LIGHT SOLD BY THE PINT OR POUND,
LIQUID GAS PLACED ON THE MARKET

New York, June 3.-Light is sold
by the pint or pound at last, for
yesterday the first Blau gas plant
in the United States was opened in
Long Island City.
Commuters need no longer be in
the dark for they may take enough
fluid radiance in a container the size
of milk bottle to brighten their ex-
istence. The new illuminant is the
quintessence of cheerfulness, for it's
makers declare that while it occu-
pies only one-four-hundreth of the
space of ordinary gas when in it's
liquid state, it expands and gives in
it's gaseous state about five times as
much light. 1t is so portable that 1t
would be possible for a commuter to
take cabinet on board the darkest
Long Island trains and be able to
read his paper and then have enough
LETT for cooking and lighting on a
weeks camping trip.
Held to Be NOnpOisonous.
The new lighting means is declar-
ed to be nonpoisonous, although
probably the ordinary air of the
country is on the whole better for
the lungs. The workers in the fac
tory seem to thrive on it, although
as a matter of precaution they are
advised not to smoke and to try to
inhale Blau at the same time.

gasoline, naptha and other things.
After all is done. however, the
thrifty manufacturers manage to get
the last product and bottle it,
Invented I'm Germany.
The new gas is of German inven-
ton and has for several years been
used in European countries. 1t is
ordinarily put up in % pound cylin-
ders of steel, and a commuter who
has the best interests of his family
at heart can take home one of these
containers whenever the light begins
to fade and take back the empty ones
If he wishes to save express charges
and does not mind the slight incon-
venience of being seen with a tank.
The application of the new illum-
inant to cooking, lighting and heat
ing was demonstrated this afternoon
in the showrooms of the factory in
the presence of many persons.

POOR RAILWAYS
NEED ALL FUNDS
TO ESCAPE RUIN

Chicago, June 3.-At least $780,
100000, which the American rail-
roads had tentatively arranged to
spend in requirements as a result
OF the increased revenue from the
advance in freight rates they had
expected, must now be used to stave
off ruin, according TO a statement
made by Slason Thompson of the
railway news bureau here today.
New York, June 3.-Tbe New
York Central has decided to suspend
a $4,000. 900 project for improving
it's system and has requested the
cancellation of a s3.OOO,O0O order
for cars on account OF the injunction
granted to the attorney general by
Judge Dyer in Missouri restraining
railroads from increasing their rates.
In making this announcement
President Brown of the New York
Central lines declared that his road
was unable to go ahead with it's
plans until there was some settle
ment of the suit fled by the govern
ment, because he believed that the
credit of American railways had
been almost totally destroyed by this
move against them.

The governors statement was as
follows:
States Attorney Burke called
upon Governor Deneen at O'Clock
this afternoon. Mr.. Burke dis
cussed with the governor the
charges of legislative corruption
which are being investigated by
the Sangamon county grand jury.
The governor informed him that
the various commissions and de-
partments connected with the
executive branch of the state gov
ernment would cheerfully furnish
him any. information in their pos
session which could be of service
to him in the investigation"
Must Have Organization.
After the interview Governor Deneen
said:
"It is manifest from the information
which has been published that legisla-
tive corruption has not been confined
to the members who have so far con-
fessed their connection with 1t. The
very existence of the so-called Jack
pot presupposes an organization suffi-
ciently strong numerically to control
the course of legislation and to collect
and distribute a common corruption
fund to control it.
Paid for General Attitude.
There are 153 members in the
house and 81 in the senate; and it is
apparent that a very extensive organi-
zation would be necessary successfully
to carry out such conspiracy against
the public interests as has been shown
to exist by the confessions already
made. The character of this organiza-
ton and of its leadership is indicated
by the fact that those who confessed
were not sure as to the specific bills
for which they received bribes.
"The investigation, therefore, must
go back of these men to the men who
traficked in legislation and knew the
particular measures for which the
bribes were furnished and the sources
from which the bribe money was de-
rived

assent to such a program.
Consent to Vote Not Given.
Washington, June Am attempt
yesterday to secure unanimous con-
sent to sit out the railroad bill to-
day and vote before midnight, failed.

to offer, and the end of the long

Given More Than a Year.

senate met today the first question
to receive attention arose in connec-
ton with the amendment to the rail-
road bill offered by Sutherland, re-
quiring the interstate commerce COM
mission to determine within a year
the reasonableness of rates coming
under the long and short haul pro-
vision of the bill. There was siren
uous opposition and the amendment
was ultimately modified so as to per-
NIT the commission to extend the
time of inquiry beyond the year. and,
as thus changed, the amendment
was accepted, 81 to 81.

amendment to sundry civil appropri-
alton bill stipulating that no part of
the 100000 provided in the bill for
the enforcement of the Sherman anti
trust act shall be used in the prose-
cution of labor unions. Mr. Hughes
of New Jersey, who proposed the
amendment met opposition from sew
eral republicans who said that ex-
cept under Cleveland unions had
never been prosecuted under the
Sherman law, but Mr.. Hughes said
that was no guarantee that the pres
ent administration would not do So
