H. H. Jacobs Takes 2250
Volts and Lives.

What is considered most re-
markable occurrence happened.
Monday morning. at the farm of n.
II. Jacobs, when a current of $3.50
volts of electricity passed thru his
body, with no injury except to in
hict severe burns, He was work
ing around his % hip motor, when.
in some manner, his back came in
contact with the switch board and
the little keys burned three big
holes in his back. The terrible shock
of 2250 volts rendered his arms use
less and il was with great difficulty
that he fell away from the board.
He lay unconscious for some time.
and when he came to, got up and
walked into the house and had some
local treatment applied to the
burns.
Fred Sherman drove out to the
farm that morning, as he does fire.
quently. and when he learned what
had happened, took Jacobs to DIR.
Milford to have the wounds in
nicted by the awful current, pro-
perly dressed, and in few minutes
he was visiting with his friends on
the street.
He was able to drive his own ma
chine into the city the following
morning and expects to continue his
farm work with very little inter-
ruption.

URGES ADEQUATE INSPECTION
"Ex-Ouartermaster" Declares Liners
Clear Without Any Now.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir As an ex-quartermaster OF the
White star Line. and one who believes that
prevention is better than cure might
suggest through your space that there
should be federal inspectors set aside Tor
the sole purpose Of inspecting every type OF
craft that carries human freight and see
that the lifeboats are fully equipped and.
last but not least. that the number OF boats
are In accordance with the number OF SOUS
on board? This should be strictly carried
out before the ship receives her clearance
papers from the port OF sailing. and should
be carried out 10 the very letter. Every
Ifeboat on board ship to-day Is supposed
10 carry regulation oars. boat hooks, glob'
ular lamp, cask OF fresh water, cask OF
bread. blue lights for distress signals ana
two spare plugs for the boat. The steam
ship owners and their captains word
should not be taken in regard 10 the safety
Of lives
IL this terrible sea disaster to be a nine
days talk or wonder, or are wa going 10
compel every shipping company to man
their ships with thorough equipment Tor
life saving? So long as the public 10 salts
fed with the miserable present number
OF ifeboats that are still found on board OF
the liners" and no protest mado TO gov
ernment officials, then so long will the ship
owners be perfectly satisfied in offering
eighteen boats to save three thousand lives.
The health authorities will board a ship
long before she docks for the express pur-
pose OF demanding a clean health bill be-
fore they will allow her to dock. and not
one government official is set aside for the
express purpose Of making strict exami-
nation into the lifehoats before the snip
leaves America. Lifeboats are our saviors
in times OF disaster on the high seas.
They are the only things that stand be-
tween life and DEATH and yet these big sea
monsters are allowed TO clear our shores
without any government investigation.
II IS high time that inspectors were set
aside for the sole purpose OF boat investi-
CATION This is not for the captains ana
ship owners 10 solve, as they have failed to
do that. So we now turn to Washington
for such endorsements In regard to the
protection Of humanity. Is not this worthy
Of some consideration? An ounce OF pre-
ventton is better than a ton OF cure.

TPICKSTgPS FOOLED.

1t is gratifying TO note that the ma
lority in the Senate which is standing
fast against the attempt Of the Demo-
cratic House Of Representatives to strip
the federal government Of one OF its
essential prerogatives under the guise
of providing for the popular election of
United States Senators has materially
increased since the deadlock between
the two houses began. a year ago the
Brlstow amendment TO the House reso-
luton reserving to Congress its present
power to control and supervise the
processes by which members Of the ma
tiOnal legislature are elected was car
rled after q tie vote only by the Vice
Presidents aid. A number Of tnsur-
gent Republican Senators Joined then
with all the Democrats but one-Mr.
Clarke, of Arkansas--in trying to sub
NIT an amendment which, if ratified.
would upset the present balance be-
tween state rights and federal rights
and would nulllfy the elaborate legisla-
ton which Congress recently passed to
limit the expenditure Of candidates for
United States senatorships.
The folly Of that procedure has now
become more apparent, and only one in
surgent-Mr. Borah--vOted last Tues
day with the Democrats for the House
programme. 4 motion TO adhere TO the
Senate's position was carried by ma
jority Of six, showing that any danger
Of that body's yielding TO the retro
gressive and impracticable suggestion
Of the House has passed away.
What commentary it wonld be on
the good faith and intelligence Of Con-
gress If, after all the oratory which has
been devoted to the Lorimer and
Stephenson cases and all the flaming
desire which has been exploited TO end
corruption in Senate elections by the
passage Of rigid federal corrupt prac-
tice laws. the Senate should calmly
Join the House Of Representatives in
submitting constitutional amendment
which, If ratified, would compel Con-
gress to renounee all power to discipline
the beneficiaries Of extravaeant or cor
rupt political expenditure! The Demo-
cratic leaders in the House have been
fighting a battle Of false pretence for
more than a year. They must now see
that their attempt to deceive the coun-
try has failed. Tuesdays action makes
1t certain that the amendment providing
for the direct election Of Senators can
never be submitted In the tricky and
dangerous form in which il originally
passed the House.

