Alfred Hubbard Now Owns $5000
Racing Koadstcr and Talks of
Bujliij Railroad.
SEATTLE. July 29. (Special.)
Alfred M. Hubbard, Seattle boy in
ventor who has harnessed an un
known force, apparently drawn out
of the air, which he transmits to an
electric dynamo, thus produciug
power, has again got the savants of
the electrical world guessing. jje re
peated his demonstration with his
power generator in a small launch
before a larger crowd today. Yes
terday the trial was made for the sole
purpose of satisfying a local capital
ist that he had something worth in
vesting his money in.
Hubbard, since his return from
Washington, D. C, in January, when
ha patented his device, has put in all
of his time working on his coil, and
experimenting with it in connection
with X rays. He now claims he will
be able to develop something new in
this respect within a short time.
Today Hubbard made a. half dozen
trips about Portage bay and Lake
Union, carrying two to four passen
gers in the boat beside himself and
a mechanic. He was besieged this
morning by dozens of persons desir
ous of seeing his Invention In opera
tion. Many of these he refused to
talk to, others he told of his pro
posed trials today. He offered no
explanation other than "he didn't
want to," for not allowing all to see
his invention: There were nearly 100
persons today at the Seattle Tacht
club piers when the trials started.
The getaway was accomplished with
out a hitch. With the application of
the wires from Hubbard's coil the
motor hummed into action. Such
speed was gained with the motor
idling that it spun for more than two
minutes after the wires were discon
nected. t
Hubbard Conceals Backing;.
Hubbard Is silent as to what back
ing he has received in work of de
veloping the coil. Last January,
when he first made known that he
had invented the coil. Hubbard had
little or no money. He now owns a
racing roadster which cost $5000
f. o. b. Seattle: has purchased for his
father an equally fine car, replenished
his wardrobe, taken on weight and
talks seriously of buying and operat
ing a railroad when he realizes on
his patent.
Several experts were among those
who witnessed the operation of the
Hubbard coil today. None is willing
to be quoted, and none is emphatic
in expressing belief or disbelief in
the coll. Hubbard invited them
aboard. They picked up the coil,
turned it over, satisfied themselves
that it was not attached to a storage
battery, and then they examined the
motor. The examination in each
case was satisfactory. The experts
said frankly that Hubbard had evi
dently discovered a new principle,
hut The experts don't know
what. They admit that, even if his
coil 18 a storage battery, which Hub
bard positively claims It is not, oe
cause it Is not charged, and does not
have to be. he has made an impor
tant hattterv. They knew of no stor
age battery contained in the space of
the Hubbard coil that would give the
nnwpr it does.
The capitalist who was shown the
new coil and what it can ao win
have an expert of his own examine
the coil before the end of the week.
In the meantime young Hubbard is
dividing hl3 time between his boat
and burning up the roads between
Seattle and Everett, where his labora
tory is now located. Twice this week
he has been arrested for speeding.
The coil used was built especially
fur the demonstration and is nearly
twice the size of the coil used in his
demonstrations last winter.
' Device la Patented.
The large coil cost approximately
$90 to construct. The inventor says
that, so far as he has been able to
lmm. its life as a power unit is In
definite. He declared that a coil
large enough to drive an airplane
would be no more than three times
the size of the coil used Wednesday,
and that aA machine thus equippea
could flv around the world without
stopping, so far as power supply is
concerned.
While the device has been patented.
the claims for it are so broad that
Hubbard says he does not leel safe
in making public its secret. In gen
eral, he says, it is made up of a
group of eight electro-magnets, each
with primary and secondary winding
of copper wire, which are arranged
around a large steel core. The core
likewise, has a single winding. About
the entire group of coils is a sec
ondary winding.
A coil thus constructed, he says, is
lifeless until given an initial impulse
This is done by connecting the ends
of its windings for a fraction of a
second to an ordinary house-lighting
circuit, he says.
The manner of this momentary
charging, however, constitutes the
principal secret of the device, accord
ing to the inventor, who says that,
-while machinists have buflt a num
ber of colls for him under hjis direc
tion, they have been unable to "start"
them.
In the event the power of the coil
should diminish, it can be rejuvenat
ed in less than a second, Hubbard
avers.

