Device That Has Been Tried Out on
Several Railroads

NankatO railway men have received
information of new stop device which
has been tried out with success on the
New York Central railway and more
recently in Iowa, which device gives
promise, if generally adopted of stop
ping many collisions by making them
almost impossible.
In the test in Iowa two trains were run
head on towards each other and both
trains, when they came within dis
lance of Il half mile, were brought to
a full stop without the throttle or the
brakes being touched by the enginemen.
Tie second test was tried for the pre-.
vcntion OF rear end collision and the
oyertaking train was again stopped be-
fore there was danger of the engine
coming in contact with the rear end
The tests were dramatic i'll the cX-
IRENE, and the device worked in II
manner that seemed miraculous.
The mechanism is 81 arranged that
it operates automatically to set the
brakes and close the throttle by reason
of lcsscning of the electrical resistance
of Tie rails which act az the current
carriers, upon the approach of the
trains within Al certain distance. II is
under stood that the mechanism will he

Now Professor Frelin Must Deal With
the German Government.

Professor Julius T. Frcin of the de-
partment of French at the University
OF Minnesota, who was arrested last
summer in France for failure to per
form military service, and who mas
been negotiating with that government
since his return as to his liability, has
received a letter from the department
of Justice of the French government
freeing him from further obligations,
says The ST. Paul Dispatch.
The decision of the French govern
ment was based on the Frankfort
treaty, following the Franco Prussian
war, which required that residents of
the contested territory of Alsacc, of
which Professor Frclin was a native,
should make their choice between Ger.
many aud France. Professor Frelin s
father chose France and he aud his
children became French citizens. The
department of Justice was unable to
find papers of option of Professor Ere
Inns father, and thus had no claim
to him.
The decision now makes possible the
arrest of Professor Frcln by the Ger
man government. He will immediately
take up his case with that nation
through the American embassy, as he
intends to visit Alsace in the summer
and is aversc to confinement in German
prisons.
Professor Frelin was detained bv a
gendarme at Petit Croix last summer,
taken to the government prison and
confined there for two and half
days. He was released through efforts
of Ambassador White on giving his
word of honor to return to France i
Lis case was not settled.

Before .hc even started for the Kirby
farm, however. he told q Pioneer Press
man. in strict confidence, IA he after
wards told several score other people
in the same way, that he knew the
woman in Kandiyohi county was not
Mrs. Guinness. for he had seen the real
woman in st. Paul.

said. and | am going to make it hot

So the two, Kirby and Ball, went to
the home of the Casey woman, with
different theories. Kirby was sure she
was the right woman. Ball was equally
sure that Belle Guinness was running
at large in st. Paul.
When Ball saw Mrs. Casey he said
an. Kirby was crestfallen, but not
discouraged.
Following the visit to the Kirby
farm the two got together and com-
pared their theories. and Sam Ball
succeeded in convincing Sam Kirby
that Mrs. Guinness is in st. Paul
Also the man from Indiana supplied
the Kandiyohi county man with pic
lures and measurements by which the
real woman might be identified.
Tuesday morning both men caught
the train from Willmar to st. Paul,
Ball on his way home and Kirby still
on the trail of the Guinness woman.
Kirby has full supply of theories and
clues.
Incidentally he is worth $4,000 and
is able to crafty his desire to bring
Mrs. Guinness to justice as soon as he
finds her, which he is sure he will do
within Il day or two. Since yesterday
morning he has been securing Mime
apolis and ST. Paul.
Both men firmly believe that Mrs.
Guinness is in either st. Paul or Min
neapolis, and on the train yesterday
morning they freely predicted that her
arrest will follow within two or three
days.
Ball has returned to Laporte to take
up again his work of repairing bicycles
