The Dangerous "Hurry-Up' Wagons

One Of the rapid transit stree. railroads
of this city was temporarily disabled yes
terday and at once tw2 "hurry-up'' Or re-
pair wagons were sent dashing to the
scene of the accident. Naturally a crowd
collected around the cars, and when the
wagons arrived there was grave danger
that some of the persons standing in the
street would be injured. Fortunately 10
one was hurt, but the incident serves to
call attention to the need of moro care in
the management of these repair wagons

the occupants of the principal thorough
fares of the city to hear the violently

reckless speed, faster by far Than the
fire engines are ever able to co. on account
of the lighter weight The object of the
companies is to save fractions of seconds
in sending machinists to make repairs. but
the advantage thus gained is questionable
when compared with the serious danger
that some person may be killed or badly
injured by the flying vehicles. The travel

and it IS desirable that whenever an acct

little time he lost as possible IN making
the necessary repairs, hut there could we'll

fire apparatus. With the latter each mo-
ment at the beginning of a confiagration

human life, to say nothing of property
values. and the utmost speed is permissible
and even desirable in such an event. The
repair wagons. however, are more danger

He sat on the jury. He noted with care
Everything that was offered in evidence

He took the exhibits with caution in hand
And heard wha. the witnesses said on the

AS the days passed along he felt sure he
could trust
His Judgment to offer = verdict quite just.
But his confidence straightway gave place
unto doubt
When the experts their theories gravely
brought out.
OF anatomy now he knows much that is
new;
OF heredity's pranks; toxicology, too.
Craniotomys wonders he's able to trace.
But he's wholly forgotten the facts in the

Athens, Oct. 6.-The boule met yes
terday. but its proceedings attracted
little interest. M. Zaimis, the new pre-
mier. declared that the objects OF his
government would be to secure the
evacuation of Thessaly and to fully
and radically reorganize the country In
order to insure evacuation. To carry
out this time was necessary, he said,

Delyannis, M. Karapanos and M. Dell
georgis announced that their respective
parties would support the government.
The chamber then adjourned amid
cheering for General Smolenski. min
lister Of war.
The cabinet regards the vote of con-
fdence accorded to M. Zaimis as equiv
alent to an acceptance of the treaty
by the chamber. and has. therefore.
notified the doyen Of the diplomatic
corps that the government Is prepared
to negotiate for the execution of arti-
Gle OF the treaty and to regard the
acceptance Of the treaty as an ac-
complished fact.

tional commission Of the mediating
powers. composed of six members, shall
be empowered to make the necessary
arrangements to secure the rapid pay
ment Of the indemnity and to prevent
any injury from being done TO the
rights of former creditors Under its
terms the Greek government will sub
NIT to the boule a law, to be previously
approved by the powers, defining the
duties of the commission. According
to this law the collection and employ
ment Of revenues sufficient for the SER
vice of the new and old loans will be
subjected to the absolute control Of the
commission.
Article g. after providing that the
preliminary treaty Of peace is signed
"a condition fulfilled on Sept. 1S). fur
ther provides that the evacuation of
Thessaly shall take place within
month beginning from the date when
the powers shall have recognized the
provisions of article 2 as fulfilled. The
mode of the evacuation of Thessaly and
the restoration of the Greek authorities
will be fixed, article 6 provides. by the
delegates of the great powers.
1t is provided In article that In the
event of disagreement In the course Of
the negotiations between Turkey and
Greece the contested points may be
submitted by one or other Of the parties
interested to the arbitration of the
representatives of the great powers at
Constantinople, whose decisions shall
be compulsory for both governments.
