This Rotary Air Motor
Is to Be Salvation of
Country Home.

7 EFT the windmill do the work-in-
] l. stead Of the women.
Science is about to give US another
invention which was undreamed Of a
few decades ago
It has likely been left to an Ell Paso
man. J. H Connolly, to invent a wind
mill which is more than a windmill
an air motor or a wind motor. or bet
ter still a rotary air motor.
The air motor, simple in design and
construction. and almost "foolproof, "
doesn't need anything but a little
grease once or twice a year, to make
it pump water, make electricity,
charge storage batteries and run any
number of labor saving devices.
The miniature machine at Connolly's
home, 4013 Clifton street. works per-
fectly, and there seems TO be nothing
which will keep the big machine from
working. He is building a big ma
chine for final test.
The rotary air motor is made OF a
series OF wings which open and shut
automatically. The wings are three
feet wide and eight feet long and
are set in planes at right angles, and
through the intersecting planes is a
shaft set in ball bearings. The shaft
and planes are perpendicular to the
ground
Plenty of Air Surface.
The slightest wind will set the
windmill in motion The machine
is so constructed that when it starts
to revolving IS of the wings at all
times are exposed to the breeze. The
wind closes the Is wings and carries
the plane TO the next series of wings,
then the first series opens and the
next closes and so on as the machine
. I q
surface of so square feet at all times
exposed to the wind and the other
three series waiting their turn to help
generate power. The wings open and
shut automatically.
To the rotary air motor may be at
tached a shaft to which may be con-
nected a pump for drawing water
the same as the old fashioned mill
Then also TO the shaft may be con-
nected any number OF belts. pullies
and machines.
Its Uses Arc Endless.
The wind will make the power for
recharging batteries or making cleo
tricity. The electricity should be suf-
ficient through these motors to run
saw mill, operate churns, furnish
lights and heat for the house and
barn and do a number OF things, Mr..
Connolly says
housewives breadmixer, her potato
peeler. her meat chopper, run her
sewing machine and operate her
vacuum cleaner. It could be made to
freeze her ice cream. heat her flat
iron and turn her washing machine.
It should do more. Why shouldn't

be turned into electricity 10 do her

simple And Fool Proof.
The storage battery may be placed
in the attic and in windy weather II
would store plenty of current to last
during calm spells. The storage bat
terry charges itself, with the aid Of
the rotary air motor, and cuts itself
off when charged, and is therefore
foolproof.
terry may be charged while the cur
rent is beinb used, II there is a sur
plus. For instance. If the rotary air
motor is generating ten amperes Gan
ampere is a measure Of quantity and
the housewife is using two amperes
for her electric iron, then the storage
battery will store away the other
eight smperes-
Enough electricity, it is estimated,
could be stored in a day to last two
weeks in calm weather, but seldom IS
there a day in these parts with not
enough breeze blowing to keep the
rotary air motor going
Think of q farm with no lantern. no
lambs TO fool with! Think of switch

other things which for centuries nave

King May Assemble PaTIiaIlleIlt Strike Situation in Great
 Britain Not
 Abated. TO
 MEET PREMIER

London, Oct. 4.---Efforts of trade unionist mediators to find some means for bringing the government and lead CTS of the national union of railway men together have not been abated, in spite of the breach in negotiations. Fourteen chosen delegates met this forenoon at the headquarters of the Transport Workers Federation to for mulate further proposals. It is ex- pected they will approach Premier Lloyd George on Monday, and then Hay their propositions before the trades congress to be held on Tues day.
 The cabinet meets early this fore noon at the residence of Premier Lloyd George to discuss the strike situation. There were many con- lectures among the people whether King George, who will arrive in Lon don this evening, will be likely to in yoke his authority and reassemble parliament, in view of the threaten ing aspect of the situation. This sug- gestion meets with all round approval in labor circles, where 1t is considered that public discussion would alleviate the crisis.

NO DEFINITE
 CHOICE MADE
 FOR CANDIDATE
Three in Field For Chance At Mayoralty
 Run.

