TIDEWATER WILL EXPERIMENT WITH GASOLINE CARS In an effort to meet the inroads being made on their earnings by jitney competition, the Tidewater Southern railroad is to experiment with gasoline motor cars on their line, according to an announcement made today by President Byron A. Bearce.

Plans have been completed for the construction of such a car in the local shops of the Central California Traction Company and work will be 1 begun in a few Cays. It is expected that the car will be ready for its first trial runs within from 60 to 90 days. Gas cars are belleved by the railroad men to be the only resort with which to combat the automobile traffic, and all who have viewed the plans for the new machine to be built here believe that it will be successful. Light weight is one of the advantages of such a car, states Mr. Bearce, The new motor will be 40 feet in length, capable of carrying 40 passengers seated, and weighs only nine tons--less than a third the weight of the electric cars now in use on the line.

It will be equipped with a 90 horsepower motor, which is already in San Francisco, ready for installation, which will send the car at a rate of 45 miles per hour. The interior of the car will be much the same as the electric cars. leather seats, similar to those in an automobile, will be provided, and the remainder of the interior will be finished in keeping. The entire car will be of steel and Iron, instead of wood, as are the present cars of the company. The outward appearance will be much different than the gasoline cars operated on the Southern Pacific lines, however.

If the car should be a success, and Mr. Bearce believes that it will, he states that the cars will not only be adopted as standard equipment on his line, but the Traction Company also plans to use them. Other interurban lines in the state will watch the periment with interest. CIRCUS MANAGER ARRESTED HERE A. L.
