Goulder, who had charge of the entire day's proceed- ings and was largely responsible for the number of ships that took part in it. The speakers included President Charles F. Thwing, of Western Reserve Uni- versity, Father O'Reilly, Rev. Frank W. Luce and Mayor Newton D. Baker. American Krupp-System Diesel Engine The American Krupp-System ' Diesel Engine Co. has been incorporated un- der the laws of the state of Delaware to manufacture and sell Krupp Diesel engines. John L. Bogert, Room 1619, 165 Broadway, New York, is the com- pany's engineer. It is understood that the company has secured the exclusive rights for the United States and its SUNDAY, SEPT. 14. THE NIAGARA IS DIMLY SEEN SEWAITER PARK ON THE DAY OF THE PERRY MEMORIAL CELEBRATION territorial possessions of all the in- ventions, patents, trade marks, designs and drawings of the Krupp firm in so far as they relate to oil engines, and especially te the Diesel type. It is understood to be the intention of the new company to build both stationary and marine engines. They will aid to replace the gasoline engine with the Krupp Diesel engine wherever it is practicable that the great saving in fuel cost inherent in such change may be realized.. A. fuel cost of Z cents per horsepower-hour with a gasoline engine using gasoline costing 16 cents per gallon would be cut to one-fifth of one cent per horsepower-hour with a Krupp-Diesel engine using fuel oil costing three cents per gallon. It was in 1893 that Dr. Rudolph Diesel sub- mitted his theory to the Krupps of how a more perfect heat motor than any yet produced could be designed. The first engine of the Diesel type was built in the Krupp plant and a great deal of money was spent by the Krupps in perfecting the type. No information is as yet obtainable as to where the American Krupp System Diesel Engine Co. intends to locate in the United States for the manu- facture of the engines. IN THE CENTER BACK GROUND New United Fruit Liner Aue United . Fruit. Co. wall have three of its latest steamers on the West Indian route during the coming winter, the Pastores, Tenadores and Calamares, the last named _ having been launched on the Clyde: The company intends to make quite a rare departure in its series of special 18-day cruises from New York to West In- dian ports in that it will abolish the table de hote system altogether and all meals will be served a la carte. The cost of this 18-day cruise will be reduced from $175 to $125 and with the im@troduction of the 4 la ¢arte system passengers will pay for what- ever meals they take. An exclusive a la. carte service is an entirely new departure in ocean travel and the in- novation will doubtless .be watched with great interest. These new steam- ers are designed especially for tropical cruising as all staterooms are outside. te The Union Iron Works, San Fran- cisco,. Cal., is building a _ gasoline- driven steel barge for the Standard - Oil Coe to be used in the harbor of San Diego. | oo i eG ee BE These Photos by Miller Studio, Cleveland.
