BUDAPES1

rrfm r!:K authority, it was learn;! t!y that Mr. Mathtas Revcpi. wife of th "loan kins" and builder, wli.i operated in Gary about four months aro. has received a letter from her brother, a wealthy business man of Budapest. Austria Hungary, that Revesz was seen in that clt- a few weeks ayo. Mrs Revesz's brother advises her to come ther immediately and take some action arainst her husband on the grounds ef wife desertion Friends of Mrs. Revesz stated today that there was absolutely no secrecy in the whereabouts of Mrs. Revesz. and when she left Gary, she left her address hore with several pcp'"- ar'l two children are now located at 1357 North Dearborn street. Chicago Revesj. when in Gary, operated the Revei Home Building: company and erected many flat buildings and houses in this tit. He tso cleverly manipulated his affair In genaral that loans of thousands of dollars were given him; he ODtained mortgages on his buildings, and his honesty was nevr questioned. About four months ago, he disappeared leaving behind him a tangled state of affair that even to date has not been straightened out. A receiver has been appointed and the services of a lawyer obtained. Revesz 'borrowed"' money from foreigners, and in return he would give them a receipt. Many houses and fiat buildings, which were built by Reesi and almost all paid for by the purchasers are heavily mortgaged and mechanic's liens cover most of the buildings. An international search was started for Revesz. but he eluded his searchers, and the latest news concerning his whereabouts comes from his wife's brother. His financial affairs are in such shape that it has been impossible for the receiver and attorney to give out any definite information concerning the matter. The case has been filed in the Lake Superior court, and it will probably come up for trial in the September term pf court.

COAL ECONOMY

NEW TORK. July 26 The part played by an East Chicago firm in helping electric light and power producers to get the most from scarce and expensive coal is told in the Green Enjrineering Company's statement in the 1920 report of the National Electric Light Association's Trime Movers com mittee . This committee Includes some of the leading electric power plant engineerinff men in the country. They are engaged in exhaustive research into lm proved methods and equipment for get ting the most from coal, oil, and other fuels. Their aim is to show the electrical industry how it may best combat rising cost and pass on to the consumers a minimum in increased rates. The effect of co-operative effort by manufacturers and operators has been steadily to reduce rates for electricity, in the face of gradually rising prices, until the prohibitive advances which commenced about four years ago. ' In its statement to the committee, the. Green company points out that increased capacity of modern furnaces involved stoker speeds so high as to cause difficulty. Mechanisms were operated at too great speeds for best maintenance and control. In 1919 it brought out a "slow" drive. This has a neccentric with one foot of throw idouble the old standard). It? lonar feed lever is claimed to give trMlfr range of regulation. Matirmim furnaccapacities are obtained at C5 strokes of the stoker per minute. This, the maker believe, give sbetter results than the 60 to 80 strokes a minute which the old types of stokers were frequentlly forced to deliver.
