The Interstate Commerce COM
mission Has Some New
Ideas to Exploit.
1t Is Insisted That. the Bottoms
of Passenger Coaches Be
rIade Stronger.

Washington, d. c., Feb. I3-Under
the supervision of the interstate COM
mission bill is being prepared which,
If it becomes law, will compel railroad
companies to build stronger coaches
and other passenger cars, with the ex-
ception of sleepers. The bill will be
introduced by Representative. Esch of
Wisconsin, and will provide that all
coaches and cars for passenger service
shall be constructed with steel sleepers
and steel sillS.
The American Railway Association
has been asked to submit details which
would be practical from a railroad
standpoint, and every care sftaken to
have the measure such as will effect
greater safety in construction. Before
beginning the draft of the bill Repre-
sentative Esch made long investiga-
ton, going thoroughly into the history
of car construction. He conferred also
with government officials who express
sed the opinion that something should
be done to prevent the further con-
struction of light railway coaches
which either telescope or break like
egg shells in the event of wreck,
thereby causing large death and
casualty rate.
1t is asserted that the immunity from
death and injury which passengers in
sleeping cars enjoy rs due largely to
steel underframe construction, and it
is understood that the construction OF
the present-day sleeping car will be
taken as standard. In this event all
day coaches, smoking cars, buffet cars,
chair and parlor cars will have to be
built with extension steel beams and
possibly be provided with steel plat
forms and nontelescopable device.
In view OF the unusual number of
lives sacrificed in railway wrecks the
last year the urgent need Of some such
legislation is appreciated. Al the same
time tie bib viii uadoniJtedis 1--WE tils.
railroads a reasonable length Of time
with which to comply with the proyis-
ions OF the measure. This time will be
sufficient to permit of all old equip
ment wearing out, but it will also pro-
vide that all cars to be constructed
after the passage OF the measure shall
be OF the required standard. 1t is the
purpose to place the enforcement of
the measure in the hands Of the inter
state commission, as is the case with
the enforcement OF the automatic coup
ler and other measures requiring the
use of safety devices.

prosecution will be ready at that time.
As i'm the former trial the chief wit
nesses for the state are to be brought
from Delaware and upon the time of
their arrival here depends the date for
the beginning Of the trial.
Though FIVE years have elapsed since
the alleged crime Of Mrs Botkin was
committed the details brought out at
the trial were of such an unusual and
sensational character that the case is
still fresh in the public memory. Iii
was one evening in August, 1903, that
Harry Pennington, a grandson of ex-
Congressman Pennington of Delaware
brought from the postoffice at Dover,
Del, dainty box of chocolate bon
boi1s, addressed to Mrs. p. Dunning,
daughter of the ex-congressman. She
invited friends to eat sWeetmeats,

Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane, her
sister, became very sick after eating
thescandy and died soon in great agony.
The physicians pronounced it case Of
arsenic poisoning. An analysis of the
candy showed a considerable quantity
Of arsenic iii its comp position. The gov
crnor of Delaware offered a reward Of
$1,000 for the conviction of the sender
