BILLIONS OF HORSE POWER
Enormous Amount Of Electric Eneruy
Developed In the Central Sta
tions Of America.

Twelve billion horsepower That is
the combined electrical power output
Of the 1900 central stations in the
United States. Can you conceive what
these figures actually mean? asks the
Electrical News.
One literal soul to whom the ques-
tion was recently put objected that
there aren't that many horses in the
world"
There are not The objection was
perfectly sound But the fact remains
that the power output Of this countrys
central stations is just about equal to
the energy Of those twelve billion by
pothetical equines.
And that is not one-half OF the total
electrical power produced in the
United States. The twelve billion to.
tai Includes only public service com
panies and does not include the great
steam railroad and manufacturing
companies which produce and use
their own power The total power thus
produced is easily double the output
OF the central stations.
1t is little difficult for the mind to
grasp what such vast amounts Of pow
en- really mean. Take It this way. The
largest standard locomotive which pull
the fastest passenger trains are rated
at about 5000 horsepower. It would
take nearly 5,O0O,O0O Of these big To-
comotives to equal the energy pro-
duced by American electrical power
stations. Take the biggest transatlan-
tic liner, nearly a thousand feet long
With It's engines rated at 10000 horse
power. To equal the electrical power
output Of the United States would
take 342s57 of these liners. with a
combined length that would reach
more than twice around the globe.
The figures Of the census OF 1910 on
the electrical industry are astounding.
and set these statistics are admittedly
incomplete
THE growth Of electrical industries
has been so rapid" recently declared
DR.. Schuyler skaats Wheeler, that
no method has yet been devised by
the government census takers to clas.
sify its ramifcatlons in the census Of
manufactures No matter 10 what ex-
tent the steam railroads electrify.
they are still classified under steam
railroads The thousands of poles used
to string wires are classified under
the lumber industry The great cop.
per companies. producing practically
exclusively for electrical industries.
are classified under the copper indus
tries"
Or, Wheeler estimates that the to-
tal business In electrical machinery in
the United States was in the neigh
borhood Of ss000OO,0O0 for 1912 This
estimate seems conservative when we
realize that the last census reported
the total business for 1909 at s249, ,O0O..
600.
Facts and figures like these make
one realize how rapidly and com
pletely the practical application Of
electrical power is reyolutionizing all
modern life and industry

RIVAL GANGS FIGHT
BATTLE IN STREETS
One Faction Uses Trolley Gar

New York, Dec. 13.-Fifty shots
were fired near the Fourth avenue EN-
trance of Madison Square Garden In
a conflict between two gangs that
infested the garden during the six-day
bicycle race. A Madison avenue
street car was commandeered by one
element as a barricade, while bullets
whistled IN all directions.
Passengers threw themselves face
downward VI the floor. The police
were prompt in reaching the scene
but the combatants jumped into auto
mobiles and escaped. So far as Ii
known no one was hurt, a remarkable
fact in view of the promiscuous
shooting. t is said that the trouble

LA Toilette PLANS COUP
Wants Followers in Wisconsin to De

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. Ex-senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette is said to be
planning a bold coup in this state in
the coming campaign, the plans for
which will be sprung on his followers
at the conference which is to be held
in Madison in a few days.
1t is the plan of Senator La Toilette
that his followers shall come out as
the open advocates of woman suffrage
for Wisconsin and that the woman
suffrage question shall be made one
of the cardinal planks in the coming
La Toilette campaign in Wisconsin.
In fact, it is believed Senator La Fol
lette is willing that the coming battle
between th' La Toilette people and
the McGovern following shall be
waged on the woman suffrage issue
II is the idea of Senator La Toilette
that Governor McGovern will support
the opposition to woman suffrage and
that the question will thus become a
definite dividing line between the two
factions OF the Republican party.

west mounted police and other sources
received here there is disposition to
believe that Stefansson, the explorer,
who has reported that he has lost his
ship, the Karluk, has not been treated

The opinion is that the Karluk has
lost Stefansson rather than that
Stefansson lost the Karluk. 1t is
known here that there was trouble
on the Karluk on the way up the
coast to the Arctic.
The authority of Stefansson as lead
er of the expedition was disputed. The
chief source of quarrel was over the
question of supplies. The Karluk was
not provisioned as it would have been

POLITICAL LEADER NEVER AT A CONVENTION

II IL a remarkable fact that 50 far
as tho recollection Of any Democrat
In Texas goes Mr. House never at
tended a political convention In this
state. He was never present at DO
litical gathering OF any kind. He was
never seen about the capitol when the
legislature was In session, although
he has had a great deal to do with
the shaping OF the laws during the last
20 years. About the only time he
was seen in the big granite building
where the seat Of government is To-
Gated was when Mr.. Culberson was
elected United States senator. Even
on that momentous occasion he occu-
pied an inconspicuous seat ia the gal
lery and hurried away from the
throng as soon as the formalities of
the election were over. Notwithstand-
ing his power in state politics and
the fact that he was responsible more
than any other one man or set Of
men for election of three govern
ors, he never visited them in their Of
fee more than once or twice.
If Mr.. House should give any pub
lie expression on the subject of his
unofficial connection with the Wilson
administration, he would doubtless
disclaim influence in the appoint
ments to public Office that have al
ready been made or those that may
be made. His close political friends
in Texas, however, give him credit for
the naming of Albert Sidney Burle-
son as postmaster general, and of
David F. Houston as secretary of
agriculture. 1t is also asserted that
Mr. House acted as intermediary be-
tween Col. William ]. Bryan and Pres
ident Wilson, and it was through his
efforts largely that Col Bryan was In
duced to accept the state portfolio.

SHUKRI PASHA, REAL HERO OF ADRIANOPLE

tary geniuses that ever lived From
the outset of the attack on Adrianople
his soldiers came TO love him like a
father, and his portrait shows him as
he actually is-shrewd. Vigilant. deter
mined, a man of iron courage, shorn of
all illusions. but with infinite kindli
ness OF character and heart.
Never was a siege conducted more
rigorusly than that concentrated on
Adrianople. From the outset no single
scrap of reliable information was al
lowed to leak out to the waiting civil
lied world. One fact alone gave the
anxious Turks in the capital comfort.
That was the assurance OF those with
positive knowledge that Adrianople
was the one spot in Turkey on which
military funds had been properly ex-
pended. and that Adrianople was prac-
tically impregnable TO all forces at the
command OF King Ferdinand and his
friends.
