THE FIGIIT FOR Tilt: FARMERS' SUN After a bitter five -and -a -half-hour debate, which on more than one occasion showed sign; of degenerat- ing from a wordy free-for-all to a veritable pitched battle, the Morri- son wing of the 1', I O. on Tuesday afternoon gained a tIncisive victory over the pro -Drury forces in the fight for control of the Farmers' Sun, the official organ of the Farm- ers' Party in Ontario When the smoke of one of the me -t fiery verbal battles ever staged within the none too peaceful walls of the Labor Temple had cleared sway, two hun- dred and fifty shar,hedders of the Farmers' Sun Pubti<hing Company discovered that the pr -Storrison anti - broadening out direrterate had been re-elected en bloc by n majority of over seven to one, that the single Cabinet Minister nominated for office had gone down to defeat by a similar margin and that all attacks on the policy of isolation fel' the U. F. 0., as supported by the resent manage- ment of the Sun, had been literally choked into silence. Such was the rimer displayed by both parties to the controversy that the members of a little group of would-be peace -makers who kept their heads were fersed to declare that the U.F.O., as 0 political force in Ontario, was heading straight for ruin. This little group might have saved its eloquence for a more auspicious occasion. Ger their efforts to inject a spirit. of caution into a welter of sensational charges and counter -charges were ignored. As a result the Morrison supporters left the meeting in n spirit of belligerent jubilation at having retained the dictatorship of the 1'. F. 0. sheet. Their opponents left the field in om- inous silence, predicting dire calam- ity for the whole Farmers' movement in Ontario, and promising that a day of reckoning would not be long de- layed. Many Bitter Wrangles. Following a preliminary skirmish over the question ,f voting by proxy, won by the Morrisonites in handy fashion by four to one, the meeting resolved itself into a suc- cession of bitter wrangles. With a vote by proxy sustained, and know- ing that the Morrison group had in their possession 560 proxies to their opponents' 80, the "broadening out" supporters doggedly persevered in their attempts to snatch victory from defeat. A coterie of strong minded men, by means of interlocking director- ates, is ruling with the high hand of despotism the whole U. F. 0. move- r. went, said the Druryites. The men-, ager • whom we "fired," and whom you are attempting to reinstate, jug- 'glad with us retorted their opponents.. Morrlaon is responsible for the trou- ble by his refusal to meet the Premier and thresh our differences out to a Settlement from the other side.. You started the trouble by commencing an intrigue -to secure control of the Sun, came the answer from the Morrison - Res: Finally, after four pairs of opponents had exchanged the lie di- rect; J. C. Ross, former editor of the Sun, against whom many of the charges were made, started the pot boiling again by declaring that the directorate had gone over his head to appoint a Legislature reporter antag- onistic to the Government and had given instructions that the reports of the proceedings of the House were to be printed without editing. The meeting ended with J. J. Morrison and J. G. Whitmore, of Uxbridge, one of the three directors of the U. F. 0., syho lead the Druryites, shouting at each other at the tops of their voices. The address of the President, Col. Fraser was so bitter in its attack on the policy advocated by Premier Drury, that cooler heads among the gathering warned against its adop- tion. A resolution to adopt the address moved by R. J. McMillan precipitat- ed another long row which ended as its predecessors—in words. Finally J. G. Whitmore, one of the trio of anti -Morrison, U.F.O. directors, threw discretion to the winds, jumped to the platform and launched out into a bitter attack on the U. F. 0. Secre- tary. So intense was the excitement that characterized the meeting that shareholders forgot that they had not voted themselves the usual divi- dend until after they had spent live hours in argument. This oversight was speedily remedied by the one unanimous vote of the proceedings. The officers elected on the first bal- lot were as follows: W. A. Amos, 601; .1, J. Morrison, 399; W. C. Good, M.P.P., 591; Col. J. 7,. Fraser, 574, and W. L. Smith, 335; Hon. Manning Doherty, 84; M. A. Campbell, 98; F. G. Sandy, M.P.P., 38, and R. J. Mc- Millan, 41. The first five elected constituted the hoard of directors as it stood during 1921-22. On Tuesday night the re-elected board of directors met and elected officers as follows: President, Col, .1. Z. Fraser; Vice -President, W. A. Amos; and Secretary -Treasurer, 11. E. Walters. NEW FUEL DISCOVERED A new fuel, "water gas," produced by