ACTION AT LAST.
From To-Day's World)

From ToDays World)
The vigorous and persistent crusade
Of 1.-The Evening World to secure more
adequate protection for human life from
the Brooklyn trolley corporations has
resulted in an Indictment for man
slaughter in tho second degree against
the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Com
pany. The charge Is based on the kill
Ing OF Mrs. Medinger. who was run over
by one OF the cars OF the Company on
March c6 while on her way to church.
The Grand Jury which returned the IN
dictment also filed a presentment against
all the trolley companies OF Brooklyn
for their failure to provide sufficient
protection for human life. and recon-
mended the enactment OF laws to
remedy the existing defects.
Thus does The World" fulhl its mis-
sion OF public service. The most i'm
portant interest In charge OF the au-
thoriues of any community is the pro
lection OF life. OF all duties this is the
first and most sacred.
