TURBINE INVENTED
Mercury Vapor Use Means
Cheaper Power.
By NEA Service


SCHENECTADY, N. Y, April T.
A new and larger turbine electric
generator using mercury vapor in
stead of steam and producing more
power cheaply than existing steam
plants, is being constructed here.
This 20,000-kilowatt turbine will
have twice the output of the mer-
curry vapor engine and generator
which already has proved its super
ior efficiency over steam turbines
during period of a year at Hart
ford, Conn. The new plant will be
the first outdoor steam plant and
will be even more efficient than the
Hartford station.
The mercury is boiled over a fire
and the vapor is played on the
blades of q turbine wheel as in a
steam generator, but at a much
higher temperature. The advantage
OF the quicksilver over water is due
in the first place to it's higher boil
ing temperature. This allows the
engineer to use his mercury at as
high as $50 degrees Fahrenheit
without producing uncomfortably
high pressure in the boiler.

French Groom
Prince to Wed
Royal Cousin
Bu United Press

BY United Press
PARIS, April French royal
lists see the dawning of new day,
bringing health and vigor to the
house of Bourbon Orleans, in
Wednesdays marriage at Palermo
IF Prince Henri, Count de Paris,
and his distant cousin, Princess
isabella D'Orleans-Bragance.
Prince Henri, who will celebrate
his 2Sd birthday on July 5, is the
heir pretender to the throne of
France. Tall, handsome, with the
blue eyes and faxen hair of the
Orleans family, Prince Henri is
the favorite of French royalists.
His father, the Due De Guise, is
the actual prentender to the
throne.
Princess Isabella, 20. is the
daughter of Prince and Princess
Pierre D'Alcantara. The prince,
who was born at PetropoliS, near
Rio De Janeiro, renounced his
pretentions to the Brazilian throne
in favor of his brother, Prince
Louis, at Cannes in 1908. Princess
Isabella thus is the direct de-
scendant of Don Pedro of Brazil.
French royaliSts believe the
marriage of these young descend
ants of King Louis Philippe and
King Louis XIV will unite the
party as it never has been united
since the establishment Of the
Third Republic.

FRAUD CHARGED IN
PASSAGE OF BILL
Suits Seek Injunction in
Printing of Utility
Measure.

Fraud and mistake" in the pro-
ceedure by which a utility bill be-
came a law in the 1881 state legis-
lature are charged In three suits
fled today in Marion circuit court
seeking an injunction to prevent
the printing, circulating and record
ing Of the bill.
The suits relating to House Bill
No. 6, regulating bus transportation
by amending 1925 law, were fled
by the city Of Indianapolis, the city
of Muncie and Clarence Fay Hud-
son, Muncie taxpayer. Frank
Mayr Jr., secretary Of state, is
named defendant in all the suits.
Main contention in the suits is
that the bill, which allegedly was
passed in one form in the house
of representatives and by another
wording, or form, in the senate, Ias
enrolled by fraud ard through mis-
take was signed Grovernor Harry
9. Leslie as passed.
Hold Hearing Thursday
First hearing on the suits will be
held Thursday morning in circuit
court, when Mayr will appear to
answer charges of plaintiffs.
Members of the conference COM
mittee handling the bill and named
in the suits are: Senators John G.
Sherwood and j. Francis Lochard
and Representatives William B.
Conner and James M. Knapp.
1t is charged that matter in the
bill giving board of works, common
councils and board of trustees in
cities and towns power to continue
to supervise, control or regulate
motor transportation with their
limits. was struck out in conference
committee.
The suit alleges this conference
report was concurred in by the
house of representatives, but never
was reported to the senate. The bill
was acted upon in the closing
minutes of the legislature, amid rush
and confusion, it is said.
Integrity Not Questioned
Attorneys for the cities filing the
suits said that the suits do not
question the integrity OF presiding
officers of the house and senate or
that Of Governor Harry C. Leslie,
who signed the bill.
Failure of Attorney-General James
M. Ogden to give ruling on va
lidity of the bill, after he was asked
several weeks ago, is believed to
have caused the cities to seek court
action.
James Deery, city attorney for
indianapolis, and George Rooms, city
attorney for Muncie, filed the suits.
Another suit will be filed by Samuel
Harrig, chairman of the East New
York Street, Civic League, Indian
apolis, representing Indianapolis
taxpayers.
If the suits are upheld, it will be
the first time Indiana courts ever
have gone behind the record" and
into the procedure by which they
became law.
