A RECORD
BREAKER.
June Eclipses Every Month
This Year for Good
Behavior.
A QUIET MONTH.
Only a Measly Little 500
Assessed For Violating
City's Laws.

A reformation has certainly taken
a strong hold on the class of people
who have hitherto had but little res
pect for the city's laws. The reason
for nearly everybody getting good
all at once cannot be traced to any
great underlying cause. Strange as
it may seem an investigation of Chief
of Police Roper's slate yesterday re-
vealed the astounding fact that but
81 arrests for various causes have
been made this month and only 5000
in fines has been assessed in the City
Courts, In January there were IS
arrests; February, 60; March, "a;
April, SO and May IA. A total of 416
for six months up to the morning Of
June 28th.
As was said by one of the speakers
at the reception of the Nashville
Boosters last Tuesday at the Hotel
Latham, "Hopkinsville is the best
town or earth" 1t looks like the
assertion is true in more ways than
one. Everybody will be glad to
learn of the very apparent improve
ment in the morals of the city. In
vestlgation would. probably, show
that June has been the quietes
month in the police circles for a de
cade, or even a longer time. lie
the good work go on.

The latest compiled statistics show
that since January 1st there have been
thirty three railroad wrecks in this
country, in which about one hundred
and sixty persons were killed and over
four hundred injured, some of the lat
ter doubtless dying later and the death
list being correspondence increased.
Naturally such wholesale slaughter
of passengers and railroad employees
has aroused the entire country. The
railroad officials themselves appreciate
the gravity Of the situation and are
profuse in explanations, many of which
do not explain.
AS a general proposition it can be
stated that every accident has cause,
and that in the vast majority of facet
dents that cause was preventibIe one.
Sometimes the trouble lay in an 'over-
worked employe, sometimes in one
who drank heavily, sometimes, and we
fear too frequently, in poorly kept track
or engines and coaches not properly
maintained.
There have been no end of sugges-
tons from the newspapers as to the
best way in which to bring about a
lesseningof these narrowing accidents
1t is recognized that the mere fear Of
pecuniary damage does not seem to be
adequate to bring all railroads to a
proper realization of their paramount
duty to the travelling public. The pos
sibilitY of damage is lost sight OF, in
the eager chase for large dividends
One thing that is being stressed by
the Georgia papers in this connection is
the giving of the utmost publicity to
the causes of accidents and full details
as quickly as possible as to the extent
of them. 1t lappears to be the ac-
copied railroad policy to keep from the
public as much information as possible.
At least that is said to be true of some
railroads. The Augusta Herald, the
Georgia papers, are now insisting that
such a policy be relegated to the rear
and that the most complete reports be
furnished promptly in the event of an
accident.
We are not in position to say wheth-
| e the railroads in Georgia have cover
ed up the details of accidents or not.
We are not inclined to believe that they

Court Circles Are Affiliated j.

Paris, March A dispatch to the
Eclair from Madrid says that court
circles there are agitated by reports
that there are indications that the
queen will probably present twins to
the world. If this were to occur,
it would raise interesting legal, med
zeal and political questions, besides
being unique in royal history. This
would be especially the case should
these twins be boys, or if girls, they
should be the only children of the
royal couple Disputes it is thought,
would be certain. The present Span
tsh law declares that the first born
of twins is the older and therefore
has the right of succession. The old
Spanish rule reversed this order, and
modern medical opinion, the Eclair
says, supports the older law which
declares that the older child in che
case of twins is the last to be born.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-03-05

have. All in all, the railroads in Geor-
gia are about as we'll managed as those
of any other Southern state, and their
officials are about as clean, progressive,
manly men as can be found. We have
never known them to be charged with
deliberate suppression of the essential
facts of an accident and do not believe
they have been guilty of it,
There is one suggestion The Times
Recorder desires to make in thisicon
nection. 1t is this:
When the legislature meets this sum-
mer let it pass law requiring that
all accidents shall be Immediately re-
ported to the railroad commissioners,
that on receipt of such a report one or
more of the commissioners shall at once
proceed to the scene of the accident and
make personal investigation as to the
conditions surrounding it, and that the
railroads shall later make full report
to the commission of the accident,
showing the extent of the property
damages, giving the names of the dead,
and injured, and stating as well the ex-
tent to which travel was delayed as q
result Of the accident.
With such reports on file, corroborat-
ed. to some extent, at least, by the per-
sonal investigations of one or more of
the commissioners, the Commission
would be in possession Of valuable in
formation, statistical and otherwise.
There are three railroad commiss-
toner's in Georgia. While they are pre-
sumably busy men the imposition of
this extra task upon them would not
be serious addition to their labors.
There are few bad wrecks in year,
and the calls upon them would not be
large in number. Such sytem would
do much to satisfy the public mind that
it's interests were being properly safe
guarded.
AS to the minor freight ace idents
always occurring even on the best reg
ulated railroads, it might be well to re-
quire reports of them also. Too many
accidents on certain road, or division
thereof would be adequate reason for
an investigation by the Commission as
to the physical condition of the road
and the ability and character of it's en-
ployes.

No Naval War for eerman4

London, March A dispatch to
the Express Berlin states that Ger
many dare not even think of fighting
naval war before 1920, according to
the verdict of high German naval
expert. He condemns many of the
battleships as unseaworthy and obso
fete, refers to several of them as
floating collins, the use of which in
war would only mean the sacrifice of
their crews and says that the con
structlon of new battleships is pro-
ceeding so slowly that thirteen wears
will pass before Germany has an eff
ctent navy.

Order Causes Dissatisfaction

Panama, March Am order is
sued by the Canal authorities has
caused much comment and dissatis-
faction among the employees. The
order aboiishes cumulative leaves of
absence and obliges all those entitled
to three months leave to take it on
April or lose the right to any leave
at all. Many of the employees in
tend to ask for their leaves at once
and their action may disorganize the
situation, besides handicapping the
work OF the several departments. In
diginatfon meetings are being held
along the line of the canal and these
may result in the modification of the
order.

NEW TRIAL, is DENIED.
Judge Roam Overrules Motion OF G.

NJ. Anderson.
Atlanta, March i Judge Roam has
overruIed the motion for new trial
for G. N. Anderson, convicted OF
running a bucket shop, presented by
Fielder & Rountree, attorneys for the
defendant, and so the case will be
decided By the supreme court, to
which ii has been carried.
The grounds for another hearing
for Anderson given by his counsel
were that the court was in error IN
overruling the demurrer which at
tackled the manner in which some OF
the defendants had been indicted as
well as the constitutionality of the
Boykin act that the court erred in
accepting the verdict of the jury as
the evidence did not support it; and
the court was also in error in fall
ing to charge the jury on certain
points as requested by the counsel
for the defense.
The hearing consumed much time,
the attorneys expounding various le-
gal technicalities in an endeavor to
carry their point.

PASSENGERS Panic Stricken.

captain of the Japanese steamer To-

Dakota Sunday, reports that when
sighted the steamer was at full
speed, heading south, when she
changed her course quickly in order
to avoid danger just at the momen;
she struck with her head down and
lower screw exposed. The passen-
gers were panic stricken, but were
rescued by boats from the Tokai, and
from the land, which took them all
ashore. The day was very calm,
but the dreaded current peculiar to
that locality was very strong.
