SAFETY SHOULD


terminals caused by the movement Of
an enormously enlarged volume of
traffic, have greatly increased the du-
ties and responsibilities of train serv-
ice employees and multiplied the
chances of error on their part. Not
outstanding these added duties and
responsibilities which the conditions
Of modern railroading have imposed
upon employees, the methods of disci.
pine and regulations calculated to in
sure safety in train operation have
remained practically unchanged.
TO prevent railroad collisions ade-
quate measures must be taken first
to sreduce the chances of human err
ror TO a minimum and second to neu-
tralize the efforts of such errors when
it occurs. The recommendations pre-
yiously made by the commission for
legislation requiring the standardiza-
ton Of operating rules and the use of
the block system were designed to re-
duce the probability of mistakes by
employees, and those recommendations
are once more presented for consid-
Grafton of the Congress. Uniformity
and consistency in operating rules are
necessary to secure safety, and it is
not probable that a satisfactory code
which will meet the demands of mod
ern operating conditions can be Sc
cured without appropriate action by
the Federal government"
The commission points out that ex-
'essive speed has been an important
actor in many train accidents, and
hat conditions of safe operation are
often ignored in the effort to bring
asst trains in on time. This is a bad
practice, for which the travelling pub
ic is largely responsible, and it should
re discontinued. Adequate measures
hould be taken to compel low speed
wherever conditions require it wheth-

SUNDAY service At
main ST. NJ. [.
CHURCH
TEREsTINe SERMON YES
TERDAY MORNING.

Rev. J. N. Mcmillan preached at the
Main Street Methodist church Sunday
morning to large and appreciative
audience. He spoke of the feature
in the life of Christ through which
runs the meridian line Of truth, as it
relates to human destiny, calling at
tention to the fact that Paul was as
well equipped as any man who ever
lived to decide upon the most vital
fact in Christ's life. It was Paul who
found that the one essential truth of
the Christ was his death; and in his
own appropriation of that fact, Paul
was able to say, 81 am crucified with
Christ; nevertheless live; yet not
but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh | live
by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me and gave himself for me-"
Mr.. Mcmillan laid emphasis upon
the statement made relative to the
TRANSPORTATION scene, where it Is said
Moses and Elijah talked with Christ
of the death which he should accom-
plish at Jerusalem, saying it is very
significant that this referred to as
something he should accomplish, not
something that was to be done to him.
Paul's declaration that he determined
to know nothing save Christ and Him
crucified was in harmony with Pauls
estimate Of the significance of the
atonement made by Jesus, the one
who died, the just for the unjust. The
many personal assurances given Mr..
Mcmillan Of the appreciation felt for
his clear explanation of the Scriptures
discussed indicated that he had struck
a responsive chord in the hearts of his
hearers.

HICKEY LIKELY TO
GO TO DANNEMoRA.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 16.-J. Frank
Hickey, confessed boy murderer, was
arraigned in court today to stand trial
for the murder of 7-year-old Joseph
Josephs of Lackawanna. Since the
accused has confessed to the crime,
and also the murder of Michael Kruck,
the New York newsboy found strangled
to death in Central Park ten years
ago, 1t is generally believed he will
make a plea Of insanity in order to
escape the electric chair If the plea
is accepted Hickey will spend the re-
of his life in the asylum for
the criminal insane at Dannemore.
