Henry Cleary, a former employee of
the Home telephone company. has a
mania for threatening to kill people

to carry out his threats by shooting
at his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Cleary, 276

obtained a warrant for his arrest on
a charge of threatening to kill her
last Tuesday.
Mrs Cleary was accompanied by DR..

had also threatened to kill him be-
cause Mrs. Toner had employed Mrs.
Cleary as nurse Cleary called at
Doctor Toner'S Office. last Tuesday and
chased Mrs Cleary out of the Office

Frank E. Batturs. When I went to
work on the coast line some years ago
there were only six trains out of the
depot at Third and Townsend streets.
II remember when there were no
trains between 1:4o p. m. and $3.50 p. m.
There was something stirring, let me
tell you, when it was decided to put

effective.
Captain Nagle, speaking for his
brother officers and himself last even
ing, told of what he had learned as the
latest development in the feud between
General Lauck and the .insurgent' ma
tional guardsmen.
I'VE were advised by a friend over
the telephone this evening to hand in
our designations" said Captain Nagle.
We were told that a 'benzine board
had been ordered. and that our only
chance was TO resign, for the board
was slated to report adversely in our
cases. The ostensible reason for the
appointment of the board was to in
vestigate our conduct in not having
stopped the men of our companies from
sending their petition TO the governor
The men petitioned to remain in the
infantry service. rather than to be
transferred to the coast artillery and
thus lose their old time military iden-
tity.
But the real reason behind the
movement against us is this, as We
understand it: The general officers
that is Lauck and the others-believe
that they can get at the men better
and alter their antipathy to the artil-
lery service by putting fresh officers in
command of the companies. With new
and specially selected officers in COM
mand. they think that they can pro-
coed individually against the men by
court martial or other drastic methods
and break the critical spirit in the
ranks.
WILL NOT RESIGN
But we will not resign. We will
stay with the companies as long as
we can. There is still the same spirit
among the men. They are averse to
the artillery service. We have carried
out TO the letter every order issued re-
garding the companies, and the organi-
cations are now in the coast artillery.
But the men feel that it is not fair
TO them. after they have devoted years
to infantry duty, have studied the sub
ject and become proficient in their
duties suddenly to be changed into
another arm. So they petitioned the
governor to be returned TO the old in
fantry organization. They will resign
from the service if the petition is not
granted
The general officers declared that
il the petition were not withdrawn by
August the signers would be dis
missed for the good of the service
August has passed, the petition has
not been withdrawn, and the men are
still, nominaly. artillerymen. We are
artillery officers. If the petition were
granted and the men returned to the
infantry we would be left without men
and without duties. If the men re-
sign the company officers will then be
without commands

City Attorney Long Sends Opin-

Public school teachers are the only

city limits.
Because they are properly state en-

strictions as to residence laid down by

This is the opinion of City Attorney

NOTES OLE THE AUTO

A tire manufacturer writes that the
situation in the rubber market. which
brought about the recent increase in
tire prices, gives no evidence OF being
relieved Crude Para reached
price of So a pound he says, IAN adj
vance of 81 cents per pound since the
pound since February, 1908. when the
present upward movement commenced.
Even at the present price. there is no
spot rubber in the New York market,
buying being on contract"
1t is of interest TO note that the
first pneumatic tire patent was regis
tered in England in 1S45 by r w
Thomson. The inventor, in writing
of the aerial wheels" as they were
then called, says:
The nature of my said invention
consists in the application of elastic
bearings around wheels of carriages,
for the purpose of lessening the power
required to draw the carriage, render
ing their motion easier, and diminish
ing the noise they make when in
motion. 1 prefer employing for the
purpose hollow belt composed Of
some air and water tight material,
such as caoutchouc or gutta percha.
and initiating it with air, whereby the
wheels will in every revolution pre-
sent a cushion of air to the ground,
or rail or track, on which they run

aerial wheels" were experimental
with on all sorts of horsedrawn
vehicles but the invention fell into
complete Oblivion, and il was not until
the bicycle became an important fac
tor that inflated rubber tires were
made in 1883. Even their usefulness
was short lived, as when punctured
they were considered worthless, and
il may be said that the first salts
factory pneuma tic was introduced in
France a few years later. This tire
was detachable and could be repaired
easily.
Since then these tires have been
improved upon to the present state of
perfection. 1t is a fact that the mod

automobile would be impracticabIe
were it not for the pneumatic tire.
