New Device Lessons the Danger
Of Railway Accidents.
It Is known as Telegraphone
and Used for Dispatching.
MAKING EXPERIMENTS
No Possibility Afforded for Er.
rOrs in Handing of Orders.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

II experiments which are being made
now with a new device, known as the
teiegraphone, prove successful, an
other long step toward the prevention
Of railroad accidents will have been
taken. The advantages which the tele-
graphone affords in train. dispatching
have attracted the serious attention Of
railroad officials, and it is expected that
before long the new apparatus will be
in use on several of the big railroad
systems.
It has been found that the telegra-
phone makes q permanent record of
all train dispatching orders sent by the
telegraph ticker or over the telephone
wire. The sound waves set up by the
ticker act upon the diaphragm of the
transmitter attached to the telegra-
phone and are thence conveyed to a
thin steel wire, where they are cleo
trically stored. AS soon as a record of
the orders has been made upon the
wire the train dispatcher places the re-
ceiver attached to the telegraphone to
his ear and Immediately hears the
orders just as they were given.
Records may be repeated as often
as desired, but as soon as there is no
be wiped out by passing a strong mag
net over the wire, thus making it ready
for use again.
In this way the possibility of error
in train dispatching orders will be
greatly reduced. There is no need to
trust to the memory, as the orders are
there upon the wire and can be re-
ferred to at any time. The records
can be transferred for future refer
ence by connecting the receiver Of the
machine in daily use with the transmit
ter of large storage telephone.
Should any mistake occur the respon-
! sibility can Immediately be located by
| reference to the words on the storage
ma chine, an Indicator showing on just
what portion of the wire any particular
record has been made. The record
will give so perfect a. reproduction of
the dispatcher's voice, even after
months have elapsed, that it can be at
| nrce recngnized.

MIR. RIPLEY HEARD FROM.
Makes a Statement About Santa Fe
Dividend Controversy.

Chicago Oct. 6.-Discussing the ac-
ton of the board of directors of the
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fee Railway
company on the dividend proposition,
E. 2. Ripley, the president Of the COM
pany, had this to say:
The alleged differences in the board
have been given more Importance than
some facts warranted. 1t may be that
some members thought the stockhold
ers entitled to per cent, but il so, they
scarcely expressed their ideas. and the
action of the board was unanimous
There are two ways in which the in
terest of the stockholders can be fur
thered. one is in the payment of divi-
dends. and the other in increasing the
value of the property. The board aims
to consult the welfare of the stock
holders as investors rather than as
spectators. The establishment of the
; per cent rate was the conservative
thing to do. In time. as we continue
to grow, we viii probably need more
money. but for the present we can get
along very comfortably with the capt
tai funds now in hand"
