The weather forcast for the week as made by .the Government Weather Bureau Sunday is: ' " J J '' "The distribution of atmospheric pressure over the Northern Hemisphere is such as to indicate a continuance of moderate temperatures for the season the coming week in all : parts of the country - except the far' Southwest where readings .will be above normal. The rainfall during the week will be generally local and irregularly distri buted.: ' : Disturbance ' of.- moderate intensity will appear in the far West about ; Wednesday, move eastward at tended by local showers and thunder storms and : cross . the - middle .'West Thursday' or Friday and the Eastern States near the end of the week. -t There 'are : no indications ' at the present time, of a disturbance in the West Indies," USE SI IS MOTOR GAR FUEL FOUND TO -WORK PERFECTLY IN HARD TOUR OF MORE . THAN 4,000 MILES. New , York, Aug. 25. Coincident with the return on the Indiana-to-the- coast' automobile tourists to Indianapolis the latest arrival R. , P. Henderson motor car designer divulged important discoveries resulting from the use of kerosene,' for fuel instead of gasoline in two, cars which made the 4 015 mile trip. Ray Harroun well known as a racing driver and Mr: Henderson both jdrove cars that burned kerosene 1914 models of the Henderson Motcr Car Company. if The cheapness qf kerosene as against Tgasoline was impressive. ".'fcacn car earned nve passengers tne cost 'per passenger for fuel being $6.50 for the 4 015 miles or about one-fifth of the railroad excursion rate of $30 to California. In the de luxe model 230 gallons of kerosene were used. ; The cost of the fuel along the route ranged from seven cents to about thirteen cents a gallon. . . ... ' . , - . V Mr- Henderson found that kerosene increased the motor's efficienty. This he discovered was due to the fact that the new fuel has a higher heat unit than gasoline.. The explosive power however .'is not greater;- It took less kerosene vapor than gasoline in the cylinders. No carbon developed in the motor but on the contrary ..the new fuel prevented the torming of carbon deposits. ' . 1 , The trip- with .kerosene as fuel was vital to the automobile industry by reason of the fact that gasoline . had mounted high in' price and engineers were puzzled as to the outcome. Gaso line ranges in price the country over from 20 to 40 scents a ' gallon. , : Both Mr. Harroun and Mr. Hender son were themselves surprised at the degree t of success of the experiment. .. ".''.'Edward Payson Weston' is said to have worn; out fully -twenty pairs of shoes in his coast-to-coast trip ''.. said Mr. Henderson. '.'That was not less than $100 expense. So at $6.50 a passenger for fuel it is cheaper1 to drive an auto mobile to the coast than it is to walk or travel on., a railroad, r In one'spot we drove twenty-five miles- on second gear owing toroad conditions, "-u That meant ; the motor was revolving about three times, as fast as on high gear yet at this tremendous speed the kero sene was turned into vapor1 Just as effectively as at slower speed. ' , The problem of vaporizing kerosene if the thing that barred it, as a fuel previous to our success. In the higher altitudes where the average motpr car loses two per cent, of its power ; for every 1 UUU teet upward it travels ; our cars showed no loss of, power - whatever. At 12 000 feet the average car loses 25 per cent, of its power. We have driven in high altitudes before and have measured power-loss ," accurately - but we were surprised' to find no; such oc currence on this, occasion." f The trip encountered every, possible Condition mud, sand : mountain, rocky passes, high altitudes dry desert at mosphere and . dampness , of . the low country. - The. car ; however failed to develop the least untoward conduct.

' ' Nlftht. VICTIM LIVED -SEVERAL DAYS Bullet Passed . Through Left Lung And Lodged Against The Backbone. After lingering between life and death for- several days Charles Simpson, the special policeman at the Atlantic Hotel at Morehead City who was shot by Julius Parker, the hotel's electrician, in one of he corridors of .that hostelry early on the morning of August -13, died at the Morehead City . Hospital late Saturday night. Everything possible was done, to save Simpson's life but the efforts of the physicians proved of no avail. It was found that the bullet, which entered the left breast just above the heart, had . ranged downward through the left lung and lodged against the backbone. A preliminary hearing had been set for last Thursday, but at that time the physicians could not tell just how badly Simspon was injured and the hearing was postponed until some'thing definite could be learned. Julius Parker, who fired the rata! '.bullet, will now be tried for his life. Simpson's body was taken, to his home at Riverdale on-Sunday and in terred in the cemetery at that place. WITH THE HOTELS.

