The throttle is supported by a cast
steel saddle, rfveted through its upper
fange to the boiler shell. The throttle
box is bolted to the lower hange OF
this saddle, a steam tight joint between
| the box and saddle being made by the
| usual form of joint rig. The throttle
IS controlled by a stem passing through
a packing gland, beneath the throttle
box. Steam enters the throttle through
the saddle, and passes to the channels
in the cylinder saddle casting, through
two steam pipes cast in one piece with
4 the throttle box.
/ To trace the flow of steam from the
dome to the cylinders: Steam leaves
the dome by an outside pipe, located
| above the boiler. Passing through a
| globe valve, it enters the superheater,
/ being led therefrom through the short
saddle beneath the superheater and so
on through the throttle, and short
steam pipes, finally entering the chan
nels in the cylinder saddle casting, and
passing to the valve chamber. All
pipes are properly Jagged.
Saturated steam may be led to the
superheater header, either b| an ex-
ternal pipe from the dome, or by the
usual inside dry pipe. From the head
er, superheated steam is led to the
| throttle by two steam pipes, similar to
the common form of smoke box steam
pipes.
Many Desirable Features.
The external throttle is readily ac-
ceSsible at all times for inspection and
repairs. This feature, together with
the outside location of steam pipes and
connections, introduces a desirable in
novation in locomotive practice. 1t
places the joints outside of the boiler
shell where steam leaks may be quick
ly detected and where repairs may be
made conveniently. The joints are re-
moved from the intense heat of the
smoke box that tends to cause leaks,
and in the event of a leak the steam
ing qualities of the locomotive are not
affected. With steam pipes inside of
the smoke box, leaks interfere with the
Steaming by destroying the vacuum
The accessibility of the throttle pro-
vides many advantages. While the
boiler is under steam pressure the
globe valve near the dome may be
closed, thus shutting off steam from
Repairs to these may then be made
without the long delay incident to
blowing off steam, cooling boiler, re-
moving dome cap, etc.
Temporary Repairs Possible.
Should the throttle become discon-
slble to get at it promptly. Temporary
repairs my be made at once and the
engine proceed with its train. In case
Of such an accident with the usual
form of throttle it would be necessary
to kill the engine.
There is no stuffing box, gland or
packing for throttle rod in cab.
With the external throttle super
heaters are always charged with dry
steam ready for delivery direct to cyl
inders. This prevents loss of time for
superheaters to fill before delivery to
cylinders. The engine is, therefore,
quicker in starting.
Maintaining steam continually in the
superheater provides still further ad-
vantage IN protecting the superheater
and Joints from the effect of hot
gases. With steam always in the su-
perheater the metal parts will not be
burned so rapidly.
Should the engine slip, the more

BOMB FOR TAFT
Hutchinson Officer Thinks Ex-
ecutiVe Had Close Call.
Sheriff Informed Attempt Was
to Be Made.
FEARED TO USE IT
PlOtters Evidently Lost Nerve
When President Came.
Internal Machine Found Near
Parade Starting Point.

Hutchinson, Kan, Sept. S0-What
Chief of Detectives G. NJ Duckworth
believes to be evidence that there was
a well laid plot for the assassination of
President Taft, while he was a guest
here last tuesday. has just been dis
covered.
Back of a small eating house, not
80 feet from the point of the parade,
headed by the nations chief executive,
started, Tuesday forenoon, was dis
covered a bomb of deadly nature,
which Chief Duckworth believes ha%
been abandoned by the party or par
ties who are supposed to have been
Sent on assassinating the nations
head.
The bomb, which was minutely ex-
amined by Detective Duckworth. was
found to contain a stick of dynamite
eight inches long, and three ounces of
nitroglycerin- It was admirably ar
ranged, with a fuse more than foot
long, which, it is supposed, was to have
been timed, when lighted, to be cast
at the presidents automobile. The
whole affair was wrapped in a bundle
of brown paper. The fuse was tested
at police headquarters and found to
be in perfe It working condition.
There is no doubt in my mind,
said Chief of Detectives Duckworth,
''but that the Internal machine was ar
ranged for President Taft. There is
absolutely no reason for the presence
of a missile of such deadly contents in
this city, other than for the purpose
of great destruction, which must have
been aimed against the president"
Discovered by a Woman.
When Mrs. Sprung, owner of the
restaurant in question. went to the
back door and looked down in box
that was sitting to one side, she noticed
a small, queer looking object. She
looked closed and decided that every
thing was not right and so telephoned
the police station
1t is the opinion of the local police
that the owner of the bomb did not
get a good opening in which to use
the missile, and so ditched it in the
box. There is no means of determin-
ing how long the little brown mes
senger of death laid in the box back
of the restaurant, but it is thought
that it had been there since Tuesday
when the parade took place.
Detective DuckwOrth thought at
first of leaving the bomb in its hiding
place, but decided that the owner had
given up hope of getting it, and had
left town, for it was in plain sight. The
bomb was thrown into the sewer.
A few days prior to the arrival of
the president, Sheriff Koon Beck re-
ceived warning that an attempt would
be made on the presidents life This
tip caused a redoubling of the ef-'
forts of the sheriffs office, and every
point of the city was closely watched
Tt now is believed that the persist
ent vigilance of the officers probably
sassin, who, it is believed, abandoned
his purpose when he discovered that
he could not operate with safety dur
ing the parade.

