A SMOKELESS LOCOMOTIVE
Stories of Successful Tests of Chicago
Invention Are Reported

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The report from Chicago that smoke
less engine has been pronounced a sue
cess after practical tests covering sew
eral weeks is important, if true. The
smoke problem is one of those problems
about whose existence there is no dis
pute and it is proved, to this good day,
a very troublesome one in American
cities Smoke consumers, so-called, have
partially abated the nuisance here and
there, but in the great railway centers
scores of steam locomotives persist In
filling the air with smoke and cinders and
thereby provoke a more or less constant
stream of protest from the sufferers.
Processing not only willingness, but a
desire. to cure an evil acknowledged. the
railway managers insist in their own be-
half that no practicable and economical
method for it's complete abolition has
been devised.
That their professions have at least an
element of sincerity is effectively argued
on the theory that a great deal of energy
Is lost in the escaping smoke which con-
tains unburned gases and particles Of
combustible stun that would under a per-
feet system of combustion reduce the rail-
way fuel bills. In Chicago, where the re-
ported tests of the "smokeless engine
took place, the railways have been fac
ing a hard fight over the smoke question
for several years A suffering and not
very patient public has long demanded
relief and there is talk of forcing tho
identification of the urban lines, a pro-
posal resisted by the rail interests on ac-
count of it's cost.
If the new 'smokeless engine offers
a solution of this troublesome problem
SO far as the railroads are concerned II
will probably be welcomed by them and
put to use without loss of time. The
chance of its acceptance is increased by
the reported showing that the new en-
CINE effects a saving of rs to 35 per. cent
in fuel-an economy that would, In the
long run, repay the cost of substituted
equipment. II the railroad interests are
sometimes sngularly reluctant to adopt
devices or make Improvements which
promise no returns in dollars and cents,
we must at least credit the more pro-
gressive Of the railway managers with
a willingness to conform to public senti-
ment and meet the public demands when
increase OF profits, or reduction of ex-
penses, which amounts to substantially
the same thing, is assured as reward for
their compliance.

The cold Bug" is one of the least
Erewsome of Poe's short stories. AL
though strain of morbidness runs
through it, those horrible shadows which
throw their appalling gloom over such
tales as the Murders in the Rue
Morgue" and the Mystery of Marie
Roget" are, in this story, seen only, as
It were. upon the distant horizon. One
feels all the time as If something terrible
We're lurking in the background, but the
story is, on the whole, remarkably sane
and cheerful-for Poe In writing it he
seems to have kept at least partially
closed. as he sometimes would, the door
of that Haunted Palace" of his mind.
through which, as he tells US in THE
Fall of the House of Usher" "A hideous
throng rushed out forever that laugh-but
smile no more" At one time in the course
of his wild and lurid career Poe was an
enlisted man in the army, and was sta
toned at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's
Island. 1t is there that he lays the scene
of the Gold Bug" and it was there,
doubtless, that he received, from the in
fluence and legends of the place. the i'm

GAFFEY'S NEW SHACK
CAUSE OF COMMENT
CANNOT SECURE FILL UNDER
ACT OF 1852
Harbor Promoters Refuse to Become
Worried Over the Latest
ManeuVers of the San
Pedro Man

John T. Gaffey is out again to swat
the Los Angeles harbor. At least so
thinks A. p. Fleming and other har-
Dor promoters, who find much amuse-
ment in watching Gaffey's maneuvers,
although they consider his opposition
futile.
Gaffey's latest action, however, Is
causing some speculation at San Pc
dro. According to reports CAREY has
had a 10x14 shack erected on the new
fill north of Smiths island and harbor
enthusiasts, not familiar with all the
facts, fear Gaffeys real intention is
to locate the land under the act OF 1867,
whereby any land upon which barley
can be successfully grown may be
held and occupied by making certain
improvements and filing on it after
stated period of residence.
Now this new fill represents some
of the most valuable land along the
harbor. 1t would be worth a huge
sum to the Southern Pacific Railroad
company for instance, If that corpor-
alton could get a franchise over 1t.
And it is said there are people in Los
Angeles who consider Gaffey too friend
ly with the Southern Pacific. But OF
course they don't think he would file
on the land and then give 1t away to
the S. p. That would not be busl-
ness.
Cannot Seize Land
Mr.. Fleming said yesterday it would
be impossible for Gaffey to seize the
land under the law designated, but
for the benefit of those who are not
familiar with the law he asked that
all harbor enthusiasts be assured.
''Nobody knows what Mr.. Gaf6ey
wants with that land" he said, "but
the building Of 10x14 warehouse
will never give him title to it."
Commenting on the erection of the
so.called warehouse the San Pedro
News Thursday said:
ut has been reported that John t.
Gaffey has caused to be erected a 10x
14-foot building on the new fill north
of Smiths island. Ostensibly this
building is to be used as storage
house for shells which will be ground
and used for chicken lime.
This information was given, so it is
stated to the News, by Contractor Raj

WOMEN'S LEAGUE TO
HAVE $4,000 HOUSE
FOUNDER OF ORGANIZATION
PROMISES FUNDS
Plan to Have Public Defender, as Well
as Prosecutor, Advocated by
Clara Shortrdge FoItz,
Local Attorney

The Los Angeles chapters of the
American Federated Womens league
held a festival in Symphony hail.
Blanchard building, last night, in com
memoration of three notable events in
the annals of the organization. The
most important of these was the an
nouncement that the Los Angeles
chapter would shortly have the finest
chapter-house in the United States, as
e. G.. Lewis, the founder of the move
ment, has promised to donate $4,000
site and erect a $4,000 clubhouse as
soon as the membership reaches the
1000 mark. Yesterday was also the an
niversary of the birth Of e. q. Lewis,
and it was announced that Mrs. Pearl
Adams Spalding. Pacific coast man
ager had been promoted to the posi-
tion of head of the organization de
partment of the United States, with
headquarters in University City, Mis-
souri,.
A delightful program was rendered,
including an address on "The Purposes
of the American Women's League" by
A. D. Wheeler, one of the founders OF
fhe movement. Madame Eveline Ro-
berti, formerly of Paris, sang MasslhI 5
grand aria of Salami and later rem
dered on the piano the "Scarto Ca
price" one of her own compositions.
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, in a
speech which evoked great applause
from her auditors. advocated the es-
tablishment in office of a pubic ue-
fender i'm contradistinction to the
prosecuting attorney, in order to give
the presumably innocent prisoner an
even break at the bar of justice. Mrs.
Foltz has prepared a bill embodying
this idea, which she will endeavor TO
have introduced at the coming session
of the legislature of California, prof.
ect in which she will have the supporI
of the national body OF the Federateu
Women's league.

''Mr. Todd always seemed to take

Frank Allander, attorney for Keyes,
after the completion of the prosecu-
tion's case, made a plea for the dis
missal of the case. Before he con-
cIuded there was hardly dry eye In
the courtroom. He recited the facts
of the case, of how the mother hau
pleaded with her boy not to leave home
and how she had put her arms around
him after he had started to leave and
brought him back to where the accl-
dent happened.
After a few minutes deliberation
