HUNTING FOR FOULTZ Yesterday's Search Created Excitement at ‘Tenleytown, Man Living im the Woods Who May Be the Much-Wanted Murderer. A state of excitement, bordering on terror in the case of women and children, was created yesterday afternoon, as stated in The Star, in the country in the vicinity of Chevy Chase and Tenleytown, by what was termed a “man hunt.” It was partici- peted in by all the county police, the re- serves from Georgetown and about 100 farmers, armed with rifles and shotguns. They were searching for Foultz, the elusive colored murderer, who was reported to have been seen in the woods back of the colored school house on the Grant road between Connecticut avenue extended and Tenley- town. The report circulated like wildfire and the entire neighborhood was aroused to a state of intense excitement by the sudden appearance and mysterious movements of several platoons of police, accompanied by the patrol wagon. The farmers soon caught the infection, and it seemed as if every resident for miles around was on the scene. All of them bore firearms. Most of them carried shotguns. The others carried pis- tols openly and ready for action. The story was that Foultz had been con- cealed in the woods mentioned for about twenty days, his food being secretly sup- pled by friends at Fort Reno. The police, aided by the citizens, surrounded the woods yesterday and gradually closed in on the place where the man was supposed to be; « he was not there. That he had just left there hastily for a place of greater se- curity was evidenced by the finding of a basket filled with provisions, which he had been compelled to desert in his audden flight. How he managed to break through the cordon was not known, but that he did was indicated by his subsequent appearance in the woods to the south near the Pierce Mill road. At least the rumor got abroad that he had been seen there, and the police and farmers scoured the country thorough- ly between Pierce Mill and Grant roads and Connecticut avenue and Tenleytown road. The police and most of their citizen aids were on horseback and did considerable damage to the ripening fields of grain through which they recklessly rode in their efforts to secure the reward offered for the capture of Foultz. The search was maintained far into the night, being aided by a bright moon; but without the least suc- cess. The affair frightened all the women and children in the neighborhood, many of whom passed a restless night. There is no doubt that a colored man has been living in the woods near Grant road on food supplied by friends, but there is con- siderable doubt as to his identity. Some- bedy suggested that it might be Foultz, and the suggestion subsequently became gener- ally accepted a8 a fact. That individual is credited with having declared that he would not be taken alive, and the majority of the men on the search last evening were pre- pared to shoot him’on sight. The appear- ance of many bands of armed men, walk- ing, running and riding over the various reads, at first gave rise to a rumor that a lynching was in prospect, but it was soon ascertained that the real purpose of the hunters was the capture of an alleged mur- Gerer supposed'ito. be in the neighboring woods. ——-—___ “Klondike Avenue.” Residents of Division street, West In- dianapolis, have signed a petition to the board of public works asking that the name of the street be changed to Klondike avenue, because “Division” street means nothing now, and because all the parallel streets are known as avenues. The street used to divide the town from the prairie, but that is now ancient history, and the residents believe that they are entitled to a richer nome for the street. Recent Pensions Granted. Pensions have been granted as follows: Maryland—Henry Brown, Friendsville; Rebecca J. Brown, Friendsville; Belinda Rote, Baltimore; Ella M.

SYSTEM AS OPERATED IN NEW YORK Experiments Made With a Similar Machine on Eckington Line. THE COMPARISONS MADE Engineer W. A. McFarland of the Dis- trict engineer department, who was recently in New York making a second inspection of the air motor system as developed there in the propulsion of street cars, has made a written report of his observations, and in addition, has giver. a statement of the re- sults of a late test of the same system as operated over the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home route in this city. The report is addressed to Engineer Com- mission-r Black, and is as follows: In accordance with verbal instructions, I have the hoaor to submit the following re- port on my inspection of the compressed air motor cars new in use by the Metro- politan Street Railway Company of New York’ city, and also of those formerly used on the 125th street lin At the time of my visit, August 19, 20 and 21, there were two compressed air cars, fitted with Hoadley-Knight compound mo- tors, on regular day service, between Len- ox avenue and 146th street, and 109th streot and Columbus avenue—the route followed being Lenox avenue to 116th street, to Manhattan avenue, to 109th street, to Co- lumbus avenue. Similar to No. 400. These vars and motors are the same in all essential respects as the “No. 400” now in use in this city. They are run in be- tween the “underground electrics” with which the line is equipped. The total length of run out and back is said to be five miles, with a maximam grade of 7% per cent on 109th Street, and a@ grade of about 3 per cent on Manhattan avenue. Time occupied in making a round trip was 36 to 40 minutes; time for re- charging with air, two minutes; for re- so little as to sound ridiculous.

