Railroads Refuse to Obey Commerce
Commissions Orders.

There is likely to be a clash between
the interstate commerce commission
and the large railroad systems of the
country over the question of grabirons
on engines. The committee appointed
by the Master Mechanics association
to consider the location of grabirons
on the front ends of locomotives has
reported that they are not safety ap-
pliances within the meaning of the
act of congress, and as a result many
of the roads will decline to decorate
their engines in the manner required
by law.
The committee Of the Master Me-
chanics' association maintained that
grabirons could not be considered safe
ty appliances because they invite en-
ployeS to take dangerous and unnec-
essary risks by riding on the pilots.
The members of the interstate COM
merce commission hold an opposite
opinion and hence the trouble.
1t is admitted by the railroad Off
Gals that the safety appliance act has
done a great deal to insure the safety
of employees in their work, but the
grabirons on locomotives are object
ed to for more reasons than one.
Automatic couplers and air brakes
have already been introduced in COM
pliance with the provisions of the law
and all future equipment will be sup
piled With these appliances The ne
cessity for such devices and the wis
dom of the law relating to their use
have never been questioned by the
railroads. But the grabiron amend
ment is said to be so loosely drawn and
so indefinite in its wording that the
roads are at a loss to understand
what is really required of them.
The attorneys of some of the roads
have advised their master mechanics
not to pay any attention to the mat
ter of grabirons, as the law does not
plainly require them, and it cannot be
thus construed. Other roads have
proceeded with the work ordered and
now have their engines fitted with
pilot grabirons. Many of the roads
have thought it sufficient to equip the
rear of the tenders with these safety
appliances and have placed none on
the sides. 1t is the apparent intention
of the amendment that grabirons and
steps shall be fitted to the front and
back ends of locomotives and on the
sides the same as on freight cars.
The secretary of the commission is
now engaged in trying to decide how
much of the grabiron amendment
should be enforced, and in the mean
time the railroads have decided that
the law must be passed upon by the
courts before any money is spent in
complying with this provision of the
amended law

ESCAPE OF FORGER BELL
MAY BE INVESTIGATED
Government Attorney Not Satisfied
With Explanation of Deputies.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 20. -
United States District Attorney Hol-
land is not satisfied with the story Of
the escape yesterday of Albert E. Bell,
alias Crosby, the confessed mail pouch
thief and swindler, who was being
brought from Denver to Philadelphia.
The district attorney learned today di-
rect from Deputies Baker and Davis,
who had charge of Bell, the circum-
stances of the escape. After hearing
the statements of the two men Mr.. Hol-
land said:
II can hardly credit the stories told
by the two deputies; can scarcely be-
lieve that such was the case"
The district attorney refused, how
ever, to discuss what flaws appeared to
him in the statement of the deputies.
In his statement to the district attor-
ney Deputy Davis said neither he nor
Deputy Baker had ever been in Phila-
delphia before. According to the rec
ords of the United States marshars
Office Davis was in Philadelphia on
April "a, 1900, having brought to this
city T. J. Stewart, a national bank
embezzler, who had been arrested in
Denver. Bell is still at large, no trace
of his whereabouts having been discov-
erred

KANSAS GOVERNOR
VISITS CAMP SAWYER
Troops Are Allowed to Rest After
Mondays Hard Work.

FORT RILEY, Kan, Oct. 20.-A Wis
it to Gen. Bates by Gov. Bailey, of
Kansas, and the bursting of a steam
connection between a dynamo supply
ing light for the officers mess tent
and the boiler were the most stirring
events of today at Camp Sanger.
Gov. Bailey, attended by his staff,
arrived at camp headquarters about 3
o'clock. He had been met at the sta
ton by a squadron of cavalry, which
escorted him to and from the camp.
Gen. Bates, attended by all the Off
GERS of his staff, was awaiting tire
governor, and after greetings had been
exchanged the entire party visited the
tent of Gen. Bates. The governor, aft
er a short stay with the general, re-
turned to his carriage and was driven
to the camp of the Kansas troops,
where he was received with all the
military honors due his rank.
The steam connection between the
dynamo and the engine parted shortly
after O'Clock and produced a violent
sizzling sound that threw the colored
walters and cooks into panic. The
big mess tent radiated violently, ex-
citing the colored men for a few min
utes, all of them fleeing as though for
their lives.
The day was barren of incident as
far as military matters were concern

