ROUGH ON THE ROADS
Interstate Commerce Commission
BIames Increase of Railway Acci-
dents on bad Equipment and
Careless Employees

Washington, Dec. 17-"Safety first
is the paramount rule of train opera
tion suggested by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in its twenty-sixth
annual report submitted yesterday to
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 aNerted by the exercise of
proper precaut on or the employment
of suitab ble devices and good equip
ment. Figures given show that of the
stotal of S,z15 .derailments during the
Near, 1877 were caused by defects of
Gqadway and 85S47 We're due to de-
Ifective equipment. This indicates an
increase over the previous year of 652
in the derailments due to bad roadway,
a1a1 1,032 due TO bad equipment
Nearly so Per Gent Due to Bad Track
OF the thirty-one deraiIments in
vestigated, fourteen were either di-
reet4y or Indirectly caused by bad
track.
9O6 Rotten Ties
In oRe serious derailment an exami-
nation GOf the track in the vicinity of
the accident disclosed 900 gotten ties
within a distance of 147 rail lengths
In many cof these ties the spikes were
easily removed by hand, the wood hav-
ing no longer any holding power. The
track in Eile vicinity of this accident
was poorly ballasted and was unsafe
for the passage of trains at ordinary
speed.
Large Pereenfage of Wrecks Due to
Employees
The report says that "the most dis
fuieting and parplexing feature in the
problem of accident prevention is the
large proportion of train accidents
caused by dereliction of duty by the
employees involved. The commission
believes that rule there are no
men that have a keener appreciation
of their responsibilities than railroad
trainmen and enginemen," and yet it
is pointed out that 63 per cent. of the
whole number of accidents investigat-
ed were caused by mistakes on the
part of employees"

Urging Underwood

Both warm adherents of Oscar Un-
derwood, they were here to urge re-
cognition of their great Southern lead
er for a portfolio in the new cabinet.
Gen. Goltra, who is national execu-
tive committeeman for the state of
Missouri, has been in Miami several
days in conference with Col Bryan
and accompanied him to Jacksonville
en- route to St Louis.
Col Bryan left at 1880 last night for
Winston Salem, N c., and will go via
Washington to New York, where he
will be the guest at the dinner to
William NJ. Sulzer, governor elect of
New York
Col Bryan would not admit publicly
that he is to be in conference with
Governor Wilson in New York, but it
is evident that his arrival in that city
is timed to make connection with Mr..
Wilson, who will be in New York the
first of this week
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1912-12-17
Bryan's Influence Recognized

1t is a logical conclusion that Col
Bryan, while not the least being con-
sfdered as making up a slate for Pres
ident Wilson; still will be consulted in
the matter, and this is borne out by
the fact that national committeeman
from all over the country have been to
VI ami to see him recently, and other
men of political note have seen him
also by appointment.
Col Bryan had intended making but
short stop in this city, and his ap-
pointment to meet the Alabama dem
ocrats was for a short interview only,
but missing his connection here, he
was forced to lay over until evening,
and they had the whole afternoon at
their disposal to discuss topics dear to
their hearts in politics. While here
Col Bryan was the guest of his cous-
ins, Ex-Governor and Mrs. w. S Jen-
nings, at their home on Main street.

beer bottles as evidence against
the woman, and left a note de-
manding that she appear before

An anonymous letter received
by Justice Evans Saturday bore
information that Mrs. Lindquist
was running a disorderly house
