DEATH NAY HAVE SWAY
B. & 0. Not Compelled to Put
Flagmen at Crossings.
District Attorney Thomas So Decides
In an Elaborate Opinion to the
Com missioners.

attorney for the District Thomas has
rendered a decision to the effect that the
Commiss toner's cannot compel railroads
to keep flagmen at grade crossings. This
conclusion was reached as a result of the
resolution adopted at the last meeting OF
the Northeast Citizens Association.
As cumulative evidence the association
cited n number Of crossings at which the
flagmen were on duty only in the daytime,
aud suggested that an order be issued re
quiriDg their presence at all hours of the
day and night.
In his opinion Mfr. Thomas says:
~ have considered the resolution OF
the Northeast Washington Citizens Asso-
citation, that you require the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company to keep compe-
tent watclmen at all its grade crossings all
the time,' which you referred to me for
opinion whether or not you may require
this company to keep watchmen at any
or all OF its highway crossings.
LAS a general rule, in the absence OF
statutory requirements, railroad COM
pany is not bound TO keep rlagmen at high
way crossings.
"A traveller upon a highway, when ap-
preaching a railway crossing, ought to
make use of his senses of sight and hearing
to avoid collision. The tracks of a rail
road iDtersecting highway at grade is
itself warming and a proclamation of
danger, which the traveller should heed
He must exercise care commensurate with
the impending danger at crossing.
raiirnnh ia hound Use
every reasonable precaution to prevent in
Jury TO travellers on the highway.
1.-The only pretense of authority for such
a police regulation would be section of
the joint resolution of Congress, February
20, 1892 t27 Stat, 394), authorizing
the Commissioners tn make police regula-
tions for the protection of life and limb.
But the supreme court of this District has
rendered that source of power very doubt
full by holding tin re Sullivan, 81 Dist.
Col. Rep, 1885, that the reference in the
Joint resolution to the act of Congress of
January 26, 1887 I'D Stat, 359) has the
effect TO make the classes of regulations
provided for by that act Illustrations of
what is meant in the resolutions by
regulations. In other words, that the
regulations made under section nf the
joint resolution must be of the classes
provided for in the act of 1887. As rail-
road crossings were Not provided for in the
latter act, the joint resolution, as long as
Sullivan's case stands unreversed, cannot
be relied upon as supporting regulation
requiring steam railroad compa nies to
have rlagmen at their grade crossings.
In my Judgment, you cannot require
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company to
keep watchmen at any or all of its cross
inys''

dressed letter to the excise board today,

the Withholding of liquor license, and an

Mr.. Garfield says:
The reputation of the locality known as

in favor of the higher education of women
was in reality only a revival of a state
of affairs which existed prior to the
