Burns and His Bullies

The collapse of the Fall-Sinclair case because of
jury tampering is not only challenge to the judicial
system of the United States but is challenge to
Congress as WELL
Perhaps may get searching investigation
by Congress into not only the Burns detective agency
but the entire horde of similar agencies that nfest the
country with their private seuths, some of them of
a very questionable character.
If Congress brings to light the practices of
some of these so-caled detective agencies the
try will be amazed not only at what they have done
but who hired them to do it. Getting something on
urymen is only small part of it. National and State
legislators and other public officials have been spied
upon and bounded by agencies in the hope of
getting information that might be held over their
heads to influence their official conduct.
Among the so-caed private detectives will be
found no doubt despcable characters who are will
ing to commit most any crime to serve the purposes
of their employers and for the protection of the pub
lie from such espionage it is high time Congress took
a hand in their suppression, at least their regua-
ton.

the oxygen in the air rising from
the CRATE is used for combustion
in the first four inches from the
CRATE. At distance of four inches
from the CRATE the co content of
the gases has reached or passed a
maximum of 10 to H6 per cent and
begin to drop. At the surface of
the fuel bed the gases contain no
oxygen, only 6 to per cent of co
and 20 to 80 per cent of the COM
bustible gases.
1.-THE composition of the gases is
practically independent of the rate
of air supply. The larger the guam
tity of air forced through the fuel
bed. the faster the fuel burns or
CASTLES, but the ratio between
weight of air supplied and weight
of fuel burned remains constant at
about seven to one.
"Since at the surface of the fuel
bed the gases contain 20 to 80 per
cent combustible gas and practically
no free oxygen to obtain complete
combustion, additional air must be
introduced over the fuel bed. This
statement is true for practically all
fuels, including coke. AS general
statement about one-half of the if
teen pounds of air used to burn one
pound of coal in boiler furnace is
supplied through the fuel bed; the
other half must be supplied over
the fuel bed"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-11-08

The process of combustion in a
furnace was explained in an inter-
view today with City Combustion
Engineer Joseph G. Buchanan.
Buchanan bases his conclusions
on a technical paper issued by the
United States Bureau of Mines,
which is result of numerous tests.
He pointed out the need for a
knowledge of combustion before
proper firing methods can be taught
to eliminate the smoke nuisance.
CONFUSION of coal takes place
partly in the fuel bed and partly
in the space above or beyond the
fuel bed which is commonly called
the combustion space" Buchanan
said
1.-The process of combustion in the
fuel bed consists chiefly of the gasi-
f1cation of the fuel.
1.-The combustible gases rising
from the fuel bed are burned in
the combustion space by uniting
with the oxygen in the air admitted
through the firing door or other
openings provided for the purpose.
The combustion is complete if the
supply of air and the size of the
combustion space are sufficient.
"The fuel bed in most types Of
! furnaces acts primarily as a gas
producer. With a six-inch fuel bed

"The People Next Door"

Five weeks ago two generals-both presldentlal
candidates-marched out of Mexico City bent upon
executing well-laid plot for the overthrow OF the
government by force of arms
Two days later one of the leaders, Gen. Francisco
Serrano found himself looking down the ugly bar
rels of firing squad. And over the last weekend
the other revolutionary General Arnulfo Gomez SUI
fered the same fate. Captured in the mountains OF
Vera Cruz, he was summarily stood up against a
stone wall and shot,
Thus quickly and grimly, it would seem, President
Gales has rung down the curtain on what appears
to have been of the most dangerous attemptS at
revolution the country has seen in years.
And now, of course, we will hear the usual de-
nunciations of the Gales regime, it will be called
bloody brutal and despotic. Which, perhaps it Is.
But those who really know the situation will say that
it is better for Gomez Serrano and their handful of
followers to go like this man that the Mexican gov
eminent should be overthrown and tens of thou
sands of people be butchered in the revolution and
chaos which would surely follow.
Funny thing about some of the loudest critics of
President Gales Almost invariably they cite the die
tatorship of Porhrio Daz as the golden of Mexi-
can prosperity and long for return of the good old
days. Yet Diaz was VIGOROUSLY of the cruelest
and most cold-blooded rulers Mexico ever had. For
thirty years his word was law and the slightest EVIL
dence of opposition to his sway was put down with
an iron hand. The firing squad had plenty to do in
his day and time.

because it originates in water

We are not dealing with a new

Channel Faker Fined

Doctor Dorothy Logan started
out to reform the now fashionable
sport of swimming the English
channel.
She was obsessed with the idea
of how easily a record could be
faxed and of how necessary it was
for someone to protect the gullible
public.
In her enthusiasm to assume
this responsibility, she swore to a
false statement, which lifted her
from the realm of sport into the
realm of law, and which caused
her to draw a fine of $500 and
costs instead of a medal.

and some worker: when alas" one
of our especially bro d-minded citi-
zenS of Broad Ripple brought an
injunction against this improve
ment for some reason best known
to himself and sewed up the job
tighter than a clam in cold water.
The fire department and the bust

Ripple, and the people living on
the street in question, have waded
through mud and water so long that
a few more weeks delay will not
have much effect on them. They
believe, however. that every black
cloud has a silvr lining and are
sure grateful for all favors granted
and bestowed upon them by the
generous and broad-minded domi-
mating faction of said suburb OF In

We trust that when this improve
ment is finally completed that 1t
will benefit all of Broad Ripple, and
the travelling public as well, as We
had this thought in mind when VIC
