His Standing Renders Any

Citizens Of nj. Vernon
VIII Secure The Manufacture
OF The Engine Here

For the Information OF any OF our
citizens who have not had the benefit
of hearing Prof. Hitchcock or examin-
ing the signed report in the Office
of the Augustine Co. in Room 8, Sipe
building, the following quotations
from the report will be interesting.
Throughout all the trials the en-.
gine ran very. smoothly and prac.
tically noiselessly. There was no
racing. showing that the engine had
the governor well under control.
"'rhe results show that the use Of
a condenser and super-heated steam
has marked beneficial effect, the
same as in the reciprocating engine.
Comparing the results for econ
omy obtained on this unit with the
reciprocating engine Of about the
same capacity when working under
similar conditions, 1t is observed that
the steam consumption is practically
45 pounds and is within the field
OF that of the reciprocating engine
which has steam rate per developed
horse power of from 80 to 55 pounds
and higher in exceptional cases.
Some of the advantages of this
type Of engine are the following:
"These engines ii are. .adaptsdo for
use where human power will be re-
Quired or used to govern them quick
ly, as hosting or quarry engines.
1.-The effect Of the steam is applied
directly without intervening mech
anism for conversion Of motion, avoid
ing loss of motion, friction and costly
fitting. The engine has no dead cen
ter, is compact and capable of high
speeds. There is no danger from
water and will start with solid water
is encased SO that exposure to wealth
or or dirt does no harm and requires
no skill to operate 1t.
"This engine has small volumetriG
clearance and does use its steam ex
pansively."

Excise Tax Bill Goes Sailing Through
Senate
Reciprocity Law Is Repealed. Members Of Upper Branch
Of Congress Take Few Liberties with Measure As
Il Came From House, 10 Hope That Il viii Soon Be
In Shape To Go To President. ..Pomerene Only
Democrat Who Voted For Tariff Board

Washington, July 27.-By a vote OF
36 TO 1S. the united Democrats and
progressives passed the Democratic
excise tax bill extending the corpora.
tion tax to the business Of individuals.
private firms and copartnerships. At.
tached to the measure. also by the
aid Of Republican votes. were amend
ments for the repeal Of the Canadian
reciprocity law, the fixing Of a 81 per
ton tariff on print paper. and for the
establishment Of permanent non.
partisan tariff commission.
The second victory for the Demo
oratic-progressive combination came
after a debate lacking in interest.
The passage Of the excise bill be-
came certain early, and the Republi-
cans offered little opposition to IT,
Senator Borah In fight to have his
income tax bill substituted for the
tax on business lost by a vote Of 80
to 2S. although he mustered to his
support many Of the regular Republi.
cans and four Democrats -Ashurst,
Culberson. Hitchcock and MARITIME.
The Democratic majority stood al.
most solidly against any change in
the house bill that would threaten it's
defeat They declared the tax on
business was clearly constitutional,
while an income tax law had once
been held unconssitutional by the su.
preme court and might again suffer
that fate, until the states ratify the
amendment to the federal constitu-
tion.
On the passage of the excise bill
the Democrats were supported by the
following progreseives and insurgent
Republicans: Bourne, Bristow, Clapp.
Crawford. Cummins. Gronna. Jones,
Kenyon. LaFolletSs. Nelson, Poindex.

Took No Long Chances.

wallop, and mighty nifty way of
handling it. Sullivan Is doing his
road work from Johnson's road house,
in the Bronx. Yesterday he donned a
heavy sweater, a big pair of kicks
and went travelling over the roads
like a sprint champion finishing a
race. After his return he declared
his leg muscles and wind to be in
perfect condition, and that he would
lead the Jersey boy merry dance.
The thing to be is a good guesser
in this fight. To those who follow
Kurtz, the Newark boy looms up the
victor. They remember his recent
fight with Kid Henry at Troy, and all
the things he possesses for fighter.
The same with Sullivan. His admirers
recall the numerous fights he has had
and the decisive way he has won
them All in all, it should be good
fight, and one that should make a
fine after dinner digester. The semi
final of six-round will not be wanting
in action. Joe Tierney and Mickey
Dunn, both boys with an unkindly
feeling toward one another, should
furnish a bout that will key the fight

Duncan to Visit Here Again

George Duncan, the foreign golf
professional. whose dashing style
made great hit with the galleries
when he was here during the fall of
1911, will visit these shores again
next season. For some months past
there have been rumors to the effect
that. not only Duncan. but Vardon,
Braid and Ray, the new open cham
pion of Great Britain. might tour this
country in 1913 There is no chance,
however. according to a man in the
trade who arrived the other day from
a trip abroad, of the three last named
pros coming over. Duncan stated
that he would surely be in America
again, though not before the fall,
when he plans to make a short tour.

BOWLING :.
VEXED ABOUT
N.B.A. FIZZLE
Local Alley Owners Lose Cold
en- Opportunity TO Bring Big
Tournament Here.

With bowling on the wane Newark
a1ley-owners lost the chance Of a life
time TO revive interest in the sport
by passing up the national bowling
tournament. which will now go 10
Syracuse or Rochester, with the
chances favoring the former. all be-
cause the Newark promoters could
not come to terms with the n. 8. A.
officials, a matter Of a few paitrT
dollars, which would have been re-
turned tenfold.
The publicity which Newark would
have gotten out of the tournament
would in itself have repaid those
interested for any outlay of money, 70
say nothing of the harvest of thou-
sands of dollars which would have
been reaped by the business men,
especially those in the centre Of the
city. Other cities have paid big
money for the tournament and l1aEa
been the gamer in the end, but New
ark, with a chance of breaking even
on the expenses, passed it up.
Newark was the logical place to
hold the tournament next Ma-cn, and
the \. B. A. officials made every ef-
fort TO shift it to this city. The
Tuxedo alleys, in Halsey street. were
selected as the place to hold the a.
fair, but the owners terms could MOI
be met. In other places it has alwa5e
been necessary to erect new alleys
for the affair. but under the originaI
plans this would not have been neees--
sary here, a saving of thousands Of
dollars at the outset. A new slogan

hitter, and it is not stretching the
truth to say that the Mighty Swa-
Gina" was afraid of Kayanagh during
the first week of the training trip.
"Who is that youngster?" asked
Swats one day after Marty had exc
cuted a double play unassisted at
first base and raped out five hits in
SO many times at bat.
"Swats" was surprised when told
that the Harrisonian had been
plucked green from tee lots. At that
time Harry was rather stiff and was
worried because Kavanagh was
showing him up. OF course, Paddy
McGuigan's phenom had no chance of
replacing "Swats," but many Of the
Tigers thought that Joe McGinnity
made big mistake when he let Kav-
anagh out and retained Ryerson.
Kavanagh can catch and plays every
position on the field with the excep-
Ftion of pitcher Smith has no doubt
about his ability, but is interested
only in the development of Marty
It is much better for a baseball
player just breaking in to learn the
professional game from the bottom
of the ladder. A minor league club
cannot afford to keep students on
the bench, as does Johnny McGraw.
Trenton would be glad to get Kav-
anagh for another season, but the
Tri-State League is not as fast as
the New York State League. There
fore, if Marty is farmed out. which
will not take place until after the
training trip. it will be to New York
State League club. Ten to one Smith
will hold on to Kavanagh, and he will
make no mistake If he does take such
course
