SETTLED! Electrical Experts Pronounce the Falls Power the Greatest Triumph of the Age. DR. DUNCAN'S STATEMENT. He Says There is No Longer Any Doubt of the Complete Success of the Enterprise. CAUSE FOR PAST SECRECY.

The Company Desired to Get All of the Ponderons Machinery in Proper Shape Before Public Tests Were Made. TO THE EVENING Niagara Falls, June successful test of the big dynamo made yesterday, theme afternoon of at the conversation power among house the electrical engineers here last night, and is still being talked about today. All of the visiting electricians freely expressed themselves as being confident of the full success of the work. They the test given yesterday was sufficlent to prove beyond any further question of doubt that the Niagara Falls power will prove to be, and to do all that has been claimed for it. Dr.

Louis Duncan of Johns Hopkins' University and president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers now in convention here, said last night: "The demonstration of the success of the work was complete in every way. All of the machinery worked to perfection and there is no doubt whatever that the enterprise will be carried to completion as has been mapped out. It is certainly the greatest work of the world in this direction." "What do you sag as to transmission of the power?" he was asked. "That has been demonstrated to be quite possible and practicable in other countries and will be done here. The only question is as to the matter of cost, and there is little, if any, doubt that power will soon be sent from here to neighboring points as cheaply, or cheaper, than it can be produced locally by Other men who gave similar opinions were Prof.

William A. Anthony of New York, Dr. F. B. Crocker of New York, W.

F. C. Hassen of San Francisco, E. Kennelly of Philadelphia, Dr. M.

1. Pupin of New York and many others, any one of whom might be considered as an authority on the question. As one of these men said: "What ground is there for questioning the certain success of this work when we have seen today power enough generated by one great dynamo to furnish all the power and light necessary for such a city as Utica and with only a little more than half the capacity of the dynamo utilized at that? Think of what the result will be when we know that there are the facilities for 20 such dynamos on the American side and 40 on the Canadian side. "What we have seen today marks what might be termed the beginning of a revolution in the Industrial world. This demonstrates what may be accomplished all over the world in the way of producing and transmitting power.

It means that a mountain cascade may be converted into power that will give life and existence to a great industrial city miles away on the plains." Yesterday the officers of the Construction Company for the first time released the official reports of the officers and engineers. These reports and a complete history of the work from its inception to the test of the dynamo yesterday, have been printed in a special number of Casaler's Magazine of Engineering. All of the matter has been reviewed by the company and much of It Is written by the engineers themselves. The publishers have been anxlous to put it out for several months, but the company has held it back until now. This is very signficant, as it shows that there is no longer anything to conceal and that the company 19 ready to declare to the world the certain success of their undertaking.

It was explained yesterday to the visiting engineers why there had been 80 much secrecy as to has been going on inside the power house for the last six months. It has been a very difficult and very slow task to get all of the ponderous machinery in proper shape and the company preferred to have nothing said until everything had been thoroughly tested and the machinery could show beyond the possibility of a question what it could do. For example, the main shaft connecting the water wheel with the dynamo is 140 feet long and with all of the massive wheels that are attached to it and with the mighty weight of all this machinery It has been the work of months to get It in proper shape. Now, as the engineers say, all they have to do is to go on with the construction of additional dynamos in great tunnel. Two of the 5000 horse power dynamos are nearly ready to be used and It Is only a question of time when there will be 10 times as many in full operation.

The large dynamo yesterday was running most of the afternoon and some of the time produced upward of 3000 horse power. It was indeed interesting last night to listen to the talk of the electrical experts as they sat about the hotels and discussed what the great Falls power would do in the future. One of the New York men said: "When they get ready to take the 20,000 horse power to Buffalo It will be conducted over three wires probably of less than an inch in diameter each. These little wires stretched through the country will not make any disturbance and but few people will have any Idea of the immense. power they be silently carrying along.

They will have more power than 40 railroad locomotives and will have sufficient force, if properly applied, to break 10 of the wire cables such as are used on the Broadway cars in New York. There is almost no limit to the power that can, and in my opinion will be, produced at this point." N. A Neat Wall Pocket.

They are bigger and more ferocious. Scientists claim they are descendents of the old Egyptian cats, and if that is so, the old-timers must have been holy terrors in their way and one cannot blame the Egyptians for showing them so much tenderness. In Europe they call wild cats Fells Catus. In this country where wild cats are numerous the people call them "varmints" and "devils'! and all that sort of thing, But no matter what kind the wild called, the fact remains that the animal is dangerous and a mighty good fighter. A glance at the category will' show anyone that there are all kinds of cats, In England they 'call gossiping, shrewdish woman a cat.

