General Impression in Court

SIGNALS COULD NOT Be SEEN
Manager Franklin Admits TEnt for
Nine Years Engineers Have Com
planned of instability of Lights,
md That Company E1d Never
Taken Action Thereon.


quest TO place tae responsibility and FIX
the blame Tor the recent accident in the
New York Central tunnel was continued
this morning and viii probably be con
clujod either late this afternoon or to-
morrow.
T. was the general impression in court
today that the disclosures made by Man
ager Joseph Franklin. Of the Harlem
Road, under denomination by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, showed that the
railroad had been decidedly remiss in its
handling Of trains in the tunnel.
FrankIin's Admissions.
Franklin admitted that engineers for
nine years had frequently complained that
they had been unable TO see the lights in
Tie tunnel but that nothing had been
done to remedy the evil lie further
stated that engineers, when lights were
ObscUred, were compelled to feel" their
way, having nothing to depend on but
their sense of the locality.
Franklin said engineers repeatedly late
were taken from regular trains and put on
yard engines.
Engineer WisEer sat beside his counsel
Frank Moss. this morning in the same
detected air which has characterized his
actions since The accident.
Manager Franklin Recalled
Whom court opened Manager Franklin
was recalled 10 the stand by District At
tcrney Jerome He stated that or The
morning Of the accident he had examined
the rails and that they were not greasy.
Franklin stated 10 the court that his
schedule made it necessary for engineers
TO run from twenty-five TO tweuty-eight
miles an hour. and that engineers could
make up time to any speed.
Mr.. Jerome then brought out the fact
that q ten-car train running twenty-five
miles an hour required 600 feet 10 stop
in. Il viii be recalled that the Harlem
tIain had run $50 By the red light when
the collision occurred.
Franklin admitted that the signal sys-
tenn in the tunnel. with the exception OF
! the audible trOpedo signal at the red
light. depended only upon the sense Of
sight
The torped1es. have found generally
worked. though / have had many com
plants that they did not" said Franklin
Mr.. Jerome's Little Sensation.
NJ Jerome then created a little sen
satioa 10y producing a report Of The en-
ginee~ to a train dispatcher on Deem
her %, 1901 The report stated that the
engineer had run a whole train length
by a danger signal and had lost four
minutes backing up. The engineer had
further reported that it was very foggy
and ne could not see.
Part Of the report read;
Slipped by caution signal and had to
feel for home"
The red signal referred to Is located at
Seventy second Street. and is on an up
grade and Franklin was compelled 20 ad-
NIT that the engineer. even in feeling
his way, had gone whole train length
by the red signal.
Jerome followed this With the report Of
/ another engineer who, on December 4, had
run by a danger signal a whole train
| length because the smoke and fog had
concealed the caution signal green" so

The Presidents Great Work.
ICnicago Tribune. ]

Il
The public is indebted to the presl-
aent for the excellent personnel Of the
tribunal. 1t is indebted TO him for more
than that. But for HIM there would
have been no tribunal. He brought
pressure to bear upon The operators and
made them yield what they would have
yielded to.no one else. a new preec-
dent has been established, but it is jus
tilted by urgent need. \ point had been
reached where action became necessary
for the public welfare.
1t was hazardous matter for the
president to intervene. Success was
uncertain and failure would have been
injurious to many interests. He ran
the risk and has succeeded. Thanks to
him the mines will be reopened. The
shivering poor who have been dreading
the approach of winter will cast away
their fears. The mills, closed for lack
of fuel, will resume work. Peace will
return to the anthi acite regions, TO
which it has been I; stranger for nearly
half a year Happy is the country with
chief magistrate VINO is not afraid
when great exigencles demand IL to
step outside the beaten path OF duty
and the conventional sphere of action
and at the hazard of being misunder
stood or rebuffed bid warning capital
and labor lay down their arms and give
the country peace.

KETcHUM IN SOUTHERN IOWA.
ICharifon Patriot


Hon. n. S. Ketchum, a leading BUSH
ness man of Marshalltown was a Char
iton visitor last Friday, and while here
called on his long time friend, f. r
Croker. The Patriot scribe is indebt-
cd to Mr.. Croker for the pleasure of
an Introduction to the gentleman and
enjoyed a pleasant chat with him
MIR. ketchum is not only prominent
in business but also distinguished in
the politics of Iowa, having represent
ed his county in the legislature, and
last year was among the leading cam
didates for the nomination of railroad
commissioner before the republican
state convention. Thereto hangs a bit
of interesting convention history. Mr..
Ketchum's strongest competitor was
Edward A. Dawson, the present nomi-
nee. The Lucas county delegation was
solid for ketchum and its vote cast for
him by the chairman of the delega ton,
Mr.. Barger, but in the final count.
which determined the contest, the vote
of Lucas county was counted for MIR.
Dawson. To be sure it was immaterial.
as the change of this county would not
have changed the result, and we men
ton it now, solely that the delegation
may be put right in the record, and
should Mr.. Ketchum be a candidate In
the future Lucas county may be de-
pended upon not to get lost in conven-
ton figures again.

