BRAKES FAILED TO
WORK ON DEATH
RUN TEST
Locomotive Ran Beyond Safety
Mark in Trial at Stamford
TRIAL ENDS IN BREAKDOWN
Mechanism Crippled so That Engine
Ran Away When UncoupIed
from Its Train.

Stamford, June 17.-After success
fully meeting six preliminary tests,
the air brakes on the big Pacific
type engine No. 1888 Of the Boston
express on the New Haven Road
failed totally to hold the wheels this
afternoon in reproduction Of the
stopping conditions of the fatal run
into the yards here last Thursday af-
ternoon. The engine, after running
with brakes set for 1926 feet, car
ried the same cars to which 1t was
attached on the day of the wreck for
distance 375 feet further than the
spot where the wooden Pullman
chair car Skylark had stood when
the same engine bored through 1t
killing six passengers.
At the end of the day the brakes
broke down completely, permitting
the locomotive to run away from its
cars after being uncoupled from
them. The brakes, when applied in
an effort to stop the runaway engine,
had no force, and it was found that
a pin had dropped out of one of the
brake levers. The engine, now a
cripple, was towed into the Stamford
roundhouse, where a force of repair.
men was put to work to get it into
shape to go back to New Haven I'M
der its own steam.
For the purposes of the post-mor-
tenn test. the engine in which Chas.
]. Doubherty had drilled through
the Skylark was attached to the
same cars that had formed the sec
ond section of the Boston express
when the rear-end collision occurred
in the Stamford yards. The train
crews were the same, except that an
experienced engineer and another fire
man had charge of the engine cab,
and the big locomotive, already
known as the death engine" hat

into running condition.
That repairing, however, had been
done under the direction of Inspect
ors for the Interstate Commerce

ALPINE CURLING.
Almost Surgical Skill Used on the loo
to Make II Perfect.

to Make II Perfect.
Scotch players regard the conditions
Of Alpine curling as somewhat too lux.
urious. The ice is almost too perfect,
and the tactics that proved successful
on the rough ice Of Scottish pond
have to be abandoned In favor of more
subtle methods.
The ordinary visitor to the Alps has
very little idea OF the science and work
which are necessary to insure good
rink, and the Scotch curler who has
been accustomed to the rough ice form
ed by few nights frost Is somewhat
startled when he sees an army OF ice
men working through the night A
rink in the Alps is a costly business.
The ground is carefully leveled in The
spring. and after the first fall of snow
a squad OF icemen tramp the snow
down as evenly as possible. The flood.
ing Is done in series of elaborate
stages, which can be carried out only
when the sun Is shining.
The secret Of good ice is to go slowly.
This was proved by n clever expert.
ment. The discovery Of this was due
to Rudolph Bauman, perhaps the best
iceman in the Alps. He filled two
wooden tubs with water, and the first
froze hard in a night. The Second was
allowed to fill gradually, drop by drop.
throughout a fortnight The two blocks
OF fee were then put In the sunshine.
and. whereas the Ice that had been
formed in a single night disappeared
within a week. the other block sur.
vived for three weeks.
The ice is carefully doctored every
night with the skill of n first class sur.
geon. Small holes are trimmed and
scooped out with a knife. They are
then filed with finely powdered Ice
and sprinkled with boiling water The
result is az absolutely even surface OF
good ice.-London Times.

Washington, June 16.-Speaker

The Speaker and Mrs. Clark engag-

by the announcement that his fash

advance of several hundred a year
was asked.
The agent sought to impress the
Speaker with the desirability of the

that he couldn't see 1t that way.

WOMEN AFTER CITY BONDS
Carry Them OFF in Market Baskets
from Newspaper Office.

Baltimore, June 16.-An expert
ment in selling city bonds to small
investors over the counter, which
ended here today, is called an amaz-
ing success by bankers and city Off
Gals.
The experiment was made by The
Baltimore SIN just after the issuance
of $5.500,GJD g., city bonds on June
had failed. due largely to the tight
ness of money In Wall Street. The
city then offered the bonds at 80, but
still they attracted few investors.
Then Charles H. Grasty, publisher
of The Sun, offered to sell q $4,000
block of these 500 bonds over the
counter at his newspaper Office. The
interest of small investors exceeded
all expectations. and for ten days
the Office has been crowded with pur
chasers of 100 to 300 shares. Most
OF them have been women--many
with market baskets on their arms.
At the close OF the sale this after
noon The Sun had sold $4,000 worth
of the bonds instead of the original
ly planned $4,000. The city has
withdrawn it's offer TO sell at 80, be-
cause a large part of the issue has
been sold, the interest aroused by
the newspaper campaign having sent
many small investors directly to the
Commissioners OF Finance.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Grasty has
found a new market for city securi-
ties. The woman with a market bas-
ket over her arm helped finance the
city for the first time.

ONE KILLED WHEN
GASOLINE TANK
EXPLODED
Five More Hurt In Wrecking OF
New Haven Garage
SIX AUTOMOBILES DAMAGED
Thousand Gallons of Gasoline ignites
In Cellar of Taft Hotel
Annex.

New Haven, June 17.-Panic seiz-
ed the guests of the Hotel Taft dur
ing the dinner hour this evening,
when Kinks garage. the auxiliary of
the hotel, was wrecked by an explos-
ion of a thousand gallons of gaso-
line In the cellar.

and taken to a hospital. They
were: John Hansin, chauffeur, en-
ployed in the garage; George Lyman
of New Haven, James Carley. chauf-
feur for B. F. Butler of Chicago;
Wilbur F. Watkins, a Yale Graduate,
here for Commencement, and w. A.
Kirk, proprietor of the garage.
All the injured were on the main
floor of the garage, three stories
from the basement, where the explos-
ion took place. Kirk and Lyman
were blown through a window and
badly bruised. Fitch was In the
cellar, filing a large tank with gas
oiine, and it Is believed that the
tank overlooked and that possibly a
spark from a shovel that fell to the
ground ignited it. Fitch was blown
to pieces.
Windows in the garage and in the
wing of the Hotel Taft adjacent
were smashed and the report that
the garage was afire caused the
guests to rush to their rooms and
prepare for flight Luckily danger
from Ara Uac avartad Civ autOmO-
biles were badly damaged, most of
them the property of Yale's com
mencement guests.
The damage is estimated at $780,

unusual battle with the swift incom-

in one Of the great tide gates that
prevent the water from overfiowing
the meadows. Desperate efforts were
made TO release him. but without
avail. The fire and police depart

of more than 800 persons gathered.