Description by M. H. Hatg.

The Buck External Throttle has
been devised to overcome the disad-
vantages common to the usual ar
rangement of throttle having connec-
tions within the boiler shell. The
throttle valve is the same as with the
throttle located in the dome and the
throttle lever is equally convenient to
the engineer. The throttle box is
placed outside of the boiler and is To-
Gated as near the cylinders as prac-
tical construction will permit.
This throttle was designed primarily
for use with locomotives equipped with
superheaters. However, it is equally
applicable to locomotives using satur-
ated steam, and is suitable for the de-
signs of superb eaters arranged for
either high or low degree of superheat.
The throttle is secured beneath the
superheater on the outside of the boil
er shell. Communication with the
superheater is by means Of hole
through the shell. Above the super
heater is a connection to a large globe
valve, and this, in turn, is connected to
the dome by an outside pipe. Short
steam pipes lead from the throttle to
the cylinder saddle casting. The throt-
tie is operated by a bell crank con-
nected with a reach rod leading to the
cab.

WIFE MUST NOT CALL.
Judge Restraints Her from TeIephoning
Her Husband.

Chicago, September 30.-Mrs. AIvina
Brasch Burns Mueller was ordered to
refrain from calling her husband,
Juan Mueller, on the telephone or dis
turDlng him in any way at the hotel
OF which he is steward, in a restrain
ing order entered by Judge Theodore
Brentano in the superior court yester-
day.
Mueller alleged that the telephone
calls OF his wife were so frequent that
they 1nterfered with his duties eff
greeting guests and supervising the
work of his subordinates. His wife
refused to cease telephoning, so Muel-
Ter obtained the restraining order.
Mueller also filed suit for divorce. He
aneged his wife possesses a vixenish
temper and a quarrelsome nature Ac-
cording to the bill, Mrs. Mueller has
struck him three times with her fist
since last April
The couple separated Monday fol-
lowing a scene at the hotel, when Mrs.
Mueller visited her husband. The bill
also states that Mrs. Mueller has tried
several times to throw vftrtol in her
husbands face, and has boasted she
had revolver with which to kill him.

DENY KIMNfEh Is BROTHER.
Sister Declares Prisoner Fails to Re-
call Incidents of Early Life.


Niles, Mich, Sept. 3O.-Three hours
of conference and cross questioning
INDUCED in by the man claiming to be
George A. Kimme1, Mrs. Estella KIM
mel, mother of the real Kimmel, and
her daughter Mrs. Edna Bonsett, re-
suited in the utter failure of the man
of mystery to convince either woman
that he is their son and brother. Both
women, believing they cannot be con-
vinced that the man is Kimmel, de-
parted for Chicago. They appear con-
fident that the real George A. Kimmel
is dead.
At the conference incidents which
the women claimed Kimmel would re-
member could not be recalled by the
''man of mystery Happenings which
he said Mrs. Kimmel, at least, should
recall, never occurred in the early life
of her son, so far as she knew, said
Mrs. Kimmel.
The only exciting incident of the
conference was the denunciation by
'sKimmeT' of Charles A Johnson, a
Niles banker and uncle of George A
Kimmel. Johnson was charged with
having concocted a plot to foil the ef-
forts of the mysterious claimant to
prove his statements.
In addition to the principals and ste
nographers, the only people present at
the conference were Harry A. Fox,
KimmePs best friend, and d. S. Cof
fern, a Niles banker. The latter stood
neutral.
''Kimmel' has not said whether he
will make a further effort to prove his
claims.

