A few days ago the superintend-
ent of high school expelled three
young women for refusing to wear
long sleeves in the school room.
Had the death blow to the short
sleeves been dealt a little sooner
he might have been spared the
trouble.
Women are on the verge of
prostration. for all their sleeves
have been cut off to correspond to
the prevailing custom.
College girls are almost re-
bellious.
High school girls with dimpled
elbows are temptedto fly in the
face of Providence and try the
sleeve another season and see what
happens.

Once the appalling annual statistics Of railway
disasters have set railway managers to thinking seriously
about precautions for the greater safety OF their trains
The managers of the Burlington think they have found
the secret in limitation of speed This railroad in the
face of apparent public demand to be time regard
less of risks has placed maximum speed limit of GO
miles hour upon its passenger trains and has put speed
meters in locomotive cabs to detect speed in excess of this
limit.
How important this is to the travelling public may be
gathered when is stated that the fast ranscontnena
mail train, which does not carry passengers, maintains
speed of 80 miles hour portions of this road every
night 1t is also weknown fact that there is not sin
gle fast train any of the big railway systems that does
not frequently equal and surpass this speed daily
efforts to make up lost time.
How far speed contributes to accident is open ques
ton. The Burlington experiment will be interesting and
valuable to the entire world.
But the American people, aroused the long list Of
dead and injured for the year, will not be content with
such mild methods of reform.
Yesterdays wreck the Rock Island route in Kansas
is still later example of criminal fault and folly
where 1t is announced that operator who failed to
give orders to the tainmen responsible for the crash
that snuffed out 80 lives.
Possibly he is but the railroad company responsible
to the public for that operator And the is not
plete until it is shown whether not the employee bur-
dened with this fearful responsibility made the
through sheer careessness because he half dead
from lack of sleep and rest
There is pending in the national senate bill offered
by Senator LaFoette forbdding to permit ''any en-
ploye in connected with the movement of any train to
remain duty than Is hours, except when by
uaty occurring after such employee has started his trip
he is prevented from reaching his terminals to permit
any such employee to go duty without having had at
least 10 hours for rest.''
The railroads offer strenuous opposition to the pass
age of this BILL And this opposition shows where the
shoe pinches.
Many of the accidents of the past have been attributed
to overworked trainmen overworked dispatchers.
The limitation of hours of continuous labor to 16 is
not unreasonable.
All regulating must be productive of some
incidental hardship That cannot be helped. But it is
better that the railways should suffer some hardshps in
the decrease of dividends than that their employees should
continue to suffer injustice and the public continue to
suffer injuries and loss of life.

MARRIAGE BROKERAGE FRAUD EXPOSED

PARIS, Jan. 3.--The police of
Paris are investigating a marriage
brokerage and attempted murder
case that Is typical French crime
mystery.
DR. Hebert, a Canadian physi-
clan, crept into the Bois-le-Roi rail-
way station bleeding from a pistol
wound in his head. He told that he
had been shot at nearby villa;
had managed to jump from the
window, but had been shot again;
had had only strength enough left
to climb over into the public road.
He was taken to a hospital in
critical condition.
The villa was found to be desert
ed. Next day a Nine. Marie Guerin
was arrested at Versailles, where
she conducted matrimonial
agency with one Cesbron, who,
however, was not found.
DR.. Hebert says he engaged with
Cesbron in condensed milk
scheme which, however, came to
nothing. Cesbron and Marie Guerin,
who weer supposed to be married,
offered him the hospitality of their
house. While at lunch there he
was surprised b. a visit from the
police. Cesbron informed DR.. He
bert that his wife would be arrest
ed unless she could produce $1,000,
OF which matrimonial client COM
planned he had beer swindled. He
bert gave the sum to Nine. Guerin.
Cesbron, however, took half the
money and made off with it. The
doctor then consented to make up
the required amount for Marie
Guerin to be free.
Marie Guerin's story comedies
with Hebert's so far as the con-
densed milk deal goes. 1t did not
succeed, and then, she says, she
founded the matrimonial agency
with DR.. Hebert as London agent
with the scheme of making Eng
lishmen of position but without
means meet French heiresses and
impecunious Frenchmen meet rich
English girls. DR.. Hebert was
passed off as the guardian of the
English girls and Cesbron as
guardian of the French girls.
One of the schemes of Cesbron
h. f0 p
easily obtained photographs of
bright and pretty American and
| English actresses, who were named
as bankers and millionaire daugh-
tiers who were ready to fall right
into matrimony. Extensive use was
made of the photographs of Miss
Nina Boucicault, the charming
young actress.
Not the least mysterious aspect
of the case Is that, in villa belong
| ing to Marie Guerin, elaborate
preparations were found as if for
only only numbering but burning
the body of a man. A pistol, shov'
els, axes, sheets, chemicals were
| assembled there. The police sus
pect there was a trap to inveigle
Hebert thither and make away
with him. This, however. Marie
Guerin Indignantly denies. She
claims that there was a quarrel fol
lowed by the shooting because OF
Hebert's violent love for her.