NEW YORK. July 29. Dudley Field
Malone. former collector of the port
of New York, today was selected as
the third or farmer-labor party candi
date for the governorship of New
York.
In a formal statement of acceptance
Mr. Malone declared a militant third
party is here to stay and that its
platform will "smash down the high
cost of llvinar not only by putting
profiteers in jail but by taking from
our exploiters the resources through
which the people are robbed."
"With a democratic president and a
republican congress," said Mr. Malone.
"the high cost of living all unchecked
has become a curse in every American
home. Out of war profits there are
three new millionaires for very
doughboy who lies dead in France."
Mr. Malone declared the meat in
dustry, the coal mines, the railways
and ail public utilities must be taken
"out of the control of private capital
ists." "The farmer-labor party, like the
British labor party," he continued, "is
a class party only in the respect that
it calls to its comradeship industrial
workers, clerical workers, farmers, j
fessional groups and indeed every
man who earns his own living and
gives useful service by the skill of
his hands or the creative genius of
his brain."

Reservations' Favored.
DAYTON, O., July 29. To Governor
Cox. democratic presidential candi
date, today "was pledged the. vigorous
and unqualified support of Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, leader among
senate democrats who differed widely
from the administration on the league
of nations and who lought for reser
vations. Senator Walsh arrived unexpected
ly today and was Governor Cox's
guest at dinner before leaving lor the
east.
"I shall aid in every possible way
to secure Governor Cox's election,"
Mr. Walsh said. "I voted for him from
the first at Sari Francisco and shall
continue my vigorous aid."
Support. Declared KnthuHlamtir.
Senator Walsh said he had not
learned Governor Cox's attitude to
ward the league controversy. He
called to talk over campaign affairs,
he .said, with D. J. Mahoney Governor
Cox's son-in-law, and the governor
had insisted upon tonight's visit to
Trail's End. Even should he and the
governor differ on the league. Senator
Walsh said he still would support the
governor enthusiastically.
He was the only visitor at Trail's
End today. Governor ,Cox finished
the rough draft of his acceptance ad
dress and prepared to be the guc.?t
of. honor tomorrow 'at the "hoife
coming" and non-political celebration
planned by the governor's friends.
Hope that the league would not be
the campaign's paramount issue was
expressed by Senator Walsh, who led
the successful efforts in the platform
committee at San Francisco for the
words in the league plank stating
that the party does not oppose reser
vations making America's obligation
clearer and more specific.
Profiteering Streaa Hoped.
"I hope we can- devote more atten
tion to American questions." he said,
asserting that opposition to profiteer
ing should be stressed.
To a query as to whetre he ap
proved the statements of President
Wilson and Governor Cox after their
White- House conference. Senator
Walsh declined to answer. The nen
ator declared that he still favored
league covenant reservations and
would never vote for the league with
out reservation to article 10. The re
publicans, he predicted, would 6eek
to make reservations to article 10
their princlpad fight, and he said
Governor Cox should be "very care
ful" what position he took.
That Irish questions would not be
campaign issues also was predicted
by Mr. Walsh.
"I don't think they will figure at
all," he said.
Governor Cox today directed that
invitations be sent to all candidates
at San Francisco for the ceremonies
August 7.
Neither the league nor any other
subjects covered In Governor Cox'
speech. Senator Walsh said, was dis
cussed with the candidate.
"I had a very pleasant visit," said
Mr. Walsh, "and was impressed with
his .intention to draw the line de
cisively between the progressive and
reactionary thought and elements of
the country."

for their example of representative
government.
Another caller was Leslie M. Shaw
of Iowa, former secretary of the
treasury, who'is understood to have
reported on conditions in the west
and also to have talked over fiscal
policies with Senator Harding.
"I was greatly pleased," said Mr.
Shaw, "to find Senator Harding
thinking, not so much of how he can
get the office to which he aspires as
of what he can do with it when he
gets it. The man who has vision in
private affairs is sometimes called a
financier. The man who has clear
vision in public affairs is entitled
to be called a statesman. Senator
Harding has vision in public affairs
and clearly sees far beyond election
day."

Invalid, Alone, Believed tp Have

Which Exploded.
ALBANY. Or., July 29. (Special.)
Mrs. J. G. Dennis, aged about 45, wife
of a merchant at Crawfordsville, lost
her life today In a fire which de
stroyed her home in that town. The
fire also burned the building in which
the Crawfordsville postoffice was sit
uated. The body of Mrs. Dennis was found
in front of the cookstove in the kitch
en. An explosion was heard, so it is
supposed that she was trying to start
a fire with kerosene.
There is no fire-fighting apparatus
in Crawfordsville, which -is a village
on the Calapoola river, about seven
miles above Brownsville. Some mall
was lost.
Mrs. Dennis, an invalid, was alone
at the time. Her husband was absent
on business and a young woman who
was staying with her had gone out of
the house temporarily. She had no
children. The volunteer fire fight
ers had a hard time confining the
fire to the two buildings destroyed.
The Crawfordsville school had a nar
row escape from destruction.
