DISORDERLY WOMEN.

Several women, residing in the
northwestern section of the city, en-
gagged in a JOY ride last night. They
discoursed music while on the streets
and, as they evidently intended, at
tracted general attention. The wo-
men were cited to appear in the Po-
lice Court this morning to answer the
charge OF disorderly conduct, but
they failed to appear. They will be
arraiqned, however, tomorrow.

Weather Mixes Trains.

The recent cold weather caused
no end of trouble to many in the
transaction Of their business, but no
one was affected so much as the
railroad men, in the handling of
trains. But there are another set of
men other than the train crews and
the section workmen on the railroads
that have had "troubles of their
own" We refer to the men who
are responsible for the guiding of
trains to their proper tracks, giving
proper signals to trains from all
directions, and such kindred work.
When all trains are running on
schedule time, and the signals work
right, this work Is supposed to be
easy, and it may be so, but when
the signals get struck, and all
trains are off, their regular time,
the train dispatchers and those who
have the guarding against accidents
have a task that is not an easy one.
However, the men must do their
duty, and should be praised for their
faithfulness. The general public,
innocently no doubt, often add
much to the labor of the men in the
tower, by using the telephone. Every
body who contemplates going on a
certain train wants to know If it is
on time, and if the train will come
on time,, and if late how much.
People are not be blame for want
ing to know these things, but they
will persist in asking at the wrong
place. The Western Union Tele-
graph Office has telephone which
is number 1921. This is for the use
of the Telegraph Company, and is
not a general call number for all
sorts of business. 1t has nothing to
do with trains on the three roads
crossing near the tower. IF you
have an inquiry about the trains on
the Pennsylvania road call the ticket
Office, No. 7134, if your business is

Waste By Fire.

Do You know what the statistics
show the fire loss In the United
States to be in a yearf Well it is
big sum, and : amounts to over
$3.50, 000,000.00 a year. This is
$4,000 a minute. Besides the fire
loss is the cost of maintaining all
the fire departments, with men,
horses, and apparatus. Then the
lives lost must be added to the
money value, and the attendant sor-
row and suffering of those left de-
pendent. When we consider that loss
by fire does not redistribute, so that
there will be a gain in some other
commodity to offset the loss by fire,
but that it absolutely destroys wealth
drains the resources and prosperity
of the nation, and checks our growth,
then we can begin to realize the
extravaganza of fire waste. The bill
Is too big. We as nation cannot
afford such an expenditure.
There is a remedy. Education In
the lines of better construction of
buildings, greater care in preventing
fire starting, and in better methods
of fighting fire. Too much is laid
on the officers and men of fire de-
partments. People usually think that
it is the business of the Fire Chief
and his men to take care Of this
line of business or that when a fire
starts all they must do is to wait
till the iremen come, and then
blame them if they do not put it out.
People do not think that it is every
ones business to study to prevent
fire starting. The country need sys-
tematic education in preventing fires,
as much and more than firemen need
to study ways and means of putting
out fires. As in medicine, so In
fires, there is more gained in preven-
ton than in cure always. Consider
the enormous cost of fire waste,
and then strive to reduce it your
little part as an American citizen.

Is Your Chimney safef

Reports Of fires from all over the
country, and even in this city, call
attention to the necessity of looking
after the condition of the chimney
fiueS. VIII the ezra fire required in
severe cold weather, the fues become
coated with SCOT, which is liable to
take fire and burn with great heat,
endangering the buildings. To guard
against this the fues should occasion
ally be burned out under supervision.
This can be done by using paper or
light wood at the base of the fue.
In the case of stoves it is said that
few moth balls on the surface of
the fire with draughts all open viii
do the job. But, while the flue is
burning the roof should be watched
and, moreover, still day should be
chossn-but always do it in the day
time. If the chimney is old it is
best to look carefully that there are
no cracks leading to wood work.

EAST BOUND CATTLE TRAIN ON
PENNSYLVANIA TRIKES
BROKEN RAu-THROWN
INTO THE RIVER.
SIXTEEN CARS WRECKED
Milk Train is Sent Back to Plymouth
at Nine O'clock, and the Flyer
is Detoured to Other Roads
to Avoid Wreck.

A broken rail on the Pennsylvania
road over the bridge that spans the
Kankakee river near Davis, west OF
Plymouth, threw a cattle train that
was east bound into the river and
over the ground, breaking both
bridges, and stopping traffic COM
pletely Friday night.
The west bound flyer was detoured,
and all other trains that got through
at all were sent over other roads.
Trains were sent from Hamlet to
Knox and over the Nickel Plate road,
till they could be brought up to the
Pennsylvania tracks again.
The accident happened soon after
nine O'Clock Thursday night, and
crews from all the stations along
the line were called out. Sixteen
cars Of cattle were thrown off, and
some stand in the river in the icy
water. The cattle many of them are
in the cars In the water with their
heads sticking out, and many Of
them must perish. Every available
man and means is being used to get
the damage repaired, and it is said
that the bridge will be replaced In
twelve hours. The milk train that
leaves Plymouth at six In the morn
ing went as far west as it could, and
came back at nine o'clock and was
placed on its switch south of the
station. Trains with papers and
mail from Chicago were held up, and
complete stagnatien is the result.
The cause given is broken rail,
and it was fortunate that the train
to strike the place first was freight
and not passenger. Had it been
one of the fast passenger trains it
would have been a horrible affair, as
many would have been killed. The
poor cattle are the sufferers, and it
will be blessing if they can be put
out of their misery. Many people
are disconnected by the interference
with their plans. Mrs. ID. L. Dick
inson was summoned to Chicago by
the news of the severe illness of her
daughter, but the delay made it inn
possible for her to 60 till the trains
were running better. Many travel
ing men who were caught In Plym-
outh made out to change their routes
and 90 in other directions The num-
Der of people who are affected by
such an accident can only be known
by a visit to the different stations.

