Better Conditions the Aim.

The ultimate aim of this movement. ac-
coring to the commission, is to bring
about better conditions on all of the rail-
roads in the state. This aim cannot he
realized, members of the commission
hold, unless the policy they have outlined
is rigidly adhered to.
Tomorrow Mr.. Timanus and members
of the commission Will meet and decide
on a date when representatives Of the
operating departments of all the rail
roads in Maryland will be asked to meet
the members of the commission and con-
suit with them on some means to min
imize the loss of human life which, it is
said, is becoming common occurrence
in Maryland.
Mr.. Timanus wants particularly TO find
out if the safety appliances in use on
the railroads of the state are the best
possible safeguards obtainable, and also
wishes to assure himself that safety ordi-
Fnances enacted by the different roads are
enforced by the officials of the roads and
obeyed strictly by the employees.

INVESTIGATE ALL WRECKS
MARYLAND Public Service Com
mission Aroused by Re-
cent Accidents.

Recent railroad wrecks in Maryland,
particularly the wreck on the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis railroad
near Annapolis Friday and the wreck at
Hyattsville the same day, have stirred
the Maryland public service commission
to greater activity in dealing with &C
cidents. 1t is announced that the causes
Of all wrecks will be determined by the
commission, and responsibility fixed as
soon as possible after the occurrence of
the wreck.
The chief difficulty the commission has
to contend with at present in regard to
investigating wrecks on the various roads
which traverse the state, according to
Commissioner Timanus. is that prompt
reports of wrecks are not made by the
companies.
Until now only accidents in which some
person was killed have been reported to
the state board, but Chairman Laird of
the public service commission will insist
on a full and speedy report being made
on each wreck, no matter how trivial,
that occurs within the state. The state
board particularly wants the reports to
be sent to it as soon as possible. so that
a representative of the commission can
make a thorough investigation of his
own and determine if possible the cause
of the accident.
