The Dighton E1Writing Rock.n

At Dighton, Mass, lying well out in the tidewater of Taunton river, is a rock of great antiquarian interest. It is a granite powder about eleven feet long and five feet in greatest height and is known throughout New England as the "Dighton writing rock" One side of the powder Is almost perfectly smooth, as though worn by glacial ac- tion On this flat surface in clear cut outlines are dozens of characters, hiero- glyphics and pictures, chiseled by some prehistoric engraver The archaeolo- gists have never been able to decipher these characters, but they are of un- doubted antiquity.

PROTECTS BOTH ENDS OF THE TRAIl
stations Are Notified When Train Is
Approaching and Crossings Are
Automatically Guarded BE-
fore Train Reaches Them.

During the years that L. g. Stotts Of
Perry, Ia, was working as a conductor
for the Milwaukee railroad he did not
spend all his time punching tickets but
kept an eagle eye out to see where ne could
make an improvement in the running of
the trains. with the result that he has had
patented a block system that bids fair to
revolutionize the train service on the rail-
roads of the country.
Mr.. Stotts has organized a company of
which he is vice president, p. f. OCon-
nor president, H, c. Stotts secretary and
treasurer and B. T. Lindley manager,
known as the Stotts-Logsdon-S Signal and
Equipment company and has opened head
quarters I'm Omaha in the old Dewey &
Stone building on Farnam street, where he
has equipped complete railroad system
with tracks, cars, stations, in fact COM
plete railroad
The train on this railroad is operated by
electricity as are also the blocks and sig
mails for which patents have been allowed
and issued, The model shows the only
signal device in operation which pro-
tects the rear and head end OF a train
and also shows the direction IN which the
train is running. The signals are auto
matte. operated by electricity without the
aid OF man. The system notifies the sta
ton ahead in advance by bell in the depot
that the train has left the last station and
also protects the train while inside the
switching limit both front and rear by a
signal on each side Of the station. showing
danger on each side OF the main line
while the train remains on the main line.
Should train go on siding to clear the
signals would 60 10 clear, providing the
switches were adjusted to the main line
The same operation is made with signals

NO IMMEDIATE SUIT FOR INHERITANCE IA

Judge slabaugh feels quite elated over the
decision of the state supreme court sus-
tanning the inheritance tax law.
1T is as / expected" he said. THE
courts ruling, as outlined in The Bee this
morning, is directly in line with the con-
tention of our brief. We feel that there
could have been no other result under the
circumstances. Pending a motion for a re
hearing. which / rather expect will be mace
as a matter OF course, the county attorney S
office will not take any further steps FOR
the appointment OF appraisers There need
be no great hurry In the matter, as the law
provides for interest on all moneys involved,
and that viii make so much moro to 20
into the permanent road fund of the county
in the final outcome.
There was peculiar feature about this
inheritance tax decision. Some time ago,
through the attorney general, I asked for
a few DAYS more time in which TO file a
reply brief TO the answer OF the attorneys
On the other side This morning I received
Two letters, one notifying me that ! could
have until November l TO file our reply
brief and the other notifying me that the
writ OF mandamus against the county
Judge was allowed. However. airs well that
ends Well"
Judge slabaugh also felt Endorsed by the
decision holding the anti-cigarette law "a
he good. The county attorneys ONCE had
resisted the granting OF the writ OF habeas
corpus discharging John Alperson from Gus
tody, and when Judge Day overruled theiI
contention and set Alperson at liberty
Judge slabaugh at once took an appeal

Superintendent Davidson does not agree
with DR.. Freeda NJ. Lankton that the public
schools are to blame for race suicide and
imperfect physical development OF Amer

the use Of the public school system that
sometimes causes bad results. He says:
As to the imperfect development of our

that there must be some ground for the

devices will work on double, as we'll as

Many Of the local railroad managers have
examined the devices, as we'll as expert
signal men and no faults were found by

the railroads are considering the proposition
of buying the system and installing the

General Superintendent Plat OF the New

scented the block signal devices Of this

ing held In Washington last spring, said
in an address before that body that no
system of blocking would be complete until
the trains were blocked in front and be-
