GET THE FACTS.

While the question of requiring the
railroads to establish gates at certain
crossings inside the city limits is I'M
der discussion, il might in justice to
the railroads be well TO fully and fair
" investigate the question. These
gates cannot be installed for nothing,
but will cost several hundred dollars
each. The first question to decide is:
Will such gates give the people any
more protection than they have now
The next is: Is there any cheaper or
more satisfactory way to the railroad
company, that the same amount of
meu claim that the gates do not pro-
tect any better than a fiagman. Con-
trary 60 general belief, the gates do
not raise and lower themselves at the
approach OF dan ger, hit are worked
BY man. II they raised or lowered
themselves, they would often come
down after wagon had gotten be-
tween them, OF might suddenly lower

der them. At any rate railroad men
claim that a dRgman at the crossings
IS of hs much, If not more benefit. TO
she public than the gates. While flag
men get negligent and careless, so
might be the man who works the gate.
With the gates, it is alleged, people
become incsutious, and ore likely not

MYSTERY
Rewards for the Solution Of the
Weston Traiedy Aggregate
$500,

WESTON, Mass, April although
three days have elapsed since Miss Ma
bel Page was murdered at her father
home in this town and rewards aggre-
eating 81, 500 have been offered for the
detection of her slayer, the mystery
appears more battling than ever.
Some one with whom she was per
sonally acquainted-some one in whom
she had condolences believed to have
been the murderer of Miss Page,
whose body was hacked in a dozen
places by a knife.
She was standing in front of a mir
ror in her bedroom, putting on her hat
when she was attacked. Directly back
of the mirror was the only door to the
room, and she must have seen her
slayer enter. Medical experts who
have examined her body say the first
wound Miss Page received was a stab
in the back Had the person who en-
tered the room been stranger, the
police argue, Miss Page would have
rushed from the mirror as when she
was struck down she was only partly
dressed.
Everything about the room seems to
prove that there was no struggle be-
tween the murdered girl and her as
sassin Not even a chair was over
turned, although there We're several
between the door and the mirror. Be
fore she went to the room to dress
she had been told that her brother
Harold had been injured and was in
the Massachusetts General hospital.
General Jophanus H. Whitney of the
state police. who Is in charge of the in
vestigation, has stated that no devel-
Opments which would point to posi-
BILE solution Of the case have yet come
out. The case seems to be the most
mysterious that has confronted the
police in Massachusetts in many years.
Since ii was determined that Miss
Page was murdered and not the vic
tim of a suicidal impulse neither mo-
tive nor clew has been established
Several theories have been advanced,
but all that were in any way promising
| have been disproved.
The police still believe that the crime
was committed by some one acquaint-
ed with the habits Of the Page family,
but all the members of the household
have accounted satisfactorily for every
moment of their time on the day of the
| tragedy.
All day long curious persons loitered
| In the vicinity of the Page home on
South avenue. The police, however,
kept the crowds moving, and entrance
TO the premises was forbidden.
A thorough search of the woods and
fields in the vicinity of the house has
been made by the police in a futile eff
fort to find the weapon used by the
murderer
