FOUR CHILDREN
LOSE LIVES IN
HOSPITAL FIRE
United States r..arshal Flynn, Chief Eberstein of the fed
eral bureau of investigation and 10 deputies swooped down
upon two of the worst "dope" dives ever unearthed in Omaha.
The raid was made Wednesday night ' - ,.
ELABORATE OUTFITS FOUND.O
Harry Rudolph, 1313 Capitol ave
nue, was the first alleged "dope" agent
bagged. Several bottles of morphine
and cocaine, a large number of "pill
boxes' used in selling the tablets, and
an opium pipe and a number ot mor
phine needles were seized.
Business is Flourishing.
A large pasteboard box, half full
of silver money, which totaled $89.
and $11 in one-dollar ... bills, were
found. , Several of the bills were
marked, having been used by govern
ment agents who went there and
bought morphine. Rudolph also had
10 bills of $5 denomination, and in a
coa hanging on the wall was $7 in
silver quarters.
. , - Used Marked Bills.
At the place of J. Cummings, 419
'North Thirteenth street, "dope" was
captured, together with $28 in paper
money and $28.45 in silver. Some of
the paper money '.vas marked, having
beei. used tiy government - agents.
Evidence for conviction in both cases
is conclusive, accordim: to federal
authorities. ' ; X
Soldier Among Callers.
While the .officers were searching
the Qimmings place. 13 people
"called." They were ushered in, one
by one, by Deputy Marshal Yates. A
soldiet was among the callers. The
others were men and women, white
and black. All were lined up until
the raid was' over. Then they were
allowed to go.' Barney Kimmerling,
police court celebrity, was among the
"callers." '- .
Rudolph and Cummings are , m
county jail awaiting arraignment.
Both are negroes.
Ottawa, Ont., Jan.' 10. Four -children
lost their lives in a. fire which
today destroyed the east wing of
the Catholic 'general hospital An
Water street with a property damage
amounting to $100,000. The victims,
the oldest of . whom was 4 years of
age, were patients in the institution.

Government Agents Break, Up
"Scheme to Reorganize 6er
: man Spy System in This
Country.
Washington, Jan. 10. Through in
tercepted communications and evi
dence found on a score of .more of art
rested -aliens, government agents have
discovered a concerted movement to
reorganize German sabotage and anti
war propaganda in' this country.
-The movement was broken up and
energy activities now are believed to
be confined to sporadic cases carried
on largely by pro-German sympathiz
ers without guidance , from a central
headquarters,
Unified System.
This was disclosed today by govern
ment officials, who declined, however,
to give all the details surrounding a
series of measures Tecently taken to
prevent x the rebuilding of a unified
enemy spy system.
It,w kn&wn that about 0 Germans
and a few Scandinavians have been
arrested on suspicion of complicity in
the new plot. The Germans have been
interned and the Scandinavians t sent
out of the country. Some Americans
are tinder suspicion and are being
closely watched. ' . ,
The evidence gathered in the round:
up-indicated that a few leaders whose
identity has not been disclosed, but
who are believed to be neutral sub
jects, tried to continue with a number
of agitators located mainly in eastern
seaports, in industrial centers and in
the extreme west, to develop co-operation
among thelp.
Sabotage was to be conducted sys
tematically and propaganda for peace
or dissemination of pessimistic war re
ports was to be stimulated under di
rection -of a recognized head. There
were indications also that the head-

Electrolene is a mineral oil refined from crude oil, kerosene, gasoline, distillate' and the refuse of mineral oil,
live a viwAoAne A t an Adail klf WnltAf TftllMBArt f . -
Electrolene ia a clear liquid, free from solid matter, having a uniform vaporization and carbunzation, burn
ing without smoke. Electrolene, a form of gasoline, having been broken, down into atoms,, releasing the solid matter
known as carbon, is a new substance to the .scientific world. ... L ... . . 1
In the practical tests made in the use of Electrolene, it is found to ignite more readily than (gasoline, and has a
much greater efficiency, . .' , V , 1 ,. i '
Electrolene Is made primarily as a fuel for gas engines and automobiles. We do not claim greater efficiency
by making a fuel oil from nothing, but when mineral oil is broken down into the state of atoms, releasing the parti
cles of fiolid matter, the il gets a much better mixture of air in carburizatum, and combustion is perfect on explosion.
