RAILROADS KILLED 8,79s.
Over Fifty Thousand Employees and

er than train accidents and 3.542 in
jured; and 2,463 employees killed in other

CALIFORNIA COAST LINE.
south Pacific May Build Road Down
Into Peninsula.

Into Peninsula.
Los Angeles, Oct. 25.=''Who will
build the railroad down the lower Cali
fornia coast?'' is a question that has
been asked frequently of late in rail-
road circles. RumOr has it that the
Southern Pacific company is planning
to construct the line that has been so
confidently counted upon.
It is argued that the building of the
Panama canal absolutely necessitates
the construction of a line from San
Diego to Cape Lucas, or some other
extremely southern point to connect
with mail and passenger steamers
from New York and other eastern
points. The Southern Pacific has GER
tain points of vantage over any other
road which might aspire to build the
line, as it already has a branch road
running from Benson, Arizona, on the
main line of the Texas division to
Guaymas, on the gulf. By extending
the coast line to La Paz and putting in
operation a line of steamers to ply be-
tween that point and Guaymas, the
company would be given a short cut
to all inland points in the southwest.
Again, a short section of road would
connect the coast line with the line of
the company now in operation at
CaIexicO, the Imperial valley, and q
short extension noEthWard would span
the distance between San Diego and
Los Angeles, giving the company a
line the entire length of the Pacific
coast

Topeka Nan Inyents Danger
Signal Device.
Designed to Make Impossible
Collisions Between Trains.
HEPATENTS GRANTED
A. L. Ruthven, Inventor, Says
It viii Announce Open Switch.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Patents have been granted recently
to Alfred L. Ruthven who lives at No.
40 West Fourth street on an inven-
ton which he claims will make head
on and rear-end collisions between
trains impossible if it is installed on
railroads, and experts who have seen
a working model of the invention be-
lieve that it will do all that Mr. Ruth
ven claims for it,
The invention relates to danger sig
mails which may be carried on the
trains themselves preferably on the
locomotive where the engineer will be
warned, and which are arranged to
give the danger signal whenever two
trains are on the same track within a
dangerous running distance of each
other. 1t provides a system which has
no meeting points at which approach
ing trains could collide without due
warning, and provides a method
whereby the signal win indicate IN
which direction the other train is run
ming.
1t consists Of a series of two cir
cults carried by four wires, although
/ they could be carried by any other
suitable means as through rails. If
carried by wires these would be laid
over the ties between the rails. Each
at points of insulation the points be-
ing two miles apart or at any other
suitable distance so that there would
be two series of overlapping cir
/ cults.
Two sets of contracting devices de-
pend from the engine making a con-
nection between both series of cir
cults and the signaling apparatus in
the cab This apparatus consists of an
electric bell and an incandescent lamp
and is operated by dry batteries.
It is clear of course that the circuits
are all normally open and that they
would become closed by any metallic
connection between the two wires of
any circuit presently engaged by the
/ contracting devices
If two trains approach each other
and come upon the same block the
signal will be sounded in each train
because of the proper connection of
the batteries in series. and in such
1 case there would be a ring or a flash
of the light in both engine cabs, thus
warning the engineers that a train is
! approaching from ahead. If, how
ever two trains We're upon the same
| block and going in the same direction,
the apparatus would work practically
the same through the automatic re-
versing of the poles.
Mr. Ruthven says that the installa-
ton of his invention by railroad
would cost a great deal less than any
other signal system. and speaking OF
the invention he said:
by overlapping circuits it is inn
possible for two trains to meet at a
junction point between two adjacent
circuits without the danger signal be-
( ing sounded. AS it is clear that the
closing of the circuit will give the
( danger signal, it is also clear that
an open switch may be made to give
the signal by causing it to auto
/ matically close the CIRCUIT when
/ opened, and the same of a railway
crossing or any other place.
This contact or connection may
be made automatically or it may be
made by hand to stop the train"

NOT WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Russell Harding, of Erie, Disagree.
With ROOseveIt's Plan.

Cincinnati, Oct. 25-Russell Harding.
the newly elected first vice president of
the Erie railroad, declares that he con-
siders the proposed regulation of rail-
road rates by the federal government,
as urged by President Roosevelt in his
speech at Raleigh, n. c., utterly inn
practicable, if not really impossible"
s'I have read President Roosevelt's
speech very carefully" said Mr.. Hard
ing, "and I cannot find wherein he sug-
gests a feasible plan for the better
ment of railroad rates or the more
equitable adjustment Of them"
Mr.. Harding said that no doubt the
presidents ideas were good in theory,
but they would fall short in the matter
of practical execution.
saThe government would almost have
to go into the railroad business before
it could attempt to regulate rates" he
said. ''HaW any law can overcome nat
ural conditions is something I cannot
see
1T would certainly be a complex
thing for the government to attempt
the regulation of all the railroad rates

MIR. SPENCER COMMENTS.
Says Presidents Speech at Raleigh
Shows Change of Attitude.

Shows Change OF Attitude.
Washington oct. 25.-samuel Spen-
Ger. president of the Southern railway
made brief stop in Washington the
other night on his way south. In ex-
pressing his views on President ROose-
Velt's recent speech on railroad legis-
lation at Raleigh, n. O., Mr.. Spencer,
who has taken a prominent part in
representing the railroads attitude on
the rate question, said;
1.-THE presidents speech indicates
that he is not disposed now to insist
that the power over rates which he ia
vors should be exercised by the inter
state commerce commission, but by
an administrative body Again in the
Raleigh speech the president advo-
Gates that the administrative body
shall have power after complaint and
hearing to fix only maximum rate,
not an absolute rate, unalterable
thereafter by the carrier, as provid-
ed for in the Esch-Townsend bill.
This apparently follows the opinion of
the attorney general of May 5. in
which it was held that congress could
constitutionally empower d commits
sion to fix maximum rates which it
regards as just and reasonable.

of the trains are limited and stop only
