DEMOCRATS IN rage
over fORD'S Machine
Representatives Excited When They
Learn Public Printer Rides in
$4,000 Automobile.
THEN THEY LIMIT ITS USE

As a Democrat. can not see any
use for an automobile" exclaimed Rep
resentAtive Fowler. Of illinois, In the
House yesterday in the course Of debate
on the sundry civil bill
II was brought out that public Printer
Ford. who is a New Jersey Democrat.
rides around town in a 1900 electric
purchased out OF government funds The
disclosure Of this fact created excitement
up over 1t, Mr.. Fowler intimating that
II was his solemn belief that the auto
mobile was a device OF the devil. and
that there was something inherently
wrong with men who used them.
Mr.. Fowler's wrath turned to rage
when he was Informed how Mr.. Ford
came into possession OF the electric.
II was pointed out by Representative
Aopdell, OF Wyoming. that Mr.. Ford's
electric, which is said TO be thing OF
beauty and a joy to the Ford family,
was bought with funds taken from an
appropriation headed for the purchase
Of electric appliances"
Il am getting sick and tired Of this
business" shouted Representative Quinn,
Mississippi Democrat. In this city II
is common sight to see little ONCE
holders riding around in great big auto
mobiles. / have seen 300 oficeholders
disporttng themselves in 5000 cars
bought with funds drained from the
burdened taxpayers of the land. This
thing has got to stop"
One Of the orators mentioned that the
electric used by Mr.. Ford is employed to
carry money from the Treasury to the
Public Printing ONCE.
m siad to walk to get my money!
declared Mr.. Quinn. Down in thar
grand old State of Mississippi, which I
have the honor TO represent in part in
this here House, the folk are perfectly
willing TO walk up TO the desks or the
counting offices, or the mill once to get
their money. Nobody gives them auto
mobiles"
The upshot Of the affair was that IN.
House inserted a provision in the bill
stipulating that the automobile now used
by the public printer should be en-
ployed In the future solely to carry
printing material

danger A strand of her hair In one
of the cogs of the machinery and she
would meet frightful death.
He forgot his own terrible predica-
ment, although his own fate, trembling
III the balance. was even worse than
death.
A braid of the girls hair swept into
the steel cogs of the machine she had
been operating. At the pull on her
scalp she uttered a shrek that rang
through the building. The tireless
double row of needles worked away
within few inches of the head of the
unfortunate girl
Her cry was echoed by roar from
Nelson to the man in charge of the
switch controlling the current
In two bounds he reached the girl
and caught the fastened braid of hair
with both hands. Her head fell under
his right arm. He gave a mighty
twisting pull as the current was cut
off and the machine began to slow
down. The hair was torn free OF the
cogs and the girl dropped In dead
faint to the floor The needles still
flashed. but slowly.
Kearney had run toward Nelson to
help in the rescue. Of the girl IL he
could. He saw the mill president stag
ger as If faint. His face was whittier
than the sheet of paper he had used to
hold his charcoal dust.
The detective saw Nelson's lips come
together in a firm, blue line. The
