NEW DEVICE DESIGNED
TO PREVENT WRECKS

PITTSBURG. Pa, May IA new de-
vice to prevent railroad wrecks is being
tested by several OF the big railroad
systems. It consists of an electrical
equipment. applied to the rails and loco
motives, designed to stop moving trains
in a short space.
1t is claimed on behalf of the inven-
ton that it automatically shuts off
steam. releases the air brakes auto
matically, sounds an alarm and lights a
warning signal in the locomotive cab,
permits telegraphic communication be-
tween trains and needs no third rail.

The banks gained enough cash yester-
day to bring down their total losses
since Friday last to only s109, 900 in their
operations through the subtreasury
since then. This compares with a total
gain which they made last week through
this course of about 1000. G00. The
banks also gained last week about S4,-
100000 on the net interior movement
1t is thought unlikely they have made
anywhere near such a gain as this
amount this week. consequently a mega
tive or Indifferent bank statement is in
prospect tomorrow.
