FIRELESS ENGINE
PROBLEM SOLVED
Special Agent Garden Re-
ports Practical Use in
Germany.

Now it Is the freIess locomotive. Il
has been but a, short time since the
country was wrought up over the fire.
less cooker, an invention which the
army Is daily putting 70 practical use.
The III eless locomotive also is practical
according to a report from Special
Agent Godfrey L. Garden. Of the Rev
enue Cutter Service, writing from Ber-
lin, Germany, Of an invention he thinks
would be Of great service in the United
States
Simplicity. Ingenuity. and econOny
characterize this new invention. acco-L-
ing 10 Special Agent Garden. II is but
recently that locomotive men in Amer
lea learned Of it.
The dreless locomotive is said to be
not only a success. but practically the
only type OF motor power which can
be recommended for plants where the
question Of IRE precaution is almost a
hTst consideration, as. for example,
powder mills, cotton plants, wharves,
and other places where the presence
OF an ordinary type Of locomotive. or
even electric power, prejudices the in
surance.
As the name implies, tho locomotive
Is fireless, having no fire box. In gen
eral appearance II resembles the ordi-
nary locomotive, minus the fire box,
funnel, and sundry other attachments.
The base Of supply Of power for il is
the boiler OF some local power station.
At this local power station the tank
OF the locomotive Is filled with steam.
and on this steam supply the locomo-
tive will run from four 20 FIVE hours,
doing ordinary switching work
The construction is simple, the most
important part being the receiver con-
tanning the water which Is 70 be heated
by mixing 4 with steam from the local
power plant. II IS true the locomotive
cannot be used for uninterrupted rail-
way service. but II is pronounced ex-
tremely valuable about yards and fac
tories, being absolutely devoid OF the
possibility OF eudangering plants through
parks or fire. Besides the smoke n1IiS-
auce Is eliminated.
Special Agent Garden says the fire
less locomotive is in much demand
among European firms. He believes
~ could be used TO great advantage on
inns side or the Atlantic at various Gov
eminent plants and private establish
ments-
Cne Of the advantages mentioned for
the hreless locomotive is that only one
man is required 10 run the machine !
7. JUS saving the expense Of a fireman
special Agent Garden saws he had oc-
asiun 10 ride on a nreless locomotive
and its simplicity can be understood I
from the fact that in the cab the mech /
auism consisted merely OF a throttle /
bar, reversing gear. and brake.

At that trying period the Irish minis

before this time that Sir Henry had
assumed the name Of Bannerman, from

a large sum. Sir Henry had a difficult

secretary to Ireland. He met all the
complaints with unfailing good nature,
bBnd so genial was his reception Of the
complaints that Tim" Healy complained
that ireland was being ruled by Scottish
1okes and IIeaIy's colleagues complained
that they could make no impression on

Sir Henry came prominently before

O'Clock and arguments were at once
begun, the defense declining to intro
duce any testimony, taking the same
stand as in other cases already dis
posed of.
The case went to the jury at 2:45

A. H. Hebbard. steward of the county
hospital at which institution Case is
employed as laundryman. Hebbard
testified he had questioned Case after
he returned from Ocean Park and that
the latter admitted the registration.
Il asked him the direct question how
he got mixed up in this matter" said
Hebbard, land he said he would be

things you get into"
Hebbard said he also asked Case
why it was after he and others went

them voted. Case, he said, replied that
"it was one time the newspapers did

were warned"

pile of Barnetts wood stored in his
yard on Berkeley street.
Barnett claimed he had bought lime

kindling out of it, heaping it on lot
he rented for the purpose.
The health officials said it was rat
refuge aAd mere rubbish and that Bar
nett had been warned to separate the
wood from the trash and pile 1t else
where.
DR.. Houghton was not present to de-
fend his action, but DR.. Powers and In
spector Arthur Potts defended the in
SpectorS acts.
Barnett insinuated that he had been
singled out for spite work because
previously he had openly denounced the
department for singing out small dair-
les for persecution and excusing the
large dairymen. He tried to go into de-
tails. but the councilmen told him to
confine himself to the burned wood
solely.
DR.. Powers said Barnett had refused
to obey sanitary orders frequently.
Barnett shouted back at DR.. Powers:
And l protested against crookedness
in the health department"
The two men neared each other
threateningly, and one councilman
stopped the debate by moving that $40
be allowed. This was turned down,
Councilmen Lyon, Wallace, Wren,
Blanchard and Yonkin refusing any
settlement.
Councilman Dromgold told Barnett
to seek relief in the courts, while Coun-
Gilman Clampitt tried once more to get

but in vain.
DR.. Powers demanded an apology
from Barnett in the hail. and as he was
about to renew hostilities Smoke In
spector Potts interfered and others took
Barnett away.
