These results, from tests conducted by
Thomas a. Edison over average
country roads Of New Jersey, Long
Island and Staten Island, prove his
contention that the electric vehicle
with proper battery equipment is the
car of the present and the tuture-the car
that the average citizen can afford to
own and maintain and that the veriest
novice can operate.
In these tests, in each instance, the route
was mapped out beforehand; the car was then
given maximum charge Of the battery and
sent out over the route, always returning to
the starting point: after completing the
schcduled run the car was then run to stand
still to completely exhaust the battery in order
to show just what ercess mileage it still re-
tained-the margin Of certainty.

Formerly 50 miles was considered a good
day s run with an electric vehicle. Note that
the minimum mileage obtained on these trips
was 1l7.9 miles, over hilly country, and the
maximum liz. miles, over fiat country-on
a single charge Of the battery.
Neither Mr.. Edison nor the Edison Stor-
age Battery Company has any interest in the
manufacture of the four vehicles now regularly
equipped with the Edison Storage Battery
Detroit. Bailey, Baker and Waverley-other
than to establish the fact that the family type
ofelectric vehicle with Edison Battery Equip
ment is now taking its place in the front rank
of the automobile field.
The public is warned against certain
class of agents who, to make the price of their
vehicles seem more attractive, recommend a
lead battery. The Edison Battery has several
times the life Of lead battery and twice the
mileage for the same weight.

Georgia's Wealth in Pecans.

a dispatch from Albany published re-

Within the last four months 1900 acres of
pecan lands had been sold in and around
Dougherty county. Preparations are un-

regarding this especial industry has lately
changed from one OF a selling nature to

I is said there is an actual famine of

there are still large unoccupied tracts i'm

Pines, then by way of the Williams
burg road to Toano, thence to Halseys
Point and on to Newport News. This
way eliminates several miles of round
about roads Newport News and ad
jacent cities and towns agree to take
charge Of the road work through the
counties Of Warwick, York and James
City If Richmond will look after the
remainder.
Motorists in Kentucky are preparing
a petition to the state legislature to
have a state highway commission
created.
A four-mile automobile boulevard 70
feet in width has been proposed tor tn
borough Of Queens, n. Y. The propose
road, which, 1t Is said, will cost s1,OCO,0tG
to construct, will run from que. nsboru
bridge, in Long Island City, through
hhiside avenue, Jan.ai.a, ana on - ..i~
southern limits Of the borough OF Queens.
The plan calls for the elimination or
grade crossings of the Long island rail
road and a boulevard 2oO feet In width.
Fifty per cent of the cost of its const NC
ton is to be paid by the city, 30 per cent
by the borough of Queens and - per
cent by the property owners a.ong the
pl opposed route 1t is also recommended
that q parkway 116 feet wide shall be
maintained in the center OF the boulevard.
which shall be maintained py the lark
department OF the city. This will give a
roadway of forty-two feet in width on
either side.
Quietness is quality much sought afte
in motor cars today. \ few years ago
many makers imagined that quietness
meant muffler efficiency. The better the
muffier the more was the sound OF the
explosion hushed up and consequently the
better the car. The days of quietness
produced by the muffler are over, and
| there are scores of different muller de-
| signs that all will satisfactorily munle
the explosion. But quietness has not
stopped with the perfection OF the muf-
| tier. There is another quIetucss that Is
more desirable In q car than even ef-
fective si.encing of the exhaust; 1t is the
workmanship, the qu.etness that comes
from the most scientific design and the
uuietneSs that comes from a shrewd study