THE WFARNESS or THE STATE.
The state is reported 10 be unpre-
nared TO 20 on with the Thaw case
owing to the unfamiliarity Of its repre-
sentativeS with the voluminouS records
But why should the state enter this I'M
portant legal contest with counsel new
TO 1t and unfamiliar with It's history
when an able lawyer who has served III
all previous important phases OF 1t ana
who Is thoroughly familiar with its his
tory Is available? Without the services
of Mr.. Jerome the state will be under
the great handicap Of meeting an at
tack that has been several years IN
preparation with inexperienced repre-
sentatives who have had only a few
days to prepare themselves.
The expense Of hiring special counsei
is no good excuse for not employing TO
protect the interests of society the man
best qualified TO resist successfully this
latest and most carefully planned effort
Of the Thaw defence. The cost OF spe-
cial counsel would be slight compared
with the cost Of another criminal trial
in case this dangerous degenerate
should get free and return to his honi-

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: At this time, when many OF US are
giving thought to ways by which life may
DO safeguarded on tho sea, | beg TO sus'
gest a regulation which, II you think prac-
tIcabe, / wish you would strongly advo-
cate.
My proposal is that every man, woman
and child, including passengers and crew
on a steamship he allotted a stated place
TO go upon the sound OF the alarm signal
in case OF accident This would practically
be call to quarters by passengers as well
as crew. as is practised In the navy. This
could be arranged very simply by posting
I'm staterooms, hunks and various stations
where tho crew, steerage. second and first
class passengers sleep tho number OF the
boat and its location on the ship at which
they shall report upon the alarm being
sounded Practice drills could easily be
arranged at Il convenient time during every
voyage, the same as Il Is done in the public
schools In all our large cities. This would
prevent the great loss Of life which Is
generally caused by panic and lack OF or
der at such times OF excitement and would
only require the requisite number OF life
boats.
Such drills would not work a hardship on
any one, would be enjoyed by many and
would also lessen the strain In case OF
actual accident, as many would think It
might be only a drill, but would not risk
their chances OF escape By not going TO
quarters. EDMUND S. GEER.

true it may still be urged that the COM
pany should have gone far beyond the
demands Of the law and provided boats
enough for all, even IL none were re
quired. But Il is pertinent to ask now
many corporations or individuals even
among the severest critics OF the steam
ship companies do that sort or thlng
On the other hand. a grave RESPONSE
billty which cannot easily be avoided or
explained away rests upon govern
ment which Is content with such made
quate provisions for the safety of Its
people. Before we ask why the COM

quired we may we'll ask why the law
did not exact all that safety and COM

ask II the law is all IT ought to be In

REASONABLE, IF UNPRECEDENTED.

Lord Morley'S comments on the SEN
ste's investigation of the Titanic disaster
are marked by the learning and discre-
ton which are 10 be expected In the
utterances of that statesman, He re-
CARDS the case as unprecedented, and he
Is probably right IL Is true that two
cases have been recalled, both occurring
IN 1875, when the British government
held inquestS concerning the losses of
two German ships. But those differed
radically from the present case; first
IL that the inquests were conducted
with the expressed assent of the German
government; second, in that they were
specifically provided for by an existing
treaty, ard, third, and most important
In that the disasters occurred. not on the
high seas, but in British waters and on
the British coast. Not one Of those con-
ditions exists In the case OF the Titanic.
and Lord Morley was therefore right in
not regarding those inquiries as prece-
dents for the present one.
But what need is there of precedent?
Lord Lansdowne shrewdly suggested
that there was none when he observed
that while the American procedure was
certainly unusual. the circumstances
which provoked II were wholly unparal-
leled. His logic is-and IL is invincible
that an unprecedented problem may
require an unprecedented solution. In
vincible, too. is Lord MOrley's argument
that international law does not and can
not deny a state the right to inquire into
the circumstances under which the lives
OF its own people have been lost. And
that. and that alone, is what the Senate
committee IS doing. 1t is not concerning
itself with supposititious violations of
British law, or with desirable amend
ments thereto. or with the accountable
fly Of British ship officers 10 British
authority. All those matters can be
safely left TO the British Board of Trade.
What our government and our people
want 10 know is how n number OF our
own fellow citizens met their death.
and the fact that the tragedy occurred
under foreign flag and OH the high
seas does not in the least diminish the
propriety or the urgeacy Of the inquiry.
II IS to be judged. from the utteraDces
which we have cited. that the Sanest and

mETICAN FLCISSLTUDES.

1t is a particularly welcome assurance
which comes from Washington, on the
authority Of General Wood. that so far
as the United States is concerned the
situation In Mexico is now--or was the
day before yesterday-more quiet than
for months past. OF course. our concern
in Mexican affairs is primarily, If some
what selfishly. determined by their bear
ing upon our own interests, the tranquil
lily of the border and the security of the
lives and property of Americans in that
country. A skirmish on the border. with
shots flying across and hitting Ameri.
cans, is of more importance to us than
first class pitched battle under the walls
of Chapultepec. While. however. the
situation has improved in that respect,
it is difficult to sc: that il has improved
from the Mexican. or perhaps we should
say from the Maderist. point of view.
