He suggests that job hunters shall communicate immediately with Democratic members of Congress con corning the places.
 T feel that I am performing a great service for my colleagues in printing this list" said MT. Britten. grinning expansively. My colleagues will now be relieved of much embarrassment, because they will not be compelled to tell their constituents that they, the members are uninformed as to posi- tions which are to be filed"
 MT. Britten has mailed a great num- Der of that issue of The Congressional Record, and he advises his constitu- ents to ''pick out their jobs'' and get in touch immediately with some Dem ocratic member from Illinois" MT.

lord senators had expressed fear that in the windup of business this piece of legislation would be killed owing to railroad influences, they claiming that as it was directly aimed at the smoke nuisance caused by locomotives there was every reason to believe that the continued delay in getting it up for passage came from that Source.

 Unpaid.
 Senator Isbel, however. won out on another smoke" bill for the house agreed to adopt in concurrence the Isbeu bill prohibiting smoking or car rying of lighted cigars, cigarettes or pipes into closed trolley cars.
 The senate adopted the Isbeu yer sion of the bill to prevent evasion of fares on trolley cars and which reads as follows: Tt shall be deemed a fraudulent attempt to evade pay ment of fare as prohibited Gin the statutes) for any passenger to re- main upon passenger car of a street railway company with his lawful fare unpaid, while having a coin or bill in lawful money, of lesser denomina- ton than five dollars, but sufficient in amount to pay his fare which coin or bill he Omits to tender for the pur- pose of such payment, after he has been notified that the owner, agent or person in authority is at the time unable to change a coin or bill of five dollars for the purpose of receiv- ing such payment of fare therefrom.''

AVIATOR AND PASSENGER
 HAVE A NARROW ESCAPE
Gasoline Tank Exploded Just as They
 Left the Machine.

Salisbury, England, May 26.-Vol- blaming from a height of 200 feet in a blazing bipIane, the British aviator, COlyns Pizey, and a passenger. H. Fellows. reached the ground in safety this evening and stepped from the machine just as an explosion of the gasoline tank completely wrecked it.
 The aeroplane was in easy flight over the outskirts of the town, when sud- denly the carburetor took fire. Break ing the inlet valve, the aviator shut off the gasoline and started a steep VOlplane.
 The rush of air famed the flames and to those who witnessed the incl dent it seemed as though the men in the machine had but a slender chance for their lives. Tongues of fire swept under the passenger seat and Fellows drew himself up and clung to the stays while the aeroplane drove down its swift descent.
 PiZey held the wheel in firm grasp although the flames scorched his hands and succeeded in making a splendid landing. Just as the men sprang from the machine the gas tank blew up, but they practically escaped all injury.

PROPOSES DRASTIC
 CURRENCY REFORM
Would Allow Corporations and Indi- viduals to Issue Currency Like Banks.

Meriden, Conn, May 26-William w. Wheeler, a local manufacturer and one of the original members of the old Greenback party, has written an open letter to President Woodrow Wilson advocating what he calls "di- rect currency" as a, remedy for the present unsatisfactory currency con- ditions. He proposes that all corpor- ations and individuals provided they deposit the proper security and con- form to the same rules and regula- tions imposed upon national banks. be allowed to issue national currency. If this prerogatiVe was extended to cor porations and individuals MT. Wheeler states that in times of panic and money shortage there would be no widespread and continued panics and depressions in business and shrink
 age below the normal of real price values for corporations could ignore the banker and pledge direct with gov ernment securities which would en- able them to issue the national cur rency they needed and escape the con- trol of the banker. The cry for elas- tic currency is met Mir. Wheeler states with his plan. The tax paid to the government for the use of the gov ernment indorsement on direct cur Tency would become a vast internal revenue to the government.
