and score or more injured, is strong
Indictment of the officials of that road.
II charges that the deliberate ignor-
ing by this road of recommendations by
the commission was responsible for the
wreck and that il was in every way pre-
ventable. The wreck was due to the
train taking crossover at an excessive
speed.
The commission sets forth the recon-
mendations it made at the time it inves-
tigated the Bridgeport wreck on the
same road, in which fourteen lives were
lost, and many injured, and adds that
following its report "the whole result of
sceh consideration as officials of this
railroad have given the subject is pes
simistic hopelessness, indicated by tes-
timony that we are at our wits end"
Never before has the interstate COM

HIGGINsoN FOR CENTRAL BANK.
Boston Banker Advocates Profit Sharing
With Labor.

Boston, Dee. major Henry l.
Higgnson, the banker, advocates profit
sharing as partial solution of the pres
ent economic unrest and as fair re-
turn to labor, which helps to produce
the worlds wealth. To remedy certain
national tariff and changes in the bank
ing law He said:
The general adoption of profit shar-
ing would tend to eliminate labor strikes
and lockouts, and would stimulate la
Dor to greater epdeavor, with the result
that capital would benefit eventually.
| do not fear evil effects from re-
vision of the tariff, | have always
been a free trader but as it is not prac-
tical to have complete free trade, a wise
and fair revision of the tariff is reed
ed and may be hoped for. With low
tariff there will be less money to waste
on foolshness. The nation will -four
ish even if its receipts and expendi-
lures are greatly reduced.
The most important task before Con-
gress, however, is a proper banking law.
With such law we should not have
had such an orgy as that Of 1907. We
should have a central bank in which
the government funds are kept and this
band should be properly controlled by
the government.

GRAND TRUNK DISSATISFIED.
Turns Down Mellen Offer for Traffic
/, Agreement.

Boston, Dec GA letter received in
Boston Saturday from President Cham.
iberlain of the Grand Trunk railway an.
mounced that the tentative draft Of a
traffic agreement with the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad was
mot satisfactory to the Grand Trunk.
NO final agreement was expected to be
reached before January !. President
chamberlain, in letter to the Boston
News bureau, said:
"The New Haven people submitted
a draft of the proposed traffic arrange
Iment, which, while satisfactory so far as
it went, was not acceptable to the
Grand Trunk and the Central Vermont
companies, and was therefore declined,
with the understanding that we would
submit a counter proposition.
The officers of the two companies
Grand Trunk and Central Vermont--are
working on our proposition, but the in
terests are so varied, and there are so
many points to cover, that it requires
Ia great deal of time and consideration,
and it is not propable that it will be
ready to submit to the New Haven peo-
pile until after the new year.
You can assure the people of New
England that if any arrangement is
finally arrived at between the companies
interested, their interests will be fully
protected. As above suggested an ar
such as contemplated is of
too great Importance to be entered into
hastily.

Danger of Common Colds.

| Ever since the influenza epidemic OF
| lSS090 we have experienced waves OF
infectious catarrhal colds, which have
been spoken of as influenza, or grip, or
simply as cold. To these infections
the infant seems to be especially sus-
ceptible. When one of these colds in
vades household, several of its mem
bers usually contract it, While some
adults may escape, the baby or the child
of runabout age is almost invariably
affected. These infections spread rapid
ly and with great certainty through
the wards of institutions caring for
young children. During recent winters
in one institution the sickness from this
source has far exceeded that from all
other infectious diseases of childhood.
One of the most important results is
its interference with nutrition. This
is of somewhat less Importance among
children of the runabout age, but in any
group of bottle-fed infants such in
lection not only prevents gain but is,
as rule, accompanied by definite loss
in weight. We are too prone to look
on these colds as local affections when
they are, in reality, infections.
When a group OF children in fam
lily becomes infected. we often see es-
tablished house infection with, at in
tervals, reeurrent outbreaks, which may
extend over number of months, un-
til the advent of warm weather or
the departure of the family to the
country. This experience is so gener
al in New York as to be matter OF
common report among parents. Some
susceptible children are kept free only
by continued residence in the country,
but unfortunately suburban colonies and
country towns have their own share of
epidemics.
The amount of injury done young
children each year by such colds can
scarcely be estimated. During the prev
alence of such colds, the possibilities |
Of infection are excellent if the young |
child travels by train, rides in public |
or is taken to hotels or
'rowded shops.
Only recently. says DIR. Thomas S.
of Boston, in a recent issue
IF The journal of the American Medical
Association, have we begun TO appre-
,iate the ravages of these subtle forms
II infection. With such knowledge. II
goes the normal obligation TO throw

iairly, and TO do all in our power TO les

ALLEGED DYNAMITERS
BUSY EXPLAINING
Mooney Says That by "New Trick" He
Meant a Modification of
Union Rules.

indianapolis, Dec. 9.-Many letters
passing between John j. Mcnamara
secretary of the Iron Workers union
and William L. Redding of Milwaukee
Il local business agent, were read by the
government in its cross examination OF
Rcdding at the dynamite cnspiracy''
trial Saturday.
Redding testified that Milwaukee was
the headquarters of a structural and
steel firm against which the union had
called strike, and Mcnamara was ac-
customed to write asking about jobs to
be put up by the firm. The witness
said he usually supplied the information,
but he denied knowing that it ever was
used in connection with explosions.
In one letter Mcnamara wrote: "In
referring matters of this kind il would
be well to write them on a separate
piece of paper and mark them personal
Redding declared he did not under
stand McNamaras meaning.
Fred j. Mooney of Duluth, Mimi, an
other of the defendants, was questioned
about letters he wrote to Mcnamara
during the period when explosions about
the country were frequent.
Referring to phrase by him that he
thought the iron workers union was
going to lose in its strike against open
shop" contractors unless "a new trick"
was adopted, Mooney said he meant that
the rules of the international union
should be modified so that members of
the local unions might work on local
job regardless of the general strike.
Mooney said that three days after the
blowing up of an unloading rig on the
locks of Superior. Wis, in August Of
1910, he wrote to Mcnamara that real
iynamiters" had visited there. He said
ne meant only to convey news of the ex-
1losion.
Ortie Il. McManigal has confessed to
he Superior explosion.

fin ran 1855 votes ahead of r. Z. Delvale,

SANFORD EXPECTS PARDON.
Head Holy Chester Writes to "Elimp

ceived at the "Elim' headquarters here

of the sect, may be pardoned by Presi-
dent Taft The news came in letter
from Shiloh, Me-, and indicated hope
