lizard Of the q. & o. Is Not Speed
Crazy.

President Williard's policy, put into
effect about IS months ago. of limit
ing the speed of trains over Balti-
more and Ohio lines has been found
to produce excellent results. This
has been shown both in the lessened
cost of engine repairs and in the de-
creased number of accidents. Mr..
Willard was never speed crazy
One of his first acts on taking charge
of the Baltimore and Ohio was to is
sue orders that no train was to ex-
coed so miles an hour This maxi
mum was permitted only by regular
express trains on divisions where
it was known roadbed was capable OF
sustaining such speed without too
much shaking up 9) the engines and
the cars, and where the danger of ac-
cidents was almost nil. From this
maximum the speed was cut down to
so. 40 and even 80 miles an hour
where the condition did not fully JUS
tify faster time.
