WILL STOP FALSE SWEARING.

George w Uline, special examiner
for the bureau of pensions in Denver,
has received n circular letter from the
commissioner of the bureau at Wash
ington for distribution among magis-
trates and notaries. This is intended
to put a stop to fraudulent swearing
on the part of the applicants and is
suance of vouchers and papers by
magistrates when the witnesses did
not appear personally.
SO great has been the number OF
papers issued during the past Few
years without witnesses being pres
ent and when the claimant was not
there personally to acknowledge the
execution. that congress has passed
a special act covering this question
Claimants must be present. no matter

cannot get the men. Again through
delays and other causes train crews
are often over-worked but this can
not be avoided from the company's
viewpoint. Passenger crews, how
ever. are not over-worked and aver
age from four to six hours a day.
Employees likewise often work
overtime willingly for many reasons.
Nervousness and superstition were
given as another cause. The belief
among railroad men that there are
always three wrecks in succession
seems to be substantiated by facts
and nervousness is claimed to be a
contributory element. Other causes
of accidents were held to be the lack

equipment to work. unavoidable
breaking of car axles and like break
ages, and the disobediance of orders.
1t was in this last connection that
the law for a system of impartial in
spectors and detectives was recon-
mended. Many of the workers can
not receive vacation unless they are
suspended for wilful disobediance of
orders. and others of course are care

For the prevention of accidents, in
addition to the laws already men
toned, other safeguards were given
in better skilled employees. more fire.

showed the expense of the installa-

and commended especially the cleo

WOULD PREVENT
MANY ACCIDENTS
THE AMERICAN RAILROADS
Efforts are Being Made Have Detectives and Inspect
ors Employed by the Government to See That
Rules are Enforced---The Reasons For
Many Railway Horrors

A system of disinterested inspectors
and detectives in the employ of the
federal government to maintain the
enforcement of signals and rules for
the prevention of railroad accidents
wos strongly advocated by Professor
John A. Hunter of the Department of
Mechanical Engineering of the Uni
yersity of Colorado at the last weekly
session of the University Scientific
Society. Proper laws were also re-
commended for the punishment of all
those failing to observe the signals
and regulations, so that each offender
might be imprisoned according to the
severity of his offense. In addition
m this. Professor Hunter recommend
ed the passage of a federal law re-
ouiring the adoption by all railroads
of some automatic block signal sys-
TENS within eight or ten years. The
advocacy of these laws was presented
bv the professor after he had given
the greater part of his lecture to the
causes and prevention oI ldlllodu AZ
cidents. The frequency and severity
of railway wrecks was considered
only for a moment as the question is
of current agitation. The expense of
accidents to the companies was tabu-
lated in four divisions; the damage
to rolling stock. payment for lives and
injuries. damage to track and road
bed, and the injury to the reputation
of a company. The last of these
injury to reputation-was considered
as probably the greatest loss to a com
pan, as people will not ride upon rail-
ways which suffer large number of
accidents only when compelled to,
nor will they ship freight by these
routes.
Regarding the causes of accidents
the statement was made that the
management of transportation COM
panies were often forced to take the
blame when innocent. One great
cause of wrecks was said 10 be the
lack of a sufficient force of intelligent
employes-men who think. The COM
panies have to use boys in signal
