into a barrel which has enough
water in it to make fifty gallons of
spray.

FAR VICTIMS GET
PENSION INCREASE
.    (By Aesseiste* Prut)
(Washington, April 21.—Without

the Bursum .bill, which has al-
ady been approved by the senate,
Trying pension increases for vet-
sns of the Civil, Spanisb-American
d Indian wan and the War of
&
and injuring three more.
Without lights, save the sparks
from its stack, the engine screamed
like a giant black specter for three
miles from the Baltimore and Ohio
roundhouse until it crashed into a
bumping post at the stub end of a
truck and turned over.
At a street crossing nearly three
miles from the roundhouse it struck
the automobile of Otto Bowlmatk,
killing Bowlmark, his ten-year-old
son, and W illiam Lindberg. and in-
juring three members of Bowl-
mark's family.
Authorities today were seeking to
learn the identity of u man, clad in
overalls, who was reported having
been seen leaping from the engine
as it left the roundhouse. The cabin
was deserted and the throttle wide
open as it emerged from the net-
work of ’switch tracks, slowly at
first, then steadily gaining momen-
tum and speed until it was rushing
wildly at a speed estimated at fifty
miles an hour.
'A negro who saw the man leap
from the cab reported the matter to
signal men. Wires flashed the news
along the route and efforts were
made to throw derail switches ahead
of the speeding engine. Thoy missed
connections by fractions of seconds.
Fear gripped towermen that the
engine would find an open switen
to the main track and collide with
several scheduled inbound passenger
trains. It stopped short of the
crossing of the Illinois Central
tracks and overturned.
The Injured were in too serious a
condition to give details of the col-
lision.
The boy was the first to be found,
hurled a distance of 200 feet from
the track. A passing taxicab driver
found the moaning boy and without
waiting to look for other injured
took him to the South Shore hos-
pital. He died before reaching the
hospital.
No one excepting those in the au-
tomobile is believed to have witness-
ed the collision.
Wreckage strewn along the track
for more than a block gave mute
evidence of the speed with which
the engine rushed blindly through
the darkness.
Railroad officials joined the po-
lice authorities in making an inves-
tigation, hoping to learn the iden-
tity of the man who started the an-
gina on its race of destruction.
Mattie Helm and Mrs. Murray Al-
len, all of Dallas.
Funeral services and burial took
place this afternoon at Miller
Grove cemetery, where a large num-
ber of relatives and sympathizing
friends of the family gathered to
pay their respect to his life and
memory.

Washington, April 21.—F. M.
Boucher, former department of jus-
tice investigator, testified that the
confiscated liquor was sorted at the
department of justice and the best
kept in the safe of the office of the
chief investigation bureau to sup-
ply "officials" and others.
Alonzo E. Bunch told the com-
mittee that a hundred cases of
whisky illegally taken from him
had been "delivered to people all
over town.”
Houston Thompson, chairman of
the federal trade commission, said
it was useless for the commission to
turn over to Daugherty evidence
warranting criminal anti-trust pros-
ecutions.
