Colonel Ira L. Reeves, administrator, charges a fund of $160,000 has been raised by bootleggers to oust him, and Colonel Farl McManus, former chief en- forcement agent, is charged with purloining government alcohol. A warrant for the arrest of Me-| Manus, a former friend and business| assoclate of Reeves, has been Issued. It charges McManus with “unlaw-| tully and feloniously purloining one | Clydesdale auto truck, one White| truck, 29 drums of alcohol and 24 barrels of denatured alcohol, all the property of the United States gov- ernment, on Nov. 30, 192 McManus was out of town when the warrant was issued and United | States Commissioner Conlon fixed | bail at $5,000. The warrant was i sued on alleged evidence obtained by Frank J. Hale, a government in- vestigator, who said the whole af-| fair would be investigated by the| tederal grand jury which meets in renton, July 18. The deposed agent was by Colonel Reev the service' on Tucsds er McManus' daughter, M Mayardl, of New York city, was rested in west New York, New Jer-| sey, and held before COmmmmnu‘ Stanton at Hoboken on char attempted extortion from a keeper.

SPEEDING TRAIN (UICKLY STOPPED Kutomatic Signal Halts 85 Mile an Hour Express Winslow Junction, N. J., Jan. 7 (#—Rushing over the rails at 85 miles an hour while a red signal flared against it, a Rading passen- ger train yesterday came to a full stop without the engineman turning a hand to halt it. Thus did the company give its first public demonstration of its |new automatic train control system, | by which it is hoped further to in- crease the safety of railway servic The Reading has been experimenting with the automatic system Atlantic City division, but the interstate cor n only recently ap- | proved its operation. The system is as follows: Devices lon the locomotive are operated by an electrical current flowing through the rails from Camden to Atlantic Contact is made by “receiv- 5" or coils located on the pilot | or ‘“cowcatcher” of the engine, which act upon the brakes and the throttle. When the train enters a block with a danger signal set against it, it automatically comes to stop. Should the engineer and | |fireman become incapacitated, offi- | {cials said, the em would elimin- |ate the possibil of a wreck. The automatic control enforces | obedience to signals and compliance | with speed regulations, for when 85 | miles an hour is exceeded the con- {teol is on and unless the engine- Iman “acknowledges” and ches speed, it halts the train. It applies |the brakes if the engineer exceeds 140 miles an hour with caution sig- nals against him, and does the same !thing when he exceeds 20 miles an Ihour when danger signals are dis- played. In the case of open switches or broken rails, it any of the equip- a train stops ahead and leaves no signal, the automatic control stops the train. os The Pennsylv nia railroad also is | installing control an automat s City division, tem on its Atlantic which is itself a natural amphithea- ”lhls s expected to be in operation | ter.
