STOPPING At CROSSINGS
Coroner Carr's Views on Street
Railway Regulations.
The Ground Taken That Cars should
He BROUGHT to n StandstiIi an tho
operative - Relation of Fatal Ac-
cidents to the Current Practice.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from DR.. W. C. Carr. the Coroner,
a formal statement OF his opinion on the
question OF stopping street cars on tho
near side Of the street az crossings. This
statement was made at the instigation Of
the Commissioners on a request sent to
them by the Capital Traction Company.
The request OF the company asked that
such change be made in the police regu-
lations OF the District as would allow tho
stopping OF cars on the far side OF the
street. The matter was referred to the
Coroner for the purpose Of ascertaining
what bearing recorded accidents might
have on the present rule.
DR.. Carr takes the ground that the reg
ulation now in vogue is not fully opera
tive, as in many instances street cars
stop on both sides Of the street or only on
the far side His opinion is that the
present rule does not effectually guard
against accidents, and he thinks a less
number would .eusue IL the cars stopped
regularly on the far side OF the street In
his statement DR.. Carr says in part:
Il fail to see how the present rule,
which is only operative half the time. and
in certain sections of the city, can be
safe one. But even il carried out con-
sistently by stopping every car on the
near side Of every crossing believe it
would only lead to annoyance and dan
ger. All the dangers described. and all
uncertainty as to the movements of the
care. will be prevented by a ram to
the rule of stopping on the far si1e OF
the street. and cannot see how any new
danger would thereby be added. Indeed.
am sure there Is less danger from a car
crossing at a speed of twelve miles an
hour than from one crossing slowly from
a stop on the near side, for the following
reasons:
1T obstructs the view fcr a shorter
time and the Importance of this fact is
very great when 1t is taken into consid-
Grafton that INSTRUCTED view is an impor-
tant factor in the vast majority of acci-
dents.
THE temptation to rush across. In
front OF the car is minimized. and this
is the next most important real living
danger Of the crossing.
THE greater convenience to travellers
and to the general public under the far
side rule, | take it, is an axiom needing
no discussion"
With reference to recorded &c ;len;s.
Coroner Carr states that there have been
five fatalities at street crossings since the
present rule Of stopping cars on the near
side of the street went into effect. In
each of these accidents The victims were
killed by the cars and he Coroner thinks
that three of them wera due. at least in
directly. to the regulation itself. The per-
sons killed got in the way Of the cars
after they were stopped in toying to 60
across the track in front OF them.
The Commissioners yesterday expressed
great interest in the Coroner's statement.
and after further consideration may rec
ommend a change in the police regula-
tions in accordance Herewith.

NAVAL CoURTs-MARTIAL.
A Question of Jurisdiction Raised b,
n Lieutenant of Marines.

The Judge Advocate General of the Navy
has under consideration perplexing ques-
ton relating to naval discipline and the
Philippine Islands.
Some time ago First Lieut.. James W
Lynch was tried by court-martial at Ca

bers. He has appealed from the decision
on the ground that only in foreign waters
has an admiral the right TO call court
martial to try an officer OF the Navy. On
the other hand. II II is admitted that the
admiral had right 10 call the court mar
tial. Lieutenant Lynch argues that the
verdict cannot stand because the court
martial was held on shore at Cavite in
stead of on board snip