In order to settle the vexing question
as to the injury done to macadamized
roads by the action Of rapidly revolving
automobile wheels, the war department Of
France has set aside the road from
Champisny to Quene-en-Brie for a series
of practical tests to be begun at once.
Automobile drill is now a part of the
regulations of the Boston, Mass, fire
department. Fire Commissioner Daly in
tends that the motor equipment of the
Boston department will rank among TIE
best in the country and. having ace1
q new combination wagon in one of the
houses, he has ordered members of the
department to take lessons in motoring.
The drill s embrace the work Of driving
and caring for motor cars and the han
ding of fire equipment. and these have
been made a part OF the regular depart
ment drills. Commissioner DAILY intends
to add other machines to the Boston
department. and he wants to have men
enough capable of handling the machines
from the moment they are installed, and
in this way be certain that they will be
kept at their maximum efficiency. 1t is
believed that Boston is the first city TO
make automobile drills regular part
of its work.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June S.-Pete
Anderson, W. r. Taylor and Charles
McGonigle, who were with Tom Lloyd
when he reached the summit of Mt.
Mckinley April 8, arrived at Fairbanks
today with the announcement that
they climbed the mountain a second
time, reaching the summit May II.
They corroborated in every detail the
story of the first ascent as told by
Lloyd. tt ,9tr
These men did not return to Fair
banks with Lloyd in April, but re-
mained at Katishna, in the foothills of
the mountain At the request of
Lloyd they retraced their steps up the
mountanside to take more photo
graphs to be used as proofs to be sub
mitted to the committee of the Order
of Pioneers of Alaska, appointed to
investigate Lloyd's story
1t took the men month to attain
the summit over the trail staked by
the party on the fist ascent. Upon
reaching the summit, May II, they
found the flag left there six weeks be-
fore intact and the Flagstaff firmly inn
planted in the rocks that had been
piled around it. The climbers left pro-
visions in camp along the trail for the
use of any party that wishes to verify
their story by following the route take.,
by them.
Prospectors just returning from the
vicinity of Mount Mckinley bring ad-
ditional veriflcation of the stories told
by Lloyd and his associates. They
say that the flag is plainly visible from
the foothills
The Northern Commercial company g
agent at Kuskowim says. the flag on
the summit of Mount Mckinley is also
visible from that side of the mountain.

SENATORS VISIT PRESIDENT
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Juno S-SeVeral eX-
Elkins and Aldrich and Representative
Mann of Illinois preparatory to for
mai conference on the railroad bill
took place today. 1t was generally un-
derstood that the conferees would meet
tomorrow, although no call for the
meeting was issued.
Senators Aldricd and Crane visited
the White House tonight and talked
with the president concerning changes
he might desire in the senate bill,
which practically was approved by him
in mis- message to congress yesterday.
The general understanding is that
the senate and house leaders will get
together on the subject matter to be
taken from the two bills before action
is taken formally By the conferees. If
this course is pursued, it Is likely the
only question to be voted on in the
two houses would be the adoption OF
the conference report.
Insurgent members of both the sem
ate and the house fear to have the sub
ject come before them in that manner,
as they think it would give too great
opportunity for the elimination of pro-
gressive features incorporated through
an alliance between Democrats and in
surgents in the senate bill.
At an informal conference of insur-
gent senators today they pledged them
selves to fight against the adoption of
the conference report should it take
away any of the advantages which they
claimed to have forced into the bill in
the interests of the shippers.

Stenographer

NEW YORK, June S-A squad of de-
tectives is searching the city for clews
to the whereabouts of Esther Mearson,
a 16-year-old stenographer, whose
strange disappearance while in search
of employment has led her parents to
the belief that she is either being de-
tained somewhere against her will or
his been murdered.
According to the police, the case re-
sembles in many features that of Ruth
Wheeler, who was murdered in the
rooms of Albert Wolter a few weeks
ago. while seeking employment as a
stenographer.
The Mearson girl disappeared Mon
day, and the search for her was begun
late Monday night. The family turned
over to the detective bureau several
newspaper lists of help wanted adver
tisements which she had consulted
With those lists as a basis for their
Investigations the detectives have be-
gun a canvass in the Office districts to
see if they can get some trace of places
where the girl called, looking for work
