ALL AT A STANDSTILL.
Multitude of Rumors ofDevelopmenta
This Week.
tilanbury News, Saturday.)
Today ends a week in the batting
ticup that has been filled with expec‘
taney and disappointment. and It finds
everything at as complete a standstill
as it was a week ago today, so far as
any official. or even ,well grounded In-
formation. can be obtained.
There was a multitude of rumors to
day, about developments that might be
erpected during the coming week and
the most of them concerned reports of
the opening of the factories on the
open shop plan. Some of the ‘storlcs
were told in much detail, and it was
generally rumored early this afternoon
that the Manufacturers' Association
was to issue a statement today an-
nouncing the intention to resume work
on Monday. Nearly everybody on the
streets was discussing these stories.
Inquiry of odlcers of the Manufactur-
ers' Association brought the reply that
no statement by that association would
be made today. and that it had not
been planned to open the shops on
Monday. The answar to a question as
to whether or not it was probable that
there would be developments along
that or any other line during the week
to come, was that there was nothing
to be said upon that point today.
There was nothing today to indicate
that a date had been set for the meet-
ing of the Danbury clergymen and the
executive board of the United Hatters.
which was to have. been held yester-
day and was postponed.
As to whether or not there was any-
thing further in view in relation to the
proposed plan of bringing about a lo-
cal ndjustment that has been the bar
sis of most of the discussion during the
present Week, the Rev. Father Ken-
nedy said that there was nothingthat
he could say today that would give
additional light upon the matter.
P. H. Connolley. secretary of the lo-
cal association of Hat Makers, who at-
tended tho meeting of the advisory
board of the United Hatters In New
York yesterday, said that no action of
public Interest was taken at the meet-
lng. Mr. Conuolley said that he had
no Information as to why the proposed
conference with the committee of cler-
gymen from Danbury did not take
place yesterday. He added that he did
not thing that either side had yet lost
sight, of the adjustment proposition
that had been under consideration dur-
ing the last few weeks.

clares. and he states that some of the
employers have asked their foreman
to keep an eye open for cases of finan-
cial stringency. and to quietly relieve
them at his expense. If found. The
article concludes with a resume of
the controversy as follows:
"In linnbury. not one returned then
or has since (referring To the incep-
tlon"of the trouble). Nor has there
been the slightest disorder; only a
prolonged. good-natured wait. a. stand-
off. and latterly some chafing at its
continuance. The manufacturers are
each under 825.000 bonds to abide by
the votes of the association, and can-
not withdraw until nfter 90 days’ no-
tice has elapsed. It is freely predicted
that other-wise the Danbury Assocla~
tion would have quit the national or-
ganization. There In good reason to
think so. and good reason to think
that the 90 days‘ notice will soon be.
given and some arrangement made to
Open as union shops without the use
of the label until the 90 days is up."

USE CRUDE OIL TO MAKE POWER.
E. E. Benham Hag Patented invention
That Promises Great Things.
A patent has just been issued to E.
B. Benham, of New London, for the
utilisation of crude oil in gasoline en~
glues, in place of gasoline. The Inven-
tion consists of a device attachable to
the exhaust of any gasoline engine and
by passing crudepotroleum oil through
it a complete gaslflcation of the oil
takes place. The gas Is conveyed to
the engine through a. carburetter.
More power at obtained from the gas,
and the consumption of crude oil is
about one-half pint per horse pOWer
per hour, while gasoline would be con-
sumed at the rate of one pint per
horse power per hour.
The‘ process part is the joint inven-
tion of Mr. Benham and Prof. William
T. Cutter, of East Lyme. formerly
state chemist or Connecticut. The pat-
ent and inventions are ass nod to the
Hydro-Carbon Co.. of 37 all street,
New York, Thomas Nevins, the well
known banker and broker. being the
financial head of the concern. The de-
vice is now being installed in Mr. Nev-
ins" two yachts, one a 75 horsepower
boat, the other a 115 horsepower. Mr.
Nevins will spent the summer at the
Pequot, where he has taken the Mason
cottage.
The works of the concern are locat~
ed at the foot of John street. Patents
have been applied for In all foreign
countries, and several have been is‘
sued. Theprocess is also applicable
to the production of Illuminating gas
from crude oil. " '
In the preliminary tests which have
been made during the past week, the
gas devoloped from the crude oil has
demonstrated the merits of the process
and the boats on which the appliance-
bas been titted show that the , gas
Is far ahead. of gasoline tor a motive
power. There is much less noise.
too, and no foul exhaust. With Mr.
Benham, Mr. Cutter has conducted on
periments on. this process quietly for
several months in New London, until
assured that they were Justified in
placing the whole thing before the
public. Upon the first applications
being made for patents on the pro;
cess. the government exports flatly re-
fused to consider the proposition. say.
in; that the thing was lmpoflbie.
