MAIL CLERKS
ARE RESPONSIBLE
Department Makes New
Ruling Holding Railway
Mail Clerks Reliable.
i. S. WONT PAY DAMAGES
Clerks Declare That New Ruling Is
Unfair to Them and Made
Virgous Objections.

There are few people who in their
time have not seen a mail sack flying
from train while the latter was going
at the rate of 80 miles an hour.
While the sack is only leather or
canvass and as in the rural district
contains only little mail everybody
realizes that the momentum of the
empty sack alone would be enough to
break the bones in any mans body If
it should happen to strike him. Not in
frequently have people been hurt by
flying sacks and Uncle Sam has had
to pay for damage suits. Now, how
ever, he has made a ruling that Will
hold the mail clerk responsible for any
accident that may occur through a fly
ing sack. They have been notified and
are accordingly greatly alarmed.
VIII Be Fined.
The notice is coupled with the ac-
count of a damage case recently tried
by a jury in Ohio and in which the
mail clerk compromised by paying
damages amounting to $500. The de-
partment declares that not only are
the railroads going to hold the mail
clerks responsible but that the de-
partment will in addition, assess a fine
for violation of the rules for handling
pouches when thrown off of moving
trains. The mail clerks declare that
the effort to hold them responsible is
unfair because the government has been
lcriminally slow in providing a safe
means of delivery of mail from moving
trains. 1t is claimed that there are
a number of devices on the market
which make it perfectly safe to throw
a mail pouch off train going at al
most any rate of speed.
/ number of these devices have been
tested by the government and one or
two of them have been found to be
efficient. Despite this fact, the govern
ment delays it providing such facilities.
choosing rather to stand the risk of
! loss of mails and damage to persons
and property. The official order of the
railway mail clerks, therefore. petition
the department to take speedy action
toward providing a safe mail catch.

fore the judge. says the Michigan City
Dispatch. She apparently was the eld-
est of family of nine children and was
inclined to incorrigibility. The father
told a long story about the hard times,
the large family dependent upon him
for support and his further burden
caused by mortgage on his little
home. He could not support his daugh-
ter in idleness, he said, and he wanted
her placed where she would be well
cared for and kept from drifting into
evil ways. The court concluded that
the girl ought to have chance to aid
her parents and grow up to good and
useful womanhood without the stigma
of having been incarcerated in a penal
institution, so he turned her over to

CONFERENCE IS
TO Be HELD TODAY
County Commissioners May
Decide to Stand Share
of Expense.
BOARDS ANSWER NOT READY
Street Car Company Would Also
Have To Help Repair Sheffield
Avenue.

The conference between the board of
public works and the county commits
sioners who yesterday inspected Indi-
ana boulevard and Sheffield avenue with
proposition made on the part of the
county commissioners to repave Indi-
ana boulevard from the state line to
the Whiting line and stand half of the
expense in the repairing of Indiana
boulevard, the other half to go out
of the general fund of the city of
Hammond.
Board Is Considering.
The board has not yet given definite
answer to this proposition, since it
woul mean that the entire city would
have to help pay for the repaving of
Sheffield avenue and that this may be
discrimination against the taxpayers
In general since they have to pay for
their own pavement
The Indiana boulevard requirement
could be undertaken only after a petit
ton had been started.
Hammond has been turning in about
$4,000 annually in the county's street
fund and during the past five years
has received little in return. When
the county commissioners were asked
to spend some of this money In Ham
mond they said that their funds were
insufficient.
In the event of Sheffield avenue being
re-paved the street ca rcompany would
have to pace 16 feet of street. Ten feet
on each side would then fall to the
property owners or to the city whatever
the agreement may be.

The New Building Of the Public Health
Institution and Library Of the Med
ical and Chirurgical Faculty

Institution and Library of the Med
ical and Chirurgical Faculty
of Maryland.
The above mentioned building, funds
for which are now being earnestly sought
by the members of the medical profession
of Maryland, is certainly an important
piece OF work which must appeal to all
minds, both professional and public,
when the necessities of such building
are so apparent from the following facts.
In the first place, at present, all the
Bureaus of Public Health, the library
for the State Medical Profession, and
State Licensing Board, are widely sepa-
rated, and not in complete touch with
each other. This, of course, interferes
much with many details as regards pub
lie health and safety, and often leads to
unnecessary delay in the carrying out of
our duty to the public, and secondly, the
space at present in use is entirely made
quate for the routine work which such
Boards and the medical profession are
doing. ,..
This means that the State of Mary
land and Baltimore, if it is to continue
along the lines of improvement which it
has SO ably entered upon, and to keep up
with our progressive States, must have
large central building, freproof espec-
tally on account of its many valuable
archives and statistics, which when lost
are impossible to replace, thus showing
the immediate necessity for prompt act
ion both by the public and the Legisla-
ton to remedy the existing conditions.
The doctors of the State, in order to
keep up the reputation of their past fit
ness, and to forge ahead, need a. large
easily accessible library building, and
the proper facilities for holding their
medical meetings and the equally inn
portant public meetings, things, which at
present, cannot be fully attended to. So
it behooves everyone to interest their
friends and their Legislative members in
this important public work.
