I ' (Hearst News bf Longest Leaeaa Wire.)
.Nsw York, Fob. I. When after 41
! hour steady work. Thomas A. Edison
smarted from hi laboratory in Weat
Grants at l:0 o'clock this evening to
to to supper. In his nearby : villa, he
said to a reporter: 1
"At last I have solved a problem.
X 'can hold out a a lad message. ' The
dangerless automobile, going 100 mile
without recharge as SO miles per hour,
If you like. Is an accomplished fact
"As the boy may have told yeu," he
added, "they are always afraid I over
work myself. I kept at this sines Wed
nesday morning at s o'clock working
until 1:10 Thursday evening and re
turning an hour later to oontlnue un
til t o'clock this morning. Then I
slspt an hour, had breakfast, and set
to work again until dinner time. Dut
what matters lit The problems that
confronted me for the last two years or
longer are no longer problems.
"A strange coincidence. Even as I
aohleve the highest ambition of mr life,
that to help the downtrodden, brother, I
tread with heavy step on the corns of
the richest man In the world. ..
Before I leave for the south with my
family In a few weeks my new electric
storage battery, which I rounded up
this afternoon will be ready for trial,
and there la no doubt that it will be
a complete success. .
"By the tims I corns back, ths fac
tories will have turned out 100 of them,
suitable for racing, ordinary carriage
use and trucking. . Then good-bye ben
sins good-by Jo high-priced chauff
eurs. "But ths proudest moment of my life
ocourred a few hours ago, when I put
the finishing touches to ths Iron cast
that makes ths cement house so much
talked about, in reality the poor man's
palace. The Iron mold, now an accom
plished fact, enables me to build a lt
room, two-family house as fireproof
as any bank vault at the rate of 1100
a room, including foundation, roof,
electrlo wiring, bath tuba and everything
else.
"As to the new electric storage bat
tery, Just completed, it will supply the
largest touring car with power for a
100-mile trip on a single charge. If
the proprietor desires be can make 20
miles per hour. Any power house in
the world can recharge my batteries.
My new battery will revolutionise the
auto business and retire gasoline as a
motive power.

New York. Feb. I. Ths--world this
morning prints an interview with J. P.
Morgan, which was given yesterday by
the banker to Alexander Ular, editor
of the Petit Journal of Paris. , Mr,
Morgan lays down ths proposition that
ths time has corns when the great battle
between capital and labor must be
fought out Us tells the French news
paperman that the worklngman has got
to learn that hs cannot control Industry,
but must accept wages that will make
honest and profitable business possible.
He adds that as thousands of men are
now out of work, it Is better to keep
them in that condition until they realise
that they are powerless to prevent wage
reductions. He is or tne opinion inai
the nresent depression is extremely use
ful, and as a capitalist he does not care
to see it relieved at present.
After osyina a hiah tributs to Mr.
Morgan's dominating personality, M.
Ular aays:
"When we talked together about ths
Immediate causes of ths recent panic,
I had the strong impression that he
thought the main cause waa that some
body wanted a little lesson.
"The Immediate cause." he said, "be
sides certain economic conditions, there
were certain attempts at legislation.
"It was sufficiently clear, of course.
but It would have been ridiculous to
ask Mr. Morgan if he made the panlo
himself. He spitefully used the word
'Washington,' closing his mouth with
vigor, like a tiger who is Just breakln
the spine of a sheen, and then smile'
as If satisfied with the result Mr.
Morgan has the most expresslvs face
I have ever aeen.
"He Is almost ss angry against the
Finea government as against Wash
ington. . He does not understand why
during the psmc tne Bank or France
refused to lend him some gold in order
to mend the stringency of payment

"They did what they refused to me
a week later for the Bank of England,
so- that ths statua of the bank did not
restrain them at all," he said.
