says that he would be glad to have
a committee from the Electrical Work
ers' union examine the wiring at the
school. For the last twenty-three
years the boys have done all the cleo
trio wiring at the institution and dur
ing this time. he says, there has never
been trouble due to defective work.
He objects TO the union calling the
boys convicts and says that the faith

In addition to the wiring the boys
do all the work about the school, such
as running the dynamos and pumps.
blacksmi;hing. horseshoeing. machine
work. make their own clothes. shoes
and the wagons used at the institu-
ton. He believes that all labor
unions would be rs much justified In

ELECTIONS PLEASE ROOSEVELT.

Herey at San Francisco,

Washington.-Presid Roosevelt
Thursday issued the following state
ment regarding the elections held
Tuesday last:
"The Presiden. regards the result
Of the elections is extremely crafty
ing. He has sent letter Of hearty
congratulation to Mr.. Heney at San
Francisco.
1.-THE victory in New Jersey was
precisely what happened nine years
ago. In the middle of President Nc
Kinley's administration. He had car
ried New Jersey by $4,000 and two
years afterward the Republican can
didate for governor had $500, the
vote being cut down just as happened
In the Judge Fort case.
"As compared with the elections
next preceding the last presidential
election. we have done decidedly bet
ter than We did in 1908. Then as
Tuesday, Rhode Island and Maryland
went against us, but this year we
have won sweeping victory In Ken
lucky for the first time since Mckin-
leys first election; and the victory in
Massachusetts was also remarkable.
"The showing in Pennsylvania and
Nebraska is equally good. The show
ing In New York state as n whole
was excellent, far better than was the
case prior to the last presidential
election. That the result In Manhat-
tan was due to purely local causes is
shown by comparing 1t with the deci-
sive triumphs of Brooklyn. Buffalo, Al.
bany and In the state generally. The
Presidents home county Of Nassau
made better showing than 1t ever
has in an off-year. AS whole the
showing has been an Improvement
over what it was four and eight years
ago."

Rour COUNTY COAL RAILROAD.
Makes Application for Right Of Way
Across School Lands.

Denver.-Applicatio has been made
to the State Land Board for right of
way over 159 acres of some of the rich
est coal land in Colorado by the Colo
RADIO & Northern Railroad Company.
The company plans to build line of
thirty miles from Hayden, a station on
the Moffat road, in Routt county.
through the anthracite coal fields of
that section and California peak, end
ing at Sand Mountain pass. Later, 1t
is contemplated to build an extension
through the Hahn's Peak District.
DR.. A. A. Johnson, superintendent
OF the mineral department of the State
Land Office, is vice president and gen
eral manager of the company. He ap-
praised the land as being worth $3.50
an acre and that was the pricefo for which
the board is asked to sell the l59
acres. DR.. Johnson explained that the
necessary rights of way over govern
ment territory had been secured free
because of the important and rich coal
region the line would open. The ap
plication did not state whether the sale
would be outright or not. The board
expressed itself as being unwilling to
dispose of such valuable coal land and
action on the matter was postponed
until the attorney general could inves-
tigate. The benefits accruing from the
line are plain to the board and the
probabilities are that the board will
sell the surface rights at the figure of.
fered. reserving the rights to the min
eral deposits.
The Colorado & Northern Railroad
company was incorporated year ago
with capitalization of s1,O00,O0O. The
company is said to have purchased the
rights granted in 1880 to Calvin s.
Brice. Samuel Thomas and other big
eastern magnates to build Il line
through Routt county.
The officers of the company are b.
Dorsey of st. Louis. president; DIR. A.

BY POSTMASTER GENERAL, WHO
ALSO PREDICTS ESTABLISH.
MENT OF PARCELS POST.
SUCH BANKS NEEDED
WOULD ACT TO PREVENT PRi-
vATE HoARDING OF MONEY
AND KEEP 1T MOVING.

Chicago. - Postmaster General
George Won L. Meyer was the guest
of honor Thursday at the banquet Of
the Industrial club Of Chicago and
gave his views regarding postal i'm
provements. including the establish.
ment Of postal savings banks and the
extension of the parcels post system,
which he will recommend to Congress
in his annual report.
He said the Postoffice Department
during the past fiscal year sent to
Europe the money Of immigrants to
the extent of $71,000,000. He esti-
mated the amount Of money in the
UNITED States at $3,123.056,673, Of
which $1.010.7S0,O00 is in the banks,
$333, ,S55,05 Is in the treasury and the
balance. $1.77S,50l ,620 in the hands OF
individuals and otner sources.
For a striking illustration of the
value OF q postal savinks bank, take
the present time," said Mr.. Meyer.
Many small accounts have been with
drawn from national banks. trust COM
panNs and savings banks by timed
depositors, and the money has gone
into the strong box or into hiding
On occasions like these what the peo-
pie want is absolute security. After
they withdraw their money they dread
loss from theft or by fire, but they
do not lose confidence In the security
of the government or Its pledges.
Therefore the small accounts referred
to would flow into the postal savings
banks and would be led back into the
channels of trade by being deposited
in the national banks in those COM
munities, to the great advantage OF
labor and industry.
when n crisis had passed and con.
fidence had been restored the money
would be returned TO the savings
banks, because In the postal savings
banks II would receive only about half
the interest paid by savings banks.
II the money is withheld from national
banks or trust companies 1t loses the
benefit OF being drawn b.. check nor
II deposited In a postal savings bank
can the depositor receive accommoda.
ton In the way Of loan or the ac'
ceptance OF business paper. In other
words. the Postoiiice Department is
not going into the banking business.
II desires only to encourage thrift
and to offer an accessible and safe
form OF depositing savings by natur.
allied citizens and foreigners. as well
as by our people living In out-of'the-
way Places
Mr.. Meyer In conclusion said he
believed the need for both parcels
post and postal savings banks would
be recognized by Congress this year.

Record Of Railway Accidents.

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission bulletin on acci-
dents on railroads of the United States
during the year ended last June shows
total casualties of S1,2S6, or 5000 per-
sons killed and 1926 injured. This
shows an increase of 1882 casualties,
or IT'S in the killed and 9,777 in the
injured as compared with the previous
year.
The bulletin says:
There have been heavy increases in
all OF the items. except accidents In car
coupling and from striking against
over head distractions The number
of passengers killed and injured In col
lisions and derailments has Increased
TO an alarming degree. In this item
the very large total reported In 1905 Is
now exceeded by seventeen per cent.
The comparative smallness of the in.
crease In casualties due to coupling
and uncoupling cars and In accidents to
men on the tops of freight cars is un.
doubtedly due In large measures to i'm
provements In the maintenance and
care of automatic couplers and TO the
increased use of airbrakes on freight
trains. The disastrous record of cas-
ualties to passengers in train accidents
til0 killed., is due In large measure to
ten accidents which caused the death
of 29S persons"
The report for the last quarter lin,
cluded In these figures for the yenr).
