No More Revolutions With United
States Arms: No more will cheap
revolutions in neighboring countries be
encouraged by the easy manner in which
ii has been possible to purchase the old
arms of the United States. Orders have
been issued at the war department to
Stori sol line thorn It hat Iwon ? /????*? ?
at various times that revolutionists in
Central and South America obtain arms
from the United States.
It remained, however, for the police of
Chicago to complain that the sale of the
old Springfield rifles, recently discarded,
was causing trouble for them. That complaint
was followed by an order against
the sale of the remaining 9,000 rifles by
auction. These rifles may be sold to patriotic
organizations only.
F. Marion Crawford L .d: The funeral
of F. M rlon Crawford, ihe American novelist,
who died April 9, took place on
April 12, in Italy. The ceremony was
exceedingly simple. The little town of
Saint Agnello, was filled with well-known
persons from Rome, Naples, Capri,
Sorrento and Florence, who had come to
pay a last loving tribute to the memory
of the author. The public buildings of
Sorrento as well as many private houses,
displayed flags at half mast.
Against Electrification of the Railroads:
Railroad operatives of Chicago and the
state generally, are on the warpath
against the proposed electrification of
railroad terminals. They intend to send
a delegation to Springfield to protest
against the senate bill providing for
electrification of all terminals in Illinois.
Their objection to electrification is based
on the alleged increased danger to switchmen,
track men and other operatives.

grunting rebates to the American Sugar
Company has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
case of the United States vs. the New
York Central Ac Hudson Railroad Company,
involving the question whether a
railroad company, which is a party to a
rebate transaction, but was not the initiatory
road, can be criminally prosecuted
for a violation of the Elkins antitrust
law, was decided by the court
against the company. The New York
Central was indicted in connection with a
number of other companies, including the
Missouri Pacific, cn the charge of granting
rebates in 1903 to the Brooklyn Cooperage
Company, for material shipped
iK'iu i-uyLijcii uiuu, la., 10 urooKiyn, IN.
Y. It was shown that all the railroads
cone.erued in the the shipment had a joint
tariff of thirty-five cents a hundred on
such goods between the points named,
and that all of them had been parties to
a rebate of five and three-quarter cents
a hundred on shipments made by the,
Brooklyn company.
No Express Franks:: That the Interstate
Commerce law, prohibiting the
issuance of passes on the railroads, is
applicable to the granting of express
franks was held last week by the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
case of the American Express .Company

against the United States. The case
originated in Chicago.
Castro Still Hoping to Regain Power:
Cumulative evidence which has reached
Washington convinces the officials that
had he been permitted to remain in the
vicinity ot Venezuela, former President
Castro would have made an effort to
recoup his lost prestige in that country.
The former president's utterances printed
in the Cologne Gazette indicating a
sentiment in some sections of Venezuela
favorable to him and to his ambitions,
and other advices, strongly support the
view that Castro felt hopeful of again
restoring himself in public favor in
Venezuela if a chance were given him.
New .Khaki .for .the .Army: The.
achievement of a distinct success in
devising a new grade of olive drab
khaki cotton cloth for summer and tropical
service uniforms to be used by the
United States army, has just been comnletert
hv the en art ofJ
muici ? uuparimeni
For many years the American army has
sought for a grade of khaki that, would
equal the Hong Kong Khaki in use in the
British army, and it is firmly believed
that the new product is by far better
than the material now used by the
English army. So firmly convinced of
this fact are the officials of the quartermaster's
department that an order for a
large quantity of the new material* has
been placed with the mills.
The color of the new khaki tends more
to the brown than to the green or the
olive shade, which makes it more desirable
than the old as regards protective
coloration.
Compressed Air as a Power: Mr. J. I.
Pittman of Valdosta, Ga.t invented, and
nas been at work for three years, 011 the
model of an automobile which is propelled
by compressed air, the machine
pumping and compressing the air for its
own power as it runs. He has been
granted a full patent in the United
States, and Mr. Pittman has taken the
necessary steps to protect his interest
in the five of the leading foreign countries.
The patent officials stated to hini
that bis patent was one of the most
important the department has ever
passed upon. Mr. Pittman's theory is

proposes to equip a railroad locomotive,
as well as his automobile, proposing to
pull the heaviest freight or passenger
trains by the power generated by the
train. His invention would mean the
absolute annihilation of steam and
electric power plants. It is understood
that Mr. Pittman was offered a naif
million dollars for his invention, and a
royalty on every machine manufactured,
but he declined to sell.
