The danger of the Pennsylvania rail

demonstrated again last evening by
the serious and perhaps fatal accident
which befell Pearl Edsall, a vel

Memorial hospital and at noon today
was still alive but unconscious. 1t is
believed by the hospital authorities
and the physician that he can not live.
Train Confused Him.
Last evening Edsall was returning
home from the Rowlett Desk factory
where he is employed and as he was
crossing Twelfth street, he noticed
No. II coming from the east. He was
near the south section of track. No.
ii was on track which, little be-
fore 1t reaches Twelfth street divides
1nto three sections, each leading to the
depot. Edsall stood on the south Sec
tion, and thought he was out of dan
ger. according to an eye witness. He
was watching the train. The train in
stead of continuing on the main track
branched onto the south track and
struck Edsall. He was carried a
station and then. according to the
eye witness, he was tossed to one
side. In falling. his left leg fell across
the track and was ground off by the
car wheels.
Taken to Hospital.
dianapolis was not aware he struck
the man at Twelfth street crossing.
and, as. far as could be learned, had
not sounded any warning signal other
than the customary sounding of the
bell of the engine as the mail train
pulled into the station. After the
train had been stopped. the trainmen
ran to where Edsall was lying, ex-
pecting to find him dead However,
he was alive. but unconscious, and Dr.
Marvel. the company physician. and
the ambulance were called. Edsall
was taken to the hospital where his
injuries were dressed
Edsall is well known, especially
among the shop men of the city. He
is married and lives with his wife at

Edsall was not apprised of the acct
dent until several hours after it hap

He will Veto It.
A prominent politician declared this

House Yesterday Cut Down
Salary Increase for Presi-
dent From 100000 to
Mere Sum of $4,000.
WATSON CHAMPI0NED
THE LARGER INCREASE
BY Overwhelming Majority the
House Refused to Accept
Senate Amendment In
creasing Salary of Speaker.

Washington. Feb. 25.-After a long
and spirited debate the house of rep
resentatives yesterday afternoon fixed
the salary of the president at $4,000
flat, and made no allowance for trav-
cling expenses. This is reduction of
$25, 900 from the stipend provided by
the senate and is a net increase in
the present compensation of the chief
executive of approximately $4,000.
His salary now is $4,000 a year and
although congress voted him $4,000
year for railroad travel. he has not
spent in excess of $4,000.
The action of the house was in the
nature of instructions to it's conferees
on the legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bill. who hereto
fore have been unable to agree with
the senate conferees on this matter.
The house also knocked out the in
crease of $4,000 each in the salaries
of the vice president and the speaker,
leaving them at $4,000, and also re-
fused to accept the increases in the
salaries of federal judges, proposed
by the senate. The vote did not fol-

---.-~ Debate Over Salaries.
When the discussion turned to the
increased salaries of the president,
vice president. speaker of the house
and judges, about which the con-
ferees could not agree, Mr. Clark re-
newed his criticism. declaring that in
stead of $4,000 the president actually
received 1921 900 per annum.
The vote on each increase was TAX
en- separately. By 81 to 1O2 the house
refused to accept the senate amend
ment increasing the speakers salary.
The house then voted on the propo-
sition to increase the presidents sal
ary to $4,000. giving him outright
the $4,000 allowed for travelling ex-
penses. This vote resulted: Yeas,
141: nays, 16S. which again had the
effect of rejecting the senate amend
ment. Before the announcement was
made Speaker Cannon directed that
his name be recorded in the affirm
ative.
Unusual Scene Follows.
An unusual scene followed. Mem
bers were on their feet in a general
scramble for recognition for motions

recede from the amendment and
amend it SO as to make the salary
$4,000 was preferential. Mr.. Wat
son sought to shut off debate by NOV
ing the previous question. and on that
proposition the roll again was called.
The previous question was ordered
and on the vote being taken on the
adoption of the amendment it was
carried, 1853 to 149, amid republican
applause. The amendment will make
the presidents salary equivalent to
the present salary plus the $25, 200

for travelling expenses. the latter ap-

London, Feb. 25.-Every effort Of
the suffragettes to force the hand Of
the government becomes more deter

to predict how their demands may be
has taken on an embarrassing aspect
for the government, owing to the .high
social position OF many among some
thirty or more women arrested. and
locked up in jail last evening.
The women arrested include Nya

Taunton: Miss Daisy Solomon. daugh-
ter of the ex-premier of Cape Colony,

fragette movement.
Both sides were well prepared for
the attempt on the part Of the suffra-
gettes to force themselves on Premier
Asquith. who had declined to receive
a deputation.
Brave on danger Duty"
The women held parliament" at
Caxton Hall. and a number of them
started on danger duty" In a solid
phalanx. led by Mrs. Lawrence.
The police. abandoning former tao
tics of barring the approach to the
house of commons. adopted the new
plan of breaking up the procession
close to Caxton Hall. They permitted
the suffragettes to proceed simply By
couples. escorted by small parties .of
spectators. The women were thus1not
given much chance to create q distur-
bance, although they were allowed to
come within close proximity OF parlia-
ment. The police. however. kept them
continually on the move and none was
allowed access TO the building. Final
ly several Of the women, including
Mrs. Lawrence. the leader. were
placed under arrest.
Word of the reception OF this depu-
tation being brought to Caxton Hall,
much excitement ensued, and Mrs.
Saul Solomon volunteered to lead q
second delegation to the house. This
in effect met the same fate, but led
to more exciting street scenes and q
much larger number of arrests.
Seek Premier at Club.
third attempt was then organized
at the hall, but this time the destina-
ton of the deputation was Brooks
Club, where the premier was dining.
Near st. James palace a large body
of police descended upon the process
sion, which was compelled to break
ranks, and several more arrests were
made. Only two or three OF the wom-
they were intercepted by the police
and compelled to abandon the enter
prise.

east of Economy this morning as the
result of a spreading rail. M. c. Mer
rill, of Cincinnati, a mail clerk, was

The engine and tender rolled off the
track into the ditch and rest on the
side. The train left Richmond I al

Wreck a Bad One.
The wreck was the worst that has
occurred in Wayne county for some
time in which no fatality took place
1t is supposed the recent heavy rains
had loosened the gravel in the road
bed and this resulted in the spread
ing rail. There was some rumor about
Economy to the effect spikes had been
drawn from the ties, but this rumor
could not be confirmed.
One of Rails Spread.
The train was bowling along at a
good speed when the rail spread En-
gineer McNeary of Cincinnati, said
he had no warning of the impending
disaster. The rail gave way and the
engine and tender went into the ditch
turning half way over. The front
truck of the baggage car left the rails
also. Merrill was in this car and was
caught by the rending timbers and
bruised and mashed badly. 1t was
thought at first he would die, but this
afternoon it is believed he will recov.

Track Was Torn Up.
About 200 feet of track were torn
up. The wheels of the passenger
coach cut the ties as they jolted
along. The passengers were in a state
of great excitement. They made a
rush for the doors and there was con-
siderable jostling but all escaped un-
