NEW TRIUMPH FOR EDISON
Storage.battery Cars Cross The City
Of New York.

New York; Especially = Thomas
A. Edison flashed another brilliant
invention on the world when the
first street car using his new stor-
age battery in practical operation
travelled in place of the antiquated
horse cars back and forth across
Manhattan Island on Twenty-eighth
and Twenty-ninth streets. Though
it had been known for nearly a year
that Mr.. Edison, after many years
of endeavor, had perfected an i'm
proved storage battery for surface
car use, this public trial was the first
demonstration that his invention
could make money. In fact, he not
only proved that street car company
using the new car could make money,
but more money than it could make
with horse cars or trolley cars
Thus was sounded in New York
the doom of the horse car. and, per-
haps. the doom of the trolley car.
The horse car will be abandoned by
the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth
street lines, and within three months
they will have in operation the Eii-
son storage-battery cars.

The circumstances surrounding the

Peking 10 take over the government
FROM the provisional governors who
were appointed following the inva-
sion of the Holy City in 1904 by
Col. Sir Francis Edward Younghus-
band at the head of British col
umn when Great Britain secured
from Tibet certain concessions in the
matter of trade and in that of the
foreign returns of the country. The
Dalai Lama was installed at the pal
ace and monastery of Potala amid
popular demonstrations. The ruler,
who was again given civil power
along with his office at the head of
the Lamaist hierarchy. pardoned all
the Tibetans who had given aid to
Colonel Younghusband and all went

The the Dalai Lama protested
to the Chinese Amban in charge of
the military affairs, because of the
eXcesses of the Chinese troops on
the Sze-Chuen frontier, where they
were sacking the monasteries and
killing the monks. This protest
served to stir up the whole question
of the status of Tibet. The Amban
declared that it was a Chinese prov
ince and said that he would deal
with the rebels on the frontier as
it pleased him to do. Other ques-
tions of authority arose, and finally
the Amban ordered into Lhasa,
$500 Chinese troops, who were en-
camped at the outskirts of the capi-
tai.
A few companies composed of the
Dalai Lama's followers were hastily
enrolled under the name of golden
soldiers" They opposed the Chi
nese troops, but, being indifferently
armed, were shot down with much
hloodshed. Meantime the Dalai
Lama with three of his ministers
and so retainers fed through a gate
at the rear of the palace enclosure
and were fired upon as they escaped

posts are in great danger of being

Atlantic City, N. ]. Especially =
Jane Adams, the young girl whose
body was found in the surf on the
morning of February 13, tumbled
| over the rail of the million-dollar
pier into the ocean while backing
away from William Seyler during a
quarrel, according to the statement
of the man made to the police. AL
though Seyler refuses absolutely to
admit that he was attempting to as
sault the girl when she met her
tragic death, the police still hold to
this theory, and are working to es-
tabllsh a case that will warrant them
in holding Seyler for murder. Un-
der New Jersey laws, attempt at as
sault which results in death of the
victim is considered murder, and this
law will be invoked by County Pros
ecutor Goldenburg in his effort to
hold Seyler for Indictment and trial
The substance of Seyler's confess
sion made public by he police is to
the effect that the girl met her death
by accident. Seyler declares that he
saw her back toward the railing and
suddenly tumble backward into the
ocean. The man declares that he
hurried down the ladder leading to
the waters edge in the hope of grab
bing the girl, but that she never
came up.
The man insisted that he had no
intention of assaulting the girl, but
has made no satisfactory statement
regarding the cause of the quarrel
that led her to run from him.
Il never intended to harm Jane
Adams" he declared after the po-
lice had broken down his nerve and
impressed him with the necessity of
explaining his part in the tragedy.
Jane backed away toward the rail-
ing and the next minute l saw her
fall. She screamed as she went
over the rail and l ran for the ladder
intending to jump overboord if nee
essary, but she sank like a stone
and never saw her again.
The spot pointed out by Seyler
as the place where the tragedy oc-
Cured is directly over the boat
landing of the pier, where the police
found what they believe to be blood
stains. Seyler also joins with the
police in the theory that the girls
body struck the landing in its fall
causing the terrible bruising of her
face and the deep scar over her eye,
which surgeons declare to have been
enough to have caused her death.
