DEGREES ACCIDENT TOLL
Employees More Careless of Life Here
than in Europe, Pastor Declares.

The Rev DR.. John d. Long preached a
sermon in the Parkside Presbyterian
Church, Flatbush, yesterday, taking for his
text Luke. tx, S. For the son of man
is not come to destroy mems lives, but to
save them" DR. Long referred TO the
enormous mortality among the laboring
class of this country through accidents by
machinery. mines. etc, and stated that the
National Association of Manufacturers was
taking I'D the consideration of industrial
insurance as a protection for the employees.
Dr. Long drew the attention of his hear
ers TO the fact that last year in the mills
the mines and the factories of this country
more than half a million men, women and
children were either killed or injured while
at work He contrasted these figures with
the mortality records from the same causes
in France and Germany, and said that the
toll exacted in this country was more than
four times as great.
The movement to lessen this great num-
Der of accidents was started this year by
Ferdinand c. Schwedtman. OF St. Louis,
chairman of the committee on industrial in
surance of the National Association of
Manufacturers. Last winter he mailed more
than twenty-five thousand descriptive pam
phlets to as many employers in the United
States. asking their cooperation in the
movement Replies were received from
more than ten thousand. and out OF this
number only three we're against it.
The speaker said that the reason the
death and accident rate was higher In this
country than abroad lay in the fact that
persons in this country were more care
less OF their personal safety than IN Ger
many and France.

their foundations, pieces of boiler plate

London. May 15.-The official pro-
sramme for the removal of the body of
King Edward from Buckingham Palace

posing than that which will be seen at
the funeral.
Following the coffin, which viii be
drawn on a gun carriage, King George,
the royal princes and all the kings and
princely guests will walk, together with
the members of the late Kings house
hold, the lords and grooms in waiting,
court dignitaries, naval officers and the
Queen Mothers household. Then will
come a procession of nine carriages, with
the Queen Mother and all the imperial
and royal ladies.
On arrival at Westminster Hall the
late Kings company of the Grenadier
Guards, which will have charge OF the
coffin throughout the ceremony, Will place
the body on the catafalque. After the
regalia have been laid on the coffin the
Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct

King George. Queen Mary. the Queen
Mother and the royal family were pres
ent tonight at solemn service over the
body in the Throne Room at Bucking-
ham Palace. One of the most impressive
displays was the hourly change of guards,
who, in full uniform, with hands crossed
on reversed rifles and with heads bowed.
stand like statues at each corner OF the
catafaIque, with an officer in the same
attitude facing the bier. Not muscle
is seen to move. At the end of each hour
a bugler silently leads the relieving
guard in, and the change Of guard is
made noiselessly One hour of this i'm
mobility has been found SO trying to the
men that after tonight they will be re-
lieved each half hour.
Solemn services were again held in all
the churches throughout the kingdom to-
day. The troops which will line the
funeral route on Friday have been as
giduously practising the funeral drill.
Curiously. not one of these thirty thou
sand men will see the procession pass,
for when It approaches, at the word OF
command, the troops will assume an at
titude with heads bowed over their hands
on their rifles, and will so remain until it
has passed.