GIRL HAS SOLDIER HUSBAND.
Wedding Kept Secret Until His Regi-

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 30
When W. R. McCarnahan of Kansas
City, Kan, came home and discovered
that his 17-year-old daughter Eva had
not been there since she left for school
in the morning he grew suspicious. In
quiries were made and he learned
from one of the neighbor girls that she
had come to Leavenworth to join her
husband, Ralph Speak, of the Thir-
teenth infantry, and that she intended
to go with him to the Philippines. Mr..
McCarnahan did not know until then
that his daughter was married.
When the girl married Speak secret
ly in Kansas City, Kan, on August 81,
she told him. she says, that she was
18 years old and he did not know until
recently that she was under age.
She first met the soldier at Fort
Leavenworth when she came to the
fort on an excursion trip in May. They
held clandeStine meetings from then
until yesterday. Only her grandmoth-
er and a sister knew of her marriage,
she says.

DIPS GET QUNCY's ROLL.
Senator From Saline Removes Coat,
Making Operation Easier.

Salina, kan, Sept. 5O.-Pickpockets
and thieves in a large crowd of people
are no respectors of persons and that
is possibly how Senator Fred H. Quin-
cy of this city lost his pocketbook in
Topeka. The pocketbook contained
$35 in money and a number of other
articles which would easily furnish the
identity of the pocketbook- Among
the contents of the book were the SEN
ater's Elk card, Masonic cards of diff
ferent bodies and a number of small
articles of no particular value to any
one but Senator Quincy.
Mr.. Quincy did not detect the loss
until he was on the train coming to
Sa1ina. When at the depot waiting for
the train, the senator removed his
coat and threw it over his arm. His
pocketbook was in one of his hip pock-
cts and without the covering of his
coat tail was exposed to the light fin
gered gentry. When the loss was dis
covered several of the senator's friends
offered to lend him money enough to
get home on, but he happened to have
some silver change in his pocket which
proved sufficient.

COMES TO WED KANsAN.
New York Woman and Children En-
route to Wichita.

Huntington, N. Y, Sept. 3o.-Dis-
tance is no bar to true love in the case
of Mrs. Carrie E. Leach, who has just
left her home here for Wichita, Kan,
where she is to marry a man whom
she has never seen.
The husband of Mrs. Leach died a
few months ago, leaving her in COM
Portable circumstances, with two chill
dren, a boy and girl. After the death
of her husband, Mrs. Leach, who is g 5
years old and good looking, decided to
make another matrimonial venture.
Her attention was called to the eff
cacy of the matrimonial bureau. After
several trials she got into correspon-
dence with Frank Goodwin, a prosper
Gus farmer Of Wichita, Kan. That was
less than two months ago.
When it became impossible for the
prospective bridegroom to come to
New York, owing to it being harvest
time, she agreed to go to Wichita If
she finds everything as she expects
she will marry him.
Wichita, Kan, Sept. 30.-Frank I.
Goodwin is a farmer living eight miles
west of here.

Mr. Buck is what will be called the
external Throttle It is being made
in the Topeka shops and has been ap-
piled successfully to a number OF santa
F-e locomotives. It is attracting atten-
ton all over the country
Tn the usual locomotive practice the

part of the throttle that is not unoer-

ger. The throttle controts tne 5,nf3 tlp" the oa

To overcome these various olIIcul.isS
and provide a practical and accesslo!e

known as the Buck External Throttle
This throttle is located outside OF tne
boiler. very close to the cylinders II
not only overcomes the undeslrAple
features of the old form of throttle put
by virtue of the throttle being closer
to the cylinders the control of the To-
comotive by the engineer is more
delicate.
So FAR the use of this Buck external
throttle has been in connection with
Iocon olives using superheaters- It has
many peculiar advantages in use on q
stperheated engine. With one external
throttle the superheater is always
charged with live steam-a condiIlOn
which not only tends to protect tne
superheater from excessive heat but
makes the locomotive more active IN
starting.
In case of an accident on the ROAD
which ordinarily would cause the loco
motive to ''go dead" and make it nee
essary to provide another engine to
handle the train, with the external
throttle emergency repairs could be
made and the same engine could be
used to haul the train to the terminal
This not only saves time for the pas
sengers on the train but provides econ
omy for the railway company.
The new arrangement also makes 1t
easier and quicker for the inspectors

sion to inspect the locomotives. 1t con-
forms more readily to the laws made
bv the United States government.
