development and adoption of appliances
to conserve human life. The whole civil
lized world is stirred with anxiety and
hope for the adoption of those safety de-
vices which will prevent the loss of life
and limb in industrial pursuits. And
don't know any method of bringing about
the use of such safety devices more ef-
fectively than in exhibitions of them IN
many varieties in such museum as
yours"
Justice Hughes wrote, in part:
From the outset 1 have been deeply In
terested in the work of the museum, be-
cause of the appalling number Of acct
dents seemingly preventable and the I'M
portance of directing public attention II
every possible way to all precautionary
means and appliances which may be
feasible We should make every en-
deavor to put stop to this unnecessary
waste Of life and effort.
Designed for Accident Prevention.
President Dodge cited that the museum
is the fourteenth institution of its kind
in the world. there being twelve IN
Europe and one in Canada.

PROGRESSIVE SENATORS
TO FIGHT OWN BATTLE
Stones Proposition to Join

Senator Stone of Missouri, democrat,
has written to a number of his demo
cratic collea CUES and to some of the more
radical republican pregressives suggest
ing that upon the converting of the Sixty
second Congress the democrats and pro-
gressives get together and reorganize the
Senate.
This would mean parceling out the COM
mittee chairmanships and best assign
ments among the progressives and demo-
Gratis, and putting the old guard republic
cans at the bottom of the list.
To Fight Owr Battle.
Lacking positive expressions of opinion
from the progressive republicans thus
approached, ii is still the best judgment
of republicans here that Senator Stones
suggestion will not be adopted. Since the
election progressive republican senators
and representatives, it is said. have been
exchanging views by letter. and the ex-
change indicates clearly that the pro-
gressives intend to fight their own bat
