WHEEL THAT SCREWS

Lifting Device Invented by an
indiana Man---May Be

Anderson. Ind. Special: BY a lift

cal plant of the Seton Manufacturing
company, believes he has worked out
n theory that may eventually supplant

of it is thai when it is placed in u
horizontal position it screws itself into
air and forces itself upward. Set per-
pendicular the wheel has traction pow

designed particularly for lifting and il
il continues to work as we'll as it did
in q test recently. MIR. Ferris may at
tach the wheel TO an airship for the
lifting device.
The first test of the Ferris invention
was with a wheel of wood. which took
finally few to pieces and one piece
broke a water pipe of the factory
s%prinkling apparatus. The wreck of the
first wheel was joy to Mr.. Ferris for

brass can be constructed, further ex-

to operate in air or water, and it could

Mr.. Ferris's invention is regarded as
important. In 20 years he has invented
most of the machinery used by The

factories for paper products. Mr.. Fer

YARDMENLOSE WORK
NAVY DEPARTMENT FORGE RE-
 DUCID AT PENSACOLA.
Fifty EmpIoyes are Let Out by the GOvernment and More Are Ex- pected-Imm0ral Per-
 sons Fined.

Pensacola. Fla, Jan. 9.-(Special.)-- Fifty more skilled laborers were to- night laid off at the Pensacola navy yards, making the second reduction in the force there during the past two weeks.
 The men let out tonight were em- ployed in the department of construc- ton and repair and most of them are skilled iron and ship workers, who command good salaries. Lack of work at the yard is the cause of the re- auction in this force. as only two or three vessels are now under repaiA and one of these will be completed within short time. JIt is feared that other departments at the yard will be compelled to reduce their forces.
 The steamer engineering department had already reduced it's force of me- chanics about forty. and it was stated tonight that another reduction is not likely in this department within the next three months.
 Fines imposed in the Recorders Court today against keepers of inde- cent and immoral houses aggregated over $500. This was the result of a raid made by the police, when the Keepers of such places were placed under arrest. Fifteen were arrested, but one case was continued until to- morrow.
 The fines were from $25 to $50 each.

REPUBLICANS ARE ACTIVE.
 -, Officeholders and Others Are at War. WANT TO STOP oFFIcEHoL LDERs May Send Contesting Delegates to
 Chicago. Question of Connrmstion of Judge HundIey Figures in Pres
 ent Political
 Fight

There is beginning to be some ac- tfvity in Republican politics in Ala bama. This appears more among the supporters of Secretary Taft than among the friends of the other Repub- lican candidates for President
 | The point seems to be the antagon- ism between the office holding and non n-office-hoIding Republicans Tn oth- CT words. the fight is open between the ofice holders and the Republican voters. It seems that that wing of the Republican Party which was recog- nised at the last State election and had ticket upon the official ballot, want 6 convention on the vote cast basis instead of a population basis; they want the State Convention to de- , clare office holders ineligible to mem bership on the State Committee, and in case State Committeeman accepts an appointment from the Federal Govern ment that he must vacate his place on the committee. This is done to prevent an office holders trust dominating Re- publican politics, This wing will agree 10 the holding of one convention on these terms and are willing to act with Captain Scott in the organization of the convention. but are opposed to J. O. Thompson, present State Chairman. They are also opposed to Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock, who is a friend of Thompson's If these men lead the Taft forces. Hitchcock as man. ager for the South and Thompson as manager for Alabama. the wing of the party above mentioned. which has complete State organization, will send a contesting delegation to Chicago.
 There is also some opposition to the confirmation among the Republican voters of the State of Oscar R. Hund- ley as Judge of the Northern District of Alabama" said a Republican yester- day in discusinsg the situation. "They think it does not look well for judge to appoint a Federal office holder In the face of the revised statutes of the United States against the appointment of Federal officers as receivers in the IT. s. Court The fact of Thompson's indebtedness to Hundley and the fur ther fact that he had no experience in the management of steel and iron plants. or the management of large manufacturing plants of any kind; that he should have been appointed one of the receivers of the Southern Steel Company which corporation was re- gently put into involuntary bankruptcy in Birmingham. The strength of this objection must be appafent to all."
