JUDGMENT MAY BE wORTHLEsS.-The
creditors of the defunct partnership of Fitch,
Satterwhite, Campbell Thompson were
given Judgment by Judge Hebbard yesterday

from its individual members. The place of
business of the firm Is not given in the last

make one final effort TO locate it before ADAM

set at safety for clear track. In this in
stance also the switchman was trusted
employe OF unimpeachable record. The
fact was that new interlocking switch had
been substituted for an old one and the sig
nails by which they went to safety We're dis
connected. when in proper working order
they would have been at danger until the
switchman threw over the interlocking
lever. The workman stopped for dinner
before completion of the job, and the switch
man was informed that he must by hand
move the switch to make the main track
clear and safe for this occasion. He under
stood the situation perfectly, as he acknowl-
edged at the coroner's inquest, but the force
of habit was too strong for him. He had be-
come a creature of habit-an automaton. As
the hour and train approached the old habit
possessed him. He pulled on the lever
which. ordinarily, would have set the
switch properly and the signals at safety
at one and the same time and stepped out
on the track to see if the signals had
properly responded as he had been accus-
toned to do for years. OF course, being
disconnected they We're at safety and the
switch opened for the yard. Result. q
frightful crash. He had been too long at
this particular job. Similar accidents
may occur to engineers by being kept on
the same run. To know the road is as i'm
portant as for a pilot to know the river he
navigates. But the condition of his run
should be changed often that he can
take nothing for granted.
THE truth is that engineers are daily
them successfully. Then there is varia-
ton and an accident follows. Engineers
are not so much to blame for doing so as
would appear in the statement of the fact,
though 1t be violation of established rules
and sometimes of law. Superior authori-
ties hold them rigidly to the making of
schedule time, and caution which sends
them behind such schedule time receives
severe condemnation of superiors-if it be
not caution that is condemned the failure to
make time Is Excuses don't go, and the
mans chances for advancement largely de-
pend on his record for time making. So it
comes about that If from any one of the
hundred causes that may occur to occasion
loss of speed the engineer finds himself
losing time he will make strong efforts to
make time at scheduled points even II
thereby he has to run at warning signals
In the expectancy that they will change to
white every instant.
Not until the theory has become sacred
law that the safety of a train is of greater
consequence than the making of schedule
time will one case of railroad accidents be
diminished, and not until responsible rail-
road operations become convinced that the
human mind can do automatic work I'M
consciously through repetition of the same
functions, eludes the same conditions at
the same set time long continued will an
other class of railroad accidents be dimin-
ished
There should be frequent transfers of
sWitchmen before the automatic stage is
reached and changes of runs for engineers"

Columbia Theater.

The much-taIked-of sex against sex"
play, Sowing the Wind written by sgd
ney Grundy, has been selected for presenta-
ton this week by the popular organization
at the Columbia Theater. Sowing the
Wind had its original production about
ten years ago by Charles Frohmans Empire
Theater Company, which al that time in
cluded Henry Miller Viola Allen. William
Faversham, w. II. Thompson, w. H.
Crompton, Cyril Scott, May Robson, Kitty
Chatham and others. When first produced
the piece made a strong impression. and it
ran for an entire season at the Empire
Theater, New York. The success of the
original production induced Mr. Frohman to
organize a second company, which included
Mr. Guy Standing. now leading man at the
Columbia, and the two organizations visited
all the important cities in the country. The
play is regarded as strong one, flied with
striking scenes and impressively. dramatic
climaxes.

strength of the Columbia company will be

FOLLY IN WORKING
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES


Some day in the fulness of time and the
spread of intelligence the railroad operator
will learn the folly of continuing man on
one occupation or line of duty until he has
become a mere automaton-a creature of
habit performing his functions with UNI
conscious cerebration-a mere machine
which, like other machines. will slip cog
or break bearing" said a local railroad
official today to a reporter.
"a train flying along at thirty forty
miles an hour is suddenly diverted from the
main track on which all the signals are
set for safety, to a switch siding with fatal
consequences. The fault is the switchman.
The statement goes out that 1t is most
astonishing since the so guilty was
trusted employe, whose record was most eX-
cellent. The statement, the fault and the
accident are alike true. For years. no doubt,
the switchman had been making his record
good, gaining increased confidence from his
employers by making no mistakes, and yet
for half the time, no doubt, he had been
performing his duties so automatically that
he was barely conscious of his acts and all
sense of responsibility deadened. few

trusted employee who had occupied his post
for many vars, never meeting with a mis-
hap, standing by his switch, suddenly and
just a fast train was about to pass the
switch reversed 1t after having properly
set 1t for the passage of the train. Ques-
toned, subsequent to the accident, upon his
error, which was attended with loss of
life he declared he had done so in a panic
following sudden fear that had possessed
him that he had set the switch the wrong
way Persistent inquiry elected the fact
that for years he had daily performed the
act of setting the switch at that hour until
1t was as natural to him the taking of
his breakfast, naturally that he was
hardly conscious of it. Yet as he stood be-
side his switch and watched the laundering
approach of the mighty force he was seized
with sudden and irexplicable realization
of his responsibility, questioning as to
whether he had performed his daily occur
ring function rightly; with a conclusion in
a panic that he had moved the switch the
wrong way, whereupon he actually did that
which he ought not to have done. Had this
mans occupation been varied or had he
been continued in one line only so long a
time that the sense of responsibility with
witch he undertook his duty had not wasted
away in passing to the automatic perform
ance of duty such frame of mind as he
found himself In at a critical and fatal
moment would not have possessed him.

In substantial manner the Washington
theatergoers who have remained in the
city are indorsing the judgment of the
proprietors of the Columbia Theater in Sc
lecting for the midsummer season at that
playhouse interesting, high-class plays and
a thoroughly capable company of actors to
perform them. Zach succeeding week the
stock company seems to gain in popular
favor, and by it's finished Interpretation of
the plays produced is making the engage
ment one of enjoyment to the warm wealth
er audiences. During the past week. in the
presentation of Mrs. Danes Defense"
society play that appeals more forcibly and
sincerely 10 the interest of the audience
than the usual production of that charac-
ter, the members of the stock company, In
dividually and a whole, increased the
favorable impression made by their pre-
vious performances. That the standard es-
tablished thus far will be sustained is
promised by the performance in prospect
for this week.
Strength has been added to the COM
pany In the person OF Miss Charlotte Wal

ton, who made her first appearance with
the company Monday night in TIE role of
Mrs. Dane. On her former appearances

K Ha cketts productions she gave evidence
of capabilities equal to more rretentious
undertakings, and her engagement with the
local stock company aroused pleasant an
ucipations among the theatergoers. Dur
Ing the past week Miss Walkers work has
verified the high expectations entertained
concerning her prior to her joining the COM
pany. She possesses a charming PERSONAL
fty. voice of pleasant tone, and dramatic
temperament in degree a combination of
qualities not often found. In her portrayal
of the unfortunate woman with a past she
manifested an intelligent appreciation of
the peculiar demands of the part and her
appeal to the sympathy of the auditors was
effective, causing them to sincerely pity
the woman whose violation of the laws
of society they could not condone Miss
Walker expresses strong emotions natural
~ and convincingly, and there is an abb
sence of theatric methods in her work
Judging from her first weeks work here
Miss Walker will doubt establish her
self high in the favor of local theater-
goers.