CABARET PROGRAM APPROVED
Nine. Mars Wins Praise by Interpre-
tive Singing Open
to Public.

The Hume-Mansur Garden last
night was the scene of another arts
tic cabaret performance, Nine Mella
Mars, Viennese diseuse; Bella Las
ky, Hungarian composer, and Albert
Fritez, tenor Of the Hoffburg Theatre
of Vienna, appearing in a program
that evoked the same praise from
the evening diners as was accorded
the artists at their first appearance
in Indianapolis Monday night.
Although Nine. Mars appeared for
her third engagement in the city un-
der the direction of Ona B. Talbot,
managing director of the garden,
many persons in the audience were
present to hear her sing for the
third time this week. The same
songs that she sang last night fea-
tured the opening program, but her
appearance was received even with
greater praise than she was accorded
Monday evening.
In her interpretive singing she dis
plays a\charm that is not lost in the
repetition Of the songs written by
the Hungarian composer who accam-
panies her at the. piano.
Albert Fritez also proved a great
favorite last night, his appearance
in the favorite operetta, "Brigan-
tino," winning marked applause.
OPENS Garden to Public.
Public demands were so great to
Mrs. Talbot yesterday to view the
garden and hear the European sing
ers that she. decided to open the gar
den for public performances during
the remainder Of the week. For
evening performances the admissions
will be 81. Saturday afternoon at
2:15 O'Clock a matinee cabaret per-
Torrance will be given, arrangements
having been made for seats at 81
and so cents. During the remainder
of the week the evening performance
that will be followed by la carte
dinners will begin at 8:15 O'Clock.
Public approval of the opening of
the new home for music and art was
expressed last night by repeated de-
mands for Mrs. Talbot to speak.
She thanked the patrons of the gar
den for their evident approval Of the
cabaret performances and explained
that membership cards in the Hume
Mansur Garden Association were ne
cessary to produce table service.
The popularity of the garden as a
place to give entertainments has been
established, according to Mrs. Tai
bolt. Arrangements were made yes
terday whereby two banquets will be
served in the garden in the near flu
ture, and Mrs. Talbot has been as
sured by several society leaders OF
the city that they intend to engage
the garden for RECEPTIONS.

The existing law for the elimina-
ton of grade crossings was enacted
in the year 1897, and in the fourteen
wears it has been in effect the state
has paid as its share of the expense
of elimination only $1,108,093. 43-
an average of but $79,149 per year. I"
The showing made by New York
State does not compare very favor
ably with the appropriation in
Massachusetts,, where the total
amount of expenditure authorized for
the elimination' of grade crossings up
to Jan. 1 ,1911, was $13,3O0,O0O, Of
which the state contributed annually
at the rate of 100000, in addition
to which special acts have increas-
ed this amount very materially each
year.
The amount of bonds issued for
the construction of state highways
to the same date was only about
So ,O0O, 900, barely more than half of
the appropriation for abolishing
grade crossings.
What makes legislatures take
notice of matters of this kind is a
public sentiment. When the people
see the necessity for a measure to
be projected, then the work of legis-
lators is clear. The frequency Of
accidental killings at grade cross
ings, forces the subject to the public
notice more and more every year,
and it is only question of time till
it will be impossible for a railroad
company to cross a public highway
on the same grade with the highway.
The depressing of one and elevat-
ing the other will then be taken as
matter of course, and no thought
will come that it can be otherwise.
Such elimination of grade crossings
is not alone a good thing for the
driver of vehicles of all descriptions,
but it is likewise good thing for
the railroads, for the engineer who
does not have before his eyes at all
times the likelihood of catching
some one on a crossing, will drive
his engine better and safer. That
one horror of hurting human beings
mangied beyond recognition, into
eternity, would be taken from the
mind of the engineer, and he would
feel a relief that would make him
in every way more useful to the
corporation he served.
Abolish grade crossings. Eliminate
crossing accidents by eliminating
the crossings, and rendering such
accidents impossible. This is being
fdone in some states. Why not
Eagitate the question in Indiana? The
proposition to improve the Michigan
road from Lake Michigan to Mad
ison on the Ohio river, as it was
originally laid out, making a uni
form roadway, where both automo-
biles and wagons can have fair
space to travel, should not be under
taken without provision being made
to eliminate every grade crossing its
entire length, both in cities and
country. Let such work be done
right, or not at all.
