Mimi. December Is, 1911. while eight
passengers were killed In steel cars,
there Is little question the loss Of life
had there been wooden cars would
have been much more severe.
To Keep Hammering.
Under such circumstances. the COM
mission intends to keep hammering on
the need for steel equipment, and such
data as this here given will greatly
tend to influence Congress to insist on
all-steel equipment
The report of the commission on the
Stamford wreck on the New Haven
showed that the New Haven has been
singufarly backward about using all
steel equipment and Vice President
Horn even said he was doubtful Of the
desirability OF steel cars compared with
wooden cars.
Asks Investigation.
The House Rules Committee has
before IL today a resolution intro
duced by Congressman Britten asking
an investigation of the latest wreck
on the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad and. the causes OF
the various other accidents.
The Britten resolution directs an
inquiry by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and as the commission
has already taken notice of the wreck
of yesterday IL is probable no action
will be taken by the Rules Committee.
Congressman Britten's resolution,
however, directs attention to the

the part Of the traffic managers and
other officials of the railroad company
or that the equipment on this road is
obsolete, unsafe and inadequate, or that
the desire for dividends Is paramount to
the proper protection OF the travelling
public.

II hereby Is, directed to make thorough
Investigation of the causes OF the acci-
dents on the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, and to report its find

Wants Quick Action.
Stung to action by the Wallingford
wreck disaster. Congressman Talcott Of
New York stated today that he would
Immediately ask the House to pass, as
an urgent emergency measure, mis- bill to
force railroads to use nothing but steel
cars for passenger traffic.
The next move | intend to take is
to seek a favorable report on my bill
from the House Interstate Commerce
Committee" said Talcott today. Il
think this will be given, as my bill has
been Endorsed unanimously by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. Then
propose to ask the Democratic caucus
to permit consideration of the bill dur
Ing the present session of Congress as
an emergency measure
The bill cannot come up under the
rules unless the caucus declares II is
an emergency / think the Walling-
ford and other recent disastrous
wrecks proves the emergency char
acter of this legislation"
Taleott stated today that he believed
there would be little opposition to
favorable report upon the bill in the
Interstate Commerce Committee, ex-
cept from the railroads.
Former Senator Faulkner of West
Virginia, attorney for a dozen rail-
roads, butterfly opposed my bill at the
hearings last February He said II
might force some small roads into
bankruptcy" said Talcott.
That hearings on his bill were prac-
tically completed last winter was as
serted by Talcott. He said only the
formal action Of the committee was nec-

To Consider Costs.
We will investigate the whole
question of comparative cost of steel
and wooden cars, their respective lives

country's manufacturers to turn them

that the cost of 4 steel car is about
onc-third more than of wooden car

Neither do we know how long cars
of each type will last. or which is
cheaper in the long run. Ny under

Mr.. McChord is at the head of the

He has been taking keen interest in
New Haven affairs for long time,
and one of his moves today was to in
sist that the commission be represented
at all hearings of the coroner or the
railroads own inquiries into the wreck

This move was made because the
statement had come from New Haven
that the coroner would hold his inquest
In secret. Mr.. McChord promptly wired

ground, at New Haven, to insist on
having a representative at all hearings

| International Falls, April 5.-John

who escaped from the county authori-
ties last week, was captured between
Ericsburg and Rainier Saturday. Nc
Donald and Barnhart, the other fugi-
tive, together with another man, was
walking on the railroad toward Erics-
burg when two deputies riding on a
freight passed them.
After. going some distance by the
trio the deputies jumped from the
train and proceeded back toward Ra-
nier, when the fugitives saw them
coming they took to the brush being
routed from there they returned to
the railroad and separated, one 60
ing toward Ericsburg, one to the
| brush across the track and the other
| who proved to be Barnhart, toward
Rainier. Each deputy gave chase to
a man and each was successful in
making capture. In the meantime
a freight train passed on the way to.
ward Rainier and the man Barnhart
being an ex-railroad man had no diff.

AUTO DRIVERS WARNED CLEANING up BEMIDJI
Chief of Police Lane Says That the
State Law for Driving in the
City Will Be Enforced.
RECKLEssNEss TO BE STOPPED

Chief of Police Lane has issued a
warning to all owners and drivers of
automobiles that the state law mus1
be observed and that recklessness and
fast driving will not be tolerated in
the city. The city has no ordinance
on the subject as the state law covers
cities of this class. :. -. ....
After a conference this morning
between Chief Lane and G. w. Jewett,
president of the Auto club, Mr.. Jew
EFT announced that Sunday morning
he will furnish two experienced driv-
,ers with autos to lead a parade in
which speed will be within the law
and corners will be turned properly.
Chief Lane said yesterday that too
many auto drivers have been speed
ing on the city pavements and that
several serious accidents have been
narrowly averted. -

State Aid For Fairs.

The board of control bill carries
the appropriations for all state in
situations except the state university
and normal schools. 1t is larger by
about 100000 a year than two years
ago, owing to the increases necessary
for the larger population Of the In
stitutions, especially the overcrowded
lisanezhospitals.. - H. - ~ rs
Several appropriation bill already
have passed which must be accounted
for in making up the budget. These
include 100000 for legislative ex-
penses, 100000 for the state high
wa ycommission, $25O,OO0 for state
aid to county fairs, 100000 state aid
for county tuberculosis hospitals and
$4,000 for fire breaks in Northern
Minnesota. Other smaller appropria-
lions have passed and others are in a
fair way to pass, and those mentioned
involve increases in the state ex-
pense, though the money goes out to
the rural districts.
