B. 6 0. WINS IN
BRAKE SUIT

A decision Of especial Importance
to the railroads was rendered In
favor of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road by Judge Burlington, of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals. at Philadelphia. on Thursday,
in what is known as the Sand Patch
cases, involving the scope Of the
general safety appliance act. The
point in controversy involved the
rights of the railroad TO use hand
brakes on freight trains being oper-
ated over the road. The Government
brought suit against the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, citing twenty-five
specific cases where handbreaks had
been applied on its trains, in the vi
cinity of Sand Patch. Pa. The rail-
road in defense claimed the right TO
use handbrakes in conjunction with
air brakes so long as the proper
amount of air pressure was MAIN
tanned in the train line, the use of the
handbrakes insuring greater safety.
The case had been decided in favor of
the railroad by the lower court and,
on appeal, was sustained by the
United States Circuit Court Of APP
peals.

NEW STATE BOARD
OF EDUCATION

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. March THE House
passed Senator Walls bill yesterday
afternoon to create a new State Board
of Education. as recommended by the
State School Commission. The new
Board shall comprise seven members
TO be appointed by the Governor, and
TO serve without compensation. Henry
Ridgely, who was given the privilege
of the floor, explained that the bill
was an entering wedge for the sci
entific study of the school problem
for the entire State. Every part Of
the State. he emphasized, is effected
by a lack of education in one part of
the State He said every school dis
trict in the State stands as a unit,
with no union between them, and the
truth is that Delaware is behind other
States in its school system. The bill,
he said, was to give the State a State
Board of Education that would be a
real Board with real powers. The
/ present State Board, which is a sort
4 OF an ex-oficio body, is in favor OF
the new plan. Mr.. Ridgely said. The

ditions.
