A railway official of prominence
was quoted in the Cleveland Leader
recently as saying that it will not do
for the railway companies to depend
too much upon mechanical safety ap-
pliances. Back of them all must be
the intelligent human, who takes
nothing for granted, but in all cases
of doubt pursues the safe course. The
words are wisdom itself. It may be
suggested, however, that the human
factor can be practically eliminated
by loss of sleep, overwork, too long
retention on duties making heavy de-
mands on brain, nerves, sight and
hearing

Public school teaching, says an ex.
change, does not look like a hard job
to outsiders. School begins at $50
and closes at 400, with II hours of at
noon and a half hour in recesses.
That means working day of five and
one.half hours. OF course, some time
must be spent in study and prepara-
tion, but even this does not make the
work harder than that of the average
business man. No, the teacher is not
worn out by overwOrk. 1t is the ner-
vous strain of the school room that
kills. From the morning of the Hrst
day of school in the fall to the close

he possesses to help the scholars, to
teach them those things that will be
to their advantage. 1t 10 resp0nsi-

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.--All signs al
police headquarters in Mulberry street
point to the biggest police upheaval
the city has seen in a long while. III
deed. it Is predicted by many that
when the big shakeup comes it will
surpass in extent anything of it's kind
in the history of the force as at pres
ent constituted.
1t will include the placing on trial
of perhaps one inspector and fifteen
captains, force the retirement of sew
eral precinct commanders, a general
sweeping out of old men and old
methods, and the installation of a
newer order of things.
If the reports are true Commissioner
McAdoo has been brought face to face
with the fact that only a small number
of precinct commanders are worthy of
his confidence and he intends to get rid,
II he can, of those that are unworthy.
McAdoo also took steps today toward
forming new detective force to keep
tab on the police exclusively. There
have been roundsmen to watch the
patrolmen and sergeants to look after
the roundsmen, and each Inspector has
had a small staff to give him lines
on the captains in his district, but with
all of this McAdoo has received much
misinformation.

excitement over an incident which oc-
Cured last night during revival SER
vice. Rev. James McCarey was con-
Quoting protracted meeting, and just
before the congregation was dismissed
began a fervent exhortation to sinners
to repent. While he was talking Rich
ard Bossy, a confessed unbeliever in
religion, stepped into the church. AS
Mr. McCarey's eyes rested on the in
fidel he exclaimed: "There is one un-
believer in this congregation, a sinner
who cannot be saved from death un-
less he becomes a Christian
AS the words were uttered there was
an exclamation of pain from Mr..
Bossy. and he fell to the floor, utter
ing a single word, "Oh!" Members of
the congregation ran to him. but he
was dead when they reached his side.
The greatest CONSERVATION fell upon
the people in the, church, and as the
news spread over the town every wo-
man and child came rushing to the
building. Bossy never went to church,
and how he came to step in last night
is mystery.

AND A JUSTICE
BILL TO BE REPORTED TODAY
Legislative judiciary Committee De-

Junketine Trips Subject Of
Much Argument
BILL TO BE REPORTED TODAY
Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17.--Los An
geles county will have three new supe-
rior judges and an additional justice
of the peace. This is now the program
1t having been definitely determined
by the legislative judiciary committee
this afternoon. A report will be made
to the assembly tomorrow morning,
and within sixty days, unless some-
thing unforeseen happens to prevent
the bill providing for the positions will
have become effective. 1t is not ex-
pected that Governor Pardee will an
nounce the appointees to the newly
created judgeships for thirty or forty
days.
Investigation of the charges against
Judge Torrance of San Diego will be-
gin tomorrow afternoon before the
special assembly committee. The COM
mltteemen are as yet Undetermined
whether it will be necessary for them
to go to San Diego or bring witnesses
here. Immediately after organizing the
place of trial will be settled upon and
Judge Torrance notified.
While it has not been given out
as to whether the proceedings will be
held behind closed doors, it is rumored
that they will be held openly.
The various committees of both
houses of the legislature are busily en-
gagged in considering the bills which
have been referred to them for reports.
After a long conference this after
noon the agricultural committee de-
cided to bring in favorable report on
the bill carrying an appropriation OF
$3.50, 900 for farm to be conducted
under the auspices of the university
of California.
Particular interest is now centered In
the senate of the state Legislature on
the effort that has. thus far been sup
ported by minority Of the members,
to put through resolutions providing
for the usual junketing trips Today
propositions to send junketing commit
tees to both the northern and southern
portions of the state met with defeat
by narrow margins, failing to secure
the necessary .tNo-tIiIuS WIZ.
When the junketing program was
first presented in the upper house 1T
came as surprise anud a. majority
of the members who had not been asked
as to whether they would care to take
a visit about the state or not promptly
voted down the resolution.
Today also the program had not been
we'll enough planned to carry the reso-
buttons.
1t is highly probable that further
attempts will be made to get the jun
keting committees started before the
present legislative week is concluded.
When the plan is again tried 1T Is more
than likely that instead of sending out
large committees, the investigating
bodies will be broken into smaller num-
bers of committeeman, who will be
given the opportunity of meeting at
designated points.
There seems to have been less rivalry
among the members of the assembly
as to the junketing sinecures, and the
committee appointed today will shtart
in a few days to investigate the prisons
and reformatories of the state.
