DENVER MAN HAS
NEW INVENTION
Claims He Can Harness
Gravity and Solve the
Power Problem.
BY MICHAEL F. DACEY,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
Denver, Sept. 3. Invention of a ma
chine that will "harness gravitation"
is the claim of W.4 F. Garbe, Denver
mechanic and shopkeeper. "
A working model of the new inven
tion, which is on display in Garbe's
North Denver shop, is attracting wide
attention.
The machine comprises a system of
wheels, around which link chains op
erate there being a weight affixed
the center rigid portion of the ma
chine, which contains the axis "wheel,
also riicid. The weight, instead of
dropping like that of a clock, revolves
and thereby, Garbe declares, counter
balances the slack and produces gravi
tation which forms the force of the
machine and which it harnesses, ready
for man to use.
Garbe asserts that, with his , ma
chine perfected and built to suit 'ill
purposes, it will run any kind of ma
chinery and will eliminate the neces
sity of fuel in producing power.
"W1L.1., RUN INDEFINITELY."
"Some might call my machine per
petual motion, but there is no such
thing as perpetual motion," Garbe de
clares. "My machine, however, wi'l
run indefinitely.
"I realize that it has been universally
taught that harnessing gravitation is
an impossibility, but I am confident
that I have solved the problem.
"I do not claim to know what the
force ol gravitation is; nor does the
electrical expert know the composition
or force of electricity, nor the physi
cian the force behind radium, but for
more than 30 years I have been int?r
sted in the study of harnessing gravi
tation, having studied it frem every
angle and my machine is based upon
mathematics."
"FORCE VE CANNOT UNDER
STAND. ""We know that it is gravitation that
holds the unnumbered worlds together
a force that we cannot understand.
"In Ezeklel there is mention of a
'wheel within a wheel,' and of 'the spir
it of the machine,' and it is the com
; bination of these that I have worked
out. I have assembled my machine on
thep lanetary system, with mathemati
cal precision, nd 'the spirit of the ma
chine' is that unknown force.
"I am a practical machinist, and I
am convinced that I have solved the
problem of harnessing gravitation. I
am perfectly willing to give demon
strations to the skeptical.
"I know with my machine I can in
crease or decrease power; that in my
working model I can demonstrate this
power, and. as it operates itself and
has its own power in operation, there
is no need for coal or other fuel.
"With this machine I can run a sew
ing machine or operate a great indus
try." GREAT BEAN CROP.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 3. "My yard
is full of them," declared Thomas J.
Riley, local resident, as he displayed
two bean pods on one stem. One pod
was ;4 1-4 inches long and the other
33 1-4 inches in length. And Mr. Riley
does not claim to be a champion bean
raiser.

plow, harrow, drill; to run the thresher, the
corn sheller, the hay baler or what-not. For
Fordson Tractors are not only doing in the
most economical and most efficient manner, all
general field work for farmers the world over,
but they are saving them time, labor and
money in taking care of every power job.
It combines all of the qualities all of the ad
vantagesyou have wished for in a tractor.
It is light; it is powerful; it is efficient; it is
economical in both fuel consumption and up

incident to reception and entertainment
of the exposition's special guests. The
work of providing seats for about 2,000
people in the great airdome, which a3
joins the exposition building, is under
way, and the concessionaires have been
arranging their booths, which are lo
cated along the airdome wail.
GOOD MUSIC PROMISED
All arrangements have been .complet
ed for the appearance of musicians and
singers. The official New York city
band of 40 members, directed by A. H.
Nussbaum, four notable vocalists and
one violinist, will appear at each of
the afternoon and evening concerts dur
ing the first two wcoks. Strictly Caro
lina, music, both band and vocal, will
feature the closing week, five ban as
having entered the competition for the
prizes offered by the exposition, and
four picked singers have been engaged
to appear twice caily.
The exposition received advices late
Saturday that the leading civic organi
zations of "Winston -Salem have definite
ly fixed September 12 as Winston-Salem
day, when special trains will be op
crated into Charlotte. It was stated
that at least 1.000 people will come
from the Twin Cities, with Mayor Hanes
leading the visitors. Their own brass
band, musicians and singers will accom
pany the crowd, and elaborate plans
for a hilarious one-day 9tay in Charlotte
are being worked out. John Brown,
of the Xissen Wagon Co., was one of
the primo movers in this plan.
Th? Kiwanis club was the first to defi
nitely throw the weight of its influence
back of this movement. The Rotary
club, Newcomers club. Civitan club,
Country club, school officials. Chamber
of Commerce and other Winston organi
zations are heartily supporting the
movement, the exposition's advices de
clared. Two exhibits which willceupy large