The Tariff.
Indianapolis News.1

OF course we understand that the
question of tariff revision Is full of em-
barrassment for the republican party.
The present tariff is only five years old,
and yet there is all over the country a
revolt against 1t among the republic
ans themselves. Republican candi-
dates In Massachusetts are demanding
the removal of the duties on coal, wool,
hides and steel. In Wisconsin there is
strong opposition to the present law
among the republicans. The schism in
the Iowa republican party on this ques-
ton is clearly defined. In Indiana the
tariff reform sentiment is now, as it
always has been, strong. When tar
'iff law becomes obsolete in five years
there Is abundant reason for alarm on
the part of those responsible for it.

ARs.7RA!lon,s PROBABLE FINDING

Now that the striking miners have
ton will be INDUCED in the award of
the arbitration commission. While
verdict, it is significant that United
States Commissioner of Labor, Carroll
d. Wright, has been made secretary of
the commission, and that the Washing
ton correspondents all announce that
the secretary will be the most infiuen-
tial member of the board
1t will be remembered that in June,
one month after the strike was inaug-
urated, the president sent Commission
er Wright to investigate and report the
strike situation. This he did very thor
oughly, and since, with this special
knowledge and his thorough under
standing of the labor question in gem
eral, Mr.. Wright has been made Sec
rotary of the commission, 1t may be
presumed that the commission will find
little more than was embodied in his
report.
With this point in view, 1t will be in
5teresting to turn to his report. Upon
the miners claims he found that the
miners at first presented three specific
demands to the OPERATORS:
!. There should be an increase of 90
per cent in wages to all miners paid by
the ton-about 40 per cent Of all min
ers.
2. A reduction of two hours day in
the time of all per diem men, equiva-
lent to a 20 per cent increase in wages.
8. That 2,24O pounds should constitute
a ton of coal, where miners are paid for
mining by the ton, to be honestly
weighed.
These claims were rejected. The
miners then offered to accept 10 per
cent increase in wages or its equivalent
in reduction of time. and make three
years contract, or they would leave the
whole matter to arbitration, or they
would abide by an investigation to be
made by Archbishop Ireland, Bishop
Potter and q third man to be selected

REASONS FOR FAIR PLAY.

The chief sticking point with the
iytriking miners when they came to
vote upon the resolution to return to
work was the. fear that all would not
be able to secure their old places. Ap-
pealed to on this question President
Mitchell mingled diplomacy with
frankness by stating that, as the oper-
ators refused to have direct negotia-
lions with him, he could only state
3 that thru Intermediates he had re-
ceiyed that understanding. He urged
them to return to work. saying that the
United Mine Workers. Union would
look. after those who failed to secure
employment; that If the coal compa-
MES failed to give the men their old
Jobs, and if they failed to treat them
reasonably, the matter would be placed
before the tribunal appointed by the
president. Thus President Mitchell, by
bis persuasive influence, had much to
do In securing favorable vote, and he
4ls entitled to great credit for 1t.
The outlook is that the coal COM
oanies will make no Determinations.
There ought to be work for all, II the
conditions in the mines permit 1T. 1t
you'd certainly lead to further antago-
,isms II any considerable number
ailed to Secure work. 1t would renew
ne feud against the ncn-union men,
rho are to be protected in their rights
,nder the agreement reached. Per-
aps there is more to fear for the fu-
IRE Of these non-union workers than
10 others. Ominous threats reveal the
/ he purpose Of the strikers to deprive
mem Of employment as soon as they
4 ret the upper hand. In fact attacks on
lon-union men have occurred since
President Mitchell signified his accep-
lance Of the plan Of settlement. This
should be prevented II possible. Presi-
dent Mitchell will not have done his
full duty unless he secs that his fol-
3owess respect the rights of others. In

The PREsEMI luRY TRIAL.

Gentlemen of the jaiy, there is no
case to try, said Secretary Shaw in
che of his recent political addresses,
at indianapolis. That states the politi-
| cal situation in q nutshell: there is
nothing before the American people
there is no great policy that needs to
be abandoned. AT least there is moth
ing suggested by the opposition that is
worth adopting. There is nothing in
what they offer that is broad and lib
eral and helpful, or that will be even
efficient in the way Of a corrective for
what few ills that accompany the gen
eral prosperity and WIDE satisfaction
existing among the people today. In
several sections and among a certain
type of political agitators there is a
feeble but fruitiess attempt to view
with alarm and work the threadbnre
calamity cry, yet it will have little eff
feet among the voters.
Gentlemen of the jury, there is MOTH
.
ing presented by the opposition that
is worth the ink on which the demo-
cratic ballot is printed. Silverism at
16 to is dead, and the majority of the
democratic state conventions have so
recognized and decreed it: free trade
has black record that blights it. and
imperialism never had vitality enough
TO convert one-half of the democrats
ever to such a standard. What is there
left in the way Of issues that the re-
publican party with it's superior force
and greater vitality is not committed
to in the way of finding the best solu-
ton. Nothing at all of any conse-
quence.
Gentlemen of the jury. the verdict
clearly belongs to the republican party.
the party of hope, the party of action,
the party of helpfulness and the party
of progreSs
