The Most Singular Chain of Marine
Accidents on Record

The most singular series of ship
wrecks Oh record began with the loss
of the English merchantmen Mermaid
res strait in October, 1929. The officers
and crew clung to the shattered vessel
which was held fast upon sunken
ledge, until, few minutes before the
doomed ship went to pieces, passing
frigate picked them up.
The Swiftsure as the latter craft
was called, resumed her northward
course, to be foundered in terrific
gale three days later.
Her combined crews were saved by
the warship Governor Ready, en- voy-
age to India May IS, 1880. The last
named, overtaken by a storm, was
stranded on barren coast, her three

After staying week on the inhos-
pitable island they We're taken off by
the revenue cutter Comet, which few
days later sprang a leak and sank in
spite of all efforts to save her.

THE BLUEFlSH BRIGADE.
What Happens When the B1nes Make
Charge Upon Menhaden.


when menhaden or herring are
driven upon the beach by bluetish, as
they often are so that they can be
carried off by the cart load" said a
fisherman, there is very seldom found
among them one of their pursuers, and
if one is found it is likely to be a fish
that is diseased or that has been hurt
in some way. The bluetish follows to
the very verge Of the water, but there
it stops. ana it is SO powerful and
alert Il swimmer that. close as it is, it
still easily keeps clear of the land
The menhaden or herring are no mean
swimmers. They could come as close
and keep off the shore as easily as the
bluefish do, but not when the bluefish
are after them. Then they are like
men pursued to the edge of preci-
pice. 1t is almost certain death to
jump. but they must do that or turn
md take the chances Of breaking
through the pursuing line.
when the bluefish--there may be
1900 or 1000 of them together-s
q school of menhaden. they go for it
like a brigade of heavy cavalry, cut
ting and slashing, Swapping and biting
right and left The menhaden are sim
ply overborne by superior weight. and
there is nothing for them to do but
flee. II they are driven toward the
shore, the land is to them what the
precipice would be to the man. They
must take it or they must turn and try
to fight their, way through. Many do
turn and try to swim under or over
or around the savage bluefish and
some escape in this way. and some are
snapped up. and some are MANNED and
then cast ashore and many of them,
crowding together. are so closely press
ed that they are pracilcally forced
ashore.
Sometimes fish that are not cast up
very far aop down into the water
again. A high wave may set some
free. A fish thus liberated may find
it's fins so damaged that it can't swim,
and it is cast up again. Weakened by
it's rough experience, 1t may fall prey
to some of the bluefsh yet lingering
offshore. 1t may escape."-New York

EXTRACTS FROM SENATOR IA FOL-
lETTES RAILROAD SPEECH

The vital interest of organized So
ciety in commerce and the public
nature of transportation imposes upon
government the duty to maintain
control over transportation as public
service. Hence upon the broadcast
ground of public policy, wholly apart
from any power to control, dependent
upon charter grants. government must
exercise, as a sovereign right, absolute
authority over all persons and all
property engaged in transportation.
The public character OF the trans
portation service and the inherent
right in sovereignty to exercise control
over it, imposes upon the Government
the obligation to require the common
carrier to render the service upon
reasonable terms and upon equal
terms. For the Government to fail in
this duty, for it to turn over to rail-
road corporations the uncontrolled
right to dictate the terms of service
and its character, is to abandon a
function OF government and place the
common carrier in the control of the
commerce of the country. To permit
the railroads to control the commerce
of the country is, in the final analysis,
to permit the railroads to control the
country.
maintain, then, that the authority
of government to control transporta-
ton, both as to the character of the
service and the rate of the service, is
inherent as right of sovereignty and
that the obligation rests upon govern
ment to exercise this power.
The organized wealth OF this country
is aggressive. 1t is INSCRIPTIONS.
No power other than that OF the
Government can cope with it. l be-
lieve the existence of government
real, representative government for the
people-is at stake. The sovereign
right conferred on Congress to regulate
commerce is the vantage ground in
the struggle.
No matter how great the burden,
how grievous the wrong, no State can
go outside its boundaries to exercise
the sovereign right to protect its
citizens from tyranny of transportation
companies. Even within their own
boundaries the States are seriously

handicapped by the constitutional
limitations respecting State and inter-
state commerce, as everyone we'll
knows who has attempted to do any
thing with the State problem.
The common-law right to prelimi-
nary injunction was to prevent
"irreparable injury" The creation
OF commission of this high order to
investigate the subject and decide upon
rates with the same deliberate judy
ment exercised by court, precludes
the necessity of this procedure.
There is much less danger of railroad
companies suffering from the decisions
of the Commission than of the
shippers being wronged by the action
of the court that grants the prelimi-
nary Injunction. The order of the
Commission is reached after full
consideration of all the facts; that of
the court for preliminary injunction is
the judgment of one judge upon
affidavit by an interested party.
A prominent and experienced rail-
road auditor has stated that 10 per
cent of all railroad travel in this
country is upon free transportation.
Those who pay to ride must bear the
burden of this free Transportation,
amounting to over $50, 10000 annu-
ally.
The free pass is furnished to public
officers to influence official action. 1t
may be accepted innocently, but,
consciously or unconsciously, it
colors judgment and ultimately and
finally controls action.
No legislative body can act i'm
partially upon any measure involving
contention between the railroads and
the public when such legislators accept
and use free transportation furnished
by the railway companies.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1905, the railroads killed and injured
1857 passengers and 48,4S7 en-
ployees. The list of killed and injured
of both passengers and employees has
steadily increased from year to year.
The record is an appalling one:
We annually kill relatively three
times and injure twenty-five times as
many railway employees, and kill
relatively six and one-half times and
injure twenty-nine times as many
passengers as do the Prussian rail-
roads.
