Dear Aunt Susan: Please order an

stranded. Yours in haste and greatly
In distress, Harold"
This is the communication that Har-
old Lamb is reported to have sent from
Ogden to Mrs. z. F. Holmes, now in
washington. early yesterday morning,
after an Oregon Short Line train had
made junk and kindling wood out Of his
$4,000 automobile between Utah Hot
Springs and Ogden.
Some time after midnight yesterday
morning Mr.. Lamb left the springs for
Ogden in his sixty horsepower Stearns
machine. In the rainstorm he ran off a
culvert at the Oregon Short Lin cross
ing. The auto came to a stop with the
hind wheels across the railroad track
and the front wheels I'm the ditch. Lamb
returned to the springs for help. Denny
A. Smyth came to the rescue with hts
car. A cable was attached to the
Stearns when train No. g. which leaves
Ogden at 1890, compelled them to
throw the towline overheard to save
themselves. A man was sent down the
track to flag the train. The engineer
failed to stop. An instant later the en-
CINE struck the automobile amidship,
reducing it to a complete wreck and
surrounding country.
After striking the auto the train was
brought to a standstill. but the dam
age had been done. Mr.. Lamb, after
making a brief inspection of the wreck,
returned TO Utah Hot Springs.
He was seen on the streets of Salt
Lake City yesterday afternoon, his
usual natty appearance somewhat the
worse for wear. Mr.. Lambs car fig
ured I'm a sensational incident last SUM
mer when 1t attempted to pass a tele-
graph pole in lower Main street IL
climbing over the top of it. In this ac-
cident the damage was only about a
thousand dollars. On another occasion
Mr.. Lambs car skidded around a cor
ner south of the city at speed of
about thirty miles an hour and was
projected into q band of sheep. Four
sheep were killed, but Lamb escaped.
Mr.. Lambs friends say 1t viii be q
great hardship for him to be deprived
of his car until another can be shipped
from the factory.

FELONS
AGAIN CAPTURED
CONVICTS HAVE THREE DAYS
OF LIBERTY
Secured Freedom by Improvising q
Trolley on a Taut Line Across
River Near Where They
Were Working

SAN FRANCISCO, April michael
McKenna and Alexander Hagan, con-
victs who escaped from the state prison
whom a search since has been made
in northern California by numerous
officers assisted by bloodhounds, now
occupy cells in the city prison here.
They were arrested this morning just
as they were about to land from the
river steamer Modoc, on which they
had slowed themselves away before its
departure from Sacramento last even
ing. They were recognized by officers
of the boat who, before landing was
made, sent word to the harbor police
station, with the result that four Off
GERS were on hand to take them in Gus
tody when the dock was reached. They
will be returned to Folsom this after
noon.
Both men are long term convicts,
serving sentences for robbery. Mcken-
ma was sent to the penitentiary from
San Diego county in 1908 for twelve
years, and Hagan was committed in
1907 for eighteen years from San Fran
cisco. They escaped from stone quar-
ry at the prison. where they had been
sent to oil a derrick, by going hand
over hand along a guy wire across a
dam, in this way reaching the bank
of the American river farthest from
the prison.
Threw Away Convict Suits
Their convict suits were found about
three miles above the dam, and
large force of officers started imme-
diately on their trail.
1t was reported yesterday that Hagan
had been spoken to by Sheriff McAuley
near Lincoln, Placer county, who was
unaware of his identity. Another re-
port said that both Of the escaped
criminals were hiding In the bushes
along Bear river. 1t appears, how
ever, that at no time since their escape
had the men been far from the state
capital.
McKenna and Hagan told the police
a sensational story of their escape and
the events following it. They said they
escaped by gliding across the river in
all improvised trolley, which they
made by singing a pulley over the
taut cable that crossed the river at
the point where they were working.
Three hours later, they asserted, they
were attacked by one of the blood
hounds that had been placed on their
trail. The beast, according to the
convicts' story, attacked McKenna and
grabbed him by the wrist. A fierce
struggle followed between the two
men and the dog, and finally Hagan
succeeded I'M cutting the animaPs
throat. Then the convicts slowly
worked their way to Sacramento.

BACON INSISTS
ON DEMOCRATS
BEING HEARD
ALDRICH SPEAKS FOR REPUB-
LICANS ONLY
CHAIRMAN OF FINANCE SAYS
MAJORITY SHOULD RULE
Declares II Is Within Province of
Ruling Party In committee to
Shape Tariff Bill for
Senate


wv ASHINGTON, April 1.-The SEN
wv ate began consideration today OF
" Senator Bacon's resolution de-
claring that the Democratic side of the
chamber should be represented in all
the hearings held by the finance COM
mittee. Senator Aldrich, chairman or
the committee contended that as the
Republican party would be held re-
sponsible for tariff legislation, 1t was
the province of the Republican men,
bers of the committee to shape the bill
for the senate.
Republicans and Democrats alike for
fifty years, Mr.. Aldrich said, had pur-
sued the policy of having the senators
of the majority party frame the tarlfr
bill before it was placed before the
rules committee. This policy in legis--
lation. Mr.. Aldrich said, was pursued
in every country in which representa-
tive and party government existed.
Mr.. Rayner in an impassioned ad-
dress attacked the majority's method
in framing a tariff bill. He urged that
when you are dividing this plunder
at least be fair to each other" He de-
clared that Republican procedure was
star chamber process.
AIdrich Retorts
Mr.. Aldrich retorted that the Demo-
cratic members of the finance commit
tee were holding meetings of their own,
and that they had their experts.
The Bacon resolution was referred to
the committee on finance.
What turned out to be a general de-
bate on the tariff was a feature of the
senate proceedings today, on Senator
Bacons resolution favoring the consid-
Grafton of tariff legislation by the full
committee on finance instead Of by the
Republican members of that commit
tee only.
Senator Aldrich insisted that the
procedure adopted in this case was
similar to that which had been the
practice of the senate for fifty years in
dealing with tariff measures, and he
added that the same measure was
adopted in handling the Wilson tariff
bill, for which, he said, a substitute
was framed by a subcommittee COM
posed of Democrats.
The Democrats contended for repre-
sentation at hearings by the commit
tee and argued that the Republican
members, sitting as such, had no right
to authorize the expenditure of the pub
