The statistical report of the inter-
state commerce commission for the last
fiscal year gives some interesting fig
ures regarding railway accidents. The
number of people killed during the year
was $3.50 and the number injured was
40,8S2. Of the killed 221 were passen-
gers and 1, 95S were railway employees
The remaining 1850 were killed at
railway crossings or while stealing rides.
Casualties resulting from coupling and
uncoupling cars numbered 6, 9S9, or over
one-fifth of the total number Of casual
ties to employees. Thus there would
have been a great saving to life and
limb had the automatic coupler, with
which the railroad companies have been
so loath to equip their cars been in use.
The report shows that one passenger
was killed in every 1928, 1873 carried
and one injured in every 10000. This
is very good showing, so far as the
number killed is concerned, though the
percentage Of injured is not as low as il
has been in previous years. The casual
ty list would be greatly reduced with
the abolition Of grade crossings, which
should speedily be done, particularly OF
lines running through thickly settled
communities.

The London Lancet gives some inter-
esting data showing the desire for no.
toriety as the motive for crime. It cites
the case of Luccheni, the assassin of
the empress Of Austria, who at first
was downcast and sullen, but later be-
came decidedly cheerful, his eyes spar
king with gratifed self Importance
when he learned that he was the SUBJ
ject of general press comment. $50 the
journals are talking of me?" he in
quired, with evident satisfaction. The
case illustrates the large part which
vanity and desire for widespread pub
lie attention play in reconciling the
criminal to his fate and even leading to
the commission of crime in cases where
the mental balance is unstable. This
class of criminals, The Lancet urges,
should always be tried with as little
publicity as possible.
