MAKING TRAVEL SAFER.

W. l.. Park Of Omaha, general SUI
/ perlntendcnt Of the Union Pacific in
/ an address before the New York and
\ New England Association of Railway
Surgeons, at the Academy Of Medicine
described in an interesting way the
I evolution Of railroads in this country.
His topic was Conditions Necessary
flor the Safe Operation OF the Pail
road From a Constructive Point of
View Individuallzed; example Of Best
Organized Railway"
Mr.. Park pointed out the great ont
lay that is now being made to secure
conditions for safe operation. and TO
correct the hastily constructed lines
OF the era during which as many as
10000 miles Of rail was laid in one
decade. He told of the Publicity for
Accidents" inaugurated bv and in rso
on the Hartman lines by which ac-
cidents involving serious personal in
Juries, loss Of life or heavy propertv
loss are investigated by boards of in
quiry which, in addition To the rail-
road officials are composed of Unit
''''i'F 'ili''lof Sldle RONer-
hors' mayors along the route. business
men. farmers and other prominent cit
iz'ns whose integrity is undisputed
Mr.. Park feels that the Union Pacific
mas adopted such methods of operation
on MS line as TO make them feel per-
iectly safe i'm having those methods
carefully scrutinized by an inauisitlye
ana criticizing public without being
accused Of employing shoddy. unsafe
or loose management. lie further
stated that Publicity for accidents
removes from the officials the faint
oil alleged mercenary suppression. null
liiies yellow journalism and enlists
the assistance Of public sentiment to
enforce closer Observance Of rules
and law"
Another requisite OF a well organized |
railroad was stated to be the automat-
lc block signals. These are employed
extensively on the Hartman lines |
which have the notable reputation Of
possessing over 35 per cent. OF all the
mileage automatic block signals in
service on all the railroads in the
United states.
