ENGINEER NOT GUILTY.

ENGINEER NOT GUILTY.
1t took the Jury that was trying
William r. Hartman, the engineer
on the Atlantic City express accused
of killing three persons at the Eliza
beth station last spring, but six min
utes to find a verdict OF not guilty.
Evidently the twelve men who heard
the Ease did not consider the en-
gineer responsible for the death Of
the parties.
As horrible as the accident was,
We believe that the public will sus-
tain the verdict In holding the en-
gineer guiltless. We do not believe
that any man who rises to the re-
sponsible position of running a To-
connective deliberately would run
down a group of people at a station
platform.
The main cause for reckless run
ming OF trains at the present time is
the desire on the part Of the rail-
road company to eliminate time. So
called flyers" are put on by the
companies and given a clean track
to get from one point to another In
as short a time as possible. The
quicker the trip Is made the better
the officials like 1t and the more
they boast about their road. En-
gineers are invited to take chances.
If they bring their train through
In record time and without an ac-
cident they are highly praised and
complimented. Often promotion
follows. They are encouraged to
do it again. If they are cautious
and slow up at danger spots and
lose time thereby. not making the
time that Is expected OF them, they
are either discharged or transferred
to less important positions.
But when an engineer, after tax.
Ing the chance that he Ia encouraged
to take. meets with an accident, as
in the case OF Engineer Hartman,
he il at onos discharged from the
service ~ being unworthy ana must
stand trial for naansiaughter IL
anybody Is brought to trial as the
result of such an accident, 1t should
be the railroad oficials, the men
higher up" who r really to
blame. instead Of the engineer. It 10
likely that the Elizabeth jury had
this in mind when II rendered the
verdict setting Hartman free Of the
charge Of manslaughter.

THE FIGHT ENDED.

Credit Ia due Acting Mayor Voor-

termination of the trolley fight
which. tor q time threatened to tie
up trolley car traffic in this city.
Realizing that the merchants
In the height of their holiday busi-
ness these public officials took a firm
stand In insisting that the difficulty
should be Strengthened at once. A
conference was held with the repre-
sentatiyes OF the trolley companies
at which an agreement was finally
reached. 1t will be noticed, how
ave that 1t was tho Jersey Central
that surrendered In order to ac-
commodata the public, and not tbs
Public Service.
A worse time OF the year for a
trolley fight could not be imagined
than during the week before Christ
mas. This seemed to mako no diff
ference, however. for those who
were back OF the movement. and It
was not until pressure was brought
10 bear on the part OF the city Of
hcials that the difficulty was finally
adtustsd.
While the Jersey Central has APP
parsntly lost IN their attempt to
benefit this public by giving atty
eight rides for $a.5o, those who
travel know where the blame lies
and public opinion will be formed
accordingly.

OF the great majority of the peopls
Doubtless there viii be a few who
win complain and make It as disa-
greeabIe as possible. but these peo-
pie should be made to understand
that IL they desire to have dogs
about them they should be kept d.
rectly under control and not allowed
to annoy anyone else.
The acting mayor has done well
to take action in this matter and it.

+ THE DOGS.

EM4HHNa
Prompt action has been taken by
acting Mayor voorhees,, IN reference
to the dog situation IN this city. 1t
IL plain that the present dog catch

