Not a Block System.

If you think you are operating a
block system after abOiishing the posi-
tive block, you are mistaken.
1t is not a block system. For how
can "a block be a block II il is not a
block? You have gone 20 a big expense
and what has II amounted to? Simply
this. An engineer IS notified that there
is. or is not, a train running ahead OF
him somewhere between where he Is
and at the next block station, say. five
miles distant, but what good does it
Go2 II the block is clear ne could not
hit anything If he tried, and il does no
good 10 tell him So The only effect 1
can see would be a tendency TO cause
him TO exercise less vigilance
This is the testimony Of a railroad
man, thoroughly familiar with the op-
GRAFTON OF signal systems. The long and
short Of the matter is that q block sig
nai system on mOst OF the roads is not
a block signal system at all, that the
necessity of traffic have got trainmen
and their superiors into the habit or
disObeying the rule Of q single train il
q single block, and that the travelling
public and the railroad employees who
imagine they are getting the protection
of such a system are. in fact, getting
nothing of the sort

that will tend to show that Engineer
Harry II. Hildebrand ran his engine
past the closed block at TakOma. while
the tower was showing the red light.
Whether or not Hildebrand failed TO
see the light because OF the dense fog
last night. or whether ne WAS tTicked
into believing that it showed white, viii

Roads Carelessness.

1T seems meXplainabIe to me that
after spending immense amounts OF
money. in installing block systems the
railroad should not enforce TO the letter
the rule that only "a single train should
be admitted To- the track at "a time.
II is we'll known among railroad men
that this rule is more houored IN the
breach than In the observance on many
roads. After one train has entered
block and acquired reasonable leeway,
another train approaching ~-ili be given
q signal 10 20 ahead Wl-h caution or
under CruIrOl. That IS intended as no
tIce that there rs another train Ia the
block. and is presumed TO euJ0ln special
caution on the trainmcu.
But by actual experience, It seems
to be shown that the very existence
Of the block system, ana the fact OF
having been given permission 10 pro-
coed. makes the men fl charge OF trains
rather less careful than they would be

COMPLAINS OF WAY

District Official Believes In
veSdgation viii Show
Stupidity.

District Commissioner West bitterly
denounces the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road and says that il proper care were
exercised, the Terra Gotta disaster
should never have occurred. He also
criticises in stinging terms the railroads
thought of its cars and schedules pre-
Nious to its care for the dead bodies
that Uttered the tracks after the crash.
Mr.. West thinks that the investigation
into the affair viii develop the utter
senselessness Of hauling empty cars into
the city at a high rate of speed when
the block signals showed that a pas
senger train had but a short time be-
fore passed along the same track.
Could Be Averted.
Treating the accident. Commissioner
West says;
The terrible wreck at Terra Gotta
last night is all the more terrible be
cause it ought never to have occurred.
The value OF the block system Is
completely neutrdllZed when the rail-
road authorities viii allow another
tram IN upon d block already occupied
from what ! learned at the scene of
the wreck last night, the train of empty
cars was glren at the Silver Spring
pIock station what Is known among
railroad men as the double green
which meant that the engineer was To
proceed with caution
Il cannot understand. however. why.
with the knowledge that there was a
local train ahead. the second train was
not brought To stop at Silver Spring
and held there until the passenger train
was safely out of the way Ii was all
lhe more necessary to exercise this
preeautiou In view of the fact that tho
night was extremely tOEEy a COndi-
JIOp which always adds TO the danger

sisted merely OF empty coaches so that

Overlooked the Dead.
Another thing which impressed me
was the delay in sending d train 10 con-
Ney the dead bodies To the CITY where
they could be placed i'm the mOrgue and
be identified by relatives and friends
The injured We're taken 20 the ciTv as
quickly as possible, but after that the
railroad sent out two or three W-reckiug
trains one of which came all the way
from Baltimore. and 10 seemed far more
important 10 care for a few damaged
coaches than for the dead lying out on
Lhe hillside Iu the rain. A through PN-
press To the West then was given the
li8HI or way, So that IL was finally
nearly midnight before the dead were
carried into the city, nearly five hours
diIer the accident occurred. l hope that
me investigation into the accident will
ne flGlu ana thorough because IL is eVi-
dent that a system which allows TWO
trains on block at the same time is
liable TO result In another tragedy"
Commissioned West spent four hours
at the wreck. Inspectors Cross and
GessLord and the other police officers
ON the scene at once reported TO Mr.
west and were COmplimenJed by him
upon the excellent management which
they had displayed.

Greed at the Bottom.

Il suppose that down at the bottom of
all this is the great pressure for more
profit from the operation of tsIe roads.
Dividends, and dividends, and more div
idends is the demand. In Europe a
higher estimate is placed on life and a
lower estimate on dividends. When we
get to looking at IL as the European peO-
pie do We viii enforce regulations that
Will make travel approximately as safe
as it is there. But il can never be done
until We have much more extensive
railroad facilities in proportion to the
amount of business handled. That is
the fundamental difficulty. The roads
are so overburdencd with business that
II they gave due attention to regulations
for the protection of life they would
never be able to handle the business at
all -
