must pay the bill. It will be remem- bered that there was about forty thou sand dollars between the bid of the O'Rourke Co. and the next bidder who agreed to construct in months less time. According to the specifications if he failed to do so his contract price would be discounted $250 for every day required over time. The newspapers and nearly everybody else at first glance considered the higher bidder the cheapest for the reason that it was apparent that the work could not be done in seventeen months and it was estimated that the deductions of $25O per day for seven months would make the total $12,O 900 less than MT. O'Rourke's bid. The theory was plau- sible but the premises were incorrect. For every day of the seven months overtime there would be at a conserva- tive calculation an expense of S125 on the part of the government, and other employees who Would be standing round waiting with their hands in their pock- cts. All that expense would eventually have been charged to the Roosevelt project and to the farmers of this val ley. The saving, therefore, through the failure of the contractor in respect of time would only have been half as large as was estimated or $125 per day for seven months. a total of $26,000 as against the $4O,O0O more that would have been paid to the contractor, or difference still, of S14.00O. in favor of the O'Rourke Co. The engineers of course knew these things all the time but the general public failed to see the point and it would have been indeli- cate for the engineers to talk previous to the announcing of their recOmmen- datiOn.

what is known as pony truck wheel
and a copper disk with an electric
brush. which is connected with a throt-
tie closing cylinder. The air from the
train line pipe is taken up through the
cylinder, which is controlled by an
electric magnet on top Of the cylinder.
With the signals and the engines
equipped thus any engine attempting
to pass a signal set at block will au-
tomatically be brought to standsull,
The trolley wheel coming in contact
with the short rail in the center of the
track and the pony truck wheel com,
ing in contact with the main rail COM
pletes the circuit which charges the
magnet and in this way automatically
closes the throttle and sets the brakes.
On the other hand. when the signal IS
set clearance" there is no circuit com
pleted. and the train passes the signal
post untouched.
Some advantages Of the system are
that in case the engineer is dead or
asleep and the signal is set against
him the train IS brought to stop
without loss to the company or injury
to the train. The system is such that
should train break in two or an air
hose break the engine is shut down, as
the throttle works in harmony with
the brakes, and as the brakes are set
the throttle will close. The system also
throws a safeguard around the travel
ing public in the case of a derail for
il the signal is set at block the engine
will be stopped before the derail is
reached. .....
Railroad men who have examined
Mr.. SteigeImeyers patent are astound-
ed at the simplicity of the mechanism
and believe the system great success.
With this system in use, they say, the
danger of railroad travelling will be re-
duced 30 per cent. They also say that
it is entirely practical.

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.
Indiana Mans Invention to Pre-
vent Railroad Wrecks.

Automatic Continuance Which Acts
Directly on the Locomotives ThrOt-
tie Regardless of Engineers At
tentiOn or InRttentiOn - Railroad
Men Say 1t Is Entirely Practical
]. E. Steigelmeyer, a member Of the
Indianapolis fire department, is the in
ventOr of a system which, it is claimed
by prominent machinists, will success
fully prevent wrecks on railroads and
in many other ways make travelling
safer for the public, the employees
and the railroad companies, says tie
indianapolis Star.
The new invention is an addition to
the "block" system. The system has
been perfected by Mr.. Steigelmeyer
after several years of hard work and
he has applied for patents. As soon
as they are issued he will arrange for
a practical test of his scheme and will
then organize a company.
The new system is one which acts
directly upon the throttle of the loco
motive, regardless of the attention or
inattention of the engineer. The pat
emf is so arranged that each time a
signal is ignored the engine is auto
maticaIly stopped and at the same
time a record of the stop is made in
the signalman's tower, recording the
exact time it occurs. At the end of
his run the engineer must explain the
reasons for the stop. Thus, 1t is
claimed, will the watchfulness Of the
engineer be increased instead of di-
minished, as it has been by the former
block system.
The automatic locomotive control
is the name Of the new device. The
controlling power by which the engine
is stopped is electricity, while the
operating power is compressed air
taken from the train line pipe. a bat
terry at the bottom of the signal post
connected with a copper plate at the
top of the post, which, in turn, is con
nected with a roller arm on the arm Of
the signal post and Il short rail in the

the mechanism of the system as far
as the track is concerned ...-
On the engine is a small wheel which
comes in contact with the short wheel

An Albany dispatch says half doz-
en- agents of the United States inter
nal revenue service have had under
examination the books of a number of
liquor dealers for some days. They
have found that many farmers and
others in DOugherty county have been
accustomed to give orders on the liq-
uor dealers to their negro hands, the
goods being charged to the account of
the farmers. The result has been that
many farmers and contractors have
been required to take out licenses as

ed recommending to the college section

fight of many years to keep Highland
Park College of this city out of the
state association.
The college section has heretofore
had rules that no one would be admit
ted to the section except from col
leges giving certain amount of work.
and with certain number of profess
sors with the title of Phi. d. after their

word. and said nothing else would ex-'
