FOR CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS PLAN

Formal Vote in All the Councils to
Be Taken-Committee Named
to Supervise.

Supreme Knight Edward l.. Hearn of
the knights of Columbus has announced
from New Haven. Conn. headquarters o.
the order. the appointment of a commit
tee of three TO ascertain the sentiment
of councils regarding the proposed en-
dowment of $4,000 for the Catholic Uni
versity of America. The committee con-

Branch. n. j.: Festus J. Wade. St. Louis.

Y, and s regarded as a representative
one. thoroughly competent to take up the
duties outlined for it,
1t was decided at the national convention
that the question of the Willingness OF
the members to render themselves Ii
able 10 an assessment for the purpose OF
carrying out the request may be deter
mined by formal notice. setting out the
nature OF the request which has been
made and requiring all the councils in tli6
United States and its possessions by
formal vote TO show their attitude upon
the subject and report the result at The
next convention. which will this year be
held i'm st. Louis. Mo.
The proposition to raise half a million
dollars for the Catholic University OF
America was one of the principal ma t.
tiers discussed at the last convention.
supreme head Of the knights of Column
bus Rrchbish J. J. Glennor of 5,
Louis. Mo. reprs senting tne regents of
the Catholic University. addressed the
delegates on the subiect. He explained
the urgent necessity for such fund, and
pointed out the splendid opportunity pre-
scented the Knights of Columbus to per-
form a browning act of generosity and
love" Archbishop Glennon's remarks crr-
ated profound IMPRESSION in the minds
of the DELEGATES to the convention. and
later the matter was acted on as stated;
Request for Formal Vote.
The committee on arrangements for the
fund will shortly request all councils OF
the order 10 vote on the question of an
assessment for the proposed fund. Should
four fifths of the councils agree to submit
20 such an assessment it will be levied by
the board of directors of the Knights of
Columbus upon the councils giving their
consent. The local councils are said to
De sure to pass the needed resolutions
calling for the assessment -
1t is regarded as likely that the Knights
of Columbus throughout the United States
will take the same action. The perpetuity
and advancement of the Catholic Cniver-
sity OF America is matter of deep in
terest throughout the United States. and
it is thought that the "easy-paym INT
plan of the regents of the Catholic Uni
versitv OF America-;O cents year for
five wears for each member of the Knights
Of Columbus-will prove attractive The
apportiOnment of this sum yearly among
the membership of the knights of CO.

SELF-PR0PELlEO MOTOR CAR
GASOLINE ENGINE AND ELEC-
TRIO GENERATOR COMBINED.
New Type of Railway Vehicle in the
Local Yards-Plan of
Operation.

The Irene the first Self-propeled
motor car ever run over the tracks of the
local division Of the Pennsylvania rail
road. arrived i'm this city at. the new
Union station about ! O'Clock Thursday
afternoon from Philadelphia
Cleaning with purple and gold the car
glided into the station on track No. Is.
and soon score of railroad officials and
employees about the station were swarm
ing about it. 1t is thing of beauty
and Of interest. too. for it is.a tangled
motor. built of steel. The car is sixty
two feet long and from the outside looks
like Pullman palace car.
The car used is one of several types
built by the Strang Railway Motor Car
Company 1t is called gas electro
motor car because 1t has a gasoline
engine and an electric generator coupled
together on a common bed plate. This
forms self-generating unit.
The car produces its own poweT-in fact.
carries a complete powerhouse with it.
Directly from the brushes of the generator
wires lead to a controller. Other wires
go to the electric motors hung directly
on the aNles of the trucks. With the
wires between the generator and con-
troller is connected small storage bat
terry. which plays great part in the
economy of the car.
Action of the Battery.
This battery takes up all the surplus
electricity. generated by varying loads or
by running down hill. and pays it out
when extra power is needed for climbing
grades. The process is automatic and
regulated by governor without action
of the motorman. The speed of the car
is continued by the constant pressing
of button: thus if the motorman should
faint or die at his post the car would
come TO a standstill
The generator is regarded with special
interest. 1t has capacity of ninety kilo-
watts and weighs only 1000 pounds. A
regular generator of fifty kilowatts weighs
800 pounds. and one having the same
power as that of the Irene would ordina-
rily weigh about six tons. 1t is said to be
the most powerful generator of its weight
in the world
On the trip Thursday the car was limit
ed to a twenty five-mile hour schedule,
