DEPUTIES OF FRANCE
worhngmen's Bill Finds seriou.
Obstacle in Mutual Benefit

Paris, Jan. 27.-The chamber of dep
suties devotes the forenoons to discuss
ing the workmen s pensionsbill and the
afternoons to the budget. The pension
bill is progressing well and will prob
ably be passed, despite obstacles of
where there are many. One of the most
important is the claim of the mutual
benefit societies, the leaders. of which
say: The moment the state imposes
payment of subscriptions, the workmen
will be not only unable to pay the vol
untary subscriptions that compose our
budget, but will lose even the habit of
economy and foresight, which is our
raisen d etre. What is to become of
us?''
It was thought for a long time that it
would be best to exempt all members of
the mutual benefit societies from pay
ing subscriptions, but it was recognized
to be impossible for it would have been
sacrificing the law to benefit the So
cieties. Then the commission promised
to draught a clause to satisfy every
body. The said clause is awaited with
curiosity for it will not be easy to give
satisfaction to two institutions for the
same purpose, namely, the state and the
benefit societies. Y
The mechanism Of the system consists
in retaining one per cent of the en-
ployee IS salary, in making the employer
pay similar sum, a third of one per
cent being added by the state, all three
to be paid into fund for the benefit Of
the employee.
Budget Debate.
! The budget debate is responsible for
an incident which has become annual,
namely, the suppression Of ssubprefects,
the chief arguments being chat the pro-
gress of communications has made adj
ministration divisions smaller. But the
senate will surely reinstate the subpre-
fects to the delight of the deputies, be-
cause the subprefect is primarily an
electoral agent.
In the chamber Of deputies, Graussau
made an Interpolation regarding the in
: ventory necessitated by the separation
of church and state. It was stated that
:. it would be necessary to open the tab
: ernacles to take stock Of the communion
: plate, thus leading to considerable agi.
u tation M. Marlou, minister Of finance,
:, Gained the agitation by stating that the
: treasury agents would rest satisfied with
:. statements made by the priests, adding
: that his instructions were similar to
those given to the priests by the arch
~ - bishops Of Paris.

Another important phase Of aerial
loeomotion, which in the near future
might probably have to be reckoned
with was the propelled aeroplane or
motor-driven kite. Valuable expert
ments had been made with these and
some, he knew, had met with so much
success that in a few years men might
be expected to be seen moving swift
ly thru the air on single surfaces, just
as a gliding bird moves. Such ma
chimes would move very rapidly, pro -
ably never less than 20 and up TO 1oo

BRAKEMAN WOOD A HERO
Held the Car Door Open-Motorman
STOKE to His Post.

When the rear car of the train caught
on the abutment of the bridge where
1t hung, poised for minute, there was
frantic rush Of the passengers for
the rear door. Probably score or
more got out, and as the car plunged
over the edge others leaped into tho
water. Motorrian Scott stuck to his
post, and went down with his train.
Conductor Curtis also persisted.
The third trainman, Brakeman
Wood, proved himself hero. When
the train left the rails and was bump
ing over the ties Wood ran to the rear
door OF the last car, threw it wide
open and held it for the passengers to
escape. He held the door open until
the car slid off the bridge and went
Into the water with it. He then swan
to the shore. His action in holding
the door open probably saved many
lives.
When the third car dropped into the
water Henry ROemer was in the act
OF crawling from window. Freeing
himself with an effort and being

help others. Swimming along the side
OF the fast sinking car he kicked out
the glass and thus gave several pas
sengers an opportunity to escape. One
man was caught in window and was
drowned before he could extricate him
self.
The accident was witnessed by many
people, and rescue work was prompt.
Strong swimmers endeavored to dive
to the submerged cars in search Of
bodies, but so strong was the tide that
they We're forced to desist. Profess
sional divers were then secured, who
donned their armor and went down.
But even they We're unable to do any
thing against the tide that swirled
around the sunken coaches.
An Italian named Marco Bona was
rescued from the third car, but died
from his Injuries. Boats soon swarmed
about the spot where the cars went
down, their location being marked by
the tops of their trolley poles.
