INVESTIGATING DEATH OF GIRL

SAFETY OR ECONOMY.

1t is reported that in anticipation
of a nine hour law going into effect in
Iowa one of the railroads in that state
has already closed many of its smaller
telegraph Offices, removing the OPP
efators to the larger towns. This is a
backward step. While there is grow
ing feeling that fatalities on the rail-
roads of this country are too numerous
and that increased measures Of safety
should be adopted, this railroad, If
correctly reported, is lessening. its
passengers chances of q safe arrival
at their journeys end It. prefers a
short sighted economy to the greater
assurance Of safety which the ac- linn
iting the hours of work was intended
TO secure. -
There are many small stations in the
country where the profits from pas
sengers and freight do not pay the cost
of maintenance. There is. a, reason for
the existence of these stations apart
from the needs Of the local traffic. 1t
is necessary often to send orders to
"a train on account of accidents or
other causes Of delay. It is often ne
cessary for train to report and ask
for orders. In limiting the hours Of
telegraphers to nine it was intended
to provide that there should always be
on hand in railroad telegraph Offices
men who were wide awake, on the
alert. their senses not dulled by over
work. The accident in Colorado last
year, which was due to an operator
having nodded after several hours
overtime, and other accidents due to
similar causes. suggested and justi-
fled the law. But to leave no operator
at all in the station is remedy worse
than the trouble.
1t will undoubtedly put a serious
burden upon the railroads to require
them to increase their telegraphing
cars, and score Of lives
would cost more than the salaries Of
the telegra piers. Absolute safety
should be the first object aimed at by
the directors Of a railroad. Especially
at the present time the public is in no
mood to tolerate any action on the
part of the railroads which, for the
sake of cheapness, makes travelling
less safe than it is at present. Lit
tie towns have a reason to complain
when their telegraph offices are closed
and it is impossible to learn whether
trains are on time or not. but the
large cities are just as much interest
ed in the question.
1t is possible that a more general
use of the long distance telephone on
railroads would do away to a great ex-
tent with telegraphers. but even a
oil
to hear it. Stations at convenient
distances should be open so long as
trains are running.

JOE 'G[mAn GOES INSANE
Troubles d San Carlo Opera
!. Company Is Cause

| SAN FRANCISCO,s Cal, April To-
Broken in health by worries caused by
the troubles of the San Carlo opera
company, of which he was the ''angel.'
Joe Ullman, the. famous forseman and
bookmaker, will be taken east and
placed in sanitarium for the insane.
His case is considered almost hope
| less. =,
When: Ullman reached here with the
company, two weeks ago, he was
placed ina room at the hotel and a
trained nurse was put in charge of
him. He grew more violent and a few
days later was transferred to a sani-
tarinm, in Oakland, where he has re-
NAMED since. :.
The company had had prosperous
season, and after an extremely sue
eessful stay in Chicago, during which
Alice Nielsen quieted a threatened
panic among the singers and audience
following a fire scare in the Audito-
rum theater by advancing to the
front Of the stage and singing patriotic
airs. came west to round out the
season. T.
Everything went well until the COM
pany reached Kansas. when several OF
the chorus girls were put off Bur-
lington train in the snow. owing to
misunderstanding over their tickets.
This greatly excited Ullman, who had
been acting queerly for several days.
Then at FL Paso a great crowd
Kissed Miss Nielsen and threatened to
do bodily harm to members of the
company because several numbers
were cut from the program to allow
the troupe to catch a train.
Ullman was wildly excited by the
action of the crowd, and on the train
from Ell Paso to Los Angeles he never
slept.
He feared the train would be held up
and often would start up in his berth,
shouting: They are going to rob me-"
He secreted his diamonds and re-
mained awake every night.
When the opera company reached
Los Angeles Ullman was a nervous
wreck. but he insisted on coming north
with the troupe and arrived in San
Francisco in a complete state Of COL
lopse.
Ullman. who is IS years old, has
been for the last 20 years among the
leading racetrack bookmakers operat-
ing in this country. He was the own
er of several gambling establishments
in New York and rival of Richard
Garfield at Saratoga.
He was reared in an orphan asylum.
and since he became wealthy his
charities to similar institutions have
been heavy. With Barney ("KidO
Weller, and backed by John w. Gates,
he made book at the Saratoga race
track in 1902 that was called the big
store" owing to the fact that $4,000
wagers We're accepted as freely as IS
bet.
Ullman went to New York city from
St. Louis, where he was a newsboy.
and was himself heavy gambler. He
often bet as much as $4,000 in a single
day at the metropolitan racetra cks. He
was a familiar figure at the Waldorf
Astoria, Delmonico's, and Rector's.
In 1904, he was married to Mrs. ].
N. Gallatin. who had, two years be-
fore, been divorced from her husband.

treasury, after a three months honey
