Topeka Mans Invention Makes

OLD STYLE BOILER EXPLODED
Standard Type Could Not Stand
Jacobs Pressure.

est i'm Traffic World.

What has been termed by eastern
railway heads as the greatest develop
ment in the late history of locomotives
is the result of the test of the Jacobs
Shupert frebox at Coatsville, Pa, Fri
day afternoon, June q. The test was
conducted before mechanical represen-
tatives of most of the larger railway
lines in this country. After one hour
and two minutes of roaring fire and
after every gallon of water had been
boiled away, the fires were turned out
and the Jacob-Shupert firebox was
as good as new. 1t was declared in
destructible. A standard type of rad1al
stay boiler was tested at the time. 1t
was exploded after eighteen minutes.
This test which has received inter
national attention is of special interest
in railway circles in Topeka. One Of
the inventors, H. w. Jacobs, is assist
ant superintendent of motive power OF
the Santa Fe with headquarters in this
city. He resigned the first of July to
go into counSeling engineering work.

Pennsylvania where the frebox is con-

DR.. w. F. M. Goss, head of the engineer
ing work of the University of Illinois.
The Costville experiment was watch
ed by hundreds of railway men from
over the United States and from other
countries A special grandstand was
built for the event. Motion pictures
were taken of the explosion of the
standard firebox. A special train was
run from Atlantic City where the mas
ter mechanics were in national con-
vention. 1t was one of the big railroad
echanic experiments of the decade
in the east.

TWO CENT RATE IN GEORGIA.
Commercial Travellers Ask for Flat
Mileage in That State.

Atlanta, Ga, June 25.-A fiat pas
senger rate of 2 cents per mile Oh all
railroads in Georgia is asked of the
state railroad commission in an
amended petition filed by attorneys for
the Travellers Protective association
and United Commercial Travellers. as
an incidental to the fight already
started by those associations to com
pei the railroads to pull" mileage
aboard trains instead of at ticket win
dows.
Recently the two associations petit
toned the commission to a~brogate the
rule of the railroads which stopped the
pulling" of mileage aboard trains and
substituted a requirement that mileage
must be exchanged for u ticket at the
station where the traveller boards the
train. The travelling men contended in
their petition (Which is set down for a
hearing later this monthly that the new
rule worked an unnecessary hardship
upon them.
Now they have filed an amendment
to the petition, asking that if the rail-
road commission cannot grant the
original plea, it order q fiat 2 cent
passenger rate for everybody al
through Georgia.
