TENDERS ON LOCAL
STREET CARS ARE
NO EARTHLY GOOD
Seattle Electric Company Strongly Censured for Using an
Alleged Lite-Saving ConrivanCe-- Other Cities
Protect Their People

since the street car accident Of
yesterday afternoon wherein little
Albert Hcckart lost his lifc the Sc
attic Electric Company has been
made the subject ~ general criticism
on account OF the alleged faulty con-
rtruction OF the Tenders on the street
cars Several years ago, before the
consolidation OF che lines. the differ
ent companies were ordered by the
city council 20 put Tenders on the
cars. After several trials and tests
the present styles were adopted On
the electric and cable ears. The con-
tention Is made that the Tenders in
use are Of little value as means Of
protection. Some Of them are 50
high or the ground that should the
car strike anyone he would not fall
on the fender and II a person should
lie PROSTATE on the track a fender
would pass over the body. IL is
argued that the company could pro-
cure better Tenders and should be
compelled 70 do SO, In many other
cities IN the United states fehdcrs
are IN use which can be lowered 60
the track and work successfully.
Manager Diekinsen's Views
General Manager Dickinson was
seen this morning on the fender
question. lie said; "Our Tenders are
all right The boy who was killed
yesterday fell upon the fender and
was lifted eff the fender when the
car stopped. He was not. as stated
fn one Of the papers, dragged 10
feet by the car. He WAS carried
probably that distance before the
car Was STOPPED. His death was. l
suppose. the result q his head strik-
Ing the car.
As 10 the tenders themselves. they
are as good as we can get. The city
council approved q the plan and
