Lives Lost on Ia lroads in 1904

For the whole year of 1904 the
number of lives lost on the Ameri
can railroads was 1873, and of
these 526 were of passengers. In
view of the fact that the English
railroads have been able to report
a whole year without the loss of
the life of single passenger this
rate of mortality is positively
frightful. The superiority of the
American roads to all others in
many respects is well established,
\but our showing with reference to
Aoss of life calls for radical i'm
provements in their management.

FATHER SAYS HIS DAUGHTER
WAS UNJUsTLy AWARDED
$500.
Conscience Stricken, As He Says
John r. Owens Makes an
Affidavit.

John X. owens, Wuoec u""S NV
had been awarded a verdict Tor
$4,000 against the Louisville Rail
way Company, makes a most re-
markable statement in an affidavit
filed in the case. He states in Ell
feet that his daughter was not en-
titled TO any damages against the
Street Car Company.
The affiant says that for the past
nine years he has lived with his
wife and family at 1885 West Ken
tucky street, and that he is car
nenter. The accident is said to
have happened in February, 1904,
though the affiant alleges that his
daughter went to school every day
>and Sunday-school from January
Vi 1904. until about April ID. Then
she was i'll for the four months fol
lowing and DIR. Mulvey, who at
tended her, said she had sciatic
rheumatism. Afliant says he heard
nothing about the street car accl-
dent until after the illness, when il
was suggested as possible cause.
However he says he refused to
bring the suit because he had nc
reason to believe from what he
knew and what the doctor said to
MIN that mere was any ground 1oi
action.
The suit was brought in the
name of Fanny Owens, the girls
elder sister, and the father now
swears that he knew nothing about
it until it was on trial. "Since
conclusion of the trial" the afiiani
continues. "this matter has SO
proved upon his mind and con
stantly annoyed him until he felt il
his duty to go to some one connect
ed with the street car company and
tell them the facts set out in the
affidavit"
Affiant declares that last week
he went to the office of j. 7. Funk,
superintendent of the Railway
Company, with intention of relat-
ing the circumstances but he found
Mr. Funk out. Again on April IA
he alleges to have gone TO the Of
flee of Mr.. Devoe, of the construc-
ton department to tell him. Mr..
Deboe was out and he told Mr..
Harry Towles. In company with
Mr.. Towles he went TO the office OF
Fairleigh, Straus q Fairleigh where
the affidavit was prepared.
From the first the Louisville
Railway Company denied that any
such accident happened as that in
which the Owens girl alleged she
was injured. The suit was for
J SIS, OOO. The girl, who is about
fourteen years of age, could, to ali
annearances, walk with the assist
ance of crutches. Her father in
his affidavit says that so far as he
knows she is only suffering from
sciatic rheumatism. But he and
his wife have been suffering from
this complaint, he says, for a num-
Der of years, and they are third

Many Horses Come To Lexington.

Racing is going to be revived on
splendid scale at Lexington this
spring. The famous old Kentucky
Association course, the Oldest and
most famous of all the tracks in
America, was purchased year ago
by Capt. S. S. Brown, the Pitts
burg Coal King, who has spent
100000 to put it in first class
shape. The historic stakes which
horsemen used to consider it such
an honor to win, have been revived
and have filled splendidly. AL.
ready applications have been re-
ceived for more horses than can be
accommodated with the stable
room at the track, which means
that the purse races will have
splendid fields. The people of
Central Kentucky will turn out en-
masse to witness the racing at
Lexington. The meeting is May
3rd TO 9th. Reduced rates will be
given by all the railroads.

License Bureau Inspectors Tell Tales OF

In his campaign against the remnants
Of the padrone system Commissioner Of
Licenses Heating has caused the arrest
Of Michael MAroni, living at 20 Baxter
street, who deals extensively in railroad
Aborers and Is said to be the biggest
padrone left In the country. Running an
employment agency without a license was
the charge on which Maroni was ARA igned
yesterday in the Tombs police court but
this, according TO the inspectors, Is only
the least Of his sins.
Maroni, they say, holds forth in the back
room Of a saloon. He has no regular office
and pays no license, not so much through
thrift as because he wants TO keep his opera
tons dark. He delivers Italian labor in
punches 10 the railroads. For this service
he taxes the aborers from 81 to $40 head,
according TO how much he can make them
stand for. II AZ also his custom TO charge
the men 81 a month for sleeping In cars
provided free for the purpose by the rail
road companies, He turns many an honest
penny, the inspectors allege, by charging
90 or rs cents apiece for the use Of sLoyels
and picks belon ging TO the railroad COM
pany and by them furnished free 10 the men.
All this Il Of course done without the con-
nivance Of the company. Further, 1t IA
