MOTORMAN'S QUICK WIT
AVERTS ANOTHER WRECK
Scene of Escape at Grade Crossing
Where Many Men Were Killed.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-Dashing down
the steep incline with the speed of an
express train. 2 trolley car filled with
passengers shot across the tracks of the
Lackawanna Railroad yesterday. barely
missing a collision with an approaching
east bound train at the Clifton Avenue
crossing. in Newark. By a few feet only
was repetition of the horror OF week
ago averted. 1t is strangely significant
that no warning bell was heard and no
signal sent the gateman.
The motorman wasted no time in
thought or elaboration. He realized
that an attempt TO check the speed OF
the car before It reached the crossing
would be futile. There was but one
thing TO do. and. while the chances were
against him in frightful odds. he did IT,
Throwing of the brake, he swung the
current switch to the full power notch,
and as the added current aided the force
of gravity the car dashed forward at a
terrific speed. Past the descending gates
the car rushed and over the track Just
ia advance OF the oncoming train. The
trolley car barely passed the locomotive
and swung up the incline on the other
side as the train went roaring by.
The inquest into the last trolley hor-
ror. in an effort 10 locate the RESPONSE
bility. was resumed YESTERDAY adjourn
ing last night to reconvene on Monday.

The naval appropriation bill provides
two midshipmen for each Senator. Rep
and Delegate in Congress,
two for the district of Columbia, and
five each year at large. The reapportion-

shipmen now in service. and vacancies
found to exist or places created by the
new districts would ordinarily be filled
by members OF the next Congress
The House, however, without the
knowledge of the Navy Department, pro-
vided that each Senator. Representative.
and Delegate who has not had an ap-
pointment in the Fifty-seventh Congress.
or in whose State. Territory, or dis
trict a vacancy exists on or before March
4. shall be permitted TO recommend one
mfdshipman to the Naval Academy. This
is an unprecedented action 1t is TAX
ing from the members OF the next House
