At the post mortem held Saturday
afternoon over the body of Roman
Wransky. the Austrian, who died the
day before from the results of an ac-
cident on the 10th of May, the doctors
concluded that the immediate cause Of
his death was not any blows he might
have received. The condition of the
body at the examination gave consider
able strength to the belief that the
tumble Wransky took into&the base
ment of the building on account of his
drunken condition that day was the
chief cause. Stafford was released and
will continue his work here for the
Clark company. Attorney Bardon had
been retained by Stafford in case the
matter had taken a serious turn.

Recruiting the Army.

Gen. Ainsworth's suggestion that con-
scription may be necessary to enable the
United States government to maintain the
regular army at full strength is likely to
precipitate a lively discussion in Congress
as to ways and means of recruiting the
forces. The phenomenon of difficult re-
cruiting. in period Of good times. is by
no means unfamiliar. 1t is a natural re-
suit of direct competition between the
government and the private employer for
the services of able-bodied men. Good
times means abundant opportunities for
employment at good wages. The idle man
is likely to hesitate about accepting the
military service If he has a chance to 60
to work In a mill or a shop or on a farm
at high wages. In the army he is bound
to a period Of years He is under restrc-
lions. He is required to do monotonous.
unproductive work. The life may appeal
to certain temperaments and undoubted-
ly, now that distant territories are under
the American flag. the army service offers
a degree Of novelty which was previously
lacking. Yet 1t is becoming increasingly
difficult to fill the ranks.
1t is possible that If the present period
of high wages and general prosperity is
checked by a reaction the recruiting off,

"Pay as You Enter"

Much of the congestion in street cars is
undoubtedly due to the fact that fares
are collected by the conductors after the
passengers enter. Conductors cannot
work" their cars and 'lift" their tickets
simultaneously without loss of time The
constant passing of the ticket takers
through the aisles is source OF great an
noyance and discomfort, as well as delay
To obviate this difficulty a new style OF
car has been devised for use on surface
lines. where no system of ticket stations
can be maintained with convenience The
passengers all leave and enter from the
rear end of the car. the front being
closed railing divides the rear plat
form transversely. with an opening oppo-
site the car door. The conductor stands
between this opening and the door. The
incoming passenger enters the platform
by a step next to the extreme rear, and
delivers his fare to the conductor before
passing into the car. Outgoing passengers
leave by separate step forward of the
other. These two passageways are plain
iy marked Entrance and Exit" The
purpose Of the arrangement is to keep

Urban Train Robbery.

Things have come to a pretty pass
when masked train robbers can oper-
ate with IMMUNITY in the railroad station
of large city. The Cleveland affair.
just reported, reads like wild western
tale Of hold-up on the plains or In
the mountains. The robbers saw pas
senger display a large roll of bills as
he bought his ticket. Doubtless i'm
pressed by the fact that no man had
right to SO much currency at a time
of monetary strain, they followed him
into the car and promptly went through
the coach, relieving him of his roll
which contained only $50 after all
and others of their visible cash. Just
as they finished their work a police
man appeared and chased them out of
the car, the other end of which had
been conveniently left unlocked for
their exit. Though fired at several
times. they made good their escape.
Either the thieves are growing holder
with the approach of winter or the
Cleveland police system is ineffective.
Certainly we have reached a climax Of
the absurd when a performance Of this
kind can be enacted on such stage.

the crowd moving at all stopping points,
to relieve the congestion In the aisles and
to facilitate the movement Of the car.
The other day the car was tried in Chi
cago on a heavily patronized suburban
line. Despite some friction caused by
people hsedlessly trying to enter by the
exit step. and to leave by the entrance
passage. the experiment proved an entire
success. Later reports indicate that the
public is quickly learning to get on and
Off the car briskly and to have the fare
ready upon reaching the conductor. One
hundred and five Of these cars have been
ordered by the corporation controlling the
surface lines Of New York and the first
shipment has Just been received. They
will be put into service at once. and the
results will be watched with keen in
terest by car riders throughout the coun-
try.
The success Of this scheme lies in the
public acquiring the habit Of having fares
ready for delivery. 1t is an easy matter
to have exact change In cities where
cash fares are charged. or tickets where
they are sold. A little forethought only
is required After a time. II the public is
once aroused to the fact that 1t is to its
own interest to enter the car prepared to
pay promptly. the system ought to work
without a hitch. Even in the ordinary
type Of cars the work of the conductor Is
greatly hampered by the failure Of the
passenger to have the fare ready
From the corporations point of view
the cars should prove eminently salts
factory. The pay-as-you-enter system re-
duces to negligible minimum the chance
Of loss through the conductors inability
thoroughly to lift" all fares. 1t is OBJ
vious to any observer that the traction
companies lose a considerable part of the
fares due them by reason of the present
conditions.
