SAILING CARS.

Consul Thomas H. Norton Of Chemnitz
furnishes the following information con-
cernins the German invention Of . SAIL
ing vehicle for use on highways:
With the increased study of the wind
as a direct factor IN aiding locomotton
in the air. inventors have taken up again
the problem of utilizing the wind for
transportation by land. 1t is true that
early experiments with horseless vehi-
cles included sail wagons as well as
steam wagons, but both at the time
failed to promise any measure Of prac-
ticl utility.
In these days of light construction.
rubber tires, ball bearings and. above all,
solid roads, the conditions are totally
changed.
A German inventor has perfected and
patented a simple sail vehicle which
makes fair progress over good roads and
across sandy stretches, such as a sea
beach. The dominating features in the
construction are lightness and effective
steering facilities.
The present form is q light framework
supporting a saddle and a mast for the
sail. and resting upon four wheels. one
wheel on either side and one before and
one behind. The two latter are Of
larger diameter than the former. and all
are far apart. as Is the practice with
automobile whsels.
The chief popularity IN the device is
the connection of the wheels with one
another. The rear wheel and the right
side wheel are rigidly connected together.
and the same is the case with the front
wheel and the left side wheel. The two
bars are Joined with each
other by means Of An axle or cro6sbar.
the Nttachment at each end being Of .
hingeA type.
A person sitting IN the saddle rests
his feet on this transverse axle, and by
suitable pressure can alter at once the-
relation Of the wheels to the main axis
Of the framework. This arrangement
furthermore leaves his hands completely
free for adjusting the position OF he
sail or using brake.
The whole device has certain light
ness and elegance which win appeal

downfall. is undeniable. That Russia is
anxious to bring about the downfall Of
Aehrenthal is no secret There is no
foreign statesman who is SO cordially de-
tested at St. Petersburg. where he spent
nearly a quarter of century in various
diplomatic capacities.
But there is every reason to believe
that Aehrenthars position is to-day quite
as strong as ever: that he enjoys the
confidence not only of his sovereign. but
also Of his principal patron. the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, who does not per-
ceive the advantage Of making any con-
cessions to Russia. To emphasize this
he has just rejected an invitation to a

Russia S leading statesmen are said to
dread the meetings between the Gar and
the Kaiser. The latter. when he sets
himself out to please. can render himself
most winning. and even those prejudiced
against him find It difficult to resist his
magnetism. That Nicholas succumbs in
measure to this fascination when in
the company of his cousin William is an
established fact. But the influence is
rarely Of lasting character
Therefore it is wrong to attribute undue
importance to the stories asserting that
during the Muscovite rulers recent stay
at Potsdam. an understanding was
reached which deals a death blow to the
triple entente which has existed between
England. France, and Russia ever since
his memorable meeting with Edward VII
at Reval, some two and a half years ago.
Reports to this effect emanate from Ber-
lin. and not from St. Petersburg; and il
Gabriel Hanotaux, former minister of
foreign affairs Of France, has treated
them with a certain degree Of importance
in his last article in the Paris Revue Heb
domadafre, it is rather for the purpose Of
impresstng upon France, England. and
Russia the necessity of vigilance against
the persistent endeavors on the part Of
Germany to break up the triple entente
by alternating one or the other Of the
powers concerned from its allies.
The Chancellor IL Mysterious.
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hoilweg's
reference in the Reichstag to the visit
OF Nicholas was SO mysteriously worded
as to convey the impression that Ger
many's relations with Russia had been
notably strengthened at the expense Of
the triple entente; and the officially in
spired press affected to find additional
confirmation for their stories in Russia's
recent dismantling and razing Of certain
forts along her western frontier. and in
her withdrawal from the latter Of the
bulk Of the armies which she had MAIN |
tained there. But this move had been de- |
upon more than a year ago, not |
by reason Of any confidence in the kai |
sers friendship but because it was fear |
ed that the Russian advanced posts In |
Poland near the frontier might become |
objects Of Turning or enyeloping move |

