ate program to-day and the time was oc-
cupied chiefly by friends Of the Senate

The last Of the President. however, it ap-
7eared certain majority of the Senate
would turn a complete and graceful
sonersault and surrender the principles
hey had incorporated I'm the Senate bill.
Test votes on amendments indicated
that Taft had won over members enough
to insure the adoption Of the House bin.
With its acceptance practically assured
the prospects we're that it would be given
a large majority A number Of Senators
who were bitterly opposed to the House
oil i9timated they would vote for It
rather than go on record as being op-
posed to the Postal Savings Bank sys-
tenn. 1t was also considered better TO
pass an Objectionable bill than none az
all. amendment of an existing law be-
ing much easier than the passage Of a
new law

FIND THEIR BOY
HURT, IN HOSPITAL
MIR. and Mrs. AIriCh Grief
Stricken at Sight Of Un-

YOUTH HURT WHlLE
WALKING ON RAILROAD

Seeking for their son for several
hours last night the anguish Of the
parents of Harold Alrichs. aged 10
years. of NO. 906 West Ninth street,
can be imagined when later they
found the lad in the Delaware Hospi-
tai, unconscious and believed to be
fatally injured.
The lad was struck by q freight
train on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road near the high bridge which
crosses the Brandywine creek between
/ ana o'clock yesterday afternoon.
he sustained terrible injuries about
the head and is suffering with con-
cussion Of the brain He had not re-
gained consciousness at noon today
and it was reported at the hospital
that his condition remains unchanged.
Harold was with VisWeld Hodges a
boy, of about his own age and who
lives near him. when he was struck
by the train. The lads had left their
homes to take a walk and when they
reached the site where the new q
q @. bridge is being erected they
started to walk down the tracks to-
ward the structure. They stepped
from one track TO avoid an approach
ing train when TO their consterna ton
uey saw another rushing down upon
them. Both boys were on small
bridge at the time and they started
to run Hodges reached solid ground
and turning shouted TO Alrich TO hurry
The latter became excited and stumb-
led aud fell three times The last
time he fell he was of the trestle but
the train was upon him and the cy-
.r D.. ri
engineer of the train stopped his en-
gine within three car lengths of
where the boy was struck When
picked up IL was seen that the boy
was perhaps fatally injured his head
being crushed and his body cut and
bruised
The parents OF Alrichs became wor-
ried when their boy did not come
home for supper and waited sometime
for him. Frank Davis. a neighbor
learned that Hodges had been with
Alrichs but this boy would say little
about the affair except that his com
panion had been hurt near the new
r. & 0. bridge Going there Davis
learned from the tmekeeper on thai
work that boy had been injured there
and on getting a description Of the
lads clothing learned that the injured
boy was Alrichs
Mr.. and Mrs. Alrich were notified
and upon Fastening to the hosplta
found their child unconscious.
They remained at the hospital fol
sometime hoping that Harold might
regain consciousness. Their grief was
pitiful.
At first it was thought that tn,
injured BOY was Charles DoughertS
