NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM URGED.
Dispatchers Say Present Method OF
Sending Orders les Antiquated.


Sending Orders Is Anticipated.
Train dispatchers of the country want
all possibility of collisions removed by
doing away with the present system OF
train orders, that can be misinterpreted,
and signals that may be unseen. Instead
of these Anticipated methods it is pro,
posed to substitute colored electric lights
in the engine cab, signals that always
can be seen and never can be misunder,
stood.
1t is desired to make the safeguards
against wrecks as nearly perfect as pos,
sible by not trusting to a mans mind,
Mechanical accuracy only is believed to
meet the requirements of the age.
Among others to urge change is A. G..
Miller Of Aurora. chief dispatcher Of ths
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail
way. He suggests that several disas-
trous wrecks of late were due to the al
legged misunderstanding of written orders,
and insists that written orders never
should be used.
The placing of "block" signals along
the track at this day when trains often
run eighty miles an hour, is held to be
unsafe, as they cannot always De read
by the engineer when going at such speed.
Automatic blocks or lights in the en-
CINE cab" said Mr. Miller, means just
two things-when they are clear or white
the train should proceed: when they are
red the train should stop. There should
be no written orders"
This system of movable blocks or lights
in engine cabs has been shown 10 be feas-
ible. Such a system is being Installed on
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad
chiefly through the efforts Of Mr. Miller,
who took the initiative in bringing the
system to perfection.
The engineer is held TO be the one man
on whom the safety Of the passengers
depends Mr.. Miller insists that this
mans life and those Of his assistants are
always at stake, and hence to brand such
men with negligence or carelessness is
unjust

Families Mt Pit Mouth.

1t was just 1915 when a duh roar,
coupled with a shock which could be felt
for miles around, told of some grave acct
dent at the mine. Within FIVE minutes
the ground surrounding the pit mouth
wa Shronged with the wives aad the
famiiies of the miners. Then as they
stood around, not grasping the full import
of what had occurred, from out of the
pit mouth burst a shaft of flame, setting
the top works on fire and rendering the
work of rescue impossible.
A panic Immediately followed. Many

vicious puffs of fame We're being spouted

by their grief, Were on the verge of losing
their senses.

1t was 3 o'clock before the rescue par
ties were able to enter the mine, and
when finally the cages were rugged, the
fire under control and they were lowered
into the ruiHed workings they found at
every step charred bodies of the men who
had been killed by the first shock and
over whose corpses the flames had
wrought havoc, burning some of them
so badly that Identification was barely
possible. There We're 10 men at work
in the mine at the time of the explosion,
but eighty managed to escape, compare

mine was quite recently inspected by the
