There Was a
Difference

When they we're little boys in

System Hauls 3o0,O00,000 Pas.
sengers and Only One Is Killed.

Figures given out yesterday by the Penn
sylvania Railroad show that in 1908 and
1903 its various lines carried total OF
299, 9,762.65S passengers on its 24,o0o miles
OF track, and that only one passenger was
killed as result of train wreck.
In 1903 the number of passengers carried
by the Pennsylvania system was 15S.oe',-
115. This WAS an increase of 11.bo per
cent over 1908. The number OF passengers
carried one mile on the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn in 1905 and 1909 was 7.170, ,56s,517, so
that for each mile travelled over the system
the chance of being killed was one in more
than seven billion.
One passenger was killed as result of
train wreck in 1909. while none was
killed in 1908. In the two years go pas
sengers were injured in train wrecks. There
were two fewer passenger accidents and
fifteen fewer freight accidents in 1909 than
in 1908.
The passenger trains on the Pennsylvania
system in the last two years have travelled
11S,407, ,S1S miles. The freight trains oper-
ated by the system in the two years hauled
about 125, 100000 miles.
Passenger traffic on the Long Island
Railroad is exceedingly heavy, owing to its
large commufer traffic out Of New York
City. This road carried 50.70s.5a7 passeu-
gers in 1908 and 1909, and no passenger or
employe was killed in a train wreck.

COLOR NO BAR TO HEAT
Red Underclothes Not a Success
in Philippines.

Washington. May 22.-Fantastic theories
regarding the use of cofored underclothins
to repel the heat in the tropics have been
dispeIled by report made by the army
board for the study Of tropical diseases in
the Philippines About eighteen months
ago five thousand suits of orange red Tn
derclothes and corresponding number of
orange red hatbands were sent to the Phil
ippines These were distributed so that
one half of company should be clad in
the new garments and the other in the
ordinary white underclothes
The army surgeons kept close watch on
the men. but they failed to find that the
colored underclothes brought any relief
from the tropical heat although British
army officers in India had reported that
such clothing was much more comfort
able in hot weather than white
The medical board finds that the coIored
underclotting which. by the way, was un-
popular. added materially TO the burden OF
heat on the system. Il was admitted that
the orange red is a protection against the
chemical rays of the sun, but the same re-
suit is obtained by the khaki and the tan
colored campaign hat of the American sol
dier
The experiments were conducted with the
greatest care. frequent records being. made
of blood pressure, of loss Of weight and Of
general condition. The results were the
same in the case of either the white skin
of the American or the brown skin of the
Filipino.

ROAD ANSWERS COMMUTERS
New Haven Takes First Step to
Offset Fight Against Raise.

The New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company has served its answer
upon the attorneys for the Mount Vernon
commuters, whose protest against increased
rates of fare is pending before the Public
Service Commission at Albany.
''From the admissions contained in the
answer, said Hugh NJ. Hewson yesterday
one of the attorneys for the commuters,
lit appears that at least one distinct gain
has been made. We have advised the COM
f;1uters that the sliding scale contracts con-
stituted yearly contract with the railroad
company. and that If the commuter per-
formed his part of the contract the rail-
road company had no right to cancel the
contract before the expiration Of the year
for which the contract was made. On the
railroads own admission any commuter
may now take out the first month of the
sliding scale arrangement. and the railroad
will have to carry out its contract for the
year at the present rates. The railroad
company expressly comedies this in the an
swer just received.
The answer sets UP nothing new to us:
it raises issue upon the construction of
the section under which we are proceeding
but we have already carefully considered
those particular points, and are now pre-
pared to proceed just as soon as the COM
mission will set date for hearing. This.
we expect. viii be set for early this week.

DENoUNcEs JURY SYSTEM
Pittsburg Clergyman, Who Served,

IBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.I ]

Pittsburg. May 22.-Deciarins that the
jury system is rotten" and that he would
never serve on another jury if he could get
out of it. the Rev Frank II. Lewis, pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal Church.
who served last week on the jury which
convicted Dr. L. c. Blessing, president Of
the Common Council, of bribery. in an in
terview tonight, said:
After my experience in the Blessing
case 1 firmly believe that juries should be
abolished altogether. The whole idea is
wrong 1t might be better to revert TO the
old-fashioned way of having man tried
by seven judges. The way juries are ham
died is not fair to the defendant To lock a
jury up until it reaches verdict is coer-
cion. and the jurors will hastily reach some
decision merely to finish the job

Judge Ford had refused TO allow him 10
