STEAM MUST GIVE WAY BEFORE ELECTRICITY Speed of 100 Miles an Hour Can Very Easily Be Accomplished. GREAT ADVANCE IN GERMANY. Bleotrio Long-Distance" Railway' Practical-Experiments Have Been Very Satisfactory--Other Uses to Which Wonderful Fluid Is Being Put. Inventive geniuses have been struggling with great problems in various parts world, and recently have met with notesuccesses. In Germany, perhaps worthy, than in any other country, during the past year, developments of international: 1m- portance have taken place.

farreaching results have been accomplished in electrical traction. It now seems certain that steam must give way before electricity. With electricity a speed of 100 1 miles an hour can easily he accomplished, without inconvenience to passengers. In October, 1899, there, was organized at Berlin a corporation, a capital of 500, entitled, the "Company for Experiments In Electric High-Speed Railways," which Included among its members several leading bankers, machine builders, and electrical companies, including Messrs. Siemens Halske and the General Electric Company of Berlin.

The Prussian railway administration put at the disposal of the company 8 stretch of straight, nearly level track, 14.29 miles in length, from Marlenfelde to Zossen, on the triple-tracked military line which leads southward from Berlin. The westward track of the three, which was laid with ordinary steel rails weighing sixwe ty-nine pounds to the yard, was chosen for the use of the experimenters. It was ballasted, and put in perfect repair and stout posts set at intervals of 100 feet throughout its length, on which was set a perpendicular steel bow, the. chord of which sustained three insulators, on which were strung three parallel lines of heavy copper trolley wire, connected from Marien- 1 BROOKLYN TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1903. 5 The Dainty that Fashion decrees for the Parlor, its the -piles, with their thick like weave.

The four additional trolley loops built to relieve the traffic congestion at the Manhattan end of the bridge during the evening "rush" hours, will be thrown open for regular use a week from to-morrow. An assignment of the new loops has been made by Superintendent Rives for the associated trolley companies, and copies of the assignment were forwarded to the officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Compeny, and the Coney Island Brooklyn Company, to-day. It has been necessary for Superintendent Rives to shift several of the lines from the old loops to the new ones, so that there shall be a proper equalization of the cars on the various loops and signs will be made and displayed at each loop indicating the particular line or lines of cars operated over each track. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Coney Island Brooklyn Companies could not agree in the matter of distributing the cars and the allotment accordingly was left to Superintendent Rives, whose decision is final The new loops will not permit of the operation of any more cars than at present, the limit of 280 cars an hour having already beer.

complished hitherto. It propels the fullsized service car at any desirable degree of speed without employing any cumbrous and expensive regulating devices, while deriving its energy from a single-phase carried alter- along nating current of 6,000 volts, the line on one small trolley wire and delivered directly to the motor without conversion to a lower voltage or a continuous current. The far-reaching importance of this demonstration is apparent when it is remembered that electric traction, which has proven so effective and economical interurban and suburban service, has met hitherto some very economic difficulties when applied serious, distances. The method heretofore employed has been to send over the line alternating currents of high pressure which are taken off at intervals by sub-stations equipped with step-down converters that reduce it to a continuous current of low voltage, which is fed into the trolley wire or third rail and thus transmitted to the motors of passing trains. But when the proposition is to extend the same practise to a standard railway, connecting two cities from 100 to 300 miles apart, the cost of the Installation and working expenses TWO-MILE A MINUTE GERMAN ELECTRIC CAR.

felde with the electrical power station at Oberschonweide, on the River Spree, about five miles distant. Motor cars were tested during October and November, 1901. with a three-phase alternating of 10,000 10 12,000 volts, which was reduced by transformers under the floor of each car to an pressure of 1,500 volts and in carried, that condition turned into the motors, cf which each car carried four--two at either end-with an aggregate energy of 1,000 horsepower. The net result of the trials of that year was that motors, cars, and transmission a.pparatus worked to the entire satisfaction of the experimenters, and the speed was gradually increased from 55.9 miles to 150 kilometers, 93.2 miles per hour, at which pace the track began to yield to the enormous strain, so that the experiments were SuSpended. During the two years that have elapsed since the close of the first experiments the track from Marienfelde to Zossen was taken up and relaid with new steel rails weighing eighty-six pounds per yard, resting on heavy spruce ties.

