Washin gton, September 6.-(Special.) D
The series of wrecks on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford road culmin-
ating in the disaster of Tuesday, which
resulted in such frightful loss of life,
/ Is quite likely to be followed by con-
gressional action of a definite course.
The interstate and foreign commerce
committee of the House has now
many bills and resolutions before 1t
proposing remedial legislation for the
prevention of railroad wrecks and the
temper of the committee is such now
that some action may be expected
speedily.
What we really need is a little more
litigation and little less legislation
said Chairman Adamson of the House
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce. "We have the statute books
all c1uttered up now with enough laws
10 insure the life of every man, woman
and child who travels on any. railroad
in the country. but you cannet save
lives merely by passing laws. You have
got to get someone to enforce them.
This committee has reported out bills
providing for steel cars and safety de-
vices and has instructed the interstate
commerce commission to do certain
things.
ALSO once you have installed safe
ty devices you'll have to find the men
to do the right things. If the Mon were
as good and sure as the steel ard the
iron and the wood, then the clement OF
human frailty-the greatest danger
point in the combination-would he
strengthened.
"The New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad seems to be demor-
allied. 1t has started out to put on
these safety devices, but to me II look S
as II the road had sowed the wind and
reapec the wnirlwind"
Sentiment in the Senate as expressed
and being expressed since the New Ha-
ven horror is that there should be
legislation compelling railroads en-
gagged in interstate transportation TO
adopt steel cars for all their passenger
service. A bill making such provisions IS
has already been introduced in the
House.
1t is not likely. however. that such
legislation win receive consideration
at this session of Congress.
There has been some agitation in
favor of senatorial investigation. but
it is not meeting with general favor.

DIR. Piff Attacks Fashions

DR. Pifl. the archbishop of Vienna,
speaking before large assembly at
lintz, recently. vehemently attacked the
present fashions of womens dress He
said he spoke at the special request of an
exalted parsonage, which was construed
to mean that he was voicing the senti-
ments of the Emperor.
Present day fashions are exercising a
most pernicious and ruinous influence
upon the social and financial conditions
OF many families he declared. He begged
his hearers to reject the prevailing inde-
cent and disgraceful fashions, which have
nothing In common with Christian char
acter and which strike at the sef-respect
of Christian women and girls like blows
In the face.
DIR. Piffl was only recently raised TO the
archbishopric. He has never been con-
sidered at all sensational, but is esteemed
a tolerant man, with kindly social sympa-
thies.

Conon Doyle Writes

"As to the dangers involved" he
writes, ''the idea of the invasion of a

Quoted by the Interstate commerce com
mission.
Senator Cummings of Iowa a mem
Der of the Interstate commerce COM
mittee. said that even If steel cars
had been used on both the trains which
eollided Tuesday there would probably
have been some loss of life and thai
any legislation enacted should ne with
the first object of preventing any ac-
cidents
Trains run too close together and
at too high rate of speed sometimes, +"
said Senator Cummings. "and these
things should be remedied.''
There is a growing impression in
Congress that safety is sacrificed for
speed with the railroads in the United
States any way and that it does not
matter how many safety appliances
there may be, so long as the speed
mania Sxists. there are going TO be
repetitions of the disasters witch are
of such frequent occurrence of late
All the automobile accidents are due
to speeding-that is the greater ma
jority of them, and the same rule an
plies to railroads.
| In Europe. where they do not at
tempt to make the time that the rail-
roads of this country make, a wreck
where life is lost is rare. But in
| the opinion of congressman the conn
| try will have to be brought TO lis
senses in this matter and that The rail-
roads are merely responding to the
public's demand for speed and the pub
lie takes the risk.
| The railroads in the United States
have been fairly progressive in the
adoption of devices and using various
and sundry systems of signals. auto
| matte stops. etc. for the safety of the +
passengers, and with each addition to
the safety of their equipment, in the
way of heavier rails. steel cars, safe
| ty appliances. block signals etc, they
have added on a little additional speed.
| Everything possible is done tc make
the road safe--so they can make bet :
lter time. The trouble Is the demand
for speed. If they had added all these
things without cutting out a few hours
| on the schedules between the principal
cities of the country, railroad wrecks
would be as rare in the United States
as they are in Europe.
| There Is no inconsiderable number Of
congressman and senators who realize
this. but they also realize that 1t would
be impossible now for Congress to put
speed limit on the railroads hFnIb-
lie sentiment would not support it. but

Old Roman Hotels

The traveller who is prone to complain
of sleepless nights spent in uncomfortable
hotels in this country may find some So
lace In this account ~ the Roman hotels
In the days of the late republic and en-
pire
Most of the hostelries and taverns of
Rome, says Humbert de Caller in us
ages ct Moeurs d. Autrefois," were sit
uated along the Appian Way. Some of
them were passable 1t was at one of the
better ones that Ciscero used frequently
to stop and write his letters, says the
Youths Companion.
The most interesting hostelries, how
ever. were near the circuses and amphi-
theatres. The shrewd and generally dis
honest owners had a double purpose in Sc
lect1ng taht situation. 1t was we'll chosen
for the patronage Of the huge crowds that
went to the circuses on holidays to see
the fights between wild animals and the
glad1Rtorial combats; and the landlords
could buy conveniently and reasonably
those animals that had been slaughtered
during the day. to be served on their
tables. a@
Thus a mcrrymaker might witness a
battle between lion and tiger in the
ampihtheatre in the afternoon, and If he
went to nearby hotel, might find parts
OF the same lion or tiger in his stew for
dinner. bears steak was considered a
great delicacy in Rome
The furnishings of the common room,
which in these hotels served as dining
room, parlor and taproom, were severely
simple. few wooden tables. few
wooden benches, and a sort of elevated
throne were the only pieces of furniture.
On the raised chair or throne sat the own
er of the inn and watched over his
guests and probably his belongings.

Battles With Toy Soldiers

Wells, meanwhile, has just brought out
a popular collection of his short stories
In preface to which-Shaw-lik like-he dis
cusses the development of the short
story in England, and also has published
volume which he calls Little Wars"
and in which he describes what APPARENT
ly has become his fayorite diversion.
namely, fighting battles with toy soldiers
Incidentally he tells how this somewhat
ridiculous amusement for grown-up
man and a scientist. but which Wells APP
parently takes mighty seriously, was in
vented by his friend, Jerome X. Jerome
1t is little difficult to imagine the au
thor of "Anticipationso and Mankind

Game Gradually Improved

Improvements in the game were grad
ually effected says Wells. ."The pIay-
ers migrated from the dining room to the
day nursery.
THE reason for this was because the
soldiers did not stand well on an ordi-
nary carpet. The 'Encyclopa edla' made
clumsy, cliff-like cover. and more par
ticularly the room in which the game had
its beginnings was subject to the inva-
sion of callers alien souls, tramping skirt
swishers, creatures unfavorably impressed
by the spectacle of two middle-aged men
playing with toy soldiers on the floor.

"On the nursery floor models of houses.
woods, and such things were used as
cover. In little while the country
for the game was perfected. But It was
some time before the rules were evolved
to their present state of efficiency"
After all the practice he has had Wells
must have become quite deadly with a
toy cannon and it will not be surprising
should he ever be challenged to a duel
say by George Bernard Shaw-if he Sc
lects these as the weapons
