after the machine had fallen over on its side the engine again toppled and Banton was caught under tho heavy weight One of the vertebrae ot tho spine was crushed and for nian patient lay in the hospitals in the and finally con bed sores which refused to heal Meanwhile he was on account of the injury to Ills spine H was finally decided to send him to his Home in Waterloo where he arrived in July 1906 The government provided lation as far as Chicago and also a trained nurse out despite this the ex pense falling upon Mr Banton attai nts arrival was excessive many months he required the atten tion of nurses and ever since has been under the care of physicians Friends in this city took the matter no and every congressman n the state was appealed to The first for relief was referred to the proper com in congress where ft was kill ed the committee not desiring to make a precedent in allowing these claims Still his friends persisted and n special hill was introduced and the matter was kept constantly before the Iowa delegation in congress and all others whom it was possible to reach The work so far has had the very satisfactory result of bringing tho claim favorably lo the attention ot President Roosevelt While Mr Banton has improved somewhat in the last few months at tending physicians arc positive in the belief that he will never be able to re umc any manual or clerical occupa tion sufficiently remunerative to sup either himself or his family Waterloo people will with one ac cord rejoice at the apparently bright for the passage of the spe cial for the relief
