Declare That It viii Not Save
Life of Child Thrown to
Tracks.

The Georgia Railway and Power
Company is preparing to equip all it's

vice president of the company, declares
will prevent a life being crushed out by
the wheels. The Pay-as- YOU Enter
cars already have been equipped with
this fender, and it will be attached to
the other cars whose construction will
permit
Critics who have examined this fen
der differ with Mr., Glenn in his opin-
ion and today pointed out certain de-
fects which they say would make the
fender useless in some instances
The picture shows the manner in
which the fender operates when SCOOP
ing a child from the track,
In the picture the tray Co, which has
been held in position by the supporting
rod OBJ, has been automatically re-
leased by the trigger ca, allowing the
tray Co to fall down upon the tracks
CD. which is nearly flush with the
ground.
When the fender is in its normal po-
stion, the tray CO. is raised until the
catch on the supporting rod OBJ can
be hooked into the loop to be observed
on the trigger ca directly beneath the
bell. This fender is set by the motor
man by means of a foot lever, but can
only be released by the trigger (A)
coming in contact with some object.
A child is scooped up by this tray
and sustained until the car can be
brought to a stop and the child re-
moved. The fender is then reset by
the motorman.
Mr.. Glenn said that his company had
examined all the tenders on the market,
and that this was considered the best
fender that could be obtained. He,
claimed that it was far superior To the
fender which projects in front of the
car and which is used in a great many
cities. According to his claim it is
impossible for child to be seriously
injured OF killed by car equipped with
this fender
Critics say his is not a fact. They
use as an instance in which the fender
would be useless child lying PROSTATE
upon the track They claim that the
trigger ca is raised eight to ten inches
from the ground, and that a siX-year-
old child, Of average weight and build,
only measures five inches in width at
the thickest part Of it's body. Basing
their contention on these measure
ments, they say that should child be
running across the tracks and fall from
stubbing its toe it would not be touch
ed by the trigger, and would conse-
quently be crushed beneath the wheels

physical encounter occurred on the

Speaker Pro Ten. Wood, each of whom
claimed the authority to preside over

scene of wild disorder followed among
the legislators who separated into fac

The Democrats and the Republicans
are SO evenly divided that tho control
of the legislature win rest on the result
of a contest against the seats of three
Republican members of the lower
house. If Speaker Pratt names the
committee to hear the contest it is
said that he will appoint three Repub-
leans and three Democrats with HIM
self the seventh man. That would en-
able him to retain control and cast the
deciding vote. Pratt was elected as a
Republican.
