MODERN WHISTL MANY BLOWN BY COMPRESSED AIR NOW USED. They Are in Great Demand on Ve- hicles and Boats Driven by Other Than Steam Power. “In some localities,” said the repre- sentative of a whistle manufacturer, “they now use on surface cars, in place | © ot the gong, air whistles blown by, compressed air pumped into a tank on the car, The whistles used on the cars of the subway and elevated roads in this city are air whistles, biown by compressed @IF Ii this man- ner. “The air whistle is similar in de sign and appearance to the steam whis- te, but different in some details of its construction and in the adjustment of its parts, to aaapt it to the use of air instead of steam. “On many power boats, not driven by steam, there are now used alr whis- es. These whistles are blown by compressed air from a tank kept filled by a pump operated with power from that supplied for driving the boat, or by the boat’s machinery, But we sup- ply also nowadays independent air whistle equipments, consisting of tank, whistle, pump and gauge, the pump of which can be operated by hand; and such outfits are not costly. “We are now selling air whistles for automobiles. “Steam whistles are now made of various kinds, and they are made, of course, in many sizes, and they are made also in various proportionate di- mensions, to adapt them economically to the various uses for which the whis- tles are designed. Speaking of steam whistles in general, you want, to carry sound a‘distance, a whistle with a bell + proportionately long to its diameter; while for nearby warning not only will 8 small whistle do, but a whistle with @ bell proportionately short. “So for a big steamship, requiring a whistle that can be heard miles away, you want not only a whistle of large diameter, but one with a proportion- ately long bell, blown with plenty of pressure; while, for instance, for a steam fire engine running in city Streets, a small whistle with a propor- tionately short bell, a whistle that can be heard a few blocks away, will sérve. “We make now not only plain whig- tles, but chime whistles, mockingbird whistles, organ whistles and sirens. A plain whistle will do for the great steamship, and plain whistles, big and little, are sold for use everywhere, But we sell now great number of chime whistles for various uses. “The chime whistle has within its bell not a single chamber, but three chambers, the blended tons of which produce not the old-time screech, but a sound far more musical. Chime whistles are now extensively used on locomotives, with results far less dis- turbing to the communities through which the railroads run than were the sounds of the locomotive whistles once commonly used. Chime whistles cost more than plain whistles, but the use of them is generally spreading. “The mockingbird whistle is one that fs made by an arrangement of its valves to produce not a single, but a varying note. “The organ whistle is made with an opening in the bell like that in the side of a church organ pipe, giving to the whistle a somewhat organlike effect. A great organ whistle might be set up on a factory in a village for a fire alarm;.a sonorous whistle that could be heard for three, four, five miles, throughout the surrounding country. “There are people, I know, who don’t lke the siren whistle, but it has its uses and its advantages. A siren gives @ boat individuality, and we can iden- “But are pound?

Jesse,’ pres- seen HAT ANN wm | Resolution Calling for the Senator’s Resignation Considered by the New York Assembly. | BELIEVES ACTION DEMANDED BY PUBLIC ] The Saratoga Statesman Declared that fidence W Since the Disclosures Investigation and that f Public Duty. . 16.—The reso- j lution requesting the resignation of ‘Senator Depew was the special order of business: in the senate Tuesday morning. Senator Brackett declared in openiag the debate that he had introduced the Peconargy in obedience to what he | believed to be “the solemn demand of | the right-thin!.ing people of the state,” He denied that he had the slightest wish to humiliate Senator Depew “more than was necessarily implied in any posible resolution of the kind.” He asserted that there was a lack of confidence in the senator named which had been caused by recent dis- closures, He denied the assertion that it was not within the province of the senate to pass a resolution on a subject thority to enforce action and cited res- olutions adopted on the Venezuelan situation and the coal strike several years ago, “I want to say to you and to the peo- ple of the state,” continued Senator Brackett, “that until a more righteous conception of public duty shall pre- vail, we are without hope for the fu- ture; that until the great virile man- hodd of the state shall stand to the proposition that he who offends in the performence of his public duty must suffer the punishment for his offense we can expect little of respect for law, little of regard for public honor and Virtue, and have taken the first long steps toward condoning crimes of whatever kind.” . Senator Brackett declared that al- though he had voted for Senator De- pew he had been opposed to his re- election to the senate because he had believed him unfit for the office and represented unwholesome forces. Any senator present, he said, ought to blush for shime at the representation of his state in the United States senate by either of the present senators. He disclaimed the slightest responsibility for Senator Platt’s re-election and said he would support any other sen- ator's resolution requesting him to re- sign, . Senator Brackett insisted that no service performed by Senator Depew for the Equitable Life Assurange su- ciety dur the 20 years of his $20,000 “retainer” had been other than what he owed as a director of the society. The claim that this enormous sum was paid for legal services excited only laughter and contempt. “Tf there is here on the floor any timid soul among the majority who thinks that this recital will hurt his party, I want to say to him and io every one of my party associates, to state it kindly, but firmly, that if we do not expose, and rid ourselves of and our party, of transactions of that kind there will presently be no party to be injured. “You turn back in the pages of the history of the body in which he has a seat to find a single thing that he hag done worthy of the state. His concep- tion of publie duty has been confined to society functions and never risen to the level of even ordinary states- manship.” Senator Brackett bitterly arraigned Senator Depew as having been know- ingly a “prominent figure in and toler- ator of a system of loot and public de- bauchery, perhaps even to the courts themselves; which tended to under- mine the very life of the nation.” The resolution was defeated by a vote of 34 to 1..

