MONORAIL MAKES GOOD.
Forty Foot Car With GyroscoPss Works
Perfectly at Chatham.


Perfectly at Chatham.
London, Nov. 1.-THE new monorail
railway, which works on the principle
Of the gyroscope, received its first pub
lie demonstration on a full scale on
the war Office grounds near Chatham.
The guests witnessed spectacle as
marvellous and as revolutionary from
the standpoint Of transportation as
that which aeroplanes have furnished
during the last two years. They saw
a car forty feet long, ten feet wide
and thirteen feet high, weighing twen-
ty-two pounds, mounted on single
rail, running freely about curves Of
all sorts of angles, carrying forty pas
sengers with safety as complete and
vibration far less than the ordinary
passenger car.
The vehicle runs in a circle an eighth
Of mile in circumference Mt speed
Of twenty-five miles an hour, with
eighty horsepower, without the slight
est tendency to leave the rail. Two
horoscopes weighing three-Quarters of
ton each automatically supply per-
feet stability. The rail closely resem-
bles the ordinary one, except that the
top is somewhat curved, and the rims
Of the wheels correspond to this curve.
The gyroscope makes 1900 revolu-
tions a minute in vacuo. The motive
power is entirely self contained In a
petrol engine which is used to drive
the dynamo.

Convicted Banker Asks For
a Second Trial.
ALLEGES JURY ROOM ABUSES.
Declares Jurors Were Allowed to
Drink Quarts Of Whisky and
We're Dominated by Hostile
Government Agents.

New York, Nov. II. - Charles w.
Morse, through his counsel, Martin
w. Littleton, served on United States
District Attorney Weis notice Of mo-
taon IN the circuit court Of appeals for
permission 10 move for new trial
before the United States circuit court.
Morse alleges that the jury which
convicted him was attended by special
agents Of the government hostile to
Morse rather than disinterested bail
Ifs, as required by law; that these
men discussed the case with them i'm
properly, that the jury was permitted
to indulge in practically unlimited
quantities Of liquor during the trial,
the special agents drinking with them,
and that one Of the jurors had been
twice in an asylum with paresis.
Morse says the alleged facts upon
which he bases his move for a new
trial did not come to him until after
the case had been appealed.
Under the heading privilege Ac-
corded the Jurors of Drinking Unlim-
tied Quantities of Intoxicating Liq-
uors" Morse declares that right after
the trial commenced the jurors were
informed by government agents that
they could take such quantities of
whisky, beer or other drinks as they
needed and that thereafter the jurors
drank intoxicating liquor. He alleges
that at least eight of the jurors took
quart bottles of whisky.
Mr.. Morse alleges that in a room
provided for them at the Astor House
the jurors would retire during the
evening to play cards and that dnr-
ang the game some Of the jurors would
bring in quarts of whisky, which
would be served to all in the room.
The card games lasted until midnight
or 1 a. m. He says that one of the
jurors admits that they could con-
sumo more than four quarts of whisky
a night and that as flask was emp
tied it would be put in the crate or
fireplace and "facetiously marked ex-
hibit SO and so.'
Other charges in the affidavit con-
cerning the relations between the
jurors and the government agents in
charge of them are:
That fourteen special agents of the
department of justice accompanied the
jury about the city, went into saloons
with them, Joined them in drinking,
treated them and were treated in re-
turn.
That one night eight of the jurors
and eight special agents went to
Coney Island in Seeing New York;
car, visited saloons on the Bowery
and drank whisky and beer together,
for which the jurors paid. On another
occasion six or eight of the jurors went
to Van Cortlandt park with the special
agents and drank whisky and beer, the
jurors treating.
That the first Saturday after the
jury had been impaneled eight of them
went to Staten Island in the company
of special agents and that the jurors
treated to drinks in a saloon.
Mr.. Morse recites that he and Alfred
II. Curtis were put on trial on Oct
10, 1908, and were found guilty OF
making false entries on the books OF
the National Bank of North Americs
and of misapplying the funds of the
bank, Curtis being let go under sus
pended sentence and Morse sentenced
to fifteen years. imprisonment.

goes to Lincoln to visit the legislature
and size up the situation as to a new

is quite optimistic over the prospects
of making the Wayne normal a state
institution, but of course there are
other towns after such distinction and
then the legislature may, or should,
have an economical streak and not To-
cate one anywhere, which born of the
dilemma would be just as satisfactory

erty on College hill.

Bocbc has gone to Lincoln to take a
short course in corn Judging and corn
culture in the state agricultural col
lCge. The Star-lournal wishes to com
mend this action of his as one of the
very best acts of his life. one man
in Iowa who had spent several years
in this study went out over the state
and leCtured to the people, telling
them of the results of his experiments
and Investigations. The farmers
listened, accepted his doctrines, and
went home and put them into practice.
The result was that next year the
farmers of that state raised million
bushels of corn more than they had in
any previous year. And those Iowa
farmers have kept at it, and their
young men have kept at this study Of
the subject. AS a result of this effort
on the part of the young men they
carried off every prize in corn Judging
at the National Corn exposition in
Omaha last month. Nebraska has not
done SO well because our young men
have not taken hold of the subject in
the same spirit that has animated the
Iowa boys But the example Of George
Beebe will onthuse and inspire others,
and we hope that a dozen or more

year. Let the good work go on, Sci