Equally false have proved the allega-
ion that the Kaiser had managed to
induce Emperor Francis Joseph to sac

lated to affront the members Of the
house of Romanoff, who. at the instance
Of Emperor William, we're to have been
his hosts.
Stress has been laid in Berlin on the
fact that an understanding had been
reached between the Kaiser and the
Car on the subject OF Persia. which pro-
vfded not only for the concession Of great
economic advantages to Germany in the
land Of the Shah, but also for the extern
sion of the Bagdad Railroad to Persia
and the support Of Germany's pretensions
for its control. to which France is op-
posed. and which England cannot toler-
ate. But the principal opponents of this
scheme are the Russians themselves.
But it is not only in Persian that Rus
sian manufacturers regard Germany as
the enemy. The feeling prevails in Rus
sia itself. and among all classes Of the
population. Much Of this animosity
arises from the fact that throughout the
eighteenth century and during the first
half Of the nineteenth century many Of
the principal instruments Of the arbitrary
rule Of the Russian Crown were Germans.
Peter the Great and his SUCCESSORS in
vited thousands Of German co!onists to
settle in Russia. partly with the idea
Of their developing the agricultural and
industrial resources Of the country and
partly in the hope that their example
might tend to civilize the moujik, and
imbue him with principles of industry
and thrift. cleanliness and sobriety.
Intense Hatred Of Germans.
The hatred Of the German for the last
200 years has been SO intense in Russia
that it is idle to place any reliance upon
any treaty that may be negotiated be-
tween the governments Of St Petersburg
and of Berlin. Popular sentiment is be-
coming more and more Of a potent fac

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. L.
The farmers free list bill today
passed the senate. By a vote of
4S to 80 the measure designed
by the democrats of the house to
give to the agricultural sections of
the country advantages not con-
tanned in the reciprocity bill, was
finally adopted after 1t had first
been declared lost by Vice Presi-
dent Sherman.
The first vote was a tie, 80 to
80, and Sherman cast the deciding
vote against 1t.
LaFollette Immediately moved
a reconsideration, which carried.
When a final vote was taken the
tie was broken and the free list
passed.
Has Passed House.
The measure has already pass
ed the house. The senate amend
ed it and concurrence by the
house is necessary before 1t can be
sent to the president.
The free list passed the senate,
as did the wool bill, through a
coalition of the democrats and
progressive republicans.
The progressives, particularly
Senator LaFollette, favored the
measure because they asserted
that reciprocity was for the benefit
almost exclusively of the manurac-
turers and the farmer was left at
the mercy of the railroads and
manufacturers.
The free list provides for the
removal of duties on certain Inn
ports from Canada. OF particu-
lar Importance in the list are
meats and meat products.

WAS JOE TARO
KILLED IN
REVENGE
(By United Press Leased Wire }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, Aug. 1. = Was
Chauffeur Joe Taro killed for re-
venge? Was there a woman in
the case?
A new theory has been evolved
today to account for the strange
death that overlook the Greek
driver who was shot dead in his
car by a passenger Saturday night.
The assailant escaped.
A few days before the tragedy,
it is learned, Taro pursuaded a
young girl of respectable family
to go out JOY riding with him.
This girl lives in the neighbor-
hood where the shooting took
place. Taro's car was heading
directly for 1t.
Taro Fired First.
Taro, 1t develops, fired twice at
his passenger before he was kill
ed. This strengthens the theory
that a relative of the girl was hav-
ing Taro drive to the house to be
identified, that Taro refused to go
farther when he learned the ex-
act address, and that the deadly
duel commenced after the two
men had argued the question out.
If the slayer's motive had been
robbery as first thought, he would
have had the unsuspecting driver
take the car to some quiet out-of-
the-way place where the robbery
could be accomplished.
Is Frequented Corner.
But the corner at Cherry and
Twenty-seventh is light and al
most constantly frequented by
autos. 1t is close by Maiden
Lane where the girl lived.
The assailant employed Taro
from a stand at public corner
downtown and made no effort to
conceal his features and Taro con-
suited with another driver before
starting about the fare to be
charged.

to get additional evidence at that
time through Wilson's own ac-
tions.
Wilson, who is an admitted de-

fessed to the crime, then repudiat-
ed his confession. He first said
that he had felt the desire to kill
coming on him, and that he had
been thinking about Mrs. Cobel
for several days and felt mad
desire to have her. When he
found blood in his tent in the
morning, he said, he knew he was
