railroad, the county and the state
making independent Investigations OF
the Grand Trunk wreck at Duffield

sengers were killed and eight persons

came evident today that some very
stringent action will follow.
Secretary Kelly, of the State Railroad
Commission is investigating for that
body, and Chairman Glasgow, in Lans-
ing, declares that if the Grand Trunk
is found to have used incompetent men
after the edict during the strike against
incompetent strikebrcakers, the road
will lie prosecuted.

Fl NJ the rear. iSa Strikebrcak"r held
Owe -.ncc the settlement.
CIR ham declared last night that the
tail lights OF the express were burning
and that he performed his duty as rear
flagman, and placed the torpcdocs.
Engineer Charles Spenser, OF No. 4,
declares no tail lights were burning;
that he was tagged, and that the tor
pedo exploded scarcely cars length
from the Inflated Pullman. He threw
on the emergency brakes and jumped.
The Grand Trunk is to begin its in
quiry before Superintendent Ehrke at
Battle Creek tomorrow, and will hear
all the trainmen's stories in an effort

Some striking indications of German
workingmen's prosperity are obtained ir
the Prussian savings bank statistics pub
lished today.
The deposits in the kingdom. which
comprises only two-thirds of the popula
ton of the empire, totaled G478,65O, 600 a,
the end Of 1905 Deposits during that
year were COZ 10000 more than in 1907
and the excess of deposits over with
drawals amounted to G6OOO,OOO.
The greatest increase of deposits over
withdrawals was registered In the heart
OF industrial Germany. the Rhine Prov
ince and Westphalia contributing 93 $50,
OOO and 93.0OOOOO, respectively.
There are rather more than thirty saw.
ings bank accounts to every one hundred
persons OF the population of Prussia
while the total number of accounts has
increased twice as fast as the rate of in.
crease of the population.
Experts predict that 1910 will bring the

Rest Related to Work
From the Survey.

from the survey.
In brief prepared in defense OF the
Illinois ten-hour law by Louis D. Bran
deis, assisted by Josephine Goldmark, it
Is maintained that to keep health and
vigor at par the periods of rest should
therefore bear such a relation to the
periods OF work that the fatigue Of each
day Is completely repaired before the
work OF the next day begins. The ideal
for the weekend rest is that 1t should
be an opportunity for increasing strength.
so that each working week would begin
at higher level. and not. as 1t now is
for the most part, merely for making
up an accumulated deficit
A long working day not only involves
"a greater expenditure of effort, but ii
also leaves shorter interval for rest
II normally. for example, the fatigue ac-
cumulated by o'clock, when work be-
gins at In the morning and there Is
an hour for rest at noon, can be elm
mated before the next morning. then
by prolonging the work until Z the fatigue
products In the body are increased by q
proportion which we know must be more
than one-tenth and the time for counter
acting them is decreased by one-thir-
teenth. II this goes on day after day,
week after week. year after year, we
get a mathematical calculation by the
side of which the calculation OF Nautilus
about the increase Of population fades