The "unterrified'' Democrats are living up to their name as evidenced by the latest developments in the campaign for a Democratic mayoralty nominee who must be chosen at the city convention to be held this even- ing at Masonic Hall
 Today there were three candidates in the field that yesterday was sup posedly to be fertile for an unheard of compromise nominee. The three are George B. Clark, A. E. Vincent and John A. Cornell, Jr.
 It was denied today that any of the candidates had withdrawn and that the contest for the victory would be made on the floor of the convention this evening.
 George Mara, one of the Vincent leaders, threw some light on the sit nation today, when he stoutly denied that Vincent had withdrawn from the race and declared as emphatically that his name would be offered at the con vention tonight. Attorney Mara was also authority for the statement that Senator Clark was in the race.
 Town Chairman Hugh J. Lavery admitted only that the compromise candidate had not been decided upon and knew nothing as to the standing of others although he knew they were in the field.

HOLDS UP THE
 TRAIN TO GET PACKAGE OFF
Mail Clerk Risks Life That Wilson Might Get
 Medicine.

Boston, Oct. 4---John Purcell, mail
 dispatcher at the South Postal Sta ton, risked possible injury and the displeasure of trainmen, when he held
 up the Federal Express to Washing
 ton to expedite the delivery of a pack
 age of medicine for President Wilson last night. Standing between the
 tracks and waving his arms he brought the train to a sudden stop
 just as 1t was leaving the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad yards. His brief explanations to the
 engineer were accepted and the train resumed its journey two minutes late. It was disclosed today that Purcell had received the package from a. mes
 senger who shouted medicine for the president as he dashed into the mail room. The express was then pulling out of the train shed, and Pur- cell grabbed the parcel, ran across the network of yard tracks and posted
 himself in the glare of the oncoming engines headlight.
 The parcel was addressed to Admi-
 ral Grayson and marked urgent, spe-
 cial delivery"

GEORGE
 MAKES APPEAL TO CITIZENS
Wants Citizens Guard to Protect Life and
 Property.
Appeal Meets With
 Prompt Response

London, Oct. 4-Premier Lloyd Georges appeal for the formation of "citizen guards throughout the country in the emergency caused by the railroad strike and it's possible spread met with a prompt response on all sides today. The Lord Mayor of London lost no time in complying with the request, and his example was followed by other lords mayor, lords lieutenant, chairmen of country councils, watch committees chief con- stables and town clerks the country over. The representative commit tee were formed everywhere to re- cruit the guards whose duties will be to assist the police in the protection of citizens engaged in the matnten- ance of the supply of food and oth- erwise preserve order.
 Meanwhile the strike situation had developed no important new features up to the early afternoon since the breach of last night, when 1t was announced by the government that the railway men had rejected an offer of arbitrat ton and a seven days truce.
 The members of the cabinet discus sed plans throughout the forenoon for dealing with the situation, while the delegates of the trade unionists who are engaged in a mediation ef- fort remained in almost constant ses- sion, in the endeavor to formulate a method by which the strikers and the government could be brought to- gether again. Most of the leaders ex- pressed the hope that mediation would still be found possible. Even T men apparently have decided to aban- don the campaign of speechmaking ng throughout the country districts they had planned, the indications being that they would remain in London to be prepared to meet and pass upon any proffer for a solution of the crisis

Schooner Is Driven
 On Shore
Wife Helps Husband Launch Boat in Heavy
 Sea. BOATS CARGO
 62,O0O BRICKS

