Clarence barrow of Chicago, who
had made plea describing the
case at issue as struggle of "class

the jurors that they were hostile to his

DEADLY AMERICAN RAILROADS.
In One Year 376,5o0 Persons Are In
jured While Travelling.

Berlin.-Herr Gurley, an official Of
the archive bureau Of the Prussfan
railway administration, has prepared,
a comparative table of statistics of
those killed and injured by railways
in various countries. He finds that
both absolutely and relatively the
railroads in the United States are the
most deadly. The United States has
more mileage than all Europe, but
even taking that into consideration
the United States holds pre-eminence
in proportional figures. Out of every
thousand railway employees the ratio
of the number injured each year is
as follows United States, 1875;
Switzerland, 1853; England, 11.S; Bel
GUM, IL; Germany, "a.
Out of every ten thousand employees
the relative figures of killed are:
United States, 26.1; England, 1928;
Switzerland, 81; Russia, rs; British
India, CT; Belgium, Al.
Herr Gurley finds that in a single
year-the fiscal year of 1092-376, 500
persons were injured in the United
States, of whom 10000 were en-
ployes, and $500 killed, of whom
5000 were employees.

NOT A MAN LEFT IN CITY.
All the Men In Hungarian Village
Have Come to America.

rave Come TO America.
Buda Pest.--The lure of the United
States as a land of opportunity and
wealth to the people of Hungary has
brought out curious state of affairs
in the little village of Kriseva, near
Lugos, that at the last census had a
population Of $500 souls. One by one
the male residents of Kersova heard
the call across the water, and they
emigrated in patches until such time
as the mayor was the only adult
male to remain by the village Final
1y he also succumbed to the reports
OF good wages and golden chances in
America sent back by his fellow
townsmen, and, packing his trunk, he
made his way to the emigrant ship
at Fiume.
AS result Of this exodus of males
the women of Kerisova have just
elected a young woman to the posi-
ton of mayor, and other female resi-
dents have been elected to fill the re.
mainder Of the municipal Offices. The
statutes Of Hungary provide that no
female shall hold office, and according
to the letter of the law the presence
OF the women in Office is illegal.

CRUSADE FOR
BETTER MORALS
Governor Cutter Excited by AS
sertionS of Girl in Re-
form School.
CONDITIONS IN SALT LAKE
BELIEVES WORKING GIRLS
SHOULD BE SAFEGUARDED

At conference of local manufacturers,
called ostensibly TO discuss the new pure
food law Governor Cutler stirred up a
hornets nest yesterday by the assertion
that the young women of Salt Lake who
work for a living are being demoralized
by the wholesale. When he was pinned
down and asked for his authority for
the sweeping statements he had made on
the subject, 1t developed that his sole au-
thority was a girl now confined in the
reform school at Ogden. Incensed at the
broad assertions made by the governor,
the numerous employers of young women
who were present united in denOunclng
the statement as untrue. On the contra
ry, they asserted that all of the estab-
hshments in this city that employ girls
and women maintain a high standard OF
selection, require rigid dec0rum and dis
cipline and refuse to employ any girl un-
less she has a home with relatives and is
a desirable associate for the hundreds
of respectable girls who earn their live
ing by work.
1t was agreed by all those present that
the dahce halls and skating Kinks are a
menace to the morality of the young peo-
pie of the community and should be eth
er suppressed or restricted in the class OF
attendance and the conduct of the places.
1t was also agreed that the innumerable
roOming houses of the city should be
subjected to police supervision of the
most severe sort, and many OF them COM
PEELED to close entirely.
Discussing the problems involved in the
loose conduct of skating Kinks and dance
halls and the unrestricted immortality OF
the rOOming houses, Governor Cutter, the
Rev. 2. A. Simpkin and DR.. I. b. Beatty
secretary of the state board of health
were all of the opinion that a strong pub
lie movement for the improvement OF
moral conditions should be instituted.
In this they were seconded by j. G.
Mcdonald of the Mcdonald Candy com
pany Leon Sweet of the Sweet Candy
company, l.. l.. Terry of the Troy laun-
dry. c. w. Mount and the other employ
ers present. In concluding the confer
ence. Governor Cutler said it was not his
intention to do more than call the atten-
ton. of those present to the need of such
a movement and ask their active CO.
operation to that end.
