apparatus, besides necessary mainte-
nance"
The same authority goes ON to say:
There is one thing that should not
be overlooked, namely, that with an
automatic signal system trains can
follow each other more closely than
they can on the telegraph or manual
block system. This in itself is a fac
tor or economy which should be con-
sidered." This same engineer esti-
mates (from experience on a large
trunk line) the cost of maintenance
of an electric automatic system at
$114 per mile per year.
Cost of Two Types.
Another eminent authority. places
the cost of the two types of sig
mails as follows:
Automatic :. ;. $500. 100 $50. 90
Telegraph ;. :. :. 1000 1000
sewerage cost of signal; **Main-
tenance per signal per year.
From which it can be seen that the
question is largely one of operators
salaries, and of the number of sig
mails per mile. 1t must be kept in
mind that the automatic system elm
mates operators salaries.
The results of the operation of the
railroads of Great Britain indicate the
value of suitable signaling for the
safe conduct of traffic. In 1901, for
instance, the total railroad casualties
in the United States were 5S,185 kill
ed and injured, while during this
same year the British railroads made
the extraordinary record of not a
single passenger killed. Although car
rying nearly twice as many passen-
gers annually as the American sys-
TENS, the railroads of Great Britain
average only about one-sixth of the
number of casualties due to all causes.
This remarkable showing is, we be-
lieve, due to the very complete man.
ner of equipping the several rail-
roads with signaling apparatus.
Although the block system was al
ready largely employed by the British
railroads, it's use was made compul-
sorry by law in 1889, and since 1898
practically all of the roads of Great
Britain have been entirely operated un-
der this system
A table giving a. summary Of rail-
road accidents in the United States
for the year ending March, 1908, pub
lished in the Railroad Gazette, and
based on the reports of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, shows
that out of total of ninety-two dis
astrous collisions reported, fifty zap
parently would not have occurred if
the block system had been in force"
These fifty collisions caused the death
of 130 persons and injury of 447, be-
sides money loss of over half a
million. Or, to put it another way, a
careful analysis shows that rs per
cent of the deaths, 7S per cent Of the
injuries, and "a per cent of the finan-
cial loss on non-block signaled roads
would probably have been prevent

minnesota RATE SUIT
Federal Court Continues Former
Restraining Order.
COMMODITY RATE ENJolNED
Two-Cens Fare and Merchandise Rates
Will Remain in Force Pending
Final Decision.

Judge William Lochren, in the
United States circuit court at St. Paul,
has issued preliminary order con-
tinuing the order made at a previous
hearing, restraining the enforcement
of the commodity freight rates pre-
scribed in chapter 232 of the Laws of
1907, but refused to issue a manda-
tory injunction taking out the 2-cent
passenger fare prescribed by the leg
islature and the merchandise rates
ordered by the railroad and ware
house commission on Sept. 6. The ef-
feet of the order as whole is to leave
matters in status quo pending a de-
cision on the merits.
In delivering his opinion Judge
Lochren severely denounced the pen
alties prescribed by the rate laws.
They are as severe, he said, as the
penalties provided for the worst
crimes and are vicious in principle
and disgrace to the state.
In view of these penalties, which
virtually shut the door of the state
courts in the face of railroad officials,
Judge Lochren held that the direc-
tors were justified in not bringing
proceedings in the state courts. Such
action would have made them and
their subordinates liable to imprison-
ment. There can be no question, said
Judge Lochren, that such legislation
is vicious and reproach upon the in
telligence and sense of justice of the
legislators.
The decision also overrules the de-
murrers interposed by the state on
the grounds that the rate suits are
suits against the state, preventing it
from carrying on is governmental
functions, and as such are prohibited
by the Meventh amendment to the
federal Constitution.
The other objection taken by de-
murrer is that the suits are multi
farious, parties and causes Of action
being improperly united. Judge Loch-
rem disposed of both. of these object
tions in favor of the complainants.
The decision, therefore, preserves
the rates now in force until the ques-
tions raised can be determined on
the merits. This is in accordance
with tho request which Judge Thomas
Wilson, general counsel for the Oma-
ha road, made in court, speaking for
the Omaha and the Chicago and North
western roads. =