With the fore part of his vessel on the shore of Pleasure Beach and the south east squall driving great waves over the stern Captain Charles Lun- derwau with his wife and one man crew had an exciting time in launch ing boat from the two masted schooner William L. Peck about 10 o'clock last night
 The schooner was off Bridgeport harbor on her way from Perth Am boy to Newport, R. I. with a cargo of 62,000 bricks, with the mate at the, wheel and the captain ans his wife in the cabin below, when the sudden careening of the vessel caus- ed the captain to hurry on deck where he found that the squaH was driving the ship on the shore.
 He tried to weather the Stratford Point but found that he would be unable to do so against the head wind. He then turned and tried to make Bridgeport harbor when he discover ed that he had been driven too close to the shore to clear Pleasure Beach. He lowered his sail before she struck and none of the upper works were carried away, but the water poured into the hold where the seams had opened with the shock, and from the waves that dashed over the stern-
 The captain was now confronted with the difficult and hazardous duty of launching a boat in the big driving waves and high wind with only himself and a one man crew. The thought of his wife's predica- ment added to his worry.
 But she showed that she was not going to be a burden to him by pitch ing in and doing as much work as either the captain or crew in launch ing the boat and in handling an oar to keep it also from being dashed on the shore. After some strenuous work the whole party reached the shore in safety
 The captain says that he wouldn't care so much, although he was the owner of the schooner and she is not insured, but for the fact that his wife had come with him on this trip and he hated to have her see him lose his ship.
 The brick. will be unloaded and if she is not too badly strained or steven an attempt will be made to float the schooner as soon as the sea subsidies.

 These men moved mysteriously
 around the plant" declared Davies, who said he represented the senti-
 ment of 5000 tinworkers. We kept hearing that they intended to cripple
 the plants, paralyze operations.
 These foreigners, when we asked
 them, explained they were going to

 You Americans can't work here afterward. Nothing but union men. wen get the check off system, D they said, and collect all the unio dues
 Some of them explained to me, We won't need boses after this, con- mfttees will run mills"
 Davies said some workers intint- dated because they "are told their houses would be blown up and their wives killed"
 Union officials admitted today that the Bethlehem Steel Go. has made In- roads into the ranks of its striking workmen, but accompanied the ad- mission with the statement that they
 were well satisfied with the situation David H. Williams, the strike leader who until yesterday had declared that at least 85 per cent. of the men 1 were out, said that he could not now claim 75 per cent. of them. He de- clarpd, however, that many shops are crippled because the men still out are virtually all highly skilled work men. A drive to bring out more ot 1 these skilled workmen who are essen i tial to the operation of all the shops 1 he said, is under way.
 The strike zone in the Pfttsburgf ] district was quiet today in apparent anticipation of developments Monday i when many mills which have beer shut down by the strike will resume l operations. word of which has come | from various sources. Steel companies
 contnued to make plans preparatory
 to opening of plants, it is said, while 1 union leaders continued to exert every l effort among steel men in local plants
 and in those in the Pittsburgh dis trict to keep them away from the mills.
 l One of the biggest breaks in the
 ranks of the strikers, 1t is said, oc-
 cured yesterday when hundreds ot
 employees of the Farrell works of the
 Am Sheet and Tin Plate Com ipany, one of the largest in the coun- !try, expressed a desire to return to work after having been on strike ae- icording to Superintendent Daniel T iHaddock. The works will be in full operation Monday morning, Superin- 4 tendent Hadlock said following
 conference with employees yesterday There are 2,500 men employed at the
 mills. The Mercer plant of the Amer ican Steel and Wire Company at Far

WOULD-BES SUICIDE IS IDENTIFIED AS
 BIC CONTRACTOR
Information From Atlantic City Received to That
 Effect.

Information received today from Atlantic City clarified the mystery surrounding the suicidal attempt at the Hotel Warehouse or Wednesday of a man whose name was given as George L.. Hommedieu." The man who attempted his life and is now at St. Vincents hospital in a serious condition, is George LHommedieu, head of a prosperous and wealthy contracting firm of Atlantic City.
 It was stated in the information from the New Jersey city that Mrs. LHommedieu had come to Bridge port to see her husband. At St. Vim cents hospital today it was stated that the mans wife was here, but no further information was given.
 L'Hommedieu slashed his wrists with a safety razor blade nine times and then Jumped from a third story window at the hotel, breaking both feet and suffering internal injuries. As a result his condition is very ser ious, although it was stated at the hospital today that he was somewhat improved after a good nights rest.
 When he was found outside of the hotel Wednesday morning, he de- clared that some information which he wished he hadn't learned, caused him to attempt his life. Then there were rumors of domestic difficulties, but the appearance of his wife rather upsets those.
