acter and Democrat in every sense
of the word.
Realizing that the Democratic ma.
chine is loaded against the people and
against his candidacy, Pomerene Is
making his appeal directly to the
people. He has announced a speaking
campaign to cover every part OF the
state and has challenged Hanley TO
debate the question OF the senator.
ship.
Pomerone hopes by exposing the
conspiracy between big business
and the Democratic bosses OF the state
TO so stir up the people that the leg
islature will not dare elect Hanley,
even II so disposed.
Popular sentiment is largely for
Pomerene. In primary neither Han
ley nor any other man OF his type
would have the slightest chance, as
Ohio is frankly progressive and has
had it's fill OF big business senator
The position of Gov. Harmon rs
causing much criticism. He is main
tanning a neutral attitude. People are
saying that this is the time for Gov.
Harmon to show the real quality OF
his leadership and TO protect the state
from Democratic senator who would
be more subservient to big business"
and privilege than even the repudiats
ed Senator Dick
The point is made that Harmon is
afraid of the bosses behind Hanley
that he is keeping his hands off so
that these bosses will deliver to him
a solid Ohio presidential delegation.
There is no doubt that Harmon will
lose much of his popularity If he per-

CROOK TRIES TO
BRIDE DETECTIVE
Offers Detective Golden $3.50 Dia-
mond For Liberty-Wanted in Ohio
For Breaking Parole.

Detective Jacob Golden, of the third
precinct station. might be sporting a
$3.50 diamond stud today If he were
a less scrupulous officer. A young
man giving his name as John Helder-
hindge. who has since been identified
as Charles O'Mally, wanted in Mans
field, o., for violating a parole, offered
Golden the stud as the price of his
liberty, but the officer refused TO be
tempted.
O'Mally and another young man
giving his name as James Howard
were picked up on suspicion by De
tectives Golden and Bandemer. Mon
day The officers were out working
on the recent east-side safe-cracking
Jobs and saw the pair looking into the
windows OF business houses in the
vicinity of Gratiot-ave. and Rivard-
st. On the approach of the officers,
one of the men started to move on,
and as he passed the other said some
thing in a low voice Both OF them
then started to walk hastily away. but
were quickly overhauled by the detec-
tives and taken to the third precinct
station.
sit was just after the prisoners had
sbeen transferred to the first precinct
station that O'Mally attempted to
bride Officed Golden. AS he was be-
ing escorted to his cell, O'Mally called
attention to the sparkler in his cravat
and observed:
THAT would look pretty good on
you
do you think so?" returned Golden,
seeking to lead thief elbow on.
Yes, and If you'll just step outside
with me we might try 1t on"
Golden allowed the prisoner to con-
tinue i'm this strain until he says,
O'Mally offered to give the gem to
him If he were let go. Golden took
the diamond, but he turned II over to
the property clerk. and the steel door
closed on O'Mally, or Helderhidge, he
was then known, for 1t was not until
later tina. he was identified as OMally.
Police Photographer Carmody spotted
him at once.
O'Mally also wore q large sparkler
on his finger and at first refused TO
give 1t up on the ground that 1t was
his personal property. When ordered
10 take 1t off the ring would not slip
over his finger and it was necessary

ate him from II.
The other man. Howard, put up a
strong bluff to the effect that he was
q prominent business man from an
other city who had come here TO keep
an engagement with a Detroit society
woman.
"There'll be a great scandal IL you
lock me up" he warned. but the po-
lice are still waiting for the sensation
to materialize
II was first thought that the men
might know something of the Bull

Detective Mcdonnell says they are
not the sort TO undertake jobs OF this
nature. They are held, however. pend

ED|sON's TR0LLEYLEss
CAR GIVEN FIRST TRIAL

II. =
WEST ORANGE. n, j.. Jan. 22.-Tests
were made today Of Thomas A. Edison's
storage battery car on the tracks of the
Public Service company. Among the
interested observers were a number OF
men of the Public. Service trolley sys-
TENS. and they agreed with Edison that
he has made great strides toward the per-
lection of a street car that can be run
cheapIy and practically without the use
OF current wires.
When. the first tests were made Edison
was not present, so conhdentJwas he that
he would get a favorable report from
the men who ran the cars He told them
TO go ahead and he would not leave his
work in the laboratory. Later, however,
he visited the scene of the experiments
and took a ride in the car. t
AS he rode over the stretch of track
Edison was looking out of the car win
dow. He saw two youngsters pointing to
the car going along without trolley
pole. Edison smiled and turning to fthe
man who sat at his side said: q
when you were kid'iike those your
eyes were just as big when you saw your
first car going along the street without
horses. Those youngsters will live to see
the day when there will be no cars but
this kind on the tracks of street rail
ways" t.Es. ..s-..f. ~ q
The experimental trip was made, with
Benjamin. Beach, a nephew of Ralph II.
Beach, who.helped Edison on the battery,
at the controller. The car attained a
maximum speed of 20 miles an hour and
responded in every way to the tests put
upon it. s-rt 60. II
The experimental car is Is feet long and
feet inches wide. 1t is equipped with
two z 1-2-horsepower motors, and charged
to the full capacity of the batteries it will
run $50 miles without a renewalaof the
charge Edison's car weighs about five
tons, or half that of the ordinary trolley
car. ...,.3 .-- p :,
The car was housed in the barns of the
Public Service company after the tests
and further trials will be made from
time 10 time. Edison meant to make a
test run to Philadelphia within short
time, but was. disappointed today to learn
from a Public Service man that it will
be impossible as the gauge of the tracks

+ Edison is working now on car heater
which he says will surpass in radiating
power and cheapness any that have yet
been produced.
The cost of operating the new car is
