Responsible if Employees Are Work
ed overtime-Work on Geological
Map Ordered Continued.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Under the
rule recommended from the committee
on Rules by Dalzell, the House to-day
amended the substitute for the La Fo-
lette 16 hour railroad employe bill by
an affirmative vote of 279, there being
no negative votes cast. Both Repub-
licans ami Democrats agreed that the
amendment to the bill strengthened 1t
greatly and it will be satisfactory to
the President
The most important amendment ad-
opted by the House is the elimination
of the word knowingly" whenever 1t
occurs, which had the effect of reiiev-
ing railroads of the responsibility for
overwork unless permitted or required
with the knowledge of the railroad
management that the employee mas
worked overtime.
The House agreed to the conference
report on the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial bill and then resolved it
self into a committee of the whole for
the further consideration of the Sum
dry Civil Rill holding a night session
in hope of completing the measure.
By vote of liz to SO an amendment
was adopted which provided for the
continuance Of the work of the geolog-
ical map of the United States.

JAMESTOWN, Pa Feb.23.-In one
of the most remarkable wrecks tnat
ever occurred on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. fifty four passengers AMI a
railroad crew OF ten people were more
or less injured this morning when the
Pennsylvania special, the eighteen hour
train between New York and Chicago
wrecked while rounding a sharp curve

Seven passengers sustained serious

All will be able to leave the hospi-
tails within a few days. except Kllle,
who has a serious wound in one lung.
The flyer was about so minutes late
and was travelling over fifty miles an
hour when II reached the curve. The
accident was caused by the brake rig
ging dropping to the track on the first
Pullman coach following the engine
and combination smoking car. The
great speed and weight of the train
tore up the tracks and steel ties for
800 feet. The engine and sleeper re-
mained on the rails. but three Pullman
man coaches plunged down sixty foot
embankment on to the thick ice cover

Much disorder followed the accident,
which was greatly increased by the
attempts of the railroad officials to pre-

Examination Into Thaw's Present
Sanity Disliked by Defense.
HIS MOTHER WOULD CONSENT
Severity Of Jerome's Cross Examiha-
ton Of Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw Was
Due to Desire For Appointment Of
Lunacy Commission.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-Counsel for
Harry Thaw spent a good part of the
day reading the crop Of press rumors
which sprang up during every adjourn
ment The attorneys are particularly
anxious to have it understood that they
will fight any attempt to have lunacy
commission appointed. However 1t is
the growing belief that Jerome is point
ing his efforts in this direction, and
that perhaps he was influenced in this
direction when he made his cross ex-
animation of Evelyn Thaw perhaps
unnecessarily cruel. He hoped that
the attorney for the defense might pro-
fit by the nrst show of severity and
agree to the appointment of a commits
sion.
When they failed to do this, Jerome
maneuvered in another direction and
undertook to have Mrs. Thaw's testi-
mony stopped long enough to have
Drs. Deemar ana Bingham, the pris-
oner's family physicians testify. 1t 81
said that since Jerome's conference
with these physicians day or so ago,
Jerome had an idea of building up
from the testimony of these physicians
a ground work for his application for
a lunacy commission Notwithstanding
that these physicians were summoned
from Pittsburg in behalf of the de-
fendant.
J 1t Is held that Jerome's eagerness to
have physicians testify can only have
one meaning, that their testimony has
to do with defendants present state
Of mind as shown through heredity
taint. 1t is understood that the elder
Mrs. Tnaw is also anxious to have the
trial with its shocking details stopped
but If his counsel follows Thaw's wish
es they will continue to fight any move
to have a lunacy commission appointed.
