REPORT ON WRECK
SCORES RAILROAD
New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Target for Caustic Criticism
from Commerce Commission.

The report Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the wreck on the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad
at Wcstpnrt. Conn. on October last.
in which min" persons We're killed and a
score or NOR. injured. Is a strong indiCt-
ment OF the officials of this railroad. and
points out that the deliberate ignoring
by this road Of recommendations by tn"
commission was responsible for the
wreck and that it WAS in every way
Heventablo The wreck was due to the
train taking a cross-over at an excessive
rate OF speed.
The commission strongly sets forth the
recommendations it made at the time it
Investigated the Bridgeport wreck on the
same road. in which fourteen lives were
l. st and many injured. and says that
following its report "the whole result of
such consideration as officials Of this
railroad have given the subject is a
re essimistic 1opeIessness, indicated by
testimony that we are at our wits
end &c"
The report states that the operating
vice president of the New Haven road.
when asked what hope he saw OF being
able to accomplish anything to prevent
the recurrence of these accidents an
would prevent absolutely such recur-
renee"
Commenting on this the Commission
says:
The public interest involved and a
decent regard for the safety of the lives
of those who travel do not justify a
great railroad in passively waiting until
some private inventor, at his own cost,
develops to full perfection appliances
which will absolutely prevent the re-
currence of such accidents"
The report says that the recommended
tions of the Commission are not man.
dntory, but, IF railroad directors and
managing officials remain passive and
give to such occurrences no such serious
consideration as the situation demands,
then it becomes the duty of public off,
Gals to bluntly and plainly point out to
them their duties as trustees of the
safety OF the travelling public"

FOUR WITNESSES
IN ARCHIBALD CASE
Twelve of the Thirteen Articles Of
Impeachment Yet to Be
\. Presented.
SUIT NOW MOVING SLOWLY

Twelve of the thirteen articles Of Inn
peachment against Judge Robert w.
Archibald of the United States Com
merce Court were yet to be presented
when the fifth session of the trial in
the Senate began yesterday. Four wit
nesses-G. a. Richardson, William P.
Boland. J. H. RittenhOuse and Richard
, Brsdley-had still to be heard upon the
first article. This article concerned
Archbald's attempt to buy the Katydid
culm bank, owned by the Erie Railroad,
at a time when the Erie had two cases
pending in his court.
Richardson, who was sick in New York
Friday when his name was called, was TO
testify to Archbald's visit to his office
in connection with the proposed clum
purchase by Archibald and Z. J. Will
Jams. Richardson is vice president OF
the Erie and vice president also of the
Hillside Coal and Iron Company, owner
of the culm pile. Boland was called TO
explain the drawing up Of the agreement
for purchase. in which Archibald is re-
ferred to only as a silent party" Rit-
tenhOuse is the man who made a survey
of the culm bank and estimated its
value at over $aO,OO0. Bradley is the coal
operator to whom Archibald and Will
Jams tried 10 sell the katydid at $40 800.
The second article, dealing with the
aid given by Archibald to an attempt
made to sell stock of the Marion Coal
Company to the LaCkawanna Railroad.
at a time when a suit by the owners
of the Marion Company against the rail-
road was before the Interstate Commerce
Commission and subject TO review by
-Archbald's court. il was expected yes
Ierday, would bring out a sharp clash be-
tween the House managers of the prose-
cution and Attorney WorthingtOn, for the
defense.
The original deposition made by Will
Jams before Wrisley Brown, special agent
of the Department of Justice. at Scranton
last spring, in which Williams described
how an interview between Judge Arch
bald and Manager May. of the Katydid
Culm dump. to Archibald and Williams.
was read to the Senate yesterday fol-
lowing the completion of the testimony
of Charles r. Conn. OF the Lackawanna
Railroad. In this statement Williams as
serted that udge Archibald became quite
excited" when Williams reported to him
that May curtIy refused to sell.
He told me to go back again next
day and that he would see BrOwnell, the
attorney for the Erie, about it

In the typhoid epidemic Of CasseL in 1900
lover 800 cases within 10 days, only those who
drank raw milk contracted the disease.

little raw milk is Used. CBerlineT.)
s.
1t has been found that among patrons Of
dsiries supplying properly pasteurized milk
and cream there occur but very few cases Of
typhoid. Rosenau.l

cream which contains at least twelve times
as many bacteria per volume as the whole
milk from which it was separated. tSchroe-

Mix trusts and others have spread the re-
ports that pasteurizing was harmful. Able
sanitsrizns have often disproyed this Chill

should not drink raw milk and cream; ii is

Properly pasieurizing means heating to 40
degrees Fahrenheit for twenty minutes. Home

dissemination is unreliable.
MORAL:
Either buy only properly rasteurized milk
