Railroads and Employees.

The Telegram presents here few
thoughts-it such they may be re-
garded-by H. U. Nudge, ST., vice
president in charge of operation ana
construction of the Rock Island
Railway system:
81 have made a study of railway
accidents for many years. 1 am con-
WINGED that the grea loss Of life ON
American railways is due largely to
labor conditions. l would not pre-
tend to say that all the blame is to
be laid at the door of organized labor
but do believe thatsthere is a gen.
eral responsibility on the part of
trainmen-an ,irresponsibllity that is
a natural outgrowth of the labor con-
'ditions of the age.
Railway traffic is.:so heavy and
there is such an urgent and general
demand for men that employment is
easy to get. II man proves to be
not up to the mark for one road,
he does not find it difficult under
these conditions to get employment
with another road. One of the re-
suits is that all railway officials are
powerless to apply discipline as &c
should be applied. They are also
Unable to get and retain as many re-
liable and competent men as they
should nave.
There are demands enforced by
the labor organizations. too, which
are destructive in degree of the
best and safest service. The senior.
ity rule is one of the things that
works serious harm. Through it the
men oldest. in point of service are
Z given the preference, regardless of
their competency and responsibility
Other things being equal, the senior
lily plan is good one, but 1t fire.
quently works disastrously in prac-
tice.
~ firmly believe that collisions on
the railroads of this country will new
er be reduced to what they are in
other countries until the authorities
take the stand that the men in
charge OF trains are to be held strict
ly accountable for their failure to
observe the rules and regulations
laid down for the saving OF life and
property.
81 submit that the regard for all
kinds OF law in this country is not
what it is abroad. II men will have
competent rules of conduct laid down
in the statues. they are quite as
likely to hold lightly the regulations
and rules prescribed by their en-
ployers in the service they perform
for the public.
Most in considering the railway
accidents in this country do not stop
to think of the great fuctuation of
travel. For instance, between the
months of June and September the
increase in traffic on the Rock Island
was 4s per cent An expansion such
as that in so short time is no little
thing to deal with. With an i'm
mense increase in the carrying busi-
ness there must be a little increase
in the train forces to handle 1t. The
problem is to get safe men for this
purpose. l am convinced that the
dfficuities in handling trafic that
have been encountered the last year
are due more to shortage of COM
petent me nthan to a shortage of
cars and equipment.
Personally, think We are go
ing too fast, but the people are go
ing too fast in many ways. It is in
the blood. There is rarely any OBJ

concerns in the business is in a sound condition.
 Among the causes of the failure are low fares and rigid police regulations. Scotland Yard, in it's determination to suppress the din made by motor om- nibuses, insists on certain structural features in every machine before it is licensed. Every year the companies have to make their buses up-to-date or licenses are refused.
 The lowness of the fares, due to the competition of tubes" and municipal street-cars, makes as profit impossible on a motor omnibus service. One company declares that 1t spends SC cents per "car-mile" to earn only 22 cents. An arrangement to raise fares all round is now under discussion among the companies.
 The Londoner's objection to the pc trOl-driyen motor-omnibus is its noise smell, and oscillation, which are not only objectionable in themselves, but have caused serious deterioration in property along the motor-Omnibus routes. Meanwhile a silent, clean, and smooth-running electric bus is be- ginning to be seen on the streets, and may prove the motor-omnibus of the future

The most remarkable gem in Lon don today is crystalline mass of ruby about a foot long, and worth any thing between S5,000 and S40,0OO
 It was found near Mandalay, Burma and has been brought to England to be valued. This at present is impos- sible, as the ruby is imbedded in its natural matrix of calcite, and no es- innate can be made until the precious stone and the baser minerals are sep arated.
 The rubies are genuine Burmese pigeon-blOod Tubies. but their discov- cry in this form Is unique, as they ara usually found by washing in sand and gravel. The remarkable mass of gems is in possession of MT. Banyard, a colonial agent, who has shown it to the king as curiosity from a dis tan part of his empire.

