American Railway Association
Today Begins to Enforce
Explosive Rules.
MADE BY ARMY OFFICER
EMPHASIZE DUAL RESPONSIBLE
TY, IN INTEREST or PUBLIC
SAFETY, ON PART OF THE
SHIPPER AND CARRIER.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 2.-As further
step toward adding to the safety Of
railroad operations. the lines compris-
ing the American Railway association
and operating 246.172 miles OF line in
the United States. Canada and Mexico
will, beginning today, put into effect
tnflammable articles and acids. These
arc complementary to the rules of the
interstate commerce commission, ef-
fective April ID. 1909. for the trans
portation Of explosives. The Pennsyl-
vazia Railroad company has had these
rules printed and distributed, with in
structions that every employee con-
and be governed accordingly.
Dual Responsibility.
These regulations for the transpor.
tation OF dangerous articles have been
formulated by Col. B. w. Dunn, u s.
A.. chief inspector of the bureau for
the safe transportation of explosives
for the American Railway association,
and are based upon an act Of congress
approved May 80, 1908 and they are
designed to emphasize the dual re-
sponstbihty, in the interest of public
safety, that rests upon the shipper and
the carrier.
The particular purpose is that the
shipper shall know the true character
istics of his shipment and familiarize
n WI M -
regulations in order that he may in
form the carrier by use of prescribed
certificates and labels.
The Importance of the regulations
may be realized from the fact that
there are in this country more than
$50 factories, the combined product of
which In the course of year is over
6O0, 100000 pounds of explosives. In
1905 single railroad transported ov-
er 91,000,0O0 pounds Of explosives and
used for this purpose 10000 cars.
But Little Trouble.
Since the bureau referred to began
its operations, there has been very
little trouble from the transportation
Of explosives in the United States,
and it is believed that when the work
of the bureau has been fully devel-
oped. the danger from this source will
have been reduced to a minimum.
The thoroughness with which this
campaign for safety has been pursued
may be indicated by the fact that
special supervision is given not only
to the transportation of powder, dyna-
mite and other heavy explosives, but
it is now provided that special cars
shall be pursued in the handling of
any material that gives off inflam-
mable vapor at or below a tempera-
ture of 80 degrees Fahrenheit; mater
ials subject to spontaneous combus-
ton: materials other than acids that
are liable to cause accidents by fric-
ton. conclusion, absorption of mois-
ture, contact with organic matter and
otherwise. Special rules also govern
the handling of compressed gases of
liquids, as well as a list of eight of
tho most virulent acids and corrosive
compounds.

OrvjIIe in New Machine Three
Times Circles Parade
At Fl. Myer.
cHEERED BY THOUSANDS
AERONAUT STARTS BEAUTIFUL
" AND IN EVERY INSTANCE
LANDED HIS CRAFT WITHOUT
ANY MlSApvENTURE.

Washington, D. c.. July 2.-Orville
Wright late yesterday encircled the
Fort Myer drill grounds time after
time in his aeroplane in three success
full flights, while thousands cheered
him.
After the unsuccessful attempts OF
the last two days, the performances
were inspiring While the machine
oscillated at certain points, and dipped
and rose suddenly at others. 1t was
evident from the regularity with which
these things happened that they were
due to the condition of the atmosphere
and not to any fault of the machine.
Shortly before o'clock the aero
plane was wheeled from the shed to
the starting track. The damage sus-
tanned in yesterdays flight had been
repaired by splicing a new piece to the
broken skid.
How the start Was Made.
After the motor had been tested the
weight which gives the aeroplane its
start was hoisted mp and all was ready
for flight The propellers were
cranked and Orville turned on the mo-
tor. The screws whirled around at
what seemed the greater speed than
on the previous occasions, and as Or
Vile climbed into his seat Wilbur put
his hand on the right wing ready to
run along with the machine. Nodding
to his brother. Orville released the
machine and it started down the track
at a rapid rate. AS it neared the end
of the starting rail Orville turned up
the forward horizontal rudders and
the machine rose>lto the air.
1t was beautiful start and the
crowd cheered heartily. Down the
field the aeroplane sailed. curved
gracefully about the lower end and
back up the east side of the field
along the edge of Arlington cemetery.
Wright was making short turns, but
as he seemed to gain familiarity with
the ground over which he was trav-
cling, he increased the radius of his
trips about the field. The first round
was made in fifty seconds. Five times
the machine skirted the field.
Swoops Down to Perfect Landing.
On the sixth round Wright came to
earth within a few hundred feet of
the starting point, completing the
flight in exactly five minutes. The
landing was perfect. the machine
swooping down in successive glides
until within few feet of the earth,
when Orville pulled the string which
stops his motor and the aeroplane
plided smoothly over the grass on it's
skids until it came to a STOP.
The machine was returned to the
starting apparatus, while the brothers
held consultation. Again the aero
plane was placed in position and an
other flight essayed. The start was
as successful as the first.
Reaches Height Of Forty Feet.
In his last attempt Orville remained
aloft for few seconds more than nine
minutes and encircled the field nine
and one-half times. For one complete
round he flew close to the ground, evil
IDENTIFY preparing to land. This he did
within 200 feet of the aeroplane shed.
During this last flight he went higher
than on his previous trials, reaching
a height of forty feet.

colleges say that the church. through its fear of TRUTH
has at all times been obstacle to progress"
The intelligent reader of such article will be able
detect its power arragnment of the church, and
the same, bring the colleges of the country in open conflict
and actual rebellion against the church If the colleges
of the country through the heads of their several depart
ments utter these things without fear of punishment
boycott at the hands of the church, it is selfeviden fact
that the day has dawned when the colleges and their
professors longer regard the church social
sty and that they further look upon stumbling block
to education and progress Modern education Is being
impaired upon purely scientific lines, and the church
has been compelled drop back, recede from every

says the college professors have reached that wherein
they dare assert that cvilzation is under the domina

held sacred is why they should be preserved
At this point do better than quote Mr.. Boce
again upon what he asserts coming from the colleges
1t constitutes the strongest count in the Indictment and
its every word is known to be true. He says
The present crusade of the colleges surcharged with

Mrs. Annie Hamilton, Stetsonville,

symptoms and tells how, by the Cardui

did, from ailments peculiar to women.
She says: "When / was suffering
from female trouble, l could not sleep,

l could not work, and could not stoop
on account of pain in my side. l took
medicine from three doctors without
