A New Feature in Through Sleeping Car
Service

On Sunday, December 17th, the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railroad will inaugu-
rate daily line of Standard and tourist
sleeping cars between Denver and Los
Angeles in connection with the new
Clark road. Both cars will leave Den-
yer daily at $50 a. m. and arrive at Salt
Lake city at l :35 p. IN. the next day. At
this point the cars will be held over un-
til midnight, thus allowing through pas
sengers the privilege Of stop-over Of
ten hours and half in Salt Lake City.
Eastbeund, these cars will leave Los An
geles at 500 p m. and arrive at Salt
Lake City at 6:30 a. u. second morning,
where they will remain over until $50
p. M, thence to Denver where they will
arrive at APO the following afternoon.
This stop-over at Salt Lake City of the
regular line of sleeping cars promises to
be an attractive feature for transconti-
mental travellers.

The Wreck on the Southern.

The news of the latest disaster on the
Southern railway is especially shocking
70 Washlngtonians because of the fact that
President Spencer. who was killed was a
resident of this city during the greater part
OF the year and was we'll known to a large
circle. His loss will be deeply deplored for
personal reasons, and from the business
point of view it is to be regarded as a seri-
Gus calamity. Mr.. Spencer had been unus-
uany successful in his management of the
Southern system of lines, combating ex-
ceptional difficulties with an indomitabl
spirit and with broad view toward the
future. The task of combining a large
number of rundown lines into a great
modern system called for a high order of
ability and recent results in the progress
OF the Southern have amply attested to
Mr.. Spencer's possession of the peculiar
qualities required in that position
This wreck was due evidently to the fault
OF signal operator, who gave clear
block sign to an engineer whereas he
should have given him orders to stop his
train. The result was that the second train
ran full speed into the one ahead. which
had been halted account of a mishap
to the equipment. Just why the rule re-
quiring brakeman. to go back half q mile
with red light did not operate In this
instance to warn the second train remains
for explanation. Even with the block sig
nal system working perfectly this sup
Elementary check should always be pro-
vided. 1t is known however. that In most
cases brakemen do not observe the REQUIRE
ment fully, but go back only a short dis
lance in order to prevent being left behind.
What Is to be done about these shockingly
frequent wrecks on our railroads? We suf-
fer them from year to year. from month to
month. from day to day. and declare that
something must be done to prevent them.
yet we have actually lost ground instead
of gaining 1t. IL the statistics are reliable.
The truth IS we are trying to get too much
traffic over the lines. and are paving the
penalty. Is not this a matter OF sufficient
moment to the country at large to be con-
sldered in a determined spirit of reform by
Congress?
