Erie Engines Whistle Safety.

The Erie railroad has equipped
about 100 of its locomotives, running
in suburban passenger service at the
New York end Of the road, with Pinch
single-bell chime whistles, in addition
to the ordinary whistle, and has in
structed the enginemen to use this
smaller and less noisy whistle on all
occasions except where the louder n
is required as a measure of safety.
All of the engines of the New York
suburban service, about It's, will soon
be equipped. The whistle valve is
controlled by a flexible wire which
extends from the front to the back Of
the cab, within easy reach Of the en-
gineman and in close proximity to the
pull which a%ctuates the larger whistle
and which Is of a different form.
Some Of these smaller whistles have
been in use for several months, and
officers of the road find them salts

Everyone has been on a passenger

and a good many people have had
hard bumps on account OF the shock.
Compared with the shocks this new
~dynamometer car will receive during
the tests to be made with it the little
bumps when an engine is coupled to
a train are about the same as a blow
from a blade of grass compared with
a kick in the face by a Missouri mule.
This new car will be hooked to a
train of one hundred cars and one OF
the big Mallet locomotives will be
bumped into 1t as top speed. A small
locomotive will be hooked on 1t and
1t will hit the big Mallet just as hard

on collision between two trains. That

Washington, Feb. 20.-The nomina-
ton OF Mahlon Pitney, chancellor OF
the state of New Jersey to be an assc-

preme court, was sent to the senate
by President Taft.
Mr.. Taft does not expect any oppo-
sition to the nomination in the senate.
Decisions Cost Hook Post.
Chancellor Pitney long has been a
prominent figure in New Jersey.
In casting about for a successor to
Justice Harlan, Mr.. Taft first looked
beyond the Mississippi river. At one
time it seemed certain he would name
Judge William C. Hook of the United
States circuit court, and again it was
the department of commerce and labor,
would be the presidents choice.
There was a protest against Judge
Hook, because Of his decisions in two
Oklahoma cases, one involving the 2
cent fare law and the other the Jim
Grow" car law. The latter case in
which Hook decided in favor of the
railroads and against the contention of
the negroes affected, is said to have
been the final cause of the presidents
turning from the Kansas jurist.
Labor organizations protested
against Secretary Nagel on the ground
that he had been too lenient in the
enforcement of the immigration laws,

MADE FIRST RAILROAD TRIP

Plotting Locomotive on Initial
Western Journey.

If you should have access to copies
of the early files OF the Philadelphia
newspapers Of to copies Of the Car
bondale (Pa.) Transcript. or Port
Jarvis Union, published in January,
1855. you would be able to read the
personal account OF the engineer who
ran the first locomotive in the Uni
ted States. This was none other than
Maj. Horatio Allen, then the engineer
Of the New York and Erie railroad,
and the following extract is from q
speech he made describing this trip.
When was it? Who was it? And
who awakened its energies n d.

year 1928, on the banks Of the Lacka-
waxen at the commencement OF the
railroad connecting the canal OF the
Delaware & Hudson Canal company
dresses you was the only person on
that locomotive. The circumstances
which led to my being alone on the
engine were these: The road had
been built in the summer; the struc-
ture was of hemlock timber and rails
of large dimension notched on caps
placed far apart. The timber had
cracked and warped from exposure to
the sun. After about three hundred
feet of straight line the road crossed
the Lackawaxen creek on trestle
work about 80 feet high with a curve
of $50 to 400 feet radius.
The impression was very general
that this iron monster would either
break down the road or would leave
the track at the curve and plunge in
to the creek. My reply to such ap-
~prehensions was that 1t a too late
to consider the probability OF such
occurrences. There was no other
