MAN Kilpatnck Says He Has New Invention to Harness Power We Must Crush Germany Before We Can Think of Ending the War, Declares Roosevelt Generated in the Elements LOS ANGELES, October 5. "Don't stop me. He saved my life, and I want to shake his hand," said a man in the uniform of an hotel employee as he pressed forward in the crowd that' gathered about the entrance of the Alexandria Hotel on the arrival today of James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany. The who was, stopped by plain clothes men, was Michael Rudolph Popovitch, a Serbian house man at the hotel.

Popovitch was interned at a German prison camp at the outbreak of the war and was released through the efforts of Mr. Gerard. Has Elbert Craig Kilpatrick. aged San Francisco school teacher and electrical engineer, conceived a free energy generator similar to Garabed, the new Invention that promises to revolutionize science and win the war for the United States? Kilpatrick yesterday made public the details of his invention through Hiram V. Johnson his attorney, after reading dispatches from Wash ington, D.

that Congress has in NEW YORK, October 5. Theodore Roosevelt, speaking here to-night at fc "National Service" mass meeting under the auspices of the Mayoris Committee on National Defense, declared the only peace which will make the-world safe for democracy, must be based upon the complete overthrow of Germany and the dissolution of Austria and Turkey. Included in the programme he outlined were a free Arabia and Armenia, Poland and Lithuania, with an independent Czech commonwealth, and a Jugo-slay 6tate. "Continually we hear rumors of peace," ho said. "I think the circulation of such rumors is injurious to America and to the cause of decency and democracy.

We should make it clearly understood that the conduct of Germany has been such that we regard as enemies of mankind all people who would strive to terested Itself in a. device perfected by Garabed Giragossian, a Boston engineer.

The slightly reduced disability and family allowances provided by the Senate were retained by the con- ferees. Since Congress convened irt Its extraordinary war session last April and up to to-day it has placed at the disposal of the administration $17,000,000,000 and has authorized contracts for almost $2,600,000,000 more. Most of the money was for war purposes, including $7,000,000,000 for loans to the allies. The appropriations committees, through their chairmen, Martin and Representative Fitzgerald, made the figures public to-day, coupling with them the declaration that Congress had done its work in furnishing the- money for the war very effectively.

FIT2HAMON. Reserve Major David P. Barrows, formerly dean of the faculties at the University of California and commissioned a major in the officers' reserve corps, made a short farewell call at lie Presidio before setting sail for Manila, He said that Reserve Captain Thomas A. Driscoll, wealthy San Matean, famed for his lawn tennis and polo skill, had secured transfer from the machine gun battalion Barrows commanded while at American Lake and that he now is commanding a company of the 863d Infantry, National Army. JTrlscoll liked the machine gun work, but his friend Henry Brecken-ridge is major in the 363d, and when Reggie McNally arrived to become lieutenant colonel of that regiment, they had little trouble about pulling Driscoll over to them," explained Major Barrows.

As captain of troop in the squadron of the First Cavalry, commanded during the Panama Pacific Exposition by "Jimmy" Harbord, now brigadier general and chief of staff for General Pershing, Captain McNally became widely, known here and down the Peninsula. He played on the First Cavalry's team all through the Exposition's polo tournament of seven weeks and he rode two winners during the thoroughbred racing.

Representative Slegel's bill for twenty additional army chaplains, designed to make places for faiths not now represented, including Jews, was passed by the Senate and went to President Wilson who has said he would sign it. All rules pertaining to the regulation of army cantonment camps and vicinity in order to protect the soldiers from vice were extended to naval training camps in a bill adopted bv the Senate.

President Wilson, as the central figure in the great war, was the topic of an address by Surveyor of Customs John S. Irby last evening before the Iroquois Club. Irby recounted personal phases of the President's activities, told how the President prepared his great war understood that the Monroe Doctrine Is to be upheld in the future as in abed," the fuelless engine that is designed to revolutionize war and make peaceful pursuits more profit tised to Influence Congress was con the past South of the equator this navy officials.

Outside force starts it mov-' ing, but if, let-alone it will run until it racks itself to pieces on its own power. The inventor claims that It will revolutionize all mechanical locomotion.

The developments it permits in aircraft, steamship, railway and automobile engines stagers the imagination. It forecasts a new era in the world of power. All of this is possible by the utili-' zatlon of the negative current which has formerly been grounded or wasted in all motors so far produced, he says. The harnessing of this wasted force is the secret of Kllpatrick's invention. The inspiration -for the motlor which he now believes he has realized came to Kilpatrick when he was twenty-two years old.

He 'has labored on the idea ever since and has expended over $20,000 on models, plans, tools and experiments. He la now sixty-six years old. Kilpatrick was backed financially In his undertaking by Arthur Arlett, president of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners; JVnjamin Mc-Dougall. architect, and Allen Moyer, real estate dealer.

Three years ago Kilpatrick approached Moyer who laughed at the idea but advanced money. Moyer backed Kilpatrick through many failures. Finally he reached his financial limit, and he and Kilpatrick interested Arlett and McDougall, thi three putting up $1,200 for a last attempt. Three months ago Moyer was aroused by Kllpatrick's pounding at his door with the statement, "It works, it works." They proceeded at 1 o'clock in the morning to Kllpatrick's laboratory and saw the investor's "dream motor" actually running on power furnished by its own action.
