in the TalIapOOsa Case.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2S.-The Phila-
delphia Medical NelgS, in its issue Satur-
day, will say editorially:
The collision and sinking OF the United
States steamship Tallapoosa, and the conse-
quent loss of life, it seems quite probable NAV
be another example of the results which we
are called upon from time to time to chrOni-
Gle Of the baneful indispositlon of our legisla-
tors to grapple with the subject of color
blindness in its relation to railroad service
and navigation, any legal enactment con-
cernlng which is extremely unpop-
ular with railroad anu steamship
employees, who constitute an influential pOr-
tion Of our voting population. A sailor who
says that he was in the pilot house of the
TallapOOsa at the time of the collision, said to
an Associated Press reporter that during the
mOmentOus minutes Immediately preceding
the collision the Captain, Navigator and
Mate saw the lights of the schooner, but dis
puted whether it was a green or red light.
and thus vital moments were wasted, and
finally when the Captain decided what course
to take 1t was too late to avoid q collision. In
the official inquiry, which is about to be held,
we hope that the Navy Department will di-
rect special investigation TO be made by
medical experts concerning color vision and
the aculty of sight of all officers and men
whose duty it was TO have seen the lights OF
the couldlng schooner, and thus definitely de-
termlne II defective color vision, the ex-
lstence OF which had not been previously as
certained, was responsible for the sinking OF
the IallaDOOSa.
