second by 677. Orange county con-
tains the Taggert and Sinclair resorts

HAS APPLIED FOR A
PATENT TO UNCLE SAM
Plan Is Designed Principally For
Family Use and Every Home Will
Be Enabled to Have Machine and
Save By Economic Process In
vented and Patented.

ExMayor Patrick Reilley, who claims
the distinction of having first made
butterine in this country, has devel-
oped his ability along the same line
and now claims to have a process by
which he can double the amount of but
ter in any given quantity at cents ad-
ditional costs per pound. The patent
for this process is now pending in
Washington, and if successful. will not
only be a butter trust buster, but will
also prove of great financial value to
its owner. Mr.. RSlIey's process is de-
signed principally for family use. and
consequently little machine is sup
piled for eevry home where the econ
omic process is to be used.
Several Machines Completed.
Mr.. Reilley has already had a num-
Der of machines and has himself used
one in his home for the past six weeks.
His last experiment was that Of taking
two pounds of butter and putting it
through the process and taking out
four pounds and three ounces. The Sc
cret of course, lays in the process, and
Mr.. Reilley believes that If he will
have any difficulty at all with the
patent department il will because he
will not be allowed to demonstrate it.
or that it may be IN conflict with
some existing law. Despite all Of this
Mr.. Reilley is ready to warrant the
product of his process as against taste.
color or quality of the original butter.
but not against the age of the original
butter. He is ready to guarantee his
product to last a week. and for this
reason he thinks that 1t could only
be turned to family use.

RY.
To FIGHT
The TRUST

Pittsburg, Pa, March 26.-B. f.
Jones, jr., president of the Jones &
Mclaughlin steel company, in an Of
fetal statement issued yesterday an
nounced that his company. the largest
independent competitor of the United
States Steel corporation, had sold a
$4,000, 900 bond issue to the First
Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago and
to Blair & Co.
The statement recites that, owing to
the depressed financial condition of
the country, officials Of the company
thought this a good time to float the
issue as there is much money in the
banks, and that money derived would
be used to make improvements that
had been considered by the officials
sometime ago. The statement does
not say what these intended improve
ments are.
improvements Planned.
1t was learned last night, however,
that the improvements consist in the
building Of a railroad from Geneva
Harbor. o., on the shores Of Lake Erie,
to Pittsburg.
It is declared that this move of
Jones & Mclaughlin is the opening gun
of an Industrial war by the steel in
dependents upon the steel corporation.
While every official of the Jones &
Laughlin company declares there is no
truth in the statement that they are
to build a railroad, persons in a posi-
ton to know assert that this not only
is the intention Of the corporation, but
that most of the right of way has been
obtained, and that the road will be
started soon.

CHURCHES AGREE TO
CLOSE SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Because of the scarlet fever scare,
the various churches of the city, In
cluding the Episcopal, Methodist,
Baptist and Christian, will for the
present close their Sunday schools.
The decision was reached after a
conference with the health authori-

However, the pastors of the
churches named wish it distinctly
understood that the regular church
services at these places of worship
will be held as usual .on Sunday.
The closing of the Sunday schools
is taken as precautionary mea-
