GASOLINE DRIVEN
STREET CAR, NEXT
Ford Motor Company Officials
Plan to Do Away With
Present Types.
By United Press:

By United Press:
DETROIT. Mich, April 19-The
present day electrically driven street
car is on the way 10 the scrap
heap.
The forests of poles. innumerable
miles OF wires and ca bles and power
houses are doomed.
Street railway traffic will be rev.
olutionized by a new street car, mo-
tivated by a gasoline engine, all Of
its own. 1t will carry its own power,
depending on no external agency.
Cost OF operation will be reduced
by about one-half. Waste of power
will be eliminated. There will be no
peak load" TO worry about.
The above IS in substance the be-
lief Of Charles Z. Sorensen. general
manager of the Ford tractor plant in
Dearborn, Mich.
Present System ImperTect.
Every engineer and railway man
ager knows that the present street
car system is too imperfect to last"
said Sorensen. Engineers condemn
the present street railway system
everywhere on the ground OF ex-
pense. 1t costs too much. Great
dynamos capable Of carrying the
peak loads of modern traffic are
required along with tons Of costly
cables, food wires and bonds made
OF copper; great numbers or poles,
crOss-arms and hangers.
Besides that the weight of the
motors compel more heavily con-
structed cars than the traffic really
calls for. All this leads 10 street
danger, the elimination or service
that lighter. but fully as strong cars
could perform and all other incon-
Veniences of which car-riders COM
plain. Then the destruction wrought
on underground conduits and pipes
by electrolysis is a constant source
of expense and loss that every de-
partment of public works knows"
Cars Not Efficient.

PLOT May SOON
Be CLEANED UP
Explosive Maker Arrested by Federal
Agents at Gary, Ind.-Prisoner In.
vOlved In Terrorist Campaign
Directly Connected With
Blast at Home Of At
tOrney General.

Chicago, October 14.-The nation
wide terrorist bomb plots OF last May
and June are about to be cleared up.
The alleged maker of the bomb that
was exploded in the doorway Of the
home of Attorney General Palmer in
in Washington, June 8, has been ar
rested in Gary, Ind, Federal officials
announce.
The man held in connection with
the Palmer bomb explosion is be-
lieved, it is said, to have been the
maker of the SO bombs sent through
the mails in boxes wrapped in paper
from the Gimbel Bros store in New
York and timed to reach their intend
ed victims on May 1. The peculiar
style of manufacture, with the ingen-
ious contrivance of the explosive, has
linked them unmistakably with base
ment radical factory raided at Gary
by the Federal troops, it is said.
Since the 1000 soldiers of the
Fourth and Sixth divisions took con-
troll of Gary, Investigations have been
shrouded in secrecy. There have been
many arrests made and strong stock
ade built in which to keep the prison.
ers How many men besides the al
legged mob maker are held in connec-
ton with the nationwide plots has
not been revealed by the Federal au-
thorities, civil or military.
A radical leader named Ivanoff,
known, it is said, to have been the
agent who carried the Gimbel bombs
from Gary to New York for trans
mission through the mails, is being
sought. He was last seen in Chicago
several weeks ago, when he sncke/at

New York, October 14.-With its re-
serve food supply rapidly shrinking
toward the famine point, New York to-
day is facing a crisis in one of the
worst labor situations in its history.
At least 100000 workers are either on
strike or idle as result of strikes.
The walkout of 1000 teamsters,
chauffeurs and helpers has caused the
American Railway Express company
to place an embargo on all express
packages entering or leaving the city.
Virtually all of the fish, vegetables and
other perishable food are shipped here
by express. The strike of the long
shoremen, harbor and ferry workers
has caused enormous quantities of
food to rot on the docks and in ships
No coal has reached here for several
days. A little milk and a few tons OF
vegetables have reached the city by
circuitous routes.
The industrial unrest in the city is
shown in statement by Ernest
Bohm, secretary of the Central Fed.
Grated Union of Greater New York
in which he says 10000 workers af.
filiated with the American Federation
| of Labor are on strike. In addition
Mr.. Bohm states that there are 10000
"unclassified" strikers and $4,000 non
strikers thrown out of work
