beaten back with terrible losses. He
was one Of the leaders in the recent

BUILDINGS BILL PASSED,

TER HOT FIGHT.
Vote on Measure 1SI to 1G, Its On
ponents Failing to Muster Strength
Needed for Roll Call.

Washington, Feb 17.-After acri-
monious debate the house today pass
ed the public buildings bill, authoriz-
ing the erection of $25, 1000 900 worth
of public structures throughout the
country. The vote on the bill was
1S4 TO 46 and the opponents Of the
measure were unable to muster
enough votes to secure roll call to
insure a record vote.
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York. chairman OF the house appro-
priations committee, and Representa-
tive Hardwick of Georgia vigorously
attacked the Democratic side for their
support OF the bill
They are sham economists who
have been talking economy and advo-
eating public buildings bills which
fasten obligations upon the treasury"
declared Mr.. Fitzgerald. II denounce
as indefensibie this method of passing
public bill. 1t ties together every
body with an item in it and makes it
impossible to give close scrutiny and
attention to the bill 1 understand
this bill has been so scientifically pre-
pared that it can not be defeated"
Representative Hardwick was Bit
ter in his denunciation of the bill.
Il believe" he declared, honestly
and candidly that this is the worst
bill of its kind ever reported to an
American house of representatives l
do not think that in the palmiest days
Of Cannonism as rotten proposition
ever came to this house.
There are things in this bill no
one can defend. l submit to you that
each of you in your heart Of hearts
knows that this bill is not right, that
instead of being in the interest of the
public service and Of the people of
the United States it is in the interest
of the political fortunes of individ-
uals on both sides of the house"
Representatives Burnett, Clark Of
Florida and Austin of Tennessee de-
Tended the bill, declaring it was
framed on an economical basis, after
two years when no public buildings
bills were passed.

FELL ON CONDUCTOR.

Unusual Way.

Camden, Feb. 17.-Ben Taylor the
colored flagman Of the Northwestern
Railway of South Carolina who was
injured by fall from a box car, and
Conductor Bowen, who was struck by
Taylor when he fell Saturday morn
ing, are getting along as could well
be expected.
Taylor had three ribs broken and
many bruises. Mr.. Bowen was Sc
verely bruised, especially in the neck.
The Northwestern freight train was
leaving Camden about o'clock in
the morning, and when in the yards
at the old Southern depot Taylor fell
from the top Of the car, due to slip
ping on the ice which covered the
car. Conductor Bowen happened to
be running along the side Of the car
from which Taylor fell, and was
struck by Taylor. The fact that Tay-
lor fell on Mr.. Bowen no debut saved
his life, as his body would have
struck the crossties on the ground
Both of the injured are laid up. Mr..
Bowen is expected to be out againt in
IA few days.
Capt. Bowen was for several
months a resident of this city and
has many friends and acquaintance
here who will regret to hear that he
has been injured. Capt. Bowen NOV

INVENTOR SHOWS A
DEADLY DEVICE
J Which Carries Electric Current Through
Space Without Wires

Salt Lake City, Utah, July %,
LIN the present of electrical ex-
perts, federal officials and detec-
tives here today was demonstra-
ted what was declared to be per-
haps the most remarkable death
dealing machine invented in re-
cent years.
The invention is the work of
w. L. Cummings, % years old,
who confessed to federal and mu-
nicipal officers when he was ar
rested that he had threatened to
use it to destroy Miss Dorothy
Bamberger, a wealthy society
girl, unless she gave him 81, 900.
After the demonstration govern
ment officials took possession of
the invention.
What is held to be of more i'm
portance, the invention, it is
said, can be turned to the saving
Of life by preventing train or
ship collisions. Electricians took
the machine into a steel and con.
crete vault 70 an office building.
Another part of the contri-
vance, on which was mounted a
ball and an incandescent globe,
was placed in a closed room
across the hall. Then the cleo.
trio current of the machine was
turned on: On the unattached
box in-the other room the bell
rang aud the light glowed
brightly.
In his acknowledged letter to
Miss Bamberger, Cummings sent
diagram of his invention, say
| ing he W ould place suit case OF
nitroglycerin in her room and
explode 1t from a distance. The
demonstration today, say the
electrical experts, proves that he
could have accomplished this,
In speaking of his invention as
he sat in his cell, Cummings said
attachment could be installed in
locomotive cabs where it would
give positive signal if a train
ran past a closed block signal.
In war, he said, mines could be
exploded without wire attach
ment.
The prisoner told the police
that he had been induced to try
to blackmail Miss Berger by two
other men, who, he believed,
were members of the New York
blackmailing gang.
