not delay the hard.
enlng of the mass, and cannot be
certain hat the stone will flow uni
formly.
The business Of constructing ce.
ment houses in day at cost OF
81 900 would interfere with the tene.
ment industry by which landlords re.
ceive nice incomes, and they would
have to adapt themselves to the new
conditions IL such houses should be.
come common.
In discussing Edson's plan a Mas.
sillon cement block manufacturer is
quoted as follows:
81 don't believe that the plan of
Thomas A. Edison to build houses
by setting up molnds and pouring in
the cement, as you would molten iron
into a flask, will never be anything
more than an idea. take all of the
leading journals published in this
country, which deal with the progress
OF the cement industry and they all
seem to treat Mr.. Edison's statements
as to the possibilities OF the scheme
with a good deal of cynicism. They
don't believe II is practicable.
ut does seem rather impractical.
bic, to think that any man man build
house in "a hours which would be
supplied with q cement bath tub and
all Of the appurtenances OF well
equipped building. Besides the
moulds would be very expensive and
very Complex. They could not be
varied, once they were made, and tho
cost Of each Is estimated at $4,000
Just think Of the large quantity of
cement and the size Of the force OF
men that would be necessary TO do
the work In such short time. Per.
sonally ] don't believe Mr.. Edison
himself thinks that the plan can be
worked. The journals don't take much
stock in the prediction, anyway"

EDISON HOUSES
Not Looked Upon With Much Favor
by Seienee-sharp Investi-
cations.

wizard" Edison's latest propo-
sitlon TO construct poured cement
houses In two days time at cost
Of perhaps $1,000 each, mas caused
no end OF discussion among cement
experts, and considerable doubt has
arisen about the practicability of the
plan.
Two high experts in cement con-
structlon have made an investiga-
tlon Of Edison's claims, and their
reports appear in the Cement Age.
The inventor OF this magic house
plan, Thomas A. Edison, was put
through a rigid examination by the
gentleman referred to, 10. s. Larned
OF the tests committee OF the Nation
al Associations Of Cement Users, and
Percy ii. Wilson, secretary OF the
Association OF Portland Cement Manu-
facturers, both civil engineers OF high
standing. Mr.. Edison explained to
them his method OF overcoming the
settling Of the poured cement In his
complete house molds, which IL by
adding colloids (clay) and electrolytes
to the mass OF concrete, which give the
uniform flow desired and prevent se-
gregatlon OF the gravel. Mr.. Larned is
skeptical about the effectiveness OF
these methods after the cement comes
to standstill. Edison's mixture Is
one part cement to three OF sand and
Ave OF stone or gravel, through
half.inch sieve. The steel reinforce
ments will be put in place when the
molds. are set up. Larned admits
that the forms are entirely feasible.

LARGE FORTUNE
Claimed by People Who Say They Are
Heirs Of the Late Gen. Reilly.


wellsville, March 8o.-4A welIknown
local attorney IL In possession OF the
evidence with which he expects to
prove the rightful heirs to the proper
ty OF the late General Reilly.
Down somewhere in a little hamlet
In Delaware Is family of Reilly who
claim that they can trace their de-
cent from Thomas Reilly, the grand
father Of the late General Reilly.
Some very important and interest
Ing documents have been sent from
Delaware to the local attorney to
prove their claim.
The parties who have entered suit
for the property of Joshua, Peter
and Tlllle Reilly, and they aver that
they are cousins of General Reilly.
They have in their possession deed
which transferred to their parents q
large tract of land in Delaware.
This particular deed was .signed by
Thomas Reilly and Catherine, his
wife, father and mother of the late
general in 1S41 These alleged Della
ware heirs state that the grand
father of General Reilly arrived In
the United States in 1916 and pur-
chased or acquired large tract OF
land In Delaware. II 10 further
claimed that one of the witnesses to
the deed conveying the tract Of land
TO the parents OF the alleged heirs is
now living, and can bear testimony
to the signature.
This deed, with many other i'm
portant papers, was in the possession
OF the local attorney all last week,
and after a careful and thorough
search he found that the transfer OF
the deed was matter Of court record.
The attorney claims that this fact
will establish not only the parentage
Of George Reilly, but also prove that
his clients are the only living, direct
heirs, and are entitled to the large
fortune left by the late general.