i This is a very simple discovery but very important to commerce. These, no doubt, will be disputes as to the
authenticity of the claim of this discovery, but the fact has been so. full demonstrated that disputes are out of the
question.
small experimental
Tft tltet Afirftt Tifll-t A tils 4 A D I 1 017 : rfftifei .Tnnnann. the discoverer of Electrolene. made a sr
chemical machine for refining mineral oil The machine was built in a shop at Lincoln, we Draska, was instauea, ana
many persons saw it in practical operation. . ':. . '.J .. l " v j
The inventor would take any grade of kerosene, gasoline, or distillate, run the oil through the machine, and
'S the oil, going in clear, came out the color of lamp black. When the product was allowed to stand for a few hours the
black substance settled, leaving a clear liquid. ,. , . V. , . , O " .
x On making a practical test with this product, it was discovered, that it would burn much longer than gasoline
and with much less danger. A sample of the black powder may be seen at the office of Sturges A Sturges, 330
Bee Building, Omaha, Nebraska. This powder is so extremely fine that kerosene wiQ not percolate paper coated with
it. A great variation of colors can, be given to this powder for the arts. , , . m '. , ' . ,
Never before. has such a substance been extracted from mineral oil. t consists of the finely divided particles
of carbon taken from the oil molecules. That is to say, that the molecules re broken into an atomic statehd the
'- " small particles are chemically released and separated from the liquid. v, , t . V, ' , ..
; i All mineral oils contain quite a large per cent of water held in suspension by attraction. When the oil passes
through the process the attraction for water is increased, the water separated into its primary elements oxygen and'
hydrogen gases and the carbon released. When the oil vapor passes bycondensation to the liquid state, a new
chemical combination is formed, composed principally of liquid hydro-carbon, oxygen and hydrogen gases. A new
chemical affinity is set up. Peculiar as it 'may seem, superheated steam may be admitted to the machine in operation,
and the water content may bo increased, making the Electrolene more volatile and dry. ' : . x .
. It is a scientific fact, which can be proved by demonstration, that water cannot be broken into oxygen and
hydrogen below a temperature of 4000 or 4500 deg. Fahr. We break the water at a temperature underOOO deg Fahr.
The attraction of mineral oil for water is such, that when the oil holds water, and is subjected to electricity at
a temperature of 1000 to 2000 deg. Fahr., this attraction is increased to such an extent that the elements of the
. water are separated at a comparatively low temperatire. . ' , ' ,
Electrolene contains no free water, as the water is decomposed into its elements of oxygen and hydrogen, and
i a new chemical action is set up in the process. When the liquid oil releases carbon it takes up oxygen and hydrogen.,
Undertake to cleanse Electrolene with chemically pure sulphuric acid and there will be no affinity between them. ;
They do not mix. The products from this process are new to science. ' ' ,. : ..?- ? , "
In the year 1917 a second experimental machine was made, with the result that the Electrolene came from the
machine as clear as distilled water. This Electrolene was used in an atlto motor to find what the practical result would ,
be. Smoke was eliminated The combustion was practically perfect The engine started with much less f fort. than :,
on gasoline. The gas lever was closed down much closer than.on gasoline, A-standard machine iso completed for
'? further tests. ' ' v- . tV v--.-r- .- . ' s; u. y'-s," .
