New Office Building Finished
and oouupied and a New
lleIseI (III) Engine Being In-
stalled‘mlitller Important
Changes ‘ ' .

Work is being rushed on the Installa-
tion of the new Deisei oil burning en-
Klne and electric generator at the
South Ndrwaik Municipal Power Plant,
the place where electricity Is sold to
small consumers as cheaply as that
'made from the power of Niagara Falls.

 

Thea place In the plant during the pro
‘cess of‘enlargment, which have made
greatly for Increased efficiency, and
convenience. In order to have room In
the building for the new engine It was
necessary to move something out.

Superintendent A. E. Winchester ae-
oordlngly moved the office out and a
neat new addition to the building was
constructed on the east side of the pre»
Sent plant, a story and a half brick
structure, eighteen by thirty feet, being
elected with slate roof and concrete
floors, to be used as the office and
stock room.

The office Is very‘neat and handily
arranged. It has but and cold water
and all the sanitary improvements. It
is scientifically ventilated, whereas
the old office was sometimes a verb
table oven having a temperature of 110
degrees of heat.

The new office, however is so ar-
ranged that there Is always a. breath
of fresh air to be had making work

there much more comfortable.
The office of the cashier and accoun~

ing, and Is enclosed in a wire screen.

The changes in the power plant are
important ones The amount of elec-
tricity which Is sent. out from there
has necessitated the abolishment of
some of the old insulated cables and
from the switchboard go out large bars
of copper which carry the current to
the distributing wires outside the
building.

A new cabinet has been con cted
for the housing of the perfected fire
alarm system with a’mastcr box for
ringing alarms. from the electric light
station, when such alarms are tele-
phoned there.
ranged that the. switchboard is acces-
sable from both sides. It is expected
that this will be completed In about
three weeks and in operation.

A special telephone booth will be ill-
stalled so that conversation may be.
carried on without the noise of machin-
ery interfering with conversation.

The testing room of the plant, where
the metres and lights are all tested
before being sent out, Is on the west
side of t he building. It. Is partitioned
In asbestos, and has slate tables and
concrete floors. It Is the only tel-II
room of its kind between New York
and Bridgeport and one of line most
complete u‘nd practical ill the country.
By means of this, all metros are lost
ed before being sent out and regulated
before Installation. At the office a
history of each meter is kept which
with the tests makQ the measuring of
the sale of all ctriclty practically sure

The new Dclucl engine In pluct llaIII
the same as tllc one installed ill 1906
with a few improvements. t Is a 229
brake horse powor, internal combus-
tion engine, operated by fuel oil, with
n Norwalk Iron Works air compressor,
with It Fort Wayne generator of direct
current 230 to 260 volts, 165 k. w. con
nected direct.

It. will greatly increase the cfllciency
of the plant: and relieve the burden
which the machinery has bOOIbCBI‘I'yh
lug. It is being Installed under the
direction of C. M. Stewart, one of the
most capable erecting enul ears of the
American Delscl Engine Cl pally. and
will probably be In operation by Octo-
ber 15.

The demands for electric power and
light, howuver, are becoming so great
that Superintendent Winchester rath-
er fears that even with his increased
equipment the load will again soon

overtake the plant, rendering another
addition to the equipment necessary.

iy—Many Witnesses Tesllly
In Manslaughter Base ,

The trial of Russell. Frost, Jr.,
charged with manslaughter as the re
sult of the automobile which he was

driving killing IIStreet Commissioner
Martin Kellogg, was resumed this
morning before Judge Edward M.
Lockwood, in the Norwalk police court.
' After the proceedings were gotten
under way. shortly before 10 o‘clock,
nearly an hour wastaken up in an
effort by Prosecuting Attorney Leo
Davis to have the notes of Miss Ruth
St. John, a stenoglapher who attended
the inquest for General Frost, pro-
duced.

Mr. Davis subpoenaed Miss St. John
as a witness, and It was blought out
that She turned the notes over to Gen-
eral Frost and consequently could not
produce them Plusecutlng Attorney
Davis then put General Frost on the
stand and he admitted that the notes
were In Ills possession. This brought
out a long argument between Mr. Da-
vis and Attorney Stiles Judson, of the
defense.

