Hundreds Of Lives Sacrificed
Annually to Railroads
sANeWiARY noLocH YET uMsATED
CONGRESS CAN DO NOTHING TO
REMEDY EVIL THIS SESSION
BUT WILL NEXT FALL.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2.
Statistics covering railroad accidents
that have taken place during the past
six monthe prove that the high water
mark has been reached in the loss of
human life by the railways of this
country in their mad rush to annihi-
late time and defy all safeguards that
should be thrown around a naturally
hazardous business. The recent ap-
palling accidents have attracted the
attention of congress, but nothing can
be done at this session. There is a
determination, however, that at the
next session, which will be the long
session of congress, this whole subject
of protection to the travelling public
shall be gone into and legislation en-
acted that will provide in fact that
which exists today only in theory.
A careful review of the accidents of
the last six months, not counting the
tragedy on the New York Central, the
most recent of railroad disasters, in
which an electric train running at high
speed was thrown down an embank-
ment, shows that 351 persons have
been killed and 474 injured. The fig
ures with regard to the New York
Central cannot be given yet with pre-
cision owing to the condition of many
of the injured, but upon present condi-
tons this total is brought up to 375
killed and more than 900 injured.
These accidents are confined to no
particular portion of the country. They
have come to those roads noted for
their careful and painstaking manage
ment as Well as to those whose equip
ment has been permitted to wear out
and where the consideration of the
value of human life is but lightly en-
tertained. Take the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore & Ohio railroads. as in
stances of the number of deaths and
injuries resulting from railroad travel
during the past six months, the news
dispatches to the papers prove that Ga
were killed while travelling on Penn
sylvania trains and 100 while on the
Baltimore & Ohio trains. The Penn
sylvania MANNED and injured in the
same period, AZ persons and the Balti
more & Ohio, 1O6. This is the record OF
two of the great roads of the country.
On the Big Four" in Indiana. on the
single day of January 10, in two acct
dents, so were killed and As injured.
With such appalling figures indicat-
ing an apparently reckless disregard
for human life, it is little wonder that
those charged with the enactment of
laws that ought to protect the people
should be aroused. Some argue that
this enormous loss of life is due to

Gilmore Wasn't a Hit in Yakima


By refusing to open the doors of the
theater the other night Manager Fred
Schaefer did more than a good turn for
his patrons as events connected with
Paul Gilmore and the AT Yale" COM
pany showed later in the game. In the
| first place Mr.. Schaefer saved his pa
| irons from long and tedious wait, and
in the second place he saved them
from being disappointed and seeing but
| a fraction of a. show, says a Yakima
paper.
At intervals throughout the evening
| where they were stalled by the wreck
| Of yesterdays No. 16, Mr. Schaefer
received kilograms signed Paul Gill
| more" These kilograms were gems, in
| their way, and were ali flied at Ellens-
burg, the last leaving that city of the
plains at 1925 p. M This last telegram
read as follows: "Edw. Schaefer, Mgr
| Theater, North Yakima: Have prin-
! cipal high school talk. College boys
| sing. Will do rest on arrival. Meet
train. Paul Gilmore"
1t was evident from that telegram
and from the preceding ones. that Mr.
/ Gilmore had a picture of the theater
| filled full of people, Willing away their
| hours of waiting by listening to the
| local talent do stunts. An earlier tele-
/ gram had requested Manager Schaefer
to make an address. Mr.. Schaefer did
one thing that he was asked, however.
, he met the train when it got in consid-
eraby after ten. Mr.. Gilmore insisted
| that it was 1890, but that is mere
detail
The company piled off the train and
hearing that there was to be no show.
at once set up howl. One of the ju-
veniles of the troupe, less cautious and
more pettish than the rest, exclaimed:
If the local manager had been any kind
of fellow at ALL he'd have held the
people and we could have gone in, Civ
en- half an act and got our money, any
way" 1t developed later that themag-
nificent production is one of Jules Muir
rays ''paid-by-the -performance" casts,
and that even Mr.. Paul only gets paid
when he acts. They were therefore sore

they would miss a meal ticket, the first

like a decent covering for the remains
of those old, brave defenders.
THE location in which the Soldiers
home now is such that 1T is not mt
even for a penal convict place, much
less a place for veterans of the civil
war. and we would recommend that the
home be moved as soon as possible
from it's present location to some place
On the waters of Puget Sound. The
place is very unhealthy, very unsani-
tary. and the location is such that it
would be hard to make any improve
ments, even at great cost, and we
would not advise spending another
dollar except for maintenance until it
can be removed. ~
Inmates Increasing.
1T has been thought by many that
the number of inmates of the home
would naturally decrease owing to the
increasing age and deaths of the vet
Grams of the civil war. We desire to
point out that, on the contrary, the
increase in the last five years is likely
to be far exceeded in the next five,
and most likely in the five years sue
war have studiously declined to be
considered candidates for the State
Soldiers home so long as they were
able to maintain themselves by manual
labor, but as age is creeping on them
they are finding themselves unable to
support life by their own labor, and
they are compelled to accept the hos
pitality of the government of the Unit
ed States and of the state of Wash
ington as provided for them in this
home.
CAS- time passes the admissions must
considerably exceed those of the past
few years. and it is most probable
that in five years from now, and ten
years from now, the number of appli-
cants for the home who must be ac-
commodated will greatly exceed the
number now On the rolls and create
a congestion in the home which it will
be impossible to provide for without
increased accommodation.

Later on, in the station, Mr.. Gilmore
delivered select talk on how to run
the universe to two interested speta-
tors, the manager of the theater the
members of his own company, and sew
eral DRINKS. Said the occupant of the
don't understand how these things are
done. If you had held the audience as
told you, we'd have got in here, got
ten right into carriages and driven to
the theater. and I'd have put the glee
club out before the curtain and let
them sing while we were getting the
first act up. Then we'd have gone on
with the show, and everybody would
have got what was coming to them"
Here Manager Schaefer reminded the
Thespian that he could not give his
whole show and get out of town on No.
6, and that North Yakima didn't take
kindly to cut performances.
How We Did PocateIIo.
Mr.. Gilmore waved his hands. "You
don't understand. Let me tell you what
we did at POcatella once We got in
there late. and l telegraphed ahead to
have the manager hold the audience by
putting on the local talent. They fell
all around the stage until my boys got
there and then we had the orchestra
strike up we won't go home until
morning. and that caught the crowd,
and they staid right with us and stood
for everything we gave them. Why a
third of that audience went to the res
taurant afterwards and had something
to eat
Mr.. Gilmore did not seem to notice
anything worth of smiling over in the
third of the audience going to the
restaurant, but everyone else did. And
so the eminent portrayer of the human
emotions continued, until even the
DRINKS tired of it, and the members Of
his own. company forgot their allegi-
ance to their star, and suggested that
he forget it. And then No. pulled in,
and the company departed.
1t may be mentioned here in justice
to Mr. Hardy, the manager of the
show. that he accepted matters phil
osophically. and did not try to argue
the matter; he being too old show
man to think that a city audience
could be satisfied with a butchered
play.