Silver King is only few miles from Globe and where copper is the principal min eral production, and the entire coun- try shows signs of mineral deposits.
 It is fairly safe thing to say that outside of the Silver King and the adjoining pToperty-the Blk, the re zion about the once great mine, has not been intelligently prospected. and that there are still attractive Oppor- tunities in the basin among the rug ged volcanic cliffs that tower above the Silver King mine.

MERE BABES CHARGED
 WITH GRAVE CRIMES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24-Chlrged with burglary, Walter TTansue, S years of age, and Henry NetfOur, one year his senior, were arrested yesterday afternoon by PatrOlman BOnar.
 These boys are said to have ran sacked the house occupied by Mrs. C. R. Tilley and Mrs. Cora White, 356 Occidental boulevard.
 Valuaf les and trinkets worth sev- eral hundred dollars were piled up by the boys, who intended to take them away. They were interrupted in their work by the return of the occupants of the house, who held the youthful robbers until the police arrived.
 Had Mrs. White and Mrs. Tilley not returned when they did it is probable they would have had made arrange. ments to burn down the house.
 Shavings and papers saturated with oil were piled in different rooms in the house, and one of the boys had already lighted a match with the in tention of setting it on fire.
 Mrs. White and Mrs. Tilley entered the house through a rear door. They soon saw something was wrong, as the contents of the bureau drawers were scattered about the different rooms.
 Locks had been broken from trunks and clothing had been thrown from closets and scattered over the house.
 When taken to the police station the boys cried and said they had not intended to do any wrong. When searched they were found to have a number of small articles and trinkets stolen from the house secTeted in their pockets and about their cloth ing.
 They were taken to the detention home and their parents were notified of the arrests.

' groaned Lord HaldOn. tfiTI beer oi his line, when he was bTcught into q police station the other night. having been caught in the police dragnst and placed in a cell for spending Lhs nighc on the Thames embankment among the riff-raff of the city.
 The noble lord. whose title is ab, solutely genuine, but Nho has not even the siXpeace necessary to pay for abed in a lodging house, has fcl some time led the life of a yagrlnt.
 Fourteen years ago he married the daughter of an eX-colonel in the Brit ish army, Jacob.

 The last nights before his arrest as vagrant he spent in a cheap hotel, which came into fame as the home of the murderer of the late Mir Whiteley. owner of LOndOn's largest depart ment store.
 Being an undischaTed bankrupt, Lord Haldon cannot take his seat in the House of Lords. but he received his mail there, and is frequently in vited to lunch by more fortunate peers of the realm, when he goes there for letters.

The most important discovery in
 thearchaelOgy of Egypt this season.
 which has been particularly rich in
 finds-is the tomb of Queen Iii, the second greatest royal lady of the an
 cient Kingdom. Her coffin, which is
 in excellent preservation, is thickIy
 plated with gold.
 Queen Tiis tomb is deeply hidden in solid rock, and was found at the end of a long passage. The coffin is
 richly decorated with a feather pat tern in thin beaten plates of gold. with the royal collar inlaid with prec- ious stones. Owing to the coffin hay ing opened by the swelling of the wood, the mummy was much decayed. A number of valuable objects strewn about the tomb indicated the
 royal rank of the mummy. There was a large wooden slab, richly plated
 with gold, which might have been a shrine door, or the roof of a canopy ! over the coffin. a number of beautiful
 vases-the tops decorated with cary ed female heads-were ranged around ! the coffin.
 These indicated that the mummy was that of a queen, but it was un- known which queen until the name of The Great Royal Mother Iii" was discovered on the coffin. Several | beautiful pieces of jewelry were found in the coffin
 Iii, Queen of Amenophis III, was the daughter of a MesopOtamian king.
 She was a powerful parsonage, and one of the most remarkable chaTac- ters in Egyptian history.

