WHY THE HASTE?

1t is not surprising that many people, after
the shock and horror caused by the fatality at
Moore's Corners early Sunday morning has some
what subsidized should begin to wonder at the celer-
ity with which the Rhode Island company removed
every trace of it.
A humane desire to succor the injured and
render it possible to reach and remove the bodies
of the dead by no means accounts adequately for
the haste displayed by officers and employees OF the
traction company in hustling out OF sight even the
smallest fragment OF wreckage that might aid in
determining the cause OF and the responsibility for
a tragedy in which eleven human beings lost their
lives and two or three score suffered grievous in
jury.
This is the view many people are taking OF the
matter and they seem justified in doing so.
They read with surprise that among the first
of the traction companys servants to reach the
scene of death were one OF its attorneys and one
of its claims agents. If they were satisfied that
the mission of these men was the laudable one of
providing for the proper care OF the injured and
making arrangements for the disposition of the
bodies of those killed, their minds would not now
be filled with suspicious and questionings.
But the early arrival of these and others
high in the traction company's executive depart
removing and obliterating every scnta of evi-
dence of a shocking fatality, leads many persons
to ask whether the presence and the activity OF
these men were not due more to a purpose to pro-
tect the interests OF the Rhode Island company
than to a desire to render humanitarian service TO
the victims of the disaster,
In no other state in the Union, after the re-
moval OF the dead and the injured, especially in
case like this in which there was plain indication
OF criminal negligence somewhere, would any part
of the wreckage have been permitted TO be dis
turbed until the coroner other proper authority
had made such examination he deemed neces-
sary, and had given permission for its removal.
But other states are not so completely under
corporation domination as is Rhode Island. In
them traction companies are not allowed to do
as they please regardless of the rights of the ind
vdual citizen and of the people a whole.
Such is the condition in this commonwealth
today, however, and it goes far to explain why
within a few hours after nearly dozen lives had
been crushed out through culpable negligence and
carelessness not even splinter remained that
could be employed to determine where the respon-
sibility rests
Representatives of the traction company de-
clare that in effacing all evidence of the rightful
happening they were only fulfilling their obliga-
tions to the public
- There is good -FeaseH-te-b believe, however,
that when the investigation begins and when dam
age suits are instituted these representatives
will be found to have been serving the interests
OF the traction company that employs and pays
them, wholly and solely.
