LUzoN's LONGEST RAILWAY.
New Government Line Runs Through
Fertile Country.

New Government Line Runs Through
Fertile Country.
The longest railway In the Philip
pines will be the government line lead
ing through the wonderfully fertile In
terror of Luzon from Manila to Apar-
RI the northermost port of the island.
1t will be, as it were, the great trans
continental system in the islands.
The survey calls for line 1886 miles
In length. With the exception of one
difficult grade, the road will be COM
paratively level, and trains should
make the trip in ten hours. Recent
ly the writer travelled over the line of
this survey on horseback. In all the
trip there was only seen one hillside
of about three acres which was barren
land, and here it was being worked for
lime quarry.
From Manila the road will run
northeast 125 miles through the val
ley Of the Pampanga to the Caraballo
Mountains, which run north and south
from ten to thirty miles from the west

an article by G. E. Walsh upon acci.
dent-preventing devices in America
Coasters magaZine), 1T Is shown that
we stand first in the world in the accl.
dent record and that the rule seems
to apply to all trades and professions.
The proportion of miners killed, for
instance, Is nearly treble that in France,
and about double that in other Euro
pean countries. For every five men
killed by accident in the United States
there are only three in all nations Of
Europe combined. Our railroads alone
kill twenty-one people every day. The
remarkable fact is brought out that we
lead the world in the invention of accl-
dent-preventing devices, and adopt
fewer Of them than any other country.
Indeed, many of the inventions travel
to Europe for recognition and adoption.
1t Is claimed that our workmen will
not use the safety devices, as something
childish, but prefer to run the risk like
men, This Is true, but 1t is also true
of European workmen. Indeed, the old
story Of the safety lamp In mines shows
that accustomed dangers are forgotten
or minImized.
Permanent museums of security"
such as that In Amsterdam, Walsh
says, should be established. In these
there are on constant exhibition every
conceivable device for lessening risk to
life from accident. They will educate
the public, and the workmen will grad
ually be brought to the point of de-
handing protection. 1t is suggested
that employers be held to a stricter
accountability and be compelled by law
to safeguard employees, as in Europe,
but II can be replied that American
workmen will not submit to restrictions
easily imposed in Europe. They are
free agents, with a right to kill them
selves. If they please or injure Others
No man is his brothers keeper here,
and this Is probably the real basis for
our national disregard Of the rights of
others. 1t is more than carelessness.
The surgeons Of the country see all
these accidents, and carefully investl-
gate each case. 1t seems reasonable
to suggest that they should be able to
see the causes and suggest remedies
Knowing more of the matter than any
other body of men, can they not take
some concerted action which would
make life safer In America?
American disregard for human life Is |
the fact which seems to impress Euro |
pean visitors more profoundly than any
other characteristic. Since we claim
to be the most democratic people on
earth, 1t seems remarkable that with
more power in our hands than any 9TH
er nation, we are unable to safeguard |
ourselves to anything like the extent
by monarchic nations of
the enlightened parts of Europe

Her Idea of Gentle Folk,

The following anecdote recent,
brought to Richmond by a Georgi;
woman Is true story:
A Boston couple were recreating neaI
Augusta and met an old negro woman
to whom they took a fancy. They in
v1ted her to pay them a visit and thu
black woman accepted, especially as hel
expenses were paid. In due time she
arrived in Boston and was installed II
the house of the white folks She oc
cupied one of the best rooms and ate
at the same table with her host and
hostess. At one of the meals the host
ess said:
Mrs. Jones, you were a slave
weren't your"
Yes, marm," replied Mrs. Jones. II
blonged to Mars Robert Howell"
Il suppose he never invited you to
eat at his table," remarked the Boston
woman.
mo, honey, dat he amt" replied Mrs.
Jones. MY master was a gentleman.
He amt never let no niger set at de
table long er him."
And In making this speech she meant
no disrespect to her hostess. She meant
merely to point out a natural distinc.

coast of Luzon. 1t will cross these
mountains over the South Caraballo
pass, elevation $3.50 feet. The sum.
mits are covered with immense hard.
wood trees.
The railroad will climb for thirty
FIVE or forty miles through these noun
tains. The country reminds one
Of the Cumberland mountains
IF Tennessee. There are occasional
little settlements in the val
leys where the Indians-Igorrotes from
Benguet Province-grow coffee. Every
little farm is protected with bam-
boo fence to keep out the deer and
wild boar. There are no native Tag
alloys dwelling In the mountains. These
Indians are stronger and more indus
trious than the Filipino of the plains
About twenty-five miles above BAN
bang in Neuva Vizcaya Province the
survey strikes tributary of the Magat
River at an altitude of little more
than $500 feet. From this point until
near APART there is an almost i'm
perceptible decline In the grade.
Bambang is the prettiest little town
In the Philippine Islands. The people
are 'paclfcos" and took no part In the
insurrection. Only one company of
American troops has ever been In Bam-
bang. Fifty years ago the Spanish
built great cathedrals and bridges and
improved the roads. The country Is
rolling and the valley is open. The
long, low, slanting foothills are dense
ly covered with timber. The country
is capable Of supporting an immense
population.
From Bambang the railroad will run
almost directly east down the Magat
Valley to the Cagayan Valley, fifty
nine miles by the rail, then down the
Cagayan Valley almost due north to
Apart.
In all this travelling one is Impress
ed by the fact that the Philippine
Islands still possess vast stretches of
immensely fertile but unsettled coun-
try.

OBJECT TO BILLIARD HALLS
Ninth Ward Citizens Ask Police com-
mission to Keep Their District
Free from Pool Rooms

A petition containing 161 signatures
was presented to the police commission
last night by citizens of the Ninth
ward asking that the ward should be
kept free from pool and billiard halls.
The petition was called forth by the
application filed by o. M. Hayward,
who wanted to conduct pool hall at
2114 East First street. Hayward told
the board that he had no opposition in
the locality where he intended to To-
cate his business and that thise sign
ing the petition in many instances
lived more than a mile distant.
The protestants in their petition as
sert that pool and billiard halls should
be kept out Of the ward because they
are a menace to society, corruptors of
young men and boys and general
nuisance.
The board postponed action one week
in order to investigate the situation