FlprtrnVnn (a mnrlo Viva nmKinotinn n lioof onA olactricitv. While exnerimentjt m he continued. Indefinitely-
and other new discoveries made about the process, one fact, the production of a better oil than', gasoline, has been"

Jrefirte four gallons perl hour, and the current used was three kilowatt hours. Electricity may be bought from any
large plant for one cent per kilowatt hour. So under operating conditions the cost would be less than one cent per
gallon. . Considering'that the machine was small and, therefore, radiation greater than in' a large machine, proportion-'
ately, the cost of refining in amounts of 50,000 gallons daily would be less than one-half cent per gallon. y
But another element. . Crude oil' is more than hlf low grade oils, not available for auto motor use. The larger,
part of these low grade oils are now beirrg used as a substitute for coal in furnaces and various other ways. The Elec
trolene process will raise the low grade oils to prices prohibitive for furnace, boiler and locomotive use, and such pro
hibitive prices will placehe product in the automobile trade. This should hold the price of gasoline down, and at the '.
same time make the; automobile manufacturing more certain. High priced gasoline will drive many autos out of use.
Many have been made to believe that some form of carbureter" for low grade oils could be invented to burn
kerosene and distillate, but the manufacturers of - gas engines and tractors now say that the carbureter for low
grade oils is not a success. Walter Johnson, the engineer, found by many experiments why low grade oils will not
carburize. . y , , !-- . ' ,
' I In the experiments, with one of the small machines jn making Electrolene, the fact was developed that on re-.
ducing the kerosene' to' a temperature f about 1200 deg. Fahr., -about five-sixths of the keroseae would decompose,
but the one-sixth was similar to lubricating oil, but too thin for that purpose. That part of the kerosene would stand
at a temperature of 1200 deg. Fahr., with but slight evaporation. The water was completely eliminated and passed
off into the five-sixths. To reduce the remainder required 4i rise in temperature with an addition of superheated steam.
To carburize that by-product would be impossible, although much of it vaporizes at alow temperature; the
residue runs into the crankease, and through the exhaust, washing out the cylinder lubrication and causing a deteri
pration in the wearing parts 6f the machine. - ' ' . .' , .
' Gasoline and all low; grade oils have a molecule composition Vhich are much larger than the atom in Electrolene..
, The molecules of kerosene,' if seen in a magnified state, would appear much like cobblestones of many sizes. When
the -air . is attracted to these molecules and enters the stage of combustion, the molecule will burn until the air is con
sumed and then, cease to burn and is discharged into the exhaust. (
';. - Electrolene is composed of) atoms of uniform size. Carburization is made perfect because of this. When the
air passes through the carbureter, picks up the vapor of Electrolene, the atoms are so email that the air is attracted
iru such proportion and .with such uniformity that combustion is complete. With the solid matter eliminated in Elec
trolene the explosion is perfect The use of Electrolene means much longer life for the auto and gas engine, because
there can be no dripping of by-products into crank case, no deposit of carbon, and hence no mis-firing of cylinders.
The official test on one of the Aujfcman-Taylor Traetors gave a tractive effort 6f, 47.14 hoee power on the
draw-bar, using gasoline. The same tractor equipped with kerosene carbureter developed 37.88 horse power on the
draw-bar. This test waa made by the best engineers to be found, and the authenticity of the test cannot sbe contro
verted. It was official, with many other makes of tractors. The efficiency of the machine on kerosene was re
duced ,24.45 per cent almost ten on forty-seven horse power. NThe Aultman-Taylor engine is one of the best of
American makes. From the fact that Electrolene may be extracted from the low grade oils at an expense so low, the
oil industry has never before possessed a refining process, with such possibilities for legitimate profits.

Gentlemen bout two years ago a friend toll me of a process for making gasoline
in which he and his associates were interested in Denver. At various times thereafter be
informed me of progress of the experiments and finally advised me the process Aeemed to
be a failure because no metal had been found that would withstand necessax pressure.
Early m April. 1917, I met Mr. Walter Johnson in Lincoln, Nebraska, who stated to
me that he had a procesa for snaking gasoline. I was skeptical and told him of the ex
perience of- my friend. He then asked me to see an experimental machine he had'just com
ttructed for the purpose of demonstrating hia idea. I examined this machine and found
the oil waa treated electrically and that no pressure, whatever was used in th's process.
.. ' ' Later, in August, 1917, I examined a perfected machine constructed by Mr. Johnson
and capable of producing four or five galloiis of electrolene per hour. This machine seemed
to work perfectly and in my opinion proved all of Mr. Johnson'a claims.
