HaIrplns Make Car Go.

Athol, Mass.-On an afternoon run of a local car several women sacri- feed their hairpins, at the peril of los ing their "rats," that the car might make the run.
 The car developed fuse trouble The motorman found that short pieces of metal were necessary to make fuse connections. Being a resourceful man, he opened the front door and asked for few hairpins.
 With smiles several women pulled hairpins from their tresses and, by plugging in one hairpin after another, he managed to keep the current on.

AGREEMENT TO END THE
 MCNAMARA CASE FOREVER.
Editor of San Francisco Bulletin Tes-
 tifies Regarding 1t.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 1.-The or ig1nal agreement between local repre- sentatives of labor and capital, by which the McNamara case was to be ended forever, was disclosed in detail by Fremont Older. editor of the San Francisco Bulletin, who took the stand today for the defense in the bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow.
 The introduction of this testimony was permitted by Judge Hutton on the showing of the defense that 1t would prove a lack of motive on the part of Darrow for the bribing of Juror George N. Lockwood
 The agreement, as outlined by Older, contemplated the pleading of guilty by James B. McNamara and the fixing of his punishment at life imprison- rnent For this the prosecution not cnly was to dismiss aA other cases growing out of the dynamiting of the Times building. including that of John J. McNamara, but to destroy all evil dence then in possession of the pros ecution-
 Another clause was that represen- tatives of local capital were to recog- nize the labor unions. The question had risen of the unwillingness of District Attorney Fredericks to con- sent to the dismissal of the charge against John J. McNamara and dt had been agreed by MT. Darrow that if the prosecution insisted upon it the witness said "J. J." also would be sac rificed rather than continue the trial.

TRYING TO FORGE VOTE
 ON WOOL TARIFF BILL
Democrats FiIihuster and Threaten
 to Renew it Today.

Washington, July 1.-The senate adjourned tonight with the prospect of renewal tomorrow of the democratic f1libuster to bring about an early vote on the wool tariff revision bill. Sen ator Shoot and other leaders of the regular republicans were prepared to make an agreement with the demo- crats to give them the opportunity to vote on the wool, sugar and excise tax billss but republican progressive forces had not as yet been brought into the agreement
 The progressive republicans demand the opportunity to offer amendments to the pending tariff bills. The demo- cratic forces, led by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, were ready to dis pense with practically all discussion of the measures but they were deter mined to continue the 6libuster until assured of the opportunity to vote.
 Senator Simmons will attempt at the opening of tomorrow's session to secure recognition to ask for a vote on the wool bill. In a similar attempt today he was defeated. If he is re- fused recognition tomorrow, it is ex- pected that the filibustering tactics will be continued against the big sun l dry civil appropriation bill

NO VACANCY EXISTS.
Governor Deneen Cannot Appoint Sue.
 cessor to Lorimer.

Springfield H., July 17.-In 8 long opinion submitted this evening to Governor Deneen by Attorney General Stead, the latter holds that there is no ve Cancy in the office of senator in the congress of the United States at this time from the state of Illinois within tho meaning of the second paragraph Of Section of Article 1 of the consti- tuition of the United States, and that the governor had not the power to ap- point a senator following the action of the United States senate on last Sat urday in declaring the election of Will liam Lorimer void.
 The attorney general cites the cases of Lee Mantle of Montana and Mat thew s. Quay of Pennsylvania and decides that the Lorimer case is analogous to those two. He says that as the senate has determined that Lorimer's election was invalid, it fol- lows that so far as the question of the power of the governor to appoint Is COT rcerned the situation is the same as if the legislature of 1909 had made no attempt to choose a senator to sue ceed Albert J. Hopkins, whose reeUlal term expired March 3, 1909 IT. other words, the legal effect of the deter imitation of the senate that the election of Lorimer was invalid Is that the legislature of 1909 failed to elect a sen. ator. If that be correct, the attorney ] general adds, the Lorimer case, so fal as the power of the governor to ap. point is concerned, is identical witt the cases of Mantle and Quay,

Engineer of Twentieth Century Linn
 ited Says He Makes That Speed on Straight Track-eets s1ss a Month.

New York. July 17.-B. A. Worth ington, president of the Chicago & Alton, finished his argument against the increase in pay of engineers on eastern railroads before the arbitration committee at Manhattan Beach today, and some of the men who operate To- comotives of the fastest trains in the country were called as witnesses.
 Engineers Give Testimony.
 Oscar s. Straus, chairman of the commission, and the other members of the board gave close attention to the testimony of the men who had been summoned by Warren s. Stone to tell of the nerve racking strain which they endured while running trains at 70 to 75 miles an hour, with .the lives of hundreds of passengers endangered if a signal is misread.
 Cross Examined by Railroad Officials.
 High officials of the railroads on which these men are employed cross examined them, and they told in minute detail the routine duties re- quired of an engineer from the moment he reports for duty at 8 roundhouse until he completes a round trip and turns in his report. The members of the commission also questioned the engineers in order to get at the actual hours of service and the monthly wages.
 Twentieth Century Limited Engineer.
 Dan Wood. engineer of the Twen- tieth Century Limited on the New York Central said he made the run between Syracuse and Albany, 14S miles, in< 1892 minutes. including slow | downs. He added that he made as high as 75 miles an hour on a straight track. In the 148 miles, he said, he passed 151 block signals, all of which he had to see.
 Draws $1s6 a Month.
 On cross examination by A. H 1 Smith, vice president of the New York Central, Wood said he was mol on the fast train through choice, but because he was assigned to it. He said he worked twelve hours every other day and was paid $186 per month i Asked by Chief Stone what danger ht most feared in making fast runs, ht said the greatest danger lay in th4 bucl5ling of freight train on an ad. | joining track.

New York July 17.-Whilei the police tonight continued to declare their con- fidence that there would be a speedy solution of the problem of who shot and killed Herman Rosenthal, the gambler early yesterday, and what motives were behind the murder, the net apparent result of the days ac- tivities on their part was the sppre- hension of "Bridgle' Webber, an infiu- ential East Side sporting man, and hls release on small bail after he had been questioned.
 Hoard Threats at Poker Party.
 Webber admitted that he was the man who had heard a suspicious con versation the day preceding the crime between members of poker party on a steamer excursion up Long Island sound during which threats were made to "get" Rosenthal if he persisted Tn continuing his revelations, of alleged partnership between the police and the rambling fraternity. After hearing Webber's story, the police started out on what they declared to be a new trail.
 Indifference of Police Criticised.
 The question of whether police ani- mostly over Rosenthal's revelations or gamblers vindictiveness from the same cause inspired the murder plot was apparently as far as ever from being answered tonight After Police Com missioner Waldo had forwarded to District Attorney Whitman a written request that the latter begin "a com plete investigation" of charges of part nership between gamblers and the. po- lice, and that members of the force were guilty of instigating the murder of Rosenthal, the district attorney is- sued a statement declaring that he had never charged that the police were responsible for Rosenthal's death. At the same time, he reiterated his crit icisms of the failure of the policemen who were near at hand when the crime was committed to obtain evidence that would have been invaluable in running down the perpetrators of the crime
