HULsEY PERFECTs DEVICE

Anniston. June Especial )-Allen Hulsey of this city, who has been em- ployed in the Jacksonville, Fla, snip yards as a machinist for the past two years. is spending a few weeks in An niston before going to Washington to present a safety device before the gov srnment investigating committee and the Anniston inventor feels certain that the virtues of his invention will De easily recognized when properly pre- sented
 Head-on and tail-end collisions of freight or passenger trains are lmpos- sible under the operation Of the device recently perfected by MT. Hulsey, and the present block system, which is con- sidered as nearly perfect as posslple heretofore, will likely be superseded by the general installation of MT Null sey's carefully worked out scheme for signalling against accidents by way or collisions.
 The device perfected by MT. Hulsey not only inaugurates an unfaillng sys- tenn of electric signalling which, under ordinary conditions, would prevent wrecks. but it does even more than that. stands are set at distances of a mile apart and the passage of trains over the stands puts the signal stands in operation for period of three Aniles. The inventor explains that by his de- vice it is impossible for collisions to occur because one train within three miles of another one going in an op- posite direction or not more than three miles ahead an immedlte apphcatloh or his device to the emergency brake on each engine brings both trains to an fmmedite halt.
 Mr Hulsey will go to Washington In a short time to present his patented de- vice before the committee Of the gov ernment which is now seeking an inn provement over the system now in use