Judge Lockwood finally ruled that
he had no right to compel the defense
to produce private papers.

The othel stellographer at the In-
quest was Miss Florence Hamilton, of
Walsh and I-Iubbell's office. It was
claimed by the defense that Miss Ham-
ilton wasappointed official sienograph
er of the Inquest.

Attorney John J. Walsh cleared the
situation by explaining that after the
inquest he had cullversed with Mr.
Dutch and offered to‘send him a copy
.If his stcnographer‘s notes.

Miss Hamilton finally was placed on
the stand. and testified as to certain
paragraphs of the testimony of Russell
Flost, ..,lr from her memory, as she
said she had not transcribed a word
except so far as what appeared in her
notebook. Miss St. John was also
placed on the stand and testified as to
certain points in Master Frost’s state-
neat before the coroner. Neither could
lay that he testified that he blew his
\OI'll except in front of Judge H. w.
lregory's residence.

Reporter Edward S. Underhill was
liso placed on the stand and he simply
‘ecoilected that young Frost said hi
blew his horn In front of Judge Greg
ory‘s.

Iionry It. Minor. an engineer, who
had drawn a profile of the street. testis
lied as to various measurements from
where the supposed blood spot on the
road was with reference to the white
pole, corner, etc., And the length of
the trolley car. No. 180.

Conductor John Hannlgan was re
called and said the car was No. 190.
but that It was the some length as 180.
. Clothing Dealer G. Louis Price was
on the porch at his home, 47 West ave
one. nlld saw a commotion. lie ran
and got Ills hat and when he. returned
he saw the bodyof Mr. Kellogg. He
couldn’t swear whether the car had
been moved or the body. He first saw
the auto pass the home of Samuel
Lyues. when it was going, in his opin-
Iou. at twelve or fourteen miles all
hour.

Louis Iiurket, a passenger on the
front. seat of the trolley car, said that

lie trolley car was moved ahead a dis
tunes of about its length by the mo
.Ol'lllitll, upon orders from the routine
tor.

This closed the state‘s side of the
case. Attorney Judson moved to have
the testimony of Motorman Arthur
Lincoln. of the cur following. stricken
out. Mr. Judson said that Mr. Davis
had readily given promise that ho
would show the speed of the auto {real
the time mentioned by Lincoln to the
veue of the accident, but had failed
to do so. Lincoln testified that l'IOlii
passed him going at It rate of from
2n to 85 miles an hour. Mr. Davis re-
plied that Mr. Judson must have had
'coilou lII his cars all morning and re
called that Lincoln testified as to the
specd at Elm street, young Frost as
16 miles an hour at the corner of Arch
street. Mr. Price as from 12 to 14 miles
an hour In front of Mr. Lynes' home.
and Mrs. Wilcox. a passenger on the
trolley car from which Mr. Kellogg
blighted, all 20 miles an hour.

ion. ,

lMen Were Drawing Fluid from
a Tank In the Bronx and “3- I
log it to Sprinkle Morris Park
Race Track for an Automobile
Race

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.——-Twenty '
thousand gallons of crude of] stereo ‘,
In a tank In the borough of the Bronx' .
exploded with terrific force while three
men were drawing oil from It early to-
day, killing the men almost instantly.

The dead are:

James Cooper. of Unionporu

Richard Smith, of Van Nest.

James Reilly. of Westchester.

Cooper was employed by the officials
of the Morris Park Race Track to
sprinkle the track with oil in prepara—
tion for an automobile race. Reilly and
Smith Were his assistants. Mrly today
they went to the tank which belonged
to the Bronx Gas and Electric Com--
pany in Protectory avenue and began
to fill a sprinkling cart with the oil.
Reilly and Smith were sent to the top
of the tank while Cooper remained by
the wagon. It is supposed that a. ham .
teln carried by one of the men ignib
ed some loose oil under the tank. The
explosion which followed tore off the
top of the tank and sent it flying into