Then there is the cat-o'nine-tails in use on the seas and the old time warriors used what they called a cat to defend the battlements from assault. This was a big framework of wood, full of sharpened spikes. When an assaulting party approached the walls this cat was dropped on their heads. Buffalo gentlemen who play faro or who have heard of the game, will be interested in learning there Is a cat in that pastime also. A cat in faro is when two of the last three cards in the box happen to be of the same denomination.

A cat in plastering is the first coat of mortar which is plastered aver the laths. Then there is the cat boat too. Aesop tells a tale of the cat in the meal which has become a general saying when one wishes to refer to one who is hiding his identity for a purpose. A lie told by a person who did not originate it is called a-cat-in-pan. Of course, you have all heard of cat-fish.

They are productive of wonderful tales of fishing on the Mississippi where they are said to grow to be eight and 10 feet in length and weigh a hundred pounds or more. "Enough to make a cat laugh," and "grinning like a Chessy cat," come from this passage in 1 Alice in Wonderland: "Please, would you tell, me," said Alice, a little timidly, "why your cat grins like that?" "It is a Cheshire cat," said the Duchess. "That is One of the most common sayings in this country is "Let the cat out of the bag." That originated in England where country a trick of putting a cat in a bag and selling it to young people who were foolish enough to "buy a pig in a poke." Of course if the buyer opened the bag he let the cat out and exposed the trick. The French have a saying which denotes sudden change or trickery. It is "tourner cate en peine." "It means literally "turn a cat in pan." All of these facts go to show that in whatever sense the word cat is used it tends to denote treachery or activity or evil of some character.

And yet Supt. McMillan let a wild cat, and a Pennsylvania wild cat at that, escape him. THOUGHT SHE WAS NUMBER TWO. A Police Court Romance in Which the Wife Took Back Her Husband and all Ended Happily. Non-support was the charge on which Detective Burkhardt arrested John Bond last night and his bride of a few weeks was the complainant.

The case was heard before Judge King this afternoon and quite an interesting condition of affairs was revealed. The couple were married on June 5. The bride was Miss Mary Rowell and the groom gave his name as John R. Lavine. Miss Rowell -lived at 186 Clinton street where she lives now; her husband worked for Dr.

Cottrell on Eagle street. The bride's age is 35 and the groom's 24, After they were married they went away on a wedding trip and returned only a few days ago. Mrs. Lavine, as the bride, believed herself to have considerable property and there was not a thing in the way of the couple living quite happily until a gossiping neighbor told Mrs. Lavine that her husband had no right to marry her as he already had a wife living.

She was also told that Lavine was not his right name. When Mrs. Lavine acoused him of havIng a wife before he married her and of having another name Lavine denied the first charge and admitted the second. He said there were reasons why he had to be married under an assumed name. His real name is John Bond.

This afternoon Mrs. Lavine or Mrs. Bond, as she properly is, asked the Judga to allow her to withdraw the warrant. She said she had her husband arrested because she wanted to find out whether he had another wife or not. "I have money enough, judge," she said, "and I am willing to go with you willing to support your wife?" asked the Judge of Lavine or Bond.

The prisoner replied that he was and the couple left the court room both apparently very happy. NEW YORK BROKER'S SUICIDE. Louis M. Carnish Found Dead in His Library This Morning -Bullet in His Head. New York, June M.

It is Still at Large and There is No Telling Where it is Hiding. MET ON MILITARY ROAD. William Morrison and His Dog From Tonawanda Hare a Startling Encounter With the Animal and Come Out Second Best. A Man, a Dog, a Cat. See the Man and the Dog Walk-ing down the Mil-1the The Dog Sees the Cat and tary Cat is Stand-Ing Near Road.

Where is the Cat? 0-body Knows, not even Park Su-per-in-tend-ent McMil-lan, who Is Re-spon-sible for its Es-cape from the Park. WIll the Man Kick An-other Cat? Not While Park Su-per-In-tend-ent McMIl-lan's Wild Cat is at Large. That little primer lesson tells the experlence of William Morrison and his dog on the Military Road yesterday afternoon when the dog saw a cat and started in to chase it. The dog did not know a wild cat had escaped from the park menagerie, nor did Mr. Morrison or he would not have tried to kick the shape out of the cat when the wild animal patted his dog and sent him yelping Tonawandaward.

