to the rulings Of the court that locomo-
tives arc comprised within the term

plies to cars used in interstate, whether

parently settles every disputed point.
The government is determined upon
a strict enforcement OF these statutes,
which were enacted for the promotion
of the safety of the travelling public
in general, as we'll as for the protec-
ton of railway employees. Therefore,
any case of violation which is brought
to our attention by the Interstate Com
merce Commission or its inspectors, or
by other parties, must be promptly and
carefully investigated. and suit for the
statutory penalty be instituted and car
nestly pressed it, in your judgment, the
facts justify that course

A bottle OF the spirits was obtained

match was applied and the innammable
liquid blazed up. Shrieking with pain,
the man jumped up and rushed out of

agony they fed in all directions

unconscious on a snowdrift. His hair
was burned completely off and his fca-
