BOY RuN ovE1 BY BIG WAGON
From SATURDAYS Daily Pot,

6OX hON OVE& 6y BIG WAGON
From Saturdays Daily Post.
Just before noon today serious
street accident occurred, the favorable
outcome of which seems nothing short
of miraculous to those who were eye
witnesses to the affair.
Clifford Slinkard, the seven-year- old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. F. Slinkard was
hauling in his little wagon number Of
fresh laundered towels which he was
taking to his fathers barber shop.
Taking advantage of the smooth
cement walk at the side Of Walkers
store the little fellow sat down in the
wagon which he guided past pedes
trains as he drifted down the street.
Just as he came in front Of DR..
Pletcher's dental Office ]. W. Brosious
started to drive from the street to
the alley back of the bank building. He
saw the boy and called to him to stop
and thought he had done %.
Those who stood by say the little
fellow did stop and then the wagon
started down the slope Of the crossing
and was soon beyond his control. It
shot towards the horses feet and Bro
sious, knowing if he stopped, the horses
would kick the boy to death, drove
right on hoping in some way for the
best.
Men and women held their breath
While they saw the two wheels Of the
big wagonette pass diagonslly across
the little fellows body being power
less to render him any relief.
C. NJ. White was the first to reach
Clifford and picked him up and carried
him to DR.. Crook . Office where hasty
examination was made showing that
the wheels had passed across the hips
and abdomen and the wonder is the
boy was not killed. 1t Is believed that
his life was saved by the towels whisA
served as q cushion to relieve him of =
part of the great weight.
/ He was taken to his home and hot
applications applied to relieve the pain
and it is believed that no bones are
broken and that be will soon reco1ef.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS
OUR CORRESPONDENT WRITES
FROM NATIONAL CAPITAL

to demand for certain
legislative enactments in the inter
ests of labor at this session of
Congress, and prepared by Samuel
Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in col
laboration with the heads of other
organizations affiliated with the
federation, was submitted this
week to the Vice-President of the
United States and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives
The only tangible result of the
conferences was the declaration of
Mr.. Cannon that the House would
undoubtedly pass bill re-enacting
the employers liability act so as to
meet the constitutional objections
found in the old law by the United
States Court. AS to the other
Congressional enactments sought
by labor, Speaker Cannon assured
his callers that they would have
consideration by the proper COM
mittees of the House.
Representative Bourke Cochran
is frequent White House visitor
these days. In fact he is there so
often that there is much speculation
as to his real mission. It's a
case for smiles rather than for
comment" he replied the other
day whan asked, as he was leaving
the White House to talk about the
action of Charles F, Murphy i'll
leaving him off the Tammany
committees. Are you a Demo
crat today" Mr., Cochran was
asked. Il don't know what the
definition is to-day, replied Mr..
Cochran, and so I can't tell
whether I'm within the breast
works.
David Bennett Hill, of Albany,
IN. Y, was in the Senate and
about the Capitol this week. Mr..
Hill says emphatically that he is
out of politics and that he is over
here to argue a case before the
Supreme Court. 1t is fresh III the
memory of all Democrats that there
was a time when ex-senator Hill
was a power in the politics of the
Empire State and contested honors
only a few years ago for state
leadership, with Richard Croker,
the boss, at that time, of Tammany
Hall. Several times Mr.. Hill has
had his name on many tongues as
a probable candidate of the Demo
cratic party for the Presidency of
the United States.
The House of Representatives
passed resolution this week, in
PRODUCED by Representative
Harrison, of New York, calling Oh
the President for information re-
garding his authority of law for
exercising the function of govern
ment on the Canal Zone. Mr..
E Harrison charged the President
with exceeding his authority and
charged the Republicans in the
House with negligence in their
conduct of the government.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, is
doing work which must appeal to
every unprejudiced mind in his
, endeavors to secure an increase in
the pay Of employees of the
executive departments. The pay
of Senators and Representatives
was increased fifty per cent at the
! last session to meet the acknowl-
I edged increase in the cost of liv-
ing in Washington, but until
. Senator Bacon took up the cudgels
in their behalf, no one considered
: the poor government clerks who
; are obliged to keep up with the
procession as best they may on the
salary allotment of years ago.
