Jacob Aston has applied for a patent
for a machine which 1t is hoped will
mak possible the utilization Of peat
deposits as a fuel for power. The cur

says that Colonel Aston intends to pre-
sent it to the public In the hope that
it may be of wide general use.
Colonel Aston is about to try out this
invention at his place, Rhinecliff- on
the-Hudson. He will erect q 150-horse
power plant and attach 1t to a stone
crusher. If the peat gas succeeds in
running this, 1t is believed an inter-

New York, Nov. 10-Prcsident
Johnson of the American league APP
parently has put the quietus ON any
deal that may involve the release of
Catcher King by the Chicago Cubs.
johnson has announced that King
cannot play ball again for three years
because of his refusal to sign a con-
tract last spring and for the addition
al reason that he has since played
against an outlaw team. Johnson is
member of the national commission
which, by only "a unanimous vote can
reinstatc King.
From this it is clear that Charles
w. Murphy cannot trade or sell King,
at the same time delivering the goods,
unless he secures permission from the
national commission. AS Johnson is
lopposod TO Murphyism in baseball af-
fairs. il is believed that Killing cannot
play again unless n powerful game of
politics is played i'm his behalf.
The scheme to beat John A. Heyd-
