The coming convention at the ma
tional capital of the United Daughters
Of the Confederacy will be historical
in the realization of the splendid
Thought of the lovely woman who
planned it, that it will be the final
chapter in the story of the reunion of
the North and the Sunny South. EN-
phasizing that idea, incidents calcu-
lated to bind the sections closer to
each other have been given c%onspicu-
Gus positions on the program and also
in the perfected arrangements for the
convention, whose nineteenth annual
sessions will begin on the evening of
November 18th in the magnificent au-
ditorium of Continental hall, and will
last for one week. Prior, however, to
the formal opening, there are to be
two meetings which will bring the
women Of the North and South close
together, the first being on the night
of November II, when the Daughters
will be given an informal reception in
the Congressional library, and the sec
ond will take place in Arlington Ma
tional cemetery, when the United
Daughters of the COniederacy will lay
the cornerstone of the first confeder-
ate monument to be erected in the
federal national metropolis.
At the initial meeting in the i'm
posing home of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, Hon. William
Howard Taft, the president of the
United States, will extend a hearty
welcome to the daughters to the cap
ital of the Union. The ceremonies at.
tending the laying of the cornerstone
are to begin at 2 o'clock on Tuesday

which provided for the removal OF the

fields to the national burying ground.
There will be quite n number OF So
cial anairs during the convention
week, following the first business ses-
sion. which is to be opened by Cardi-
nal Gibbons with an invocation. Dur
ing the formal addresses by President
Taft and Commissioner Rudolph. and
the responses by Mrs. Alexander B..

general, Bishop Harding of Washing

there will be a presentation to the
Daughters of the battle flags Of the

White will accept the flags, on behalf

Among the notable functions, out
side of the reception by President
Taft, will be a luncheon at Annapolis
by the Maryland State Division at
Carvel Hall. and a reception by Gov
ernor Goldsborough, trips to Mount

dinner to the ifficers of the organiza-

MANY ACCIDENTS
ARE CAUSED BY
THE BAD RAILS

WASHINGTON, Dec. Safety
first" is the paramount rule OF train
operation suggested by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in its twenty
sixth annual report submitted today
10 Congress. Discussion Of disasters
on American railroads during, the last
year constitutes an important feature
of the report.
1t is pointed out that many of the
accidents resulting in fatalities might
have been averted by the exercise of
proper precaution or the employment
Of suitable devices and good equip.

Gates an increase over the. previous
year of $50 in the derailments duo

equipment.
Tho investigation by the commits

volying loss of life. the report says.
has proceeded far enough to Indicate
the need OF more elective measures
than thus far have been taken to Sc
cure safety of railroad travel While
the previous suggestions of the com
mission as to the adoption OF the rail-
roads of all-steel, or steel-underframe
cars are being adopted ''as rapidly as
conditions will permit and the dan
ger from the use of unsound cars is
gradually disappearing, the serious
dangers OF defective roadway and the
Fuse of unsound rails still remain, as
ia result Of which deraiiments are
likely at any time to occur. Concern
ing its Investigations, the commission
says
"of the thirty-one derailments in
| restlgated, fourteen were either d.
rectly or Indirectly caused by bad
track, In 1--WE of these fourteen cases
the derailments would probably have
been avoided had existing speed re-
strictions bceh observed; but in all
the remaining cases no adequate
speed restrictions we're in force, and
in three cases the track cor ditions
were so obviously unsafe that &ersil-
ments were likely to occure even at
low speed. In one serious derail-
ment an examination OF the track in
the vicinity of the accident disclosed
9o6 rotten ties within a distance of
l4T rail lengths. Under many of the
rails there were as many as eleven
bad ties. and under each of two rails
there were twelve ties SO badly de.
cayed and broken as to be totally UNI