The saloons of Davenport have beer

The saloons of Davenport have been
obliged to obey the provision of the
mulct law and we see no reason why
they should not. Some of our fellow
editors are much concerned because
the Germans will not be able to get
his beer at all hours of the day and
night and on all the days of the year.
One would think from the way these
papers talk that the average German
had nothing else to do except to smoke
pipe and drink beer. The truth is
that the Germans are used to beer as
beveage just the Japanese are to
tea. But as rule they are more
temperate in its use than those people
who have not been accustomed to its
use from infancy. The average fore
handed German. and the average Ger
man is fore-handed. can have his case
of beer in the cellar if he wants it
and he is not going to suffer because
the saloons are closed. Schleswig in
this county is just as German as Dav-
EXPORT. yet the Germans of Schleswig
enforce the provisions of the mulct
law because they think it is best for
the community. There is no real hard
ship in the mulct law and there is no
reason why it should not be enforced
in Davenport.

across the road who had 45 bushels
to the acre and thought that one of
the best crops he ever had. An ex-
animation showed that Jones had a
stand of SO per cent, Willie the neigh
Dor who had ''good corn" showed 4S
per cent. Jones gets about twice as
much for his work as the other fellow.
1t your corn shows only so per cent
of stand. and that is about the aver
age for field planted from untested
seed, it means that you cannot raise
on 100 acres any more than you should
raise on so acres. In other words that
you are just wasteing half of your
land
1t is sin.
To waste pin.
How much of a crime is it to
waste half farm?
We are not farmers and perhaps we
ought not to preach. but the words of the
corn expert certainly made us blush.
Crawford County exhibits the poor
est corn he ever saw at corn show.
It's a terror. 1t must be stopped.
The farmers of Crawford can stop it
if they will.

More to the Acre. y
Providence has dealt kindly with
Crawford county and there is no rea-
son why it should not stand first in
the state in corn production.

THE GREAT FLEET SAILS

To the person unacquainted with
the in and ouus OF our foreign rela-
tlons we must confess that there is
much doubt as to the wisdom of the
great naval demonstration which the
United States is to make in the Pacific
if its big battleships succeed in round
ing The Horn in safety. There must
be something under the surface and
all the on-lookers unite in saying that
the trouble which it is hoped the pres
ence of the fleet will prevent. is with
Japan.
1t seems absurd that these coun-
tries should go to war, yet stranger
things has happened. There is no
accounting for out-bursts Of national
passion. Patriotism may be one OF
the highest emotions. it certainly is one
of the fiercest. Should Japan commit
some offense against the American flag
our hatred would be as sudden, as bit
ter and as overpowerlng as was the
feeling when Spain blew up the the
ill-fated Maine. Japan has become
somewhat arrogant over its defeat of
Russia. For that matter we were con-
slderably pulled up over the defeat
of Spain. and Japan has had ten times
the reason to gloat that we had. New
erthe;ess what in ourselves seems just
ifable is unbearable in another.
The recall of the friendly embassa-
dor by Japan just at this time and the
attempted fiotation of large loan by
the Mikado. neither of them are friend
ly acts. But Japan can with equal
logic construe the unprecedented con-
centration of our fleet IN Pacific
waters as being also an unfriendly
act. From the diplomatic stand point
we must confess that we can but trust
those who are conversant with the cir
cumstances.
The movement is very expensive
one unless there is good ground for
justification. Our rich Atlantic coast
is left practically bare of defense.
The cost of the movement is enor-
mously in addition to the normal ex-
pense of the navy and the risk we are
taking is tremendous. 1t will be an
act Of Providence if all these great
ships shall accomplish their fl e
months journey without serious acct
dent and great loss of life. The ma
]ority of these ships will never return
to the Atlantic until the completion of
the Panama Canal and it is highly
probable that several of them will
never touch Atlantic waters again.