Each of the two cars in use makes about : * a dozen round trips per day, and during 42 by 90-inch hemmed ready-made sheets the time of my observation ‘carried pa ee wear at sengers, made the u: maintained speed without difficulty and climbed the steep grade on 109th street at a rather better rate than did the electrics. The passenger traffic was light, and the weather favorable. The only point which Seemel open to criticism from the passen- ger’s point of view was the puffing sound from the exhaust, which was quite notice- able in starting and in climbing grades, but which could not be heard when under headway on a comparatively level track. Fall of Pressure. The following statement,showing fall of air pressure on each of the two cars inspected, indicates possible length of run under ex- isting conditions: No. 411—Initial, 2,500; at end of two and a half miles, 1,650; at end of five miles, 1 number of sto; 1,300. Total loss, 1,200; reserve, 1,300. Greatest possible run, ten miles. No. 426—Initial, 2,400; two and a hal? miles, 1,850; five miles, 1,625; ten miles, 900. Total loss pressure, 1,500; reserve, 900. Greatest possible run, fifteen miles. The difference in fall of pressures on the two cars is due to the greater reservoir capacity of 426. In addition to the two cars at present in use there are three others in the Bea ees intended for this ser of em Ing already uipped w Hoadley-Knight motors. if Piping a Conduit. There is a line of extra heavy one-inch iron pipe laid in the electric conduit along the above named route, for recharging the cars at the southern end of the line, if nec- essary; this pipe line was not under pres- sure at the time of my visit, and I was informed that it had not been during the pest summer. There is, however, about the power house at 146th street a considerable amount of one-irch and one-and-u-half- inch pipe under pressure (gauge) of pounds per square inch. An inspect shop at the no} scme four or five hundred feet of this pip- ing failed to disclose any evidenze of leaky jeints. I was assured by several employes about the station that no trouble from leaks had been experienced. The is said to be ordirary commercial eavy” iren pipe. and is connected up with “tight- joint” fittires. The street cars fitted with the Hardie compressed air motors, which were for- merly usec on 125th street, have been with- drawn from service, and at the time of my visit were in the car barn on 125th street. Motors Are Simple. The motors are simple (not compounded), with inside cylinders and outside cranks, the connecticns between the main connect- ing rods and crank pins being through the medium of rocker arms and rock shaft. Al! working parts are close to the roadbed and exposed to dust and dirt. There are said to be over 100 wearing parts so ex- pesed, each requiring separate lubrication. Mr. Hardie, the inventor of the motor, operatec on> of the cars for a short dis- tance back and forth on the track in the car track, and demonstrated the fact that the motor and car were under excellent control; size of cylinders, seven by four- teen inches. The cars are shorter and lighter than those fitted with the Hoadley- Knight motors, end used by the Metropoli- tan Street Railway Company. The line on which the cars were used is practically level except for one short steep grade; length of round trip, four and one-half miles. The Claims Made. ‘The following claims are made for. these cars by the American Compressed Air Power Company: A mileage of over 30,000, with practically no breakdowns, and with a cost of main- tenance of only % cent per car mile. A consumption of from 369 to 490 cubic feet of free air per mile. That cars ran during heavy snow and sleet storms, when other surface lines were tied up, with an increased air con- sumption of only 20 per cent, and an in- crease of 20 per cent in number of pas- sengers carried. ARES inspection was also made of the Hardie locomotive used in making tests on the Manhattan elevated railway, and of the compressor plant on Greenwich street used in connection therewith. From this plant to the Rector street station is a pipe line about 750 feet in length and 2.7 inches imternal diameter, used for conveying air from the compressors to the locomotives. ‘This line was under a pressure of 180 at- mospheres, or about 2,700 pounds per square inch, and. showed no signs of leak- age. The line is suspended from the ele- vated structure, and is everywhere in sight. It is also connected up with the tight joint fittings mentioned above. It is claimed by Mr. Pettee, engineer of the American Compressed Air Power Com- pany, that the cost of compressing 1,000 cubic feet of free air to 2,300 pounds gauge pressure, at this plant, is 2.75 cents. ‘The Local Tests, On my return to Washington a few tests were made to determine the amount of trailer load motor car No. 400 was capable of hauling.

Subsequently three box trailers were added to the train, and it was hauled from 4th and T streets to 4th street and Bunker Hill road and _re- turn. Time, 17 minutes; distance, 3.6 miles; maximum grade, 41-4 per cent. August 26 a train of eight cars, con- sisting of air motor 400, electric motors 5 and 23, and five box trailers, were hauled over the same route at a fair rate of speed. Total weight of train stated as 82,000 pounds. Several trials show that the maximum speed of the air motor car, running light, is considerably in excess of that of the elec- tric trolley cars on the same route. These speed trials were made in running up the grade on 4th street northeast, from Albany street to the top of the hill; maximum grade, 41-4 per cent. — ——, A SCAR FOR A TEXT. Incident im the Boyhood of Major Batterworth. Commissioner of Patents Butterworth carries a long scar on the first finger of his left hand which recalls an interesting story of his juvenile career. Some years before the war young Ben Butterworth, the son of a good Quaker, who was an un- compromising abolitionist, was going to school in southern Ohio. That part of Ohio was one of the hottest battlefields for the abolition of human slavery. While there were no slaves there, it was only necessary to go across the southern border to find plenty of them in Kentucky and Virginia. The prevailing sentiment was averse to the doctrines of the abolitionists, and the father vf Ben Butterworth was looked upon as a dangerous element in the community, standing up as he did on all occasions in condemnation of the in- stitution of slavery. He was one of those sturdy Quakers who adhered to the “thee” and “thou” of the patriarchs as forms of speech and dressed himself and family in the simple garb of the sect to which he belo: .
