which, with the heavy through trains
prevailing throughout this district
combine to tax both the firemen and the
engines, as limited by ,the ability of
the firemen, to the limits of their ca
pacity.
Whatever limitations may have been
placed on the engine because of the
physical incapacity of the fireman have
been effectively removed and whatever
shortcomings now attend the perform
ance of locomotives on these lines are
strictly accountable from the mechani-
cal standpoint.
simultaneously with the concentrS-
ton of greater power within a single
unit and the emancipation of the fire
man from his back-breaking toll, there
arise other commendapIe features. Pro
perIy designed apparatus, if handled
correctly, gives practically smokeless
combuStion; the CRATES and the ASH pan
are eliminated and the front end mt
tings are much siS plif1ed; running is
made safer because of the assistance
received by the engineer in reading sig
nails; terminals are more cleanly, due to the
absence of coal and ashes: hre r1Sn

minimum-a single feature that IS
nron,ptine the extensive adoption Of oil
burners in the Pacific Northwest ana
elsewhere, even though satisfactory
coal supply is available; less capital is
involved in fuel transportation, storage,
and handling facilities than when coal
is used, and a greater degree Of salts
faction with operating conditions gener--
aliy on the part of both officers and
men is the natural result. Taking INTO
account the brief period of time dur
ing which the locomotive oil burning
system was developed and the entire
adequacy of the equipment represent
ing the elimination of that develop
ment, this work may fairly rank as
one Of the hest achievements in mod
ern railway mechanical engineering.

BOLT CAUSES PANIC.
Lightning Strikes Church in Which
Commencement Is Held.

Highstown, N. J., June 13.-The first
day of commencement week at Peddie
institute, a Baptist preparatory school
here, came near ending tragically last
night when lightning struck the steeple
of the Baptist church, where more
than a thousand persons were crowded
together to hear the annual orations of
the graduating class Panic reigned
when the bolt struck and shattered the
200-foot steeple and sent it crashing to
the earth. Instantly every light in the
building was extinguished and the up
per part of the structure caught fire in
a dozen places.
A panic which might have resulted
in the death of many was averted by
the cool headed orchestra leader, who
directed his men to strike up 1.-THE

THE OLD BELL.
Washburn Relic Stolen From
New Belfry.
Supposed That Glass Of 1910 Is
Responsible.
THERE is 4 REASON.
Members We're Robbed of Honor
Of Mounting Bell.
Now Demand a Division of the
Glory"

The old bell at Washburn college has
disappeared again.
Where it has gone no one knows.
Who took it-no one really knows but
everyone suspects.
1t was stolen last night from it's
lege campus. Together with a huge
stone weighing 500 pounds it was lift
ed from the new miniature belfry con-
structed on the campus and taken to
parts unknown.
1t is suspected that members of the
class of 1910 in Topeka took the bell
from the campus.
Here is the cause for suspicion.
This year the class Of 1911 stole the
bell and hid it away for many months
Then suddenly it appeared on the cam
puS after stone maSonS had built q
huge masonry belfry for it on the cam
puS. The class of 10 and the class OIL
IL are not on good terms. Last year
subscribed a fund to mount the old
bell. They obtained permission from
the president and had the money raised
for the purpose. They waited on the
advice of the president until the col
lege landscape gardener had chosen
site.
While they were still waiting the
class of Ii took the bell one dark
night and hid it away in the wilds OF
the Shunganunga. Then they Dullt a
Deity 1Or the Dell anu udo IL AIAOuhtCA
in time for commencement week. Nat
urally the class of 1910 was miffed and
no wonder-no one likes to have his
thunder stolen.
Now the bell has been stolen again.
1t is supposed this time that the CID
members of the class of 10 still har-
boring their grudge and their defeat
have gathered together in Topeka and
last night they gathered in the bell and
put it in a safe place.
If Is understood also that they have
agreed to return it only upon one con-
sideration-that is, that the class of IL
place a tablet on the newly construct
ed belfry-said tablet to tell the public
that the class of 1910 as well as the
class of 1911 deserves credit for the
campus memorial.
The graduating class this year is III
dignant over the theft of their prize
gift to the college. The faculty is up
in arms also, it is understood, even
though they realize that the class OF
III probably did wrong in erecting the
BELLS new home when it had been
planned by the last year class.
Meanwhile the bell will be held as for
ransom. Each side refuses to give in.
And the bell is nowhere to be found.
But it is all a part of college life.

