Gas Rises.

The patent is based on the theory
that gas rarely rises more than 40
or 30 feet above the top of tank
and the wires are strung 80 feet
above the ground, or GO feet above
the top of the average tank. Where
it is desired they can be placed
higher. They are strung from the tops
of hollow steel poles which are sunk
into a bed of charcoal at the base Of
each. This charcoal serves to ground
the lightning as it passes from the
wires through the poles into the
ground. The patent differs from all
others of a similar design in that the
lightning is conducted through the
poles by means of copper wire,
whereas all others have attempted
to carry the lightning to the ground
in the pole itself This has resulted
in the lightning igniting the gas at
the base of the pole and causing fire
in the tanks in this manner.
The patent has been taken before
the state insurance commissioner
and received his hearty endorsement.
The inventor will next take it be-
fore the national board CT fire under
writer's at Chicago in an effort to
have it recognized and obtain a re-
duction in insurance rates wherever
it is installed 1T is predicted that
the patent will cause a reduction in
oil field rates from 4 per cent to
about IL per cent. Should this
| occur it is estimated that the appa
ratus over each tank will more than
pay for itself in year.

MAGISTRATES ASKED
TO HELP CAMPAIGN
Swami Plans Crusade for Safe
Streets-Reckless Driving Is
Murder, Says Mulqueen.

Police Commissioner Woods. In his
campaign against reckless automobile
driving, has asked for the revocation
Of forty eight licenses of drivers and
owners who are old offenders. Names
are withheld, but, of the forty-eight,
eleven are owners who were convicted
three times for speeding, and five were
convicted for running their cars while
drunk or running away after violating
the motor vehicle law.
Commissioner Woods has made his
first move against these offenders
through the medium Of Secretary Of
State Hugo. Chief Justice Russell Of
Special Sessions. Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo and Commissioner Bell, of the
Bureau of Licenses. To each of these
he has made written requests for CO.
operation In his attempt to rid the
streets Of the drivers by depriving
them of their licenses.
In the cases of the sixteen owners,
the commissioner has written to Chlef
Magistrate McAdoo asking him to re-
quest Secretary of State Hugo 10 deny
a renewal Of their registration num-
bers when the numbers expire. MI.
Woods recommends that those who
have been convicted Of speeding more
than twice be deprived Of the use Of
their cars for a month or two at least.
No clemency is urged for those who
have been caught driving while intox-
icated.
There arc nine city licensed taxicab
chaufeurs on the commissioners black
list. They have been convicted OF
operating their cabs while drunk or
attempting to escape after running
down persons in the street. Also there
are eight regularly licensed chaufeurs,
drivers Of private cars, who have the
same bad record. In addition, there
are six taxicab drivers who have been
vp three times for driving while drunk.
Their cases have been referred to Com
missioner Bell with recommendations
that their licenses be revoked for all
time, in the case Of those convicted OF
intoxication. and for reasonable
period at least in the speeding cases.
In all these cases Chief Justice Russell
of Special Sessions has been asked By
Commissioner Woods to furnish Com
missioner Bell with the court records.
District Attorney elect Edward
Swami announced yesterday that he is
making preparations for vigorous
campaign against drivers OF automo-
biles and others who are a menace to
the safety Of persons in the streets.
Judge Swami Is studying the situation
and already has pretty definite ideas as
to what should be done when he as
sumes office. In order to enforce his
ideas, Judge Swami wants to be able to
suggest to the next Assembly some
amendments to the present laws.

WESTERNERS BID
FOR CONVENTION
Three Cities Put UP Bond to
Guarantee Entertainment.

William F. McCombs, chairman Of
the Democratic National Committee,
said yesterday that he expected full
meeting of the national committeeman
in Washington on December 7. He said
he had received large number OF ac-
ceptances in reply 20 his call for the
meeting to decide upon the time and
place for the national convention next
year.
Chicago, st. Louis and Dallas have
put up 100000 each TO show their good
faith IN bidding for the convention.
There is also strong sentiment for
the convention in San Francisco, Mr..
McCombs said. The national chairman
declared that most of the national COM
mitteemen would attend the meeting
with open minds in regard to the place
for the convention, but would favor an
early date, probably during the first
two weeks of June.
Homer S. Cummings, vice-chairman
of the Democratic National Committee
declared recently that the majority of
the committee would probably favor
Chicago as the place for the conven-
ton. Asked what the Democratic issues
In the coming national campaign would
be. Mr.. McCombs said they would be
determined largely by what Congress
did at the next session. The national
chairman intimated that President Will
son was bound to be renomineted at the
national convention.

provisions, which disposed only of the

interests.

When the will was found Craig de-
cided that il would not hold In law, be-
cause il failed TO dispose Of the prin-

the income from the remaining nine
ten,hs. At the death of Mrs. Long two
brothers Of Long were to receive her
share of the income.
With the original will was found a
carbon copy, which figured Importantly
in the decision for probate. The story
as told in affidavit form yesterday was
that while Mr. Long was on his death
bed Marion came to his home, at 1877
Riverside Drive. Mrs. Long refused TO
admit him TO the sick chamber. The
wife was called away. On her return,
II was alleged, she learned from the
nurse that Marion had visited Long
and that some sort Of document had
been made out.
After the funeral it was arranged 70

instrument. But il did not match with
the carbon copy of the original. II
was learned that the frst page of the
will had been taken out and the first
page Of the preliminary draft had been
substituted.
Craig advised Mrs. Long not to ac-
cept the will in that form and told her
to talk the matter over with a friend.
Accordingly, she called on r. R.

Charged with disorderly conduct for

bule Of the Hotel Biltmore, well
dressed woman, who said she was Mrs.
Leonora Hunt, seventy-three years old,

the proceeds were to support war or

Detective Charles Manning, Of the

woman. He said he had warned her
that che was annoying the guests.
When arrested she had more than 5000

officer of the court that she was the

that II he were q judge and Hayward
came before him to complain about the
Third Avenue Company he would take
him by the "scruff Of the neck" and
throw him into the middle OF the
street.
Mccall reluctantly cast his vote in
favor of prosecuting the company yes
terday. Before doing 30 he put himself
on record as not believing that there
was sufficient evidence to Justify such
a proceeding. The chairman had no
alternative, however, because George
S. Coleman. counsel for the commits
sion, had given an opinion that this
was the proper course to pursue. Mr.
Coleman said In his opinion:
After examination Of the record and
after reading the report of November

and after consulting with Mr.. Wilder

been such failure 70 obey. observe OF

complish no useful purpose, since 1t

Mr.. Coleman also advised the com.

tentional, deliberate and avoidable," a
prosecution for misdemeanor would lia
