The trackless trolley is not an idle
dream as fourteen of them are be-
ing very successfully operated in
Europe.
In general outline and construc-
ton the trackless trolley looks not
unlike its prototype which needs
must keep on a track. The same
electric motors drive the new trolley
but the electricity is gathered from
the overhead trolley wire by flexi-
Bile connection. The trolley wheels
run on top of the trolley wire and
is connected to the car by a wire ca
BILE. The vehicle Is steered with a
wheel like an automobile. The cars
carry thirty passengers.

Uncle Sans Word


General Tom Edgar, the first white
child born on Galveston island (his
birthday was in June. 1880, once mar
rated his experience as a Juror in the
case Of negro on trial for stealing a
mule. 1t was in 1865, while United
States soldiers were still in charge at
Galveston. The negro pleaded not
guilty. but the testimony was pretty
clear against him. His lawyer, ignor
ing the testimony, based his defense
upon the assertion that the negro
could not possibly be guilty.
rs 1t not fact" he said. that the
federal government promised to every
freed man two mules and sixty acres
Of land? No man can deny it, because
1t is fact My client has not receiy
ed his promised sixty acres of land.
He has not received his promised span
Of mules. He has indeed got but one
mule, as these witnesses have testified.
and the United States still owes him
another mule and sixty acres of land.
l leave it to you. gentlemen" he said,
turning to the jury, III the facts do
not prove conclusively that my client
Is not guilty Of stealing this mule and
cannot under the circumstances have
been guilty"
THAT argument" said General Ed

returned a verdict OF not guilty.
