THRILLING
Of Two Little
Children 10 1 Runaway

An exciting runaway occurred Tues.
day at the noon hour in which two
small children were carried in q We
hicle from the Third Ward scool build
ing for nearly q half mile out East
Chestnut street.
Mrs. Henry Fairchid had taken the
horse and buggy Of Mrs. F. L. Fair.
child and had gone to the school build
ing to bring home her little daughter.
Harriet. The little girl had climbed in.
TO the buggy and was accompanied by
Carson Young, son of, County Auditor
Irwin Young. As Mrs. Fairchild was
about to get into the buggy the horse
began to kick and plunge and started
out the street. Mrs. Fairchild grasped
the lines, which had been placed
around the dash, and undertook to
stop the horse, but her efforts were
without avail. She was thrown to the
ground and wheel passed over her
and the lines were jerked from her
hands. The horse being without re-
straint, started at rapid gait out the
street. The little children became
frightened and commenced to scream,
which had the effect Of causing the
horse to increase its speed. The chill.
dren grasped the lines and pulled on
them vigorously and succeeded in
turning the animal onto the sidewalk
in front of the residence of Mr.. Elmer
e. Hall, No. 613 East Chestnut street
where the buggy was upturned and
the children thrown out. Fortunately
each escaped without any injury, but
It was a thrilling experience for them

PRIMARY BILL In
THE HOUSE TO-DAY
District May Hold Primaries and
Gust Present Delsgatss-JOhn-
son Criticises Measure.

In order TO make possible the first
primary in Washington before the two
conventions are held, Representative Lo-
beck yesterday introduced as a supple
mental report to the Norris primary bill
e provision forsholding the ballot in the
District on the last Tuesday in May in
stead OF the second Tuesday in April.
Debate on the primary bill will probably
begin on the House floor to-day.
With the Introduction of this change
the present choice OF delegates for both
parties may be invalidated. According to
the terms OF the bill both Democratic
and Republican elections would be de-
clared void and the candidates chosen
would be compelled to enter the race
again. This means that the Bieber-
Wilder ticket, which was defeated in the
Republican primary while ostensibly sup
porting the Roosevelt candidacy, will
have another opportunity TO enter the
fight.
Chairman Ben johnson, Of the District
Committee, yesterday protested against
that paragraph OF the Norris bill giving
to the judges Of election the right TO fine
persons who become disorderIy at the
polls. Mr.. Johnson declared that this
put the ward voter at the mercy Of the
ward heller official, and meant that
the later could fine at his own pleasure
'on snap judgment" II is probably at the
session to-day that Mr.. johnson will make
formal protest against this feature Of the
bill.
