An extended speech in opposition to
the forestry service was made by Senator
Hepburn Of Idaho in the Senate yesterday

priation bill was under consideration. Mr.
Hepburn ridiculed the charts of the for

the chief forester had undertaken to

been i'm the history of the world.
He criticised the practice of speaking
or ANY mans policy, saying that the
only policies Of the government that are
not fictitious are those tina, are written
in the laws Of the land.
Mr. Hepburn spoke upon his amend
ment to the bill excepting the forest re-
serves Of Idaho from those in which timber
may be cut by permit of the Secretary OF
Agriculture and exported from the state.
The foresters. he said. are being supplied
with splendid yachts so they can speed

SAFETY DEVICE TEST
PLAN FOR PREVENTING CoLLI-
sIoNS ON RAILWAYS

A preliminary experiment was made
yesterday with what is declared to be
the best known device for the safety Of
railroad trains. The experiment took
place on a specially constructed track
on the Chesapeake Beach railroad near
the District line. and was held in con-
nection with a public test which Is to be
made in the near future. which will be
attended by railroad omcials from all
over the country and by of1icials connect
ed with the interstate commerce commits
sion. This commission. 1t is said. has for
a long time been endeavoring to dis
cover some device which will insure the
safety Of the passengers and crews Of
railroad trains.
BY this device. which is conducted un-
der the direction Of the American Signal
Company. a third-rail\system Is used in
connection with signal system. which
in several previous experiments has
proved, 1t is stated. that two trains on
the same track cannot possibly get to-
gether. A turbine is installed on the
engine. which furnishes the electricity.
and which ia connected with an electric
magnet in the cab and thence to the
third rail- This rail is only charged with
about sixty volts of electricity. which
voltage 1t is stated. would not endanger
the lives Of trespassers. Should an en-
gneer die or go to sleep at his post
while approaching the rear or front end
of another train on the same track. or
If signal be thrown wrong. a cutoff
electrical appliance connected with the
device referred to would connect with
the magnet in the engine. which is ap-
piled to the air brake and the brakes on
the entire train would at once be drawn.
thus bringing the train to a stop.
During these experimental tests the
third rail is laid alongside of the track
and double Shoe" attached to the en-
gine passes over it. making the cOnnec-
tion. but it is stated that when 1T is
installed on the railroads of the coun-
try. this rail will be placed in the center
of the track.
The test yesterday was witnessed by a
number of officials connected with the
manufacturing company. and all express
ed themselves pleased with the result.