and the afternoon was devoted to lee

Thomas Thoroughbred Finishes Eight
Ienntha Ahead of Major DainuerfieId


NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-The Brighton
cup of $4,000, the last of the big handi
caps of the year. was run at Brighton
Beach track today and $4,000 persons
saw E. r. Thomas Hermis, second choice
in the betting, win easily by eight lengths.
The time, 1858 2-5, was excellent, and
was next to the best time ever run for
the stake Ethelbert, in 1900, ran the
distance. two miles and quarter, in
3:49 LIS, a worlds record.
Major Daingerfeld, owned by w. 3.
Leeds, the faVorite, was second. He was
beaten at the end of one mile and three
quarters. Only once during the race did
the Major display a flash of his speed,
when he went to the front in the first
soon relinquished the lead. A. Feather
stones 1gniter was third.
The field that faced the starter for the
Brighton cup Was as follows: Hermis.
ia. Redfern up; Major Daingerfield 124,
Odom in the saddle; Igniter, 124. Hicks
up, and Allan, the only three-year- old,
los, Fuller up.
Major Daingerfield and Hernis both
opened at . to l. but steady stream of
money came in on the Leeds horse, fore
ing his price down to to 5. Hermis
was also heavily played, his price drop
ping to s to 5. 1gniter was quoted at 4
to 1, while 60 to l was laid against Allan.
As the horses paraded past the grand
stand they We're given a rousing Cheer.
The thorOughbredS walked to the six

sent away to a good start, with Hermis
in front, Major Daingerfeld second and
Ignlter third. As the flying thorough

leading by three quarters of a length,
with the Major second and Igniter third.
This order remained the same around
the paddock turn and into the back
stretch. At the three-quarter pole Odom
sent his mount to the front and a great
shout went up, but Redeem was not in
the least disturbed and took another
wrap on Hermis. Passing the stand the

NOT ENOUGH CLERKS
TO DETECT FRAUDS
Auditor Castle, of Postoffice Depart
nnent, Recommends Increase in Force.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 20.-It is
understood that Auditor Castle, of the
postoffice department, in his annual
report will recommend an increase OF
approximately 200 clerks in the 600
already employed in his bureau. Dur
ing the six years of Auditor Castles
incumbency the actual work Of the Of
fee has increased so per cent and the
clerical force only 20 per cent. The
report will state that there is a great
need for very important checks against
possible postal abuses which have
never been applied in the auditors
Office, and which, 1t Is stated, cannot
be applied with the present force.
In urging additional clerical force,
the auditor takes the position that the
efficiency of the auditors Office Is an
important one in the postal service, as
most of the receipts and disburse-
ments are settled without any other
examination whatever in the post
office department"

MANY GO WEST.
immigration Movement Continues, Al
though Season Is Late.

In spite of the lateness of the season
there was a large homeseekers movement
to the Western states yesterday. Both
the Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific were obliged to add extra equipment
to their regular trains in order to handle
the immigrants.
The Great Northern had two extra
sleepers on both it's trains and the North
ern Pacific was obliged to run four extra
cars to accommodate the travellers.
Although it is getting late for home
seekers excursions said Cal E. Stone,
assistant general passenger agent of the
Great Northern I'VE had large immigra-
ton movement today. The rains in Illinois
and Indiana have been so heavy this fall
that farmers living in those states are
just about finishing their threshing now.
They were obliged to postpone their home
seeking trip for few weeks on account of
the lateness of the crops in maturing, and
this is why the western travel is keeping
up so well this year"

An application was received by the as

given the privilege of clergy rates, such
as is accorded to the ministers and mis-
sionaries. A refusal to grant this priv
1lege, according to Dowie, would be a

report before the session closes. The
application for reduced rates for secre-
taries of the Y. al. C. A. was also re-

ATHLETIC UNION EXPEI1S
WALTER ECKERSALL
Walter Savage, of the Wisconsin Team, Is
Also Dropped.

CHICAGO, Oct 2O.-Walter Eckersall,
quarterback on the University of Wiscon-
sin football team, and known all over the
country for his sprinting ability. was ex-
PEELED from the amateur ranks tonight at
meeting of the registration committee
of the Central Association of the Amateur
Athletic union. Walter Savage, formerly
of the Lewis institute, of Chicago, but at
present a member Of the University of
Wisconsin football team, also was ex-
PEELED. SIS
Both men were suspended by the union
some time ago, on charges of having play
ed with baseball teams in which there
were professional players.
Tonights ruling will not prevent the
players finishing their football engage
ments this season, but in the future both
men will be regarded as professionals by
the Amateur Athletic union.