BIG TOBACCO EXHIBIT
Thirty-six of the exhibitors are rep
resentative of the textile industry, and
in these exhibits will be displayed ihe
products of more than 75 plants. Many
of these exhibits will be prepared at
great expense to display the products in
a most advantageous and interesting
manner. Several great companies of
this state representing another of the
most important industries the tobacco
manufacturing industry are taking a
keen interest m the exposition and
have expended thousands of dollars on
their displays. One of these companies
will have a miniature factory in opera
tion, with a bevy of young women ac
tually making cigarettes.
Information coming to the exposition
offices carries impression that the best
thought of the manufacturers has been
given to the development of the individ
ual exhibits, assuring the visitors hour3
of pleasant inspection.
One of the new problems the exposi
tion has been brought to face, Execu
tive Secretary J. C. Patton reports, is
that growing out of requests of numer
ous exhibitors for larger space. While
several hundred square feet of space
was reserved to meet such a contin
gency, Mr. Patton said he doubted the
space reserved would be sufficient to
meet all such demands, which are in
creased in number each day.
PREMIER WIRTH

post, he would have manifold reasons,
therefore, from the difficulties arising
from the forthcoming discussions in the
Reichstag. But it would be more in
accord with his inclination and tem
perament to dissolve the refractory
Reichstag, or, at least, to threaten it
with dissolution.
Such a threat would be a victory for
him, for the deputies know all too well
that he would win in an election battle
under the slogan that every group of
the population must share the repara
tions burden. '
But whether the battle can be feught
under this slogan, unfortunately does
not depend upon the German parties,
but upon Germany's treaty adversaries
in the Versailles peace.
If, by autumn, the ''sanctions" are
not removed as a receipt for Germany's
honest fulfillment intentions; if the
French troops by then have not evacu
ated the punitively occupied Rhineland
and if a measurably satisfactory solu
tion of the Upper Silesian question haa
i ot resulted, then the cabinet opponents
will use the foreign policy as a plat
fcrm. They will then present it as a failure
of the chancellor that, despite all clear
ly shown fulfillment intentions, he had
not succeeded in awakening a confi
dence on the part of the Entente which
the latter could manifest through its
deeds.
A tax crusade, arousing violently the
minds of those whose fortune is to be
touched, can never be concluded if the
originator of these taxes has no extern
al political successes to throw into the
scales.
Whether Wirth can remain or must
go, depends upon the good or bad elec

makes for him.

ment reached the point it has reached
in "West Virginia. There thousands of
miners, who say they are jobless and
who claim to have been evicted from
their homes, seem actuated only by a
blind desire for revenge upon the mir..i
owners and their 'guardsmen.
Labor's attitude of mingled suspicion
and defiance toward the rest of the
community has grown out of a number
of causes. Labor resented bitterly
what it has called the scrapping of the
machinery of the Department of La
bor, built up during the war, just at
the time when it was needed to bene
fit wage earners during the readjust
ment period. Labor is fearful of the
powerful "open shop" advocates. Labor
j charges many members of Congress of
working in the interest of predatory
j corporations, and points to the dis
covery oi sucn joKers in legislation as
the industrial draft measure killed
out of the military bill"!ast year at
the eleventh hour.

SPECIAL SESSION
ConfniiPf1 From Fii-re Ob'j.1
Such an act on the part of the chief
executive a few years ago would have
been regarded as political hari-kari of
the surest and swiftest sort. But Mr.
Harding is almost naive in his frank
ness and absence of guile, He has
reached out for big men wherever they
might be found.
One of the distinct surprises of the
first six months of the Administration
has been the close co-operation, one
might almost say the intimacy, between
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes. Mr Hughes is credited with
having more influence at the White
House today than almost any other
man in, Washington. Frequently it was
predicted that the foreign relations com
mittee of the Senate might guide the
President's foreign policy, but Mr.
Hughes has been supreme in that field.
All of which is in keeping with the
President's policy is giving to the mem
bers of his cabinet the greatest possi
ble authority in their respective depart
ments. Mr. Harding believes strongly
in team play.
CONGRESS HAS IDLED
But Congress has not been playing
the game with the Prsidnt Th
President wanted 1x legislation before

