PRISON STRIPES For BURTON

Burton. who has at last exhausted all
legal technicalities and will begin to
serve the sentence imposed when he
was found guilty of using his official
position as United States senator to
further the interests of clients before

sented was fraudulent concern and
in accepting the retainer he compro-
missed not only his official honor, but

He has made a long and bitter fight,
but the end was inevitable. He is

Commissioner Report on Hamlet
Wreck

Basing its announcement on find.
ings as preventative in further rail-
road wrecks, the North Carolina cor
poration commission rendered a decis-
ion of the wreck of two trains last
Sunday evening on the Seaboard Air
Line Railway near Hamlet. This is
an endorsement of the block system
and recommends such installation. The
commission ordered that a report of
sf its findings be mailed to President
Walters, of the railroad company.
The report sets forth those who were
examined as persons having know
ledge Of the facts concerning the
wreck. There is also set forth in this
report these several facts:
"This wreck was caused by the
failure of agents Of the railroad com
pany to observe and obey the rules
and regulations of the company gov
erning the movement of trains. It
would serve no useful purpose for the
corporation commission to find which
agents are guilty of negligence in this
matter, as such finding would not be
binding or conclusive upon any one
and might be prejudicial in other in
, vestigations. The purpose of our in
vestigation, as all understand it. is
that the corporation commission
might take such measures within its
powers as to prevent the recurrence
Of such accidents. We are satisfied
that the wreck would not have oc-
Cured had the block system been in
operation on the portion of the road
where it occurred. The operator at
Rockingham and the operator at
Hamlet. only six miles apart, per-
mitted trains to leave these places at
about the same instant of time, meet
ing each other, and neither knew
that this had been done until the
trains were beyond their control. This
could not have happened under the
block system. Eight passenger and
freight trains, besides the special
trains daily, go over the Seaboard Air
| Line s side-track between Hamlet and
Monroe. We have no power to order
the block system Of signals to be put
IN operation on this section of the
road, but we do most earnestly rec
ommend that theNSeaboard Air Line
Railway install the block system SER
vice between Hamlet and Monroe as
| soon as practicable -

any signs of mob on the shore.
At an early hour the steamer APP

more. The culprit, accompanied by