fusing disintegrated water and crude oil in a temperature of 9011 de- grees fahrenheit, has been produced in the cellar of a West Sixty-fifth Street garage, and according to the inventor and his financial backers, it will do the work of coal at one-third the cost. The Interhorough Rapid Transit subway system could be equipped to operate on nil and water in ten days. Apartment house furnaces can be equipped with the water gas maker and the house heated, and locomotives, steamships, automobiles, fire engines and airplanes can he run, according to the inventor. At the same time, the invention of a new type of steam propelled c n gine, designed to burn "water gas" was disclosed. The model -dm ad' constructed has only twenty-six op- erating parts, and was designed to operate a motor delivery truck. The average automobile truck motor has 375 parts. A steam airplane engine, consisting of only eleven parts, as against 2,800 in the Liberty motor. is heing constructed. The fuel and the engine were de, signed and assembled by Joseph Watrous Presser, born 57 years ago in Carolina, R. I. Prosser is a form- er Rhode Island school teacher, who turned automotive engineer. Prosser is emphatically confident of the possibilities of his inventions. Equally confident was Eihridge Geri•y Snow, president of the Home Insur- ance Company, who said that he and a number of unnamed business and banking associates were hacking Mr. Prosser. "I consider," he said, "that we have one of the greatest. inventions of modern times, with revolutionary Consequences in power, heating and lighting." Mr. Snow said that options had been taken on several plants, one near Newark, N. J.for the purpose of turning out the 'automatic siphon fuel burner," as the oil -water fuel maker is called, and the "duplex steam motor engine," in large quan- tities. He added that engineers and officials of sevesl l nig corporations had witnessed tests of the fuel and engine, but that offers to purchase the rights to the inventions were not being considered. "I desire to add," said Mr, Snow, "that the end of the use of coal may he regarded as in sight, and the pub- lic need not worry over the fuel con- ditions, as cheap fuel made of oil and water for all purposes is in sight." What interested Mr. Snow most was that if the inventions were per- fected, fire losses to insurance com- panies would be vastly reduced and cheaper insurance to the public would result. The inventor also assured him that when fire engines were equipped with the engine and burner they would have power always ready with little fuel to carry, and would have their utility doubled. The inventions are now perfected and have been passed upon by a num- i. Now ShOwl The Big Paramount S e urnoresqi Featuring "Alma Rubens" and all -Star -Cast.

The burner is a simple coil of pipe about three-quarters of an inch in diameter, with a nozzle faucet at the outer en. The coil is set in a pan in the big furnace which heats the garage, and under it is a pilot light, lighted with oil, used only to get the flame started, when it is then turned off. The furnace used is, of course, merely to demonstrate how the in- vention operates. mpn the right side is a container of crude oil, and on the left a container of water. The water is first turned on through the coil. In passing through over the pilot light it attains 900 degrees of heat fahrenheit, so that its ele- ments disintegrate. At the nozzle faucet, these elements mix with a current of oil turned on after the water is heated. When the faucet is opened the oil atomizes and the mix- ture vaporizes, blowing out through the nozzle as vapor or permanent water gas. As the vapor strikes the heated coil, combustion takes place, and a furious flame springs up, at first yellow, then blue, and finally vnilet colored, the coil turning to red, then to white heat. The pilot light is shut off and the operation there- after is continuous as long as the fuel is turned on. The whole operation requires less than two minutes. There are 812 volumes of water gas gen- erated to one of water and oil. The new type of engine, to which the burner is attached, is seen on an auto truck test car in thesbasement. It shows little apparatus in use. tak- ing up but small space. There are only twenty-six operating parts. as against 2,800 in the Liberty motor used in the world war, and 375 oper- ating parts used in the average auto- mobile engine. There is nothing for a driver to get under and tinker with, there are no gears, no electrical ap-; paratus, no clutches and no universal joints, there are no replacements of parts to make. The weight is less by 1,000 pounds than ofother engines, thus making for larger freight ca- pacity in the truck. The airplane type of engine will have only eleven parts. STA FFA Notes.—Rev. E.