Perhaps he did not assert himself strong
ly enough at first, but, as already stat
ed, he was reluctant to appear in the
role of dictator to the legislative branch.
The House delayed the entire legisla
tive program by taking up the tariff
first- The Senate will reverse the or
der, but the damage of great delay al
ready is done.
The President wanted Congress to
pass the bill giving relief to the rail
roads, feeling that payment of the rail
road claims at this time would throw

millions of dollars into industry and
stm-t the wheels of industrial rehabili
tation. The present recess found the
bill still . in the Senate.
The President wanted the bill for
the refunding of the Allied debt to
pass quickly, hoping that it might have
a reviving effect upon our lost foreign
trade. But nothing definite has been
accomplished. The President has had
to assert himself before Congress and
will have to do so again.

for many long years. The President'
smoothed out the difficulties in the Sen- j
iitft in speeciy rasnion.
AN ADD SITUATION
As to another treaty, it wiil be for
history to say whether or not the German-American
pact just signed at Rer
lin has been an achievement. There
has never been another treaty like it
a treaty so dependent upon another
treaty already i-epadiated by the United
State Senate. "An adroit handling
of a delicate situation" is one official
explanation of the treaty.
The President has made a brave fight
for government economy and for de
partmental reforms. In doing so he
has gone up against "the system," and
the battle is not proving an easy one by
any means.
Personally, as President, Mr. Hard
ing has been gracious and amiable to a
marked degree. He has permitted
himself to be imposed upon at times,
but he has believed that the President
belongs to the people and should min
gle with them as much as possible. He
has good naturedly allowed himself to
be photographed time without number,
not through any enjoyment of the pro
cess on his part, but because he has felt
he. was adding something to the pleas
ure of those privileged to be in the pic
ture with him. The opening of the

NEW PLANS FOR
MEXICANTANGLE
Harding Man Confers With
President Obregon Over
Situation.
By LOUIS P. KIRBY,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
Mexico City, Sept. 3. Outside of
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes, the American most talk
ed about in Mexico today is Elmer
Dover, of Tacoma, Washington. Mr.
Dover, who came to Mexico with a
group of Pacific Coast bankers and,
while here, held numerous conferences
with Presoident Obregon, is now in
Washington, where - he is working to
bring about an agreement between the
United States and Mexico. If he is
successful and the United. States Gov
ernment recognizes the Obregon Gov
ernment it is likely that Mr. Dover .will
be the next American Minister to Mex
ico. There have bgeen no outward indica
tions that Mr. Dover is making prog
ress, but Mexican officials and Ameri
can business men in Mexico have not
given up hope.
Mr. Dover was active in President
Harding's campaign. Formerly he liv
ed in Ohio and at one time, was secre
tary of the Republican National Corii
mittee. When he departed for Wash
ington he left behind high hopes that,
owing to his close relationship with Re
publican officials, he might be able to in
duce Secretary Hughes to change his
severe attitude toward Mexico.

, ! ui nnht that most of the
Americans here are eager for American
recognition. Some, having businesses
which would improve with recognition
or concessions from the Mexican Gov
ernment, favor immediate, uncondition
al recognition. Others would be sat
isfied if the United States modified its
attitude toward Mexico. They talked
with Mr. Dover while he was here ana
impressed their views upon him.
Whether Mr. Dover carried any pro
posals to Washington with him is not
known, but Mexican officials emphasized
to him their desire for recognition be
fore any treaty negotiations were under-
Mexicans have been led to believe
that propaganda for recognition is
making much progress with the pub
lic in the United States.
HOPE TERMS ACCEPTED
It must be admitted that there are.
numerous Mexicans who wish' to see the
State Department's terms accepted by
the Obregon Government. These Mex
icans are property owners who look for
ward to the day when radicalism will
be eradicated from the Mexican Consti
tution and statute books. Curiously
enough the ranks of substantial prop
erty owners are being recruited from
the new element thrown into high
places by the revolution. Many of
these "new men'' are rapidly growing
rich.
Some have become large property
owners, but have confined their pur
chases to city real estate. Only a few
have ventured to become owners of
large landed estates, because for ten
years the big lsrd owners in Mexico
have been the chief target of attack.
What the newly rich dread most is
collection by State governments in the
form of borrowing and accommodation
or advance payments of taxes. Men
who have sold mines or other valuable
property have ihrunk from publicity,
fearing a quiet but firm request from
the State Governor for "accommoda
tion." ,