The cat is a Pennsylvania wild cat. It is young, but it is business-like. It was received in Buffalo on Monday, a gift from Mr. Charles Goodyear to the Park Zoo. When it was turned over to Superintendent McMillan he had prepared for It a nice wooden box with bars Inches apart.

He looked at the cat and he looked at the box and decided the bars were too close together for the cat to escape. That is where Mr. McMillan erred. He knows a whole lot about wet hay, but when it comes to taking care of a wild cat and making allowances for the ductility of its body he is somewhere near the foot of the class. The cat was put into the cage and admired by Mr.

McMillan, who left the animal securely and safely housed. Tuesday morning Mr. McMillan went to look at the cat and found the cage empty. Only a hair or two on a couple of bars told the story of the cat's squeeze for freedom. The police were notified and orders were sent out to every police station to watch for the cat and kill it if necessary to capture it.

It is safe to say that when the policemen learn of Mr. Morrison's experience the cat will be killed without any parley or pow-wow as to the method of its capture if it is ever caught sight of. The park attaches have been searching through the park ever since the disappearance. The fact of the escape is a Joke on Supt. McMillan, but it is no joke to have a wild cat roaming through the park or around the city, Pennsylfull grown one will attack This vania wild cat is an ugly customer.

A Is a young cat, but old enough to be dangerous to children. While the park attaches were scouring the park for the escaped animal and the police were keeping their eyes open for wild looking cats, William Morrison found the brute on Military Road and lost him again in very short order. The cat showed fight. Morrison lives in Tonawanda and came to Buffalo yesterday to look at a plece of real estate on the Military Road which had been offered him. He brought his dog along with him.

The dog is a mastiff of pedigree, but the kitten from Austin, took the fight out of him in one short round and the dog started for Tonawanda on a gallop. The dog saw the wild cat about the same time the wild- eat saw the dog. Now, no self-respecting dog, even a Tonawanda dog, would think for a moment of attacking a wild cat in the open. But this dog didn't know, you know, He hadn't been in Buffalo long He thought he knew a thing or two, But he didn't know right from wrong. So he tackled the wild cat.

The cat made one strong, grand-stand play and caught the dog on the side of the jaw. The dog departed. Then Mr. Morrison went at the cat. He would kick the hide off its back, but he didn't.

Instead of that the cat ripped Mr. Morrison's trousers and scratched his leg, and was hunching down ready for more serious business when Mr. Morrison, seeing his mistake, followed the dog. No one knows whether the cat is on Military Road yet or not, or whether it has gone back to the park. It is more than likely, however, that It has gone back to the park.

That Is where it will likely be found now. There are trees and underbrush in the park which are congenial to the cat. So if you are walking in the park this afternoon or any other afternoon before the cat is captured or killed and something drops on your back from the trees above or springs at your throat from the bushes, don't wonder what it is. It is the cat. There are all sorts of cats in the world.

Out among the Polish people they are talking about the escape of the koczar, while the few Russians here speak of It as the koshka, French refer to the animal as chat and the Italians as gatto. Of course everybody knows cats came originally from Egypt where they were the whole thing, so to speak. They were petted and made much of in the temples of the devout and the palaces of the rich. A man who didn't have a cat didn't cut much of a figure in society, ecclesiastically, politically, socially or morally. They embalmed their cats in those days and a man who killed a cat got the worst of the argument from a legal point of view.

From Egypt cats went to Italy and so they were spread all over the world until they got to the United States, just like the organs. They came over about the same time, too. Scientifically speaking, a cat belongs to the felidae family, which is pretty large and multiplies rapidly. Any man who has a cat in the house is liable to find half a dozen of the genus fells domestica in a basket any morning. Wild cate are different from the cats HAS DONE GOOD.

Gov. Morton's Verdict on the Crusade Against Paddling at Elmira. DOING BETTER THERE NOW No Complaints Lately--Doesn't Know Whether They Are Paddling, However- What the Prison Authorities Say. TO THE EVENING Albany, June Morton has his eye on the Elmira AlReformatory, though much of the story of the cruelty practiced at that institution under the Brockway management was told while Mr. Morton was absent from this country, he has made himself Acquainted with -the salient features of that remarkable inquiry.

The Brockway contingent know this, 'and have consequently kept their Influential friends constantly at work on the Governor ever since. That he would certainly compel an investigation of the Reformatory If occasion presented is readily seen from his remarks to the NEWS correspondent today. The Governor's attention was called I to the wide-spread story that one of the Reformatory inmates had recently been returned to his home in Brooklyn dead and that fatal injuries had been discovered on his body by an undertaker. This matter appeared to have escaped the Governor in his reading of the dally papers, but he explained that he had been away and had not been able to look at the papers as carefully as usual. He, however, expressed a decided opinion that the Reformatory had profited by the searching process of the recent investigation.

