The Anacostia Accident.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In regard to Thursday mornings COLLISION
between steam and electric cars i'm Anacos-
tia. l would like to say a few words I
have daily expected such an accident as
has happened, though am much surprised
to find that 1t was caused by lack of sand
and slippery tracks. During the last two
months / have made about sixty round
trips over the spot. 1 started early to take
mental notes of affairs at the crossing
Three times. not including tonight CThurs-
day, the electric cars came to a stand
still at sensible distance from the cross
ing, while the conductor went ahead as
lookout. But half of other times the fen
ders were too close to the steam tracks to
be called in safe distance" The rest Of
the times the tenders. and in a dozen cases
half Of the front car. were over the steam
road track before coming to a standstill.
Ii is lovely, indeed, to be stalled half across
the track. Twice we lost the current. My
experience is that the average conductor
drops off the front platform as the motor
car touches the crossing. circulates his
arms and voice. and remounts the car as
1t reaches the other side. Evidently the
conductor has the best chance. Several
times the motormen forgot TO slacken at
all on the south trip. / intend this to be a
distinct criticism Of the slackness Of en-
ployeS In general at this crossing and not
| to make unjust reflection on the conduct
or the unfortunates in the accident, which
l did not witness. The preceding observa-
tIoHS, HoWeVeT are from personal knowl-
edge, and are well borne out by others who
travel the route. There are no longer only
two trains day at this crossing II
one will read the papers he will find that
the Anacostia yards are unusually busy,
owing to extensive building operations
above the town This grade crossing is
going to be serious question until the
Anacostia bridge, approaches and electric
road are raised above their present grade.
The crossing needs a flagman The acci-
dent would have paid his wages for
a year. The houses are too close to the
road to allow Of good observation without
standing dangerously close to the steam
road. If the cars will stop at a suitable
distance, as they do in the city streets,
there may be reason for stopping, but
rather than hang fire on the track. as is
often the case / would like the motorman
70 put on full speed and jump the chasm.
Certainly nothing is gained by stopping on
the track: The train has come and got
MIN, and only unusual luck gives the en-
pioyes good excuse for what in ninety
nine other cases might have been negii-
gence. There should be no lack Of sand"
this fits most OF the Washington roads).
as the tracks are often much more slippery
than they were Thursday morning
