PENNSY DRIVERS
SEE TIE SIGNALS
Maryland Division Engineers
Show Almost Perfect Eff
cheney in Tests

Surprise signal tests conducted by
the Pennsylvania Railroad to insure
observance of all signals by trainmen
form the basis of a report just issued
showing the results obtained in the
tests made in the first five months Of
this year. over 1000 tests were made
in that time, and of this number 30
per cent showed perfect records.
When the engineman permits the
pilot of his engine to pass a stop signal,
even by few feet, the test is marked
a failure, and practically all of the 10
per cent. imperfect records were of
this class. While technically they were
failures, a very large percentage was
due to a slight misjudgment in apply
ing air brakes and could in no way
have caused accident.
The care taken by the engineers to
observe all signals is seen from the
figures Of the Pittsburg division, on
which the traffic is heavier than that
Of any other division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. Two of the months
showed a perfect record, while for the
entire five months this division had a
percentage of 90.
The largest number of tests made
during the five months on any one
division was on the Maryland, which
showed 9S per cent. perfect out of 952
tests.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"A Race Across the Continent" Is the
title OF the newest A. II. Woods melo-
drama, which is the attraction at the
Lyceum Theatre this afternoon for
three days It is described as a sensa-
tional play in four acts and thirteen
scenes and it's author. John oliver, has
evolved in it a masterpiece Of cleverly
worked out situations and a miracle Of
realism. The piece abounds in original
mechanical effects, which are said to
top anything ever seen in a stage pro-
duction. Prominent among the latter
are "The Race over Chllcoot Pass" and
The Balloon Fight Above the Clouds"
To the roof of one of ChicagOs tallest
buildings is secured an enormous gas
balloon, which Is seen straininE to es-
cape from the cables which hold It.
These moorings are presently cast OF
and the balloon begins to ascend. II
contains three passengers. a man and
woman, and on the frail rope-ladder
swaying beneath the car another man
who, inch by inch, creeps up the lad
der and into the car, where a fearful
struggle takes place in mid-air one
OF the men finally overpowers the
other and throws him over the rail to
his death.
