well that his train was occupying
1900 feet, or Mt least thirty three
car lengths, of main track west OF
yard limits and on No. 46's time
from Merna to Broken Bow, and at
the time of the collision he had
made no move to put out danger
signals.
1t occurs to us that a semaphore
as described in the Company's book
of rules, or some other system of
signals could be used at this point
to guard against accidents in the
future.

utes after the conductor had re-
port from the dispatcher that 10
was on time. When this report
was received stating that 40 was
on time, the conductor immedi-
ately took steps to clear the
main line for 40. The testimony
shows that lad the 80 cars been
pulled east to the east end of the
switch upon which the IS cars
were placed, that the capacity of
the engine was not sufficient to
back the 33 cars together with
the IS cars up grade into the
clear on the passing track. That
when the report was received
that 40 was on time the rear
brakeman Immediately returned
to the caboose of train No. 4S to
take such steps as might be nee
essary to protect the train. That
within 5 minutes more of time
train 4S would have cleared the
main line and been upon the pas
sing track and that the company
rule is that minutes before the
leaving of 40 from Broken Bow
the track must be clear. These
findings constitute the facts rs
disclosed by the testimony which
contribute to the immediate
cause of the wreck.
We further find that the crews
on each train, with the exception
of the engineer and fireman on 4S,
had not been overworked' That
prior to starting east with their re-
spective trains they had had from
l6 to % hours rest and had been in
service when the wreck occurred,
the crow on train 46 about 8 hours,
and the crew on train 4S about Is
hours. That the engineer and fire.
man of train As had been in service
about % hours, but we connot in
any way see where they contributed
to the accident.
Upon the indirect and remote
causes which contributed to the
wreck and caused the loss of life of
the four men above named, the
jury are unable to agree AS to
placing the blame of the wreck and
the l)ss of life incident thereto, up
on any one individual or upon the
crew of either train, there is a divi-

From the evidence given, it is
our opinion that T, Kelley, c. F.

Several Morgantown attorneys
for corporations that were sued
on mere technicalities before the
election are as mad as wet hens.
They have received notices from
Attorney General Romeo ii. Freer
that they must call and settle for
the corporations which they rep
resent, else the companies IN
question will forfeit their char
tiers. Mr.. Freer demands a fee of
$25 in each case. There are r.
600 corporations in the list and
the total amount of fees forthcom-
ing, if the money is collected, will
be 100000. The attorneys have
written to the Governor, the At
torney General and other Off
Gals protesting nightly against
such high-handed' robbery, but
unless there is a change in the
official sky at Charleston, they
will have to dig up. The attor-
neys characterize the proceedings
as outrageous, "preposterous, y
"unbearable," and "highway
robbery
The suits are brought on mere
technicalities against reputable
corporations. Failure to report
the election of a president, the
name of the attorney in fact, by
laws and similar details form the
grounds for the suits. The attor-
neys claim to believe that the At
torney General will be unable to
collect the fees, but for all OF this

SCherr and Dawson
Come TO the Front

they are extremely nervous and
riled over the situation.
In it's issue of October Is, the
New Dominion gave a complete
list of the Morgantown corpora
lions involved in the suit. In
the same issue an interview with
Auditor Scherr appeared, in
which he stated that the suits
would be held in allegiance until
January and that there was little
possibility of the proceedings GO
ing further. At that time the
New Dominion gave warning that
the suits would be pushed as soon
as the election was over and that
the corporations would have to
put up the coin. Ask any Of the
Morgantown attorneys represent
ing corporations whether or not
this is true and satisfy yourself
as to the correctness of the pre-
diction. They did not wait until
the official returns of the election
were in. They wanted only to be
satisfied of Dawson's election. The
New Dominion warned the people
that certain provisions of the new
tax laws would be carried out.
The election returns showed
how many disregarded the warn
ing. These predictions will be
found to be as true as as the other
one. The bringing of the suits
does not seem to be a "Democrat-
ic lie" neutrality-suspicious. New
Dominion.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Strange Method by Which the Japanese
Divide Time.

You know, boys and girls, We
have our day divided up into TWEEN
ty-four hours, beginning at II and
ending at II.
But the japanese divide their
time into twelve parts. There are
always six parts belonging to the
night and six to the day. The day
begins at sunrise and ends at sunset.
And, no matter whether the day be
long and the night short or the day
short and the night long. each one
always consists of six parts.
You know there are two hands
to our clock. There are two hands
also to the Tokyo clock. but the
difference between their clock and
ours is in the numbers on the face
of the clock.
Our numbers stay exactly where
the clockmaker put them in the
first place, but in the Tokyo clock
the numbers can be showed from one
position to another by the man who
owns the clock.
The sunrise number is always
moved to keep pace with the time
of the sunrise, and the same thing
is done with the sunset number, anC
then the five numbers between them
are moved until they divide the day
into six exactly equal parts.
So you see it makes no difference
to the japanese people whether the
days are long or short. They can al
ways make their clocks suit The
length of the days.
They do not count l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
ETC., as We do; but, beginning with
9, they count 9, s, :, 6, 5, 4, 3.
