MAY INVENT NEW FUEL

being installed in 4he output Of cars.
Gasoline. or, as it is calledfin Great
Britain, petrol, has advanced in price
steadily during the last ten years. No
motor organization has done more
towards trying to find out a remedy
for the growing cost of fuel for motor
cars than the Royal Automobile Club.
Resolutions have been introduced to
provide a way for preventing further
increases In price, but when it came
to experimenting on a substitute for
the fuel that has scared to an almost
prohibitive figure in the last few
months the most practical suggestion
came from the Knight engine in
ventor.
Mr.. knight has opened a laboratory

experiments with shale oil and other

UP AGAINST TAFT

JERSEY CITY, June 29.-Resolu-
tons condemning the Chicago con-
vention for alleged steam-roller tac-
tics and declaring in favor of Theo--
dore Roosevelt were adopted last
night by the Republican County Com
mittee. The vote was s99 for the
resolutions and 81 against them.
The meeting had been called by
Chairman Kinney for the purpose. as
stated in the call, to receive the re-
port of the treasurer and to pass
resolutions indorsing President Taft
for reelection. The attendance was
unusually large. The -.ecord and
Rotterdam men were nearly all pres-f
emit. This was a surprise to the fol-
lowers of Colonel Samuel d. Dickin-
son, who are lined up for President
Taft.
That the Roosevelt .Progressives
were in the majority was plain, and
the Dickinson-Taft factions were n
easy. Chairman Kinney. after the
treasurer's report had been read. said
that only forty-eight of the 603 menu
bers had paid their annual dues or
81. He said he would not be adverse
to giving the members a chence to
pay up. No one responded and the
| meeting was resumed.
Chairman Kinney announcing that
as the resolutions to indorse Taft
were not at hand a motion to ad1osrn
would be in order, the motion was
put, and, despite the protest of a
great majority, Chairman Kinney de.
clared It carried. He stepped from
the platform, and, with a number OF
Taft Republicans. left the hall.
The ~Progressives censured Chair
man Kinney's. action and at once re-
organized the meeting, with John
weastell as chairman. The resolu-
tons, which declared that Theodore
Roosevelt had been cheated out pf
the Republican nomination and that
he was the real choice of Republic
cans, were then adopted.
