Automatic Safety Gate
Invented by Local Man
John C. Eman, of this city, an em
ploye of the Twenty-Five Cent De
partment Store, is the inventor of an
automatic safety gate for railroad
grade crossings. The gate is operated
by trains approaching the crossing, a
gong located along the road sounding
a warning in advance of the operation
of the gate. Any desired lapse of
time between the operation of the
sate and the arrival of the train at
the crossing Is possible. Provision has
also been made in the construction of

hides which may be on the crossing j
when thi gate is lowered. This con- |
structlon, however, is such as to pre- I
vent the entrance of teams upon the
crossing. •
The inventor claims that the gate
overcomes all of the objections that
have been raised by railroad com
panies against automatic gates, and
the working model which he has in
stalled in the basement of the store
at which he is employed has already
been inspected by engineers of a num

inventor says are much interested in

PENNA STEEL TO BE

operations that there will not be much
advantage accruing to the present
"leading interests" in the trade.
Information was available in Cleve
land iron and steel circles to-day that
indicates that the new Schwab steel
combine is further advanced than was
supposed.
The companies named as definitely
lined up for the greatest industrial
merger since the United States Steel
Corporation was formed in April, 1901,
include the Bethlehem Steel Corpor
ation, of which Charles M. Schwab is
president and directing genius; the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
owned by the Rockefellers; the Jones
& Laughlin Steel Company, of Pitts
burgh, known as the greatest of all the
independents; the Crucible Steel Com
pany of America, once owned in Pitts
burgh, but whose control in the last
few months has drifted to Wall street:
the Lackawanna Steel Company, of
Buffalo, controlled by the Vanderbilts;
Horace E. Andrews and interests,
identified with Pickands. Mather &
Co.. of this city, the Pennsylvania and
Cambria Steel Companies, control of
which rests with the Pennsylvania
Railroad. w T hose holdings have been
optioned to William H. Donner, presi
dent of the company, and close per
sonal friend of Henry Clay Frick,
capitalist, banker, promoter, coke kin«
and nestor of the new Icea of a second
steel trust.
The last great obstacle to a merger
of independent steel companies was
j swept aside when the Federal court
in New Jersey a few weeks ago gave
, the steel trust absolution of the
I charge of combination In restraint of
I trade.
The great proposed merger will be
I directly competitive with the steel
i trust, because it will represent a capa
j city of close upon 10,090,000 tons of
: ordinary steel products as compared
with some 12,000,000 for the trust.

MAXIM OPPOSED TO
BUY-A-BELGIUM PLAN
[Continued from Ffrst Page.]
was never estimated at more than
$10,000,000,000 one-tenth of the price
Mr. Wanamaker would pay.
Mr. Maxim also calls attention to the
fact that the payment of so large an
amount to Germany, if Germany la the
country from which Belgium is to be
bought, would enable the Kaiser to
place every nation on the globe in the
position to whichthe now has reduced
King Albert's kingdom.
"Evidently Mr. Wanamaker has
been misquoted," said Mr. Maxim.
"Surely some one has added a cipher
to his figures.
"The estimated total wealth of Bel
gium at the outbreak of the present
war was about $9,000,000,000. Cer
tainly it could not have exceeded
$10,000,000,000. Even the total wealth
of the United States is estimated at
only $130,000,000,000. If we put it at
$150,000,000,000, Mr. Wanamaker pro
posed to pay for Belgium a price equal
to two-thirds of the total wealth of
this country.
"If the United State should borrow,
which it could not, $100,000,000,000,
and give that sum' for the benefit of
the Belgians, we Americans would by
that act so impoverish ourselves that
we should be poorer than are the
Belgians and In far greater need of
being ransomed than they are.
"Where In the world could we bor
row $100,000,000,000? The total wealth
of the nations now at war is only
about $300,000,000,000.
"Agaln.of whom should we buy Bel
gium? As Mr. Wanamaker suggests
giving Belgium back again to the Bel-

gians, he cannot mean that we should
by the country from the Belgians. It
would be far simpler directly to do
nate the Belgians the $100,000,000,-
000.
"If we are to understand that the
United States is to buy Belgium, I
think we could get it much cheaper
than $100,000,000,000.
"If $100,000,000,000 were to be paid
into the treasury of Germany, and the
total wealth of all the other countries
mortgaged to raise the money, the ob
ligation would render every other
country on this earth a vassal of Ger
many, and every inhabitant of every
other country on the planet would be
placed in a condition of serfdom un
der Germany. Surely Mr. Wanamaker
does not aim at this.