The rails are set on each tie in a steel chair, strongly bolted down, and are joined perpendicularly by beveled joints, seven inches in length, held firmly together by bolts passing horizontally through the fish plates, so that the effectiveness of a continuous rail is practically secured. The old light rails, which had failed in 1901 and were therefore taken up, were laid down flat as guard rails, resting hori-. zontally on special cast-iron chairs in such a way that the flat bottom flange of the 1all stands vertically along the Inside line of each heavy rail and about two inches distant from the inner edge of Its face: The track is a nearly level air line throughout its length, except one curve of 2,000 yards radius near its southern extremity, and is in all respects up to the highest standard of modern railway construction. The motors were likewise improved in various minor details. The interior of the car is provided wth u.pholstered seats lengthwise along the sides, and an open railing incloses at each end the space occupied by the driver, who, standing behind a curved front of plate glass within easy, touch of volt and ampere meters, gauges which show the resistance of the air, and a dial that indicates and registers the speed, controls its movements by turning a pilot wheel.

The present series of trials began on September 15, where those of 1901 had ended, with a speed of 93.2 miles an hour, which whn gradually Increased to the unprecedented rate of 117.38 miles an hour -a small fraction under two miles per minute. Every part of the Installation worked to perfection; the swaying movement WAS scarcely noticeable, and, according to those who were privileged to make the two trial trips from Marienfelde to Zossen and' return, no discomfort from vibration, wind pressure, or other cause was experienced in greater degree than on express train. Careful examination since the trial falls to detect any sign of failure or deterioration in track, car, or transmission system, so that It is hardly too much to assume that the technical problem of electric-traction speed up to 100 miles and more per hour is successfully solved for all localities where straight and reasonably level and wellguarded railway lines can be provided.

A. MEETINGS. Rev. Dr. Mitchell, of Cleveland, to Speak at the Orpheum Theatre.

In line with its policy of having some of the most noted clergymen of the country speak at the Sunday afternoon meeting at the Orpheum Theatre, the Central Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association has secured the Rev. Dr. Charles Bayard Mitchell, of Cleveland. as the speaker for tomorrow afternoon's meeting, which will commence at 3:30 o'clock. Dr.

Mitchell is the of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, that Ohio city, and is known throughout the West because of his ability to appeal to young men. The clergyman THE REV. DR. MITCHELL, OF CLEVELAND. makes the trip to Brooklyn for the special purpose of addressing the members of the Y.

M. C. A. and their friends. A cordial invitation is extended to all young men the meeting.

The topic will be "An Ambitious Man." It was with considerable difficulty that the association induced Dr. Mitchell to come to Brooklyn. In addition to his many church responsibilities, tha clergyman has agreed to address congregations in many Western cities. Dr. Mitchell is also looking after the details of the his erection of congregation a is magnificent building, new and edifice which which is to be one of the finest church buildings in Cleveland.

An excellent musical programme will be given during the meeting. In addition to the association orchestra of twenty pieces, the Vitoria Ladies' Quartet will give several numbers. The announcement that the association had planned an extensive series of Sunday afternoon meetings at the Orpneum has attracted widespread interest in religious circles. Many prominent Brooklyn clergymen have expressed themselves as being heartily in favor of the meetings and declare they are bound to help hundreds of young men. Seldom before has the association planned so much work for a winter season and the response of young men to the announcements has greatly encouraged those in chargo of the work.

It was announced to-day that 8 Bible class for men under the personal direction of Dr. A. F. Schauffler, will meat on Wednesday evenings. The Arst session of the class will be held on November 18, and the sessions will be continued until December 23.

The topic will be, "The Making of a Life." An Interesting musical programme will be provided, with numbers by the Four Beasey Sisters. A beneft performance will be given on Thursday evening, the nineteenth at the Bijou Theatre, on Jay, street, by the Spooner Stock Company, the proceeds of which are to go toward the purchase of a new stained-glass window in St. ProCathedral.

Through a contract with the Post Office of Which the tel graph and Leesystem is a part, the Ferndrucker Company is able to establish a special service for subscribers in Berlin and Its suburbs, who can exchange communications in printed type by way of the main telegraph office. The apparatus is similar to a typewriting machine. After connection la m'ade communication can be had by simply ma on nipulating the machine like a typewriter; even if the addressee is absent the printing goes on automatically on tape. The text of the message is duplicated on the machine of the sender, so that a correct record is kept and mistakes In transmission are avoided.

A great advantage of this new apparatus is that by a simple arrangement the communication can be sent simultaneously to a number of addresses. In this manner. for instance, a person is enabled to communicate with all the newspapers of Berlin by a single writing of the message on his sending apparatus. KEEPER AND COP FALL OUT. Former Friends in Court on Apparently Trivial Charges.

George Leinfelder, 49 years old, of 15 Vermont street, the keeper of Highland Park, in the Twenty-sixth Ward, was arraigned before Magistrate Furlong, in the Gates Avenue Court this morning by Bicyle Policeman Joseph Henshawe, of the Liberty Avenue Station, who charged Leinfelder with intoxication. Leinfelder pleaded not guilty, and will half the members of the New Lots Firemen's Association to prove subpena, that he was not intoxicated last evening. He makes serious statements against the officer. Henshawe is detailed to Highland Park night, and he and Leinfelder, until recently, have been on the best of terms. Lately, it seems, there has been some cause of disagreement between them.

