To Prevent Collisions.

The bill appropriating $4,000 for
the interstate commerce commission
to test the automatic devices to pre-
vent railroad collisions finally passed
the senate last Tuesday and reached
President Roosevelt for his signature
The device to be tested Is the one
owned by a number Of promiennt
citizens of Kansas City and known al
the Borne Electric Automatic Brake
device. The electrical appliances for
this great test are now being placed
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad near
Washington on the exact spot where
that fearful collision occurred only a
few weeks ago and where many peo-
pie lost their lives. There Is no ques-
ton but this device will prove itself
capable Of automatically preventing
any sort of railroad collision without
the aid Of any human agency.
