SAFETY" THE SLOGAN OF
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC

"Safety,' which is the watchword
ef hte Southern Pacific, is to be fur
ther ahead in its code. 1t was the
slogan "Safety First that helped to
make the record of 90 No Lives Lost
Through Collision or Derailment in
Nearly Four Years. on this road.
Now it will, through safety com
mittees comprising officials and en-
ployes, try for an even better record
for safety than heretofore and endeav-
or to prevent accidents of all kinds
AS much regard shall be taken of the
life and limb of the employe as of the
passenger.
This move means the organization
of main safety committee to be com
posed of the division superintendents.
Then there is to be a safety committee
on every division eto comprise the su-
perintendent, members of his staff
from various departmnts, conductor,
engineer, brakeman, fireman, yardman,
trackman signalman, bridge and build
ing man and shop man. Each of
these craftsmen will be the chairman
of another district safety committee.
Between meetings, which will be held
every mOUtH. edc0 committee SudH ell
tertain suggestions that will tend to
prevent accidents in all branches of
the railroad service. Then these sug-
gestions are to be brought up at the
division committee meeting and then
again at the general safety committee
meeting. If a shop employe mashes his
finger the shop committee will inves-
tigate and try and find a method
whereby others fingers will be pro-
tected from re-occurrence of the ac-
cident The members of each commit
tee are to be furnished with a button
of artistic design.
Many of the suggestions that come
from the employees may appear to be
of minor Importance, but at the same
time easy to put in practice. This is
to be encouraged by the committees
as the men on the line see many things
that mean for safety that may be inn
proved and thus minimize danger to
life and limb.

BLACK FOX FARMING
ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

There is on Prince Edward island a
new development which is attracting
great attention in the shape of raising
fur-bearing animals. 1t has been
proved that the climate of the province
is particularly suitable for the breed
ing of black foxes, and number of
farmers have embarked in the industry
with the most profitable results. The
fur of the black fox, owing to its rari-
ty. has become exceedingly valuable,
and the commissioner of agriculture
fer Prince Edward island states that a
pair of live foxes were sold recently
for $4,000 and another pair for over
$4,000.
The price of this springs pups was
over $4,000 pair and $4,000 pair,
while cash deposit varying from 10
to 25 per cent is being paid for fox
cubs that are due to be born in the
spring of 1913. Black farming, as
it is called, does not entail any consid-
cradle expense, the ranches consisting
usually of an acre of ground with a
steel-wire inclosure about fifty feet
square for two pairs, containing little
houses for the animals.-London Globe

DISCOVERS LOSS
OWING TO dream

81 see in the papers recently said
the ex-detective, 'stories of smooth

western city and which since has been
known in police circles as the dream
case
GA handsome and dashing grass
widow came from Seattle to visit her
sister, who was also grass widow and
kept house in an apartment. Upon her
arrival, she took off and hung up in
closet her travelling dress. Before
starting from home she had sewed in
the lining of the dress two one thous-
and-dollar bills, and having enough
smaller money to pay her expenses, did
not disturb the plant
"She remained with her sister for
two or three weeks, when she again
donned her travelling dress and took
the train for home. That night, while
travelling through the Dakotas. she had
an unusually vivid dream, in which
she thought she had opened the seam
! in the dress and found one of the bills
missing
"She was so chagrined at the loss
that she awoke, and setting up in the
berth, took pair of scissors and open
ed the seam in her dress, when she
found that one of the bills was indeed
gone. She took the first passenger train
back, and as her sister was the only
person she had told of the money and
| its location, she had her arrested. AT
the preliminary examination, however
there was no evidence against the sis
ter and she was discharged. Placing
the case in the hands of local detec
tive agency, the lady again started for
home.
"The detectives worked on the ease
for time, and finally susceeded in Sc
curing sufficient evidence TO warrant
the arrest of the sister and her servant
girl. The latter turned states evi
dence, and at the trial of the sister
swore that she had given her the ST.,
900 bill to have changed. Not wish
ing to go to bank with so large a bill
she gave il to her best fellow, asking
him to bring her the change. That
night the fellow came to see her and
informed her that he had seen sure
thing out at the race track that day
bet the 'chunk' and lost it. But az
this was the only evidence, with moth
ing to corroborate the story, the sistel
was discharged
sThe next day the servant girl wa.
taken into court, and on her plea o1
guilty was sentenced to seven years il

NUMEROUS PHANTOM
SHIPS OF THE OCEAN

The number of phantom ships is
legion. Several of the vessels which
were wrecked in close proximity to
the scene of the Titanic disaster are
even said to reappear in the same spot
on certain occasions. The Packet
Light is one of these, and the story
runs that whenever storm is threat
ened a ball of fire energies from the
spot where the ship sank, which pres
emily forms itself into the shape of a
vessel and then sinks and disappears.
King George V and his broth r, the
late Duke of Clarence, when on their
cruise in the Baechante from 1879 to
1882, are stated to have seen the phan-
tom of the Flying Dutchman, and the
Duke mentioned the fact in his diary
under date of July IL, 1881.
A three-masted frigate is said to
haunt the English channel in the vi
cinity of the Owen lightship when
ever gale or snowstorm is threatened.
Hundreds of people have declared that
they have seen the apparition and
heard the cries of the ghostly passen-
gers 1t is sometimes said to be the
phantom of the training ship Eurydice,
which went down off the Isle of Wight
on March "a, 1878, involving the loss
of about 200 lives.
There are a host of vessels which
have not been heard of since they
sailed, but one of the mos, marvellous

French passenger sailing ship. She

STEEL BILL PASSED
OVER TAfT'S VETO

President Taft yesterday vetoed the
steel bill. In message to congress
the president said he disapproved the
measure because it provided for reve-
nue. only and took no account of pro-
lection for American industries. He
condemned the ways and means CON-
mittee for refusing public hearings on
the bill. His veto was expected.
Mr.. Taft gave as another reason for
his veto that the bill affected not only
the iron and steel industry, but fifty
nine allied industries, which he said
were worth separate classification.
Mr.. Taft wrote he was not prepared
to say there were no items in the steel
schedule which ought not to be re-
duced, but he pointed out that its ad
valorem rate was an apparent reduc-
tion of 15 per cent from the duties of
the Wilson law.
bill for a complete revision of
this schedule was presented to me a
year ago in the extra session of this
congress-, wrote the president.
Many increases and decreases of
rates are now made from those named
in the former measure. The changes
are not explained and indicate the
hasty method pursued in the prepara-
tion of both. Is it not fair to ask
either on the basis of protection or
revenue, which was righte

tariff based on a non-partisan study
of the facts. l have provided the
means for securing such information
in the appointment of a tariff board.
Its thorough work, already completed
on several schedules, has justified my
confidence in this method.'
/ The president has said he also would
veto the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill carrying
rders to abolish the commerce court
and limit tenure of office of civil
service employees to seven years. By
doing SO the president would hold up
his own salary, that of ever member
of congress and every employe of the
| United States courts. Speculation of
the possibilities of passing the bill
over his veto are being discussed and
leaders are canvassing the house and
senate.
Bill Passed Over Veto.
AS soon as the president 8 veto mes
sage had been read the house Demo-
Gratis began an attempt to repass it
over the executives disapproval. The
Republican leaders entered upon a de-
termined fight against the plan and
a long debate was precipitated.
Within three hours after President
Taft had sent the steel tariff bill back
to congress with a message of disap-
proval, the house passed it over his
veto. The vote was l73 to pass it, S3
against it and one present and not
