On a test trip between Philadelphia and
Washington over the lines OF the Penn
sylvania railroad the car Irene, built by
the Strang Gas-Electric Car Company
passed through this city this morning
having aboard a party Of officials, Of the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads.
The Irene is Of a peculiar type Of car
which is being tried out by the various
railroads throughout the eastern section
of the country.
It is built entirely Of steel and is pro-
PEELED by an electric motor located in the
front OF the coach power for which is
furnished by a gasoline engine. It's attain
able speed is about 25 miles an h0lr but
the run Of q miles between this city and
Philadelphia to-day was made in Just an
hour, the car leaving Philadelphia at
Ills and arrived here at 1915
The stop here was only of a minute to
allow A. ]. Hyland. Passenger Train Des-
patcher Of the Maryland Division OF the
road, who made the trip from Philadel-
phia to this city 10 alight and TO permit
w. H. Casey, Assistant Passenger Train
Dispatcher and George Minnick, Assist
ant Freight Train Master, to get aboard.
The Irene resembles somewhat a pas
senger coach and has a seating capacity
OF seventy-hve passengers. Among those
aboard the car was II. A. Strang inventor
Of the device.

BATONYI RECALLS CHARGES

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. March 12-After being
severely criticised By Judge O'Gormar,
in a private hearing in the Supreme
Court, some Of the allegations sworn
to by Aurel Batonyi in the divorce pro-,
ceedings instituted by his wife, a
daughter Of Frank Work. and formerly

permission Of the court. Such was the
announcement made yesterday by Ed
ward A. Alexander, attorney for
Baotnyi
Prompted by publicity OF what pur-
ported to be papers filed in teh case
Mr.. Alexander issued the following for
NAL statement;
AT a private hearing before Judge
O'Gorman last Saturday the character
of thea Legations sworn to by my client
was demonstrated to me and severely
commented on by the court. This
answer and the motion based thereon
were for these reasons withdrawn by
the permission Of the court.

tipn. The duties of the commissioner
are IN many respects judicial as well

construction Of law, or injudicious or

and can do very much towards enhance
ing the material prosperity Of the

'The financial and insurance instltu-

should not have to depend for his
tenure of Office upon the vlssitudes Of
partisan politics; and should be remov-

not always so; but since the year 1889
the supervision Of this department has
been extended from what It formerly

their agents only. until now It has

the commissioner have been greatly ex-
tended IN every direction. This is well
and proper, just so long as the powers

present system Of election, must pro-

things should not be; and to that end
would respectfully recommend TO your
honorable body that an amendment to
our constitution be enacted to provide
that the insurance commissioner shall
be appointed by the governor, by and
with the consent Of the Senate to serve
a term Of twelve years, IL he shall so
long well behave himself, and, further,
that the official title be changed to