No More Fear as to Locomotive
Size Limits.
Fuel Question Is Now Thing
of the Past.
OIL SOLVES PROBLEM
Drawn of the Fireman Is Re-
quired No More.
Other Items of General Interest

in Traffic World.

In view of results attained on the
locomotive testing plant at the St
Louis exposition in 1904, a serious ques-
ton arose as to whether or not the
limit in size and capacity of locomo-
lives had been reached, due, not to
limitations in the possibilities of de-
sign. but owing to the physical inca
pacity of the fireman to handle the
large amol nts of fuel necessary to en-
able the engine to deliver an appre-
ciably greater amount OF power, says
The Railway Review. This conjecture,
as has been amply demonstrated, was
quite without foundation. Not being
daunted by the mere magnitude of the
Job our engineers have attacked the
problem with such vigor that, while 1t
is not yet by any means solved, thu
fear of limitation in the capacity OF
locomotives because of difficulties from
the fuel standpoint has been thorough
ly dispelled.
Aside from the vast improvements be-
ing made in the methods of utilizing
the fuel whereby a greater portion OF
its latent energy is made available for
useful work, the automatic stoker, as
everyone believes, is about to make
possible the effective handling of more
than q sufficient amount OF fuel for the
largest locomotive yet projected under
conditions of it's maximum effort, put
ting the strain on the intelligence OF
the fireman rather than on his Drawn,
which former, it is only fair to believe,
is the more extensible.
The future of the stoker was for many
years problematicaL It's success seems
now assured. but even were the rail-
ways to be deprived of it's helpfulness,
there would still remain the admirable
system which our southwestern roads
have developed for the utilization of
Crude and fuel oils for locomotive fuel
purposes, which within thfe last i've
years has demonstrated it's capacity to
maintain steam pressure under mora
severe requirements than the automatic
stoker or any other device is likely to
be called u1on to do.
The fact that the usual equipment
will maintain pressure under conditions
requiring the simultaneous and contin-
of the possibilities of this equipment,
and contrasts wildly with the best that
may be expected of the coaI-fired en-
CINE. That the development and per-
lection of oil burning equipment has
outstripped that of the mechanical
stoker is due to local conditions in the
region in which it's development took
place and to the fact that the me-
chanism involved is practically insig-
nificant in comparison, making expert
ment correspondingly easier and less
expensive.
The local conditions referred to as
Fastening the perfection of an oil burn
ing system were ideal in that the re-
gion in which the work was done is one
in which a sufficient quantity of suit

to obtain, while on the other hand, oil

HOT WEATHER HIKES PRICE.
Potatoes, Fruit and Berries Higher;
Melons Will Be Cheap.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 13.-The rec
ord-breaking heat wave of the past
fortnight has had the effect locally
and practically throughout the Missis-
sippi valley of boosting prices on
produce, fruit and berries approx
mately so per cent. AS an instance,
lew potatoes which sold a week ago
at 81 a bushel wholesale, yesterday
were quoted by commission merchants
at S1.75 and were scarce.
The only cheer in the situation IS
the announcement that watermelons,
peaches and catalogues promise to be
plentiful, of excellent quality and
cheap, with the early crop beginning
to arrive.

BOMB RoUTs 200 GREEKS.
Tenement Owner Quits Paying for

New York, June 13.-Two hundred
Greeks in a five story tenement on East
Eleventh street, were routed from their
beds and driven in panic to the fire es-
capes early today by a bomb explo-

vello, on the ground floor.
The explosion shattered the walls of
the building but did not harm any of
the tenants.
Zivello admitted to the police that he
had been paying blackmail in small
sums to Black Hand men for three
years. Recently he said, he determined
to ignore the letters, and on Sunday
night a bomb was set in front of his
store but went out before it exploded.

EXTEND sToPOVER PRIVILEGES
Stop Anywhere Regardless of 15-Day
Time Limits.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and Illinois Central railways have an
nounced that a new stopover privilege
scheme has been made whereby pas
sengers between Missouri river points
and Chicago may stop anywhere upon
round "trip tickets, regardless of the
15-day limit of the time of going, to
apply until the end of thu summer
rate season, October 81.
The Union Pacific has adopted the
same plan in regard to tickets between
Ogden, Cheyenne, wyoming, Denver,
Lincoln and Topeka. and it is believed
that other roads will eventually come
in on the plan. The Sunset route has
had this rule in operation for several
weeks to New Orleans and finds the
plan entirely satisfactory.
