MEADOW CITY HAPPENINGS
CONDUCTOR koEsELE's STORY.
He Says He Did Not Have Wait Or
ders and followed His Flag.

There seeming to be a conflict OF
| opinion as to the cause OF the recent
wreck near Waldo, and the alleged
responsibility OF Conductor Joe koe-
| belle by reason of his having wait or
] ders, an Optic reporter called on Mr..
| Rochelle at his home this morning and
asked him 10 briefly state his side
| Of the case, which he did, rs follows:
i Il sent my flagman on second No.
IL from Elota to Thornton with in
: structions to hold all trains at Thorn
ton until | arrived. When | got there
l learned that second No. 2 did not
stop at Thornton, but had carried my
flag to Waldo or Cerillos. | had no
wait orders. but was following my
; flag to Waldo or Cerillos.
MY fiagman should have held all
trains at Waldo d Cerillos. The flag
man was not let OFF at Thornton and
was carried by Waldo and left at Ger
illos. When the iagman reached
Cerillos, | understand, he notified
Engineer Reed that | was tagging
into Thornton.
when l reached Thornton | was
given a train order, but as a flag takes
precedence over q train order, | fol-
lowed my flag, which ! found at Ger
illos after the accident, the flagman
having allowed first 80 to get by him
and neither first 80 nor myself had
any idea Of anything wrong until we
struck on the curve. Had either train
been ten seconds either faster or
slower, we could easily have sighted
the other. but 1t happened just as
both were coming around the curve
and without any warning came to
gether."

1t Is astonishing to learn that the

erwise might be considered ladies' and

TO CLOSE SUNDAY THEATERS.
Plan on Foot to Stop Performances
in Every State in the Union
Actors Favor Move.

A plan is on foot to put an end to
Sunday theatricals throughout the en-
tire country, according to Rev. Dr'
Francis John Clay Moran, chairman
of the law committee of the Actors
Church alliance. He explained that
he is responsible for the raids sun
day night on some of the theaters.
1.-THE alliance remained inactive Tor
some time," he said, lowing to the
difficulty we met with in the last city
administration. We never could get
anyone to enforce the law. When the
reform administration got in 1uil
swing we thought it about time to
take some action.
"The crusade has not been instl-
tuted from religious standpoint, but
to give actors a day of rest. 1t is d.
rected, not against the performer, but
against the manager.
1--WE have drawn up a bill covering
Sunday theatrical performances, and
we are going to take immediate steps
to have it presented in every legisla-
ture in the country. We expect to
accomplish this end in two or three
years, so as to have a uniform law
covering such conditions in every
state"

DETERIoRATING IN PHYSIQUE.
Found That Large Percentage OF
British Workers Are Unfit for
Military Service.

The annual report of the inspector
general of the British army, which
has just been issued, confirms many
previous statements that the ply
sique of the British working class is
deteriorating.
The report says that one subject
which causes anxiety for the future as
regards recruiting is the gradual de-
terioration of the physique of the
working classes, from which the bulk
of recruits must always be drawn.
When it is remembered that the re-
CRITTERS are instructed not to submit
candidates for enlistment for med
ical examination unless they can rea-
sonably expect to pass as fit, one can
not but be struck by the percentage
namely, 32.22-considered by the med.
ical officers unfit>for service.
In reports from all the manufactur.
ing districts stress is invariably laid
upon the number of men medically re-
jected.