Speaking of it he said: "I have not had my attention called to any misconduct at Elmira since I have been in office. I have not had a single complaint about that institution from any source. My impression that the agitation of the matters brought out by the Investigation through the newspapers has produced decided and salutary change in the Reformatory. If there had been any further cause for complaint about the manner in which the institution is managed, or if the practice of paddling had been continued, I would certainly have heard of it. I think that the Reformatory is now being conducted as it should be." But while thus, expressing himself and intimating he had sources of Information as to the present status of Brockwayism, the Governor also admitted that he had no actual knowledge as to whether the brutalizing influence of the "paddle" had been stricken from the Reformatory course.

When asked point blank if he knew whether or not "paddling" was yet 8. method of punish-, ment at Elmira, he said he did not know. His exact words were: "You understand that I do not control the institution. That Is done by the boara of managers. I have no information as to whether that form of punishment is in vogue now or not." The mention of the managers led to the question as to whether the Governor had taken any action toward filling the last vacancy in that body--that temporarily occupied by Mr.

Rathbone. The Governor said he had not yet given the matter his attention and that he did not know just how soon he should take it up. "I am going awai on short vacation," he said, "and I cannot say now whether I shall consider this matter when I return or not." In this connection he said: "I have been frequently told by representative and influential men that the Reformatory is under good management now and that it ought not to be disturbed by further changes." From this passing remark it appeared, as has been before noted, that the Brockway contingent has been Industriously at work to Ingratiate Itself with Gov. Morton from the very outset of his official career. Their plain object has been to prevent any change In the management that would interfere with the discredited Idas of "reform' that were brought with such ghastly distinctness before the public during the investigation.

That some at least of these ideas have been for the present modified would appear to be the case, unless the unfortunate Brooklyn boy already referred to should turn out to have been murdered at the Reformatory, as was apparently the idea of the undertaker as reported by the newspapers of that city. Nothing was known at either the Executive chamber or. the Prison Department about the Brooklyn case, beyond what had appeared in the papers. As a matter of fact the Prison Department distinctly disclaimed any jurisdiotion over the Reformatory. Chief Clerk Baker, who was Industriously studying a list of the newly appointed State Commission of Prisons, made this assertion and there was nobody to deny him.

The naming of this commission by the Governor under the new law has apparently made the old -departments somewhat uncertain as to who should have authority to investigate, should it appear that the death of the Brooklyn boy casts further suspicion on the Elmira Reformatory. Many well informed persons here think that Brockway and his associates have a wholesome fear of what might well happen with a board that they could not Influence and for this reason have been keeping aloof from their former "reform' practices. Certain it is that the Prison Commission of eight which the Governor has just named has ample power to consider the propriety of the Brockway methods. The law says: "It shall be the duty of said commission to visit and inspect all institutions used for the detention of sane adults charged with or convicted of crime: to aid in securIng the just, humane and economic administration of all said institutions; to investigate the management of all Institutions made subject to the visitation of said commission and the conduot and efficiency of the officers or persons charged with their management." Much was expected of this commission by the framers of the new law, and if it should indeed result in creating a wholesale fear of an investigation in the Elmira Reformatory powers, with the effect that their reprehensible practices shall be stopped, It will be one of the most valuable bits of legislation enacted in recent years, Retail Outing. The Retall Clothing Clerks' Association had a moonlight excursion up the lake last evening as far as Port Colborne and return.

It was a delightful occasion in every. respect and will long be remembered by all who were fortunate in being on board the Columbia.

P. BEYER It Appeared in the "Toronto Mail" and Perhaps the Alien Contract Labor Law Has Been Grossly Violated. The United States grand Jury will shortly be called upon to consider what Inspector DeBarry considers the most flagrant violation of the allen contract labor law ever brought to his attention. It is the outcome of the strike, and how far it has been carried on can be ascertained only by the statement of one of the striking plumbers, who this afternoon stated that there were many Canadians working at the trade in the city and that there were more coming into the city every day. The labor organizations brought the matter to the attention of Mr.

DeBarry and for the past week he has been working up clues, and the facts be related to a NEWS reporter this afternoon were sufficient to warrant the assertion that the United States laws have been grossly violated.

"It is one of the most flagrant vidlations I have ever come across, said Inspector DeBarry this afternoon.