PATH BESET BY OBSTACLES Says Charges Against Him Are Groundless And Charles F. Murphy Knows It. Washington, Aug. 25. Gov. Wil liam Sulzer, of New York, asserts he has no fear of the ultimate result of the impeachment proceedings which have been instituted against him. He exJ pressed this belie! in reply to a letter to Represenative Lafferty, of Oregon, who has made Mr. Sulzer's letter pub lic. Mr. Sulzer says none can conceive the obstacles which beset his path. He em phatically declares the charges against him are groundless, and says Charles F, Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, and his followers know there is no basis for the publicity campaign they are conducting against him, but are pur suing 'it with the knowledge that it may prove dinconcerning to him and worry Mrs. Sulzer. Speaking of Murphy, he said: "When the political boss found out he could not control me and make me a rubber stamp he did everything in his power to destroy me politically. When oss Murphy told me he would destroy me if I did not do his bidding I defied him to do his worst, and declared I would continue to do my best. No matter what becomes of me, the fight for good government will go on and ultimately triumph. With the aid of the decer." people of the State I shall go forward. I cannot do otherwise." "You have no conception of the ob stacles in my way," says the Governor's letter. "Neither have you any idea of t'-c difficulties that beset me. Often I am sick at heart, but then words of assur ance like yours come to hand and I take renewed hope and go forward with determination, come what may. "However, I have no fear of the ultimate result. The truth will prevail and right makes might. In the future as in the past," you and all my friends pan rely on me to do my- duty as I see the right and God gives me 'the light regardless of personal consequences. "The grafters are hounding me. Mr. Murphy and his hirelings are traducing me an 1 trying in every coi'.ceivable mannc to get mud to thrj.v at me However, J can assure you r' t there is little or nothing in the charge made against me. .;Ul oi tue st. i. ..iurphy and his agency put in the newspapers about me is baseless and pure tabri cation. They know this, and they know it will not in the last analysis hurt- me, but they know it disconcert me ; and worries .Mrs. Sulzer."

HOW THEY PASS THE TIME Play Checkers, Have Concerts Now Busy Planning Birthday Party For Chinamen. New York, Aug. 25. Within twenty feet of the death chair at Sing Sing prison eleven men awaiting their cail to pay the penalty for murder in the first degree have acclaimed 4prmer Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, con victed of murdering Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, as "captain of the death, house." Out of deference to William An thony Grace and "Happy Jack" Mul raney, who until their electrocution shared with Becker the popularity of the death house, the formality of se lecting a captain, who has the func tions of a judge, was deferred until after the "removal" of Grace last Monday. Until last Jan. 10 Lawrence Spohr, a former corporal of the United State 'Artillery at Fort Slocum, served several monthe as "captain." His removal to White Plains to await a second trial for the murder of his 'sweetheart, Rosie O'Toole, left the vacancy which Becker wasjjehosen to fill. Becker, the four gunmen, Francis W. Muehlfeld, who with his cousin, Will iam Longley, murdered Patrick Burns, a Bronx saloon lepenpr and Trwpnh I. r ' - r j- McKenna, the murderer of six-year-old Sigfed Eckstrom of the Bronx, consti tute the majority of the death house inmates. Muehlfeld is the veteran of the group and insisted on making the former lieutenant their commander. "Leave it to Charlie," Muehlfeld said when "Whitey Lewis" suggested that the death cell colony should have their hair closely cropped for the summer months. "Lefty Louis" Rosenberg and "Dago Frank" Cirofici were in favor of close shaves, but "Gyp the Blood" Horowit dissented. McKenna was also opposed to the ide". The former police lieu tenant took the matter under advise ment and then gave a decision against the suggestion made by "Whitey Lewis." The pompadour style of hair cut was then adopted by the gunmen. "That looks classy," remarked Mrs. "Lefty Louis" when she next visited the death house, and her husband bowed in the direction of the former lieutenant. "Now boys, cut out the idea of want ing to die game," Becker advised the members of the death house colony. "There is nothing in it. Believe in the future and read your Bible." That advice was followed by a de cision to hold services every evening. Every inmate, including Lee Dock, Eng Hing and Young Hing, Chatham Square gunmen, was detailed to serve one night each as leaders of the ser vices. They were each instructed to read a chapter from the Bible and then join in a short pravcr, which is followed by the singing of a hymn. "Now, when your time comes to go through that door you will feel much better," said Muehlfeld, who only a few weeks ago shouted goodbv to his cousin as he paid the penalty for which the two men were jointly convicted. Muehl field was a member of the Young Men's Christian Association, and for a time was an evangelist. Index To New Advertisements ' Burrus & Co. Mowers. New Bern Banking & Trust Co. Your pocket.
