MORE MEN on STREETCARS.

Assemblyman Mintons bill requiring the sur
face railroads TO put an additional man on each
of the big cars in the busy hours ought to be
come a law. The huge bulks which are now
forced at high speed through our streets and
avenues carry an amazing number Of passen-
gers Oh every trip in the active parts of the
day With the system of transfers now In so
general use, with the frequent stops and starts,
with the pressure of people to get on or Off the
conductors are overworked. The new cars have
high Platforms and they stop and start swiftly.
The passengers within may be wedged together
and the conductor is so busy In forcing his way
through the mass of humanity, in arranging his
transfers. in recording the fares that it is ex-
tremely difficult and sometimes impossible for
him TO give proper attention to men. women
and children who are getting on or off the lofty
steps. Many accidents occur because the con-
ductors are so overwhelmed that they signal the
motOrmen too hastily.
Mr. MintOn's bill is so plainly In the public
interest that the roads ought not to oppose it,
1t is carefully drawn and reasonable 1t does
not compel the companies TO employ more men
except in those hours in which the pressure is
the greatest 1t does not force them to make
changes for the smaller old fashioned cars
with their low and convenient platforms Its
adoption would crafty the people of New York
and the visitors to the city. The perils of
street travel are constantly increasing. and pre-
cautions are sorely needed Among the people
who are slightly injured in getting on or off cars
a considerable percentage hestates TO bring suit
for damages. Nevertheless the probabilities Of
damage suits sufficiently serious to make 1t
advisable for the corporations to favor the Min
ton bill rather than TO fight ii. 1t Is an unwise
policy for them to stir up i'll feeling They
ought to be glad to please the public In this
matter. They would lessen the number Of acct
dents by doing so, and would promote their own
advantage in the long run. The bill provides
that third man shall be stationed on the rear
platform of every big car to stop and start 1t in
the busy hours. because the conductor in those
hours has too much TO look after. 1t will not
impose an oppressive expense upon the corpo-
ratiOns and it is simple and practical plan of
relief.

Deputy Sheriff Edgar Bradbury
returned Saturday from Valley City,
n. d.. having in charge the Swede,
Gus johnson, the alleged abductor
and rapist. Mr.. Bradbury also
brought back with him the two girls
Agnes and Metha Mulkenthin. No
difficulty was encountered by the dep
uty sheriff, as johnson agreed to re-
turn without the formality of a requi-
sition. Monday morning Johnson and
the two girls were taken to Occur d =
Alene and the former was lodged In
jail awaiting his preliminary hearing
which takes place next Tuesday. The
two girls were retained as witnesses.
Agnes, the eldest, was quite commu-
NEGATIVE, and stoutly denied that any
undue influence was exercised by
johnson over either herself or her sis
ter to induce them to leave home. On
the contrary it was due TO The earnest
solicitations OF their own mother
that they consented to 60 east with
Johnson, who was taking them to his
mother in y. Dakota under whose
care and guidance they were to be
placed. As to the charge preferred
against johnson OF rape, Agnes SAYS il
is absolutely false. that Johnson has
always acted in the capacity Of true
friend and protector.
Since the return Of Johnson ana the
girls, Herman Mulkenthin, the father
OF the latter has been arrested upon
information furnished by Agnes,
charging him with the henious and
brutal crime of maintaining criminal
relations with his own daughter. Re-
ing unable to furnish bail he was
lodged in Jail. Mulkenthin is a man