Because so of this condition of things, Leinfelder said in court this morning that he arrest was the carrying out of a grudge which the bicycle cop had against him. Leinfelder's wife and daughter were in court, and they also claim that the arrest was unJustified. "How do you plead?" asked the Magistrate, when Leinfelder was presented before him. "Not guilty," replied Leinfelder. "Your Honor-' "We'll hear what the officer has to interjected the Magistrate.

"Your Honor," said Policeman Henshawe, "I had laid my wheel up against the Ridgewood reservoir fence, and was standing near by, heard my tire, ad knew it was all up with the tire, and when I examined it it had gone flat as a bancake I looked it over, and saw that some one had run a knife in the tire, cutting a slit hall an inch long." This, too, Leinfelder denied. He was daroled, pending further examination. COST OF RUNNING FOR OFFICE. Comptroller Grout and Other Candidates File Sworn Statements of Campaign Expenses.

Swiss Are Getting Enthusiastic Over It. Owing to the increase in the price of coal during the last few years, Mr.

Thormann, a prominent Swiss engineer, wished to find out whether it would not be an advantage to use electrical energy, furnished by hydraulic plants, over the whole of the railroad system of Switzerland. After investigating the subject he published a report which has awakened considerable interest and will no doubt bring about some practical results in this direction. He finds that the substitution of electricity for steam on the railroads is quite practicable, and has many advantages, although it will not bring about any considerable reduction in the cost of operating the roads. The publication of Mr. Thormann's report aroused considerable attention in different quarters, and already one of the railroad companies has applied to the Government for an authorization to use electric trains on a trial stretch of road twelve miles long.

Fell Trees by Electricity. It is reported in the German press that successful experiments have been made in various forests of France in cutting trees by means of electricity. A platinum wire is heated to a white heat by an electric current and used like a saw. In this manner the tree is felled much easier and quicker than in the old way; no sawdust is produced, and the slight carbonization caused by the hot wire acts as a preservative of the wood. The new method is said to require only one-eighth of the time consumed by the old sawing process.

LINDENTHAL TIED UP. Injunction Proceedings May Prevent His Making Contract for Steel Work on Blackwell's Island Bridge. Coming at this time, the legal action taken against Commissioner Lindenthal will have a decided effect on the Blackwell's Isiand Bridge work. The masonry foundations have progressed so far that by the time the steel could be prepared, provided the contract was let at the foundations will be ready to reonce, ceive the superstructure. Should an injunction be issued, it will tie up work for an indefinite period.

While the suit is brought in the name of Daniel S. Sanborn, of Flushing, a member of the Committee of Forty, it is generally belleved that all those citizens of Queens Borough who have of formed this their committed. so far a's they will for the purpose protecting, by the Blackwell's Island Bridge have had a hand in the matter; that the awarding of the big steel may fall to the Tammany Bridge Commissioner, who will take office on January 1. A few adjournments, even should the injunction not issue, might tie Commissioner Lindenthal's hands and throw the whole affair over into the Tammany administration. The contract for the steel superstructure of this bridge will amount to nearly five million dollars.

Bridge Commissioner Lindenthial took the this morning and hurried over to papers confer with Corporation The latter will look after the interests of the city, At the Bridge Department the opinion was expressed morning that the contention of the complainant, that the Commissioner's plans were pecause they have not received the approval of the Board of Alder-: men is a novel point.

The East River Bridge built special act, while the was Blackwell's and Manhattan Bridges constructed according to the laws are being as laid down in the city Charter. Therefore, this is the first time that this question bias come up, according to one of the high of the Bridge Department. The complaint makes several allegations, which it is alleged that the plans among prepared by the Board of Experts appointed the Mayor, are illegal, and that the origby prepared by the Board of Public inal plans Improvements of the Van Wyck, administration are the only legal existing plans for the construction of this bridge. complaint further alleges that there WAS no authority in law for the appointment of the Beard of Experts, and that the acts of the beard and of the Mayor in appointing It. are not binding in any way upon the taxpayers of the city.

It is also alleged that 4 strike clause inserted in the contract is unprecedented and 80 framed that the contraotor can delay work indefinitely without becoming liable for any penalty. The clause provides, In substance, that it there is a strike on the work, not due to any fault of the contractor, the time during which it lasts shall be allowed to the contractor after the date stipulated. for completion, has arrived. The complaint says, on this point: "That such a strike can be manufactured at any time by the contractor by reducing wages or fomenting quarrels with his men, or in many other similar ways. That the insertion such a clause is, as the plaintiff is informed and believes, Illegal, and a waste of the money and property of the city." Steamers' Arrivals.
