Superintendent Blamed in
Warren Trolley Wreck,
Confusing and Improper Giving
OF Meeting Order.
Auburn Man Assistant 10 Chief OF
Division, Military Affairs.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Wednesday, Sept. 81 at 10 A. M.

The State board of railroad commits
sioners, Friday made public its special
report upon an accident which oc-
Cured at Warren, Aug. on the line
of the Rockland, Thomaston and Cam
den Street Railway. in which one per-
son was killed and six injured. The
two cars involved in the collision
were the regular Warren car in charge
Of Conductor Condor and Motorman
kalloch, while the special ear was i'll
charge of Motorman Stanford and
Fred Butler as conductor Motorman
Stanford was seriously injured in the
accident and his deposition was taken
at the Knox General hospital and thus
placed before the commissioners.
The commissioners find that eondue-
tor Condor and Motorman kallocb Of
the regular ear are blameless; that the
accident resulted from the confusing
and improper manner in which the
meeting order was given by Supcrin
tendent Chisholm, but that the acct
dent nevertheless might have been
avoided by the exercise of reasonable
care and prudence on the part Of Those
operating and controlling the move
nents of the special ear.
The report further says: The rail-
road commissioners think IL proper Ia
state that they strongly disapprove of
the method of communicating impor-
tant orders which was adopted in this
case. orders should be given in
clearer and more certain manner We
believe that safety of public travel re-
quires that such instructions and or
ders shall be given in every case to
both the conductor and motorman.
we do not find that Motormaa
Stanford is without fault. unless he is
correct in his statement as to what
took place at the trotting park where
in he says that Conductor Butler after
talking by telephone to Superintendent
Chisholm Informed him that they had
a clear road to Warren: that II Was all
right and to so ahead.

He knew that he had received meet
ing order from MIR. Chisholm and he
should have made IL certain that he
understood the order correctly. that
the conductor vas in control of the ear
was not sufficient to excuse him from
this duty The fast that the superirI-
tendent gave him the instructions
should have put him upon inquiry as
to whether or not they had been COM

pecially is this SO in view of the in

W are also sending western fish

The Great Lakes.
"How about the fish of the Great
Lakes?"
They are valuable, but we have
a great G of trouble in controlling
the industry because we have no
national or international laws re
g4rding it. Each State does as il
pleases, and the Canadians do as
they please. The result is that there
is a great destruction of fish and espe-
cially Of the whitefish and other
valuable varieties. Nevertheless. we
are annually getting 1876, 600, 900
pounds of fish from those lakes and
u interior waters. and the greater
part of this comes from the lakes.
We are doing what we can to increase
the lake supply. We have one sta
ton on Lake Erie where, in 1907.
our collections of whitefish eggs
reached a total of $4,000, 900. We
men for the most part and gathered
the rest ourselves. We have a num-
Der of such stations on the lakes and
also we'll equipped hatcheries.
In the same way We are collect
ing the eggs Of the pike, perch and
lake trout, and are doing much to
improve the supply of these and
other valuable fishes"
How Fish Are Distributed.
"How is it possible to carry fish
over the country S o that they will
keep alive and grow when planted2"
1--WE dc that in various ways. We
have Specia cars. each of which is
walled with twenty or more large
water tanks in which the fish are
carried. There are also cOmpart-
ments which hOld more than a thou
sand gallons of reserve water. We
have q boiler roOm on Sucn a ear,
and a plant to pump water and air
into the tanks. There are also sleep
ing places, and a kitchen and a
pantry for the men. These cars may
be attached to a regular train and
dropped off as needed. In sending
small shipments we use ten-gallon
cans. which are carried in baggage
cars. The cans are handled by our
own messengers. In some years our
cars and messengers travel owe 900
900 miles in distributing young fish"