81 getting othsrs 10 take up The
work has been put OF too long. The
indications are now that several
men will be put to work and dogs
VIII be scarce in this city for the
time being.
Not only are the dogs a source
Of terror, bur several persons have
called our attention to the great
nuisance OF having them about, par
tiouIarly on account OF the damage
done to property. One mar sug-
gests that the dogs not only wear
a muzgis over their heads but that
their feet be muzzled also. He re-
ters 10 the fact that last summer
much damage was done to his lawn
by dogs. To have shot or poisoned
them would have been to get into u
disagrseabls dispute with neigh
bors. It Ia plain. however, that the
dogs. to him, were q source Of ex-
pense and those who owned the AMI
mails should have realized this and
Kept their dogs at home.
Had 1t been a hoek of geese, or
some pigs roofing about q neigh
boris yard complaint would have
been made and action would have
been taken at once. The fact that It
was q dog. however. seems TO have
made Is permissible. although the
result to the property owner was
about the same. All these things
should BIO taken into consideration
by the dog owners. They should
remember that while they may think
q great deal Of their pets others do
not and for that a they should
keep their dogs confined to their
w premises or held In leash when
ON the streets.
II seems that tbs law protects q
dog that IL on the street In COM
n=ny with IS owner. The question
arises at once. what 10 considered

fact that the owner may be walking
along the side walk and the dog. al

lawns. barking at automobiles and

cepted as being Tin COMPANY With

oCULlST'S NEW DISCOVERY
Theory Of Process Of Vision Ia
Changed as Result Of Series Of
Experiments.

A new discovery with regard to the
phenomena Of the sense of sight has
been announced by DR.. F. w. Edridge-
Green, an eminent English authority
In visual research. He has found by
an interesting series of experiments
and tests that the process of vision is
not tho simple transmission by the
optic nerve to the brain of objects
photographed upon the retina.
The new discovery in non-technical
language amounts to this: In front of
the retina there is a small chamber
or sac of clear liquid which is In con-
slant motion OF currents or eddies.
Dr. Green finds that this liquid itself
contains distinct percepdve nerve
power which plays an important part
in conveying Impressions to the
brain.
In other words, this wonderful fluid
contains liquid nerves, so to speak,
which transmit to the understanding
considerable part of the impression
1t receives Of color. form, etc.

TO perform
DIFFICULT TASK
Utah Senator Named by the Vice
President as Member Of Special
Committee to Frame Laws

Washington, March 4. - Senator
Smoot has been named as a member
of special committee Of Congress to
go to Alaska this summer and invest
igate the whole question of legislation
for that district. One of the last
acts of Vice-President Sherman before
the adjournment of Congress was to
name the Senate members of this
committee, and Mr.. Smoot was one of
those selected.
No arrangements have yet been
made as to the time when the commit
tee will go to Alaska, and none can
be made until it is known how long
the extra session of Congress will sit.
1t is probable that Mrs. Smoot will
accompany the senator on the trip.
Besides Senator Smoot, the com.
mittee comprises Senators Nelson,
Nixon, Simmons and Bankhead, and
Representatives Fitzgerald of New
York, Shirley of Kentucky, Robinson
of Arkansas. Hamilton of Michigan
and Goode of Iowa.
Utah's delegation stands out promi
nently as having an important part in
the deliberations and results of this
session. Senator Smoot is in class
of hard, persistent and effective
workers by himself. Senator Smoot
has been looked upon this session as
the foremost member of the finance
! committee and he has won the distinc
ton of place among the leaders OF
the Senate.
He has introduced and managed 6
number of the Administrations meas
ures touching the finances of the
country, as well as the administra
tons public land legislation. Thi.
work has brought him into frequent
consultation with the President ant
members of the cabinet, who hav,
sought his advice and counsel and de
pended upon him for assistance.

Power Of Conscience.

1t is doubtful II many of the things

tie with conscience Conscience ia

straining hand upon the shoulder OF
the wayward impulse and pulls back
as no other force In the world. It ia
very difficult to trample upon an
awakened conscience. And those who
do 1t probably wipe away that con.
viction upon which the restraining In.
fuence of conscience is based. They
knew the prick Of conscience less
keenly than any others.
1t seems more often to be the part
OF conscience to awake to q realiza-
ton Of the situation after all Is done
and then remain like the magic word

and waking hours. Judging from the
activities around us. the average man
would reach the conclusion that the
errors which men most regret are
committed when they least realize
what IL happening. Most Of the mis-.
takes are made with blithe thought.
