yesterday, by a rising vote Of $50 to
q passed the bill to make effective
Cuban reciprocity. Dissenting votes
were abou equally divided between
Republicans and Democrats, but there
was no record vote, the minority haV-
ing too few votes to order the yeas

The Democrats, under the leader
ship of Mr.. Williams, sought to the
last to secure amendments to the bill
in accordance with the action Of the
Democratic caucus, but were defeated
steadily. Mr.. Williams made the final
effort when he tried to have the Dill
recOmmitted to the ways and means
committee with instructions to amend,
but a point of order under the special
rule providing for a vote on the bill
without intervening motion was sus'
tanned.

the Democratic side when he enter

saying he preferred to err, if he erred
at all, in giving the house the right to

by a strict party vote.
The debate began Monday and was
continued up to within a few minutes

An Investigation was held at the office

The main reason for the cause of the

composed Of so many foreign ears with

this is that the braking power of the for

that of the home cars is 70 n ~ per cent.

Thrilling Experience of Trainmen

Colorado Springs. Colo. Nov. H.-Many
persons have wondered o 1t feels to go
out into space from the cab Of a locomo-
tive going at a rate of forty to fifty miles
because Of a conviction that the chances
of life are greater by taking u a leap
than by remaining on the seat of the caP.
To make such q leap out of a runaway
engine that is descending Ute Pass. taking
chances on landing against a bowlder or
the side OF a mountain. was the fate that
Frank Watts. engine driver, and James
Brandebery, fireman. performed. and both
men are still alive to tell the tale.
The fact that the air brakes would not
stop the train dawned upon Watts soon
after crossing the safety switch below
Cascade.
Every train that comes down Ute Pass
stops at Cascade for inspection. The rum
amined and tested and four different men
have to sign a book that says the train
is In shape to make the descent before the
engine driver Is allowed to pull the throt,
tie to start his machine on its downward
journey.
As a further safeguard against run

If the engine driver fails to whistle for
this switch his train runs up the side Of

FIREMAN TELLS STORY.
TIL freight train passed inspection at
Cascade and entered the main track at
the safety switch. 1t was not long there
after that Watts. in recharging his air
brakes, made the discovery that his train
Was beyond his control. His brakes were
not of sufficient power to Withstand the
weight of his sixteen cars of gold ore and
lead and silver bullion and there was no
reasonable expectation that the train
would remain on the tracks through the
first tunnel of the eight that lay be-
tween him and the level track
Brandeberry tells the story thus:
THE last safety switch was passed with
the train under perfect control, stealing
usual until we had covered about three
fourths Of a mile, when the engine driver
thought he had better recharge his DIR
brakes. There Is a loss OF air in running
the train, and 1t Is necessary from time to
time to recharge the brakes. II this Is mo-
done the brakes will lose their grips On the
wheels. This recharging process requires
nearly three minutes. and, with the terri

down this time gave us a terrific impetus.
When the brakes had been srecharged the
engine driver applied them. but there
seemed to be little effect. He applied them
again and again. but 1t was OF no per-

creased. There are thousands of women
in Chicago, mothers of children. who
are begging for. employment, that will
enable them to support their babies.
The Children's Aid society undertook
to find homes for mothers and babes;
homes where the mother could earn
wages as servant, and at the same time
keep her baby with her. The socity found
the undertaking easier to plan than to
accomplish, but the unusual demand for
servants helped in the solution.
There are advantages attached to the
employing of a woman with child that
are seldom. thought of. As rule she does
not demand as high wages as the girl;
she has no outside interests and does not
ask afternoons and evenings out. nor
has she company" to entertain. Many
of the families who have employed this
class of help say the advantages more
than offset the disadvantages, but the
mothers and babies will not find it so
easy to find a home and employment
with the supply Of servants exceeding
the demand.