Ware, charged with conspiracy in the alleged land fraud eases, was called Tuesday morning, Frank Lambert, who was indicted with Warg and who testified for the state Monday again took the stand. His testimony was devoted to details of the expenditures he made in securing en- tries by old soldiers and leases of their claims to the U. B. I. Land com- pany. Lambert alleged that all these expenses were paid by Ware, the pres- ident of the company.

AMBASSADOR WHITE 1S WELL PLEASED After a Shor$ Session the Convention Ad- journed Until Wednesday—Story of the Negotiations Which Have Resulted in the Present Meeting and the Issues to be Presented. Algeciras, Spain, Jan. 16—The Moroccan conference has opened. The Duke of Almodovar, the Spanish for- eign minister, delivered the speech of Welcome. It was noticed that the Frehch and British delegates drove to the conference together. Great anima- tion prevailed. The American delega- tion arrived at the town hall following the Spanish, French, German and Brit- ish delegations. Herr von Radowits, chief of the Ger- man mission, proposed the Duke of Almodovar ag president of the con- ference and the other countries rep- resented, including the United States, seconded the proposal. The Duke of Almodovar was unanimously elected president and the conference’ ad- journed at 3:55 p, m. until Wednes- day. Ambassador White was most satis- fied with the result of the meeting as the Duke of Almodovar emphasized the necessity for the independence of Morocco and the open door in which. he was immediately and strongly sec- onded by the Frenchand German dele- gates, On the eve of the Moroccan cogfer- ence it it is well to define the essential issues presented, as these will clearly indicate the general scope of the meeting and the chief danger of the issues involved. On September 28 last, M. Rouvier for France and Prince Radolin for Ger- many reached an agreement on the ex- act programme of the conference, This programme is quite short as it was part of Rouvier's skilful diplomacy to bring the conferencee within the closest pos- sible limits. The programme agreed upon was as follows: “The two governments are in accord in proposing to the sultan the follow- ing programme: “1—Organization, by international accord, 6f the police, except on the Algerian frontier. “2—Surveillance and repression of contraband arms, except along the Al- gerian frontier. “3—Financial reforms, with the cre- ation of a state bank, with the privi- leges of issuing currency. “4—Study of the customs, and new means of raising revenues,” The agreement contains some other minor features, but the foregoing are the essential questions to be presented to the Morocco conference. France throughout the controversy and up to the opening of the confer- ence has maintained that she had a special or privileged position in Mo- rocco, That is the vital question about to be considered, for the questions of contraband and customs are largely detail, If the special position of France is recognized then the coming confer- ence will turn over to France the or- ganization of the police and military, and the surveillance of contraband. In short all of the questions involved hinge upon the main question as to whether the special position of France is to be clearly recognized by the fore- going agreements Germany uas recog- nized the need of some outside super- vision over Morocco. It remains to decide who will exercise this super- vision, in which she and all other powers shall take equal part, some- thing like the international adminis- tration of Macedonia and Crete, On the other hand, France consistently up- holds her special and paramount right, based on geographical position, to safeguard the future of Morocco, act- ing thug as the virtua] trustee for the nations. The issues before the conference are, therefore, comparatively simple, first, shall France be charged with the necessary reforms for Morocco; and, second, the detailed consideration of these various reforms relating to fin- ances, police, customs and contraban&.
