SAFETY FIRST WAS The
KEYNOTE
MEANS OF OBTAINING The HIGHEST DE-
GREE OF SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL
DISCUSSED At CONVENTION OF AS
S0CIATI0N or RAILWAY C0MMIS.
SI0NERS.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 31.-Means
of obtaining the highest degree OF
safety in railroad travel formed the
keynote of today's final proceedings of
the annual convention of the National
Association of Railway commissioners.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick of Illinois,
in a report on safety appliances" :"
urged immediate and definite action
looking to greater safety in railway
travel
Commissioner Hague of New York
was of the opinion that the operation
OF the standard signalling system
with the overlap would have prevent
ed most of the recent accidents on the
New Haven road
He added, however, that the "hu
man equation" was considerable fac
tor in the operation of any sort of
safety device and pointed out that
many railroads had reduced the speed
of their fast trains, thus increasing
the safety of travel, in his judgment,
fifty per cent.
He believed that the reduction of
excessive speed was an advantage not
only to the public, but TO the rail
roads as well, thus affording an i'm
pressive example of the folly of high
speed competition 1t is better policy
to run trains behind time than to take
long chances of accidents" he said.

Court ASKS FOR PROOF
and GETS IT
IN APPEAL OF CONVICTED OyNAMITERs,
C.. ". MILLER FOR THE GOVERNMENT,
SHOWS EVIDENCE IN SO INSTANCES
WHERE DYNAMITE HAD BEEN CARRIED
ON PASSENGER TRAINS.

! Chicago, Oct. 31.-In answer to a
request of the court that the govern
ment show proof that the dynamiters
convicted in the Mcnamara plots
specifically intended to and did carry
Explosives on passenger trains, Dist
irict Attorney c. W. Miller, of Indiana,
today argued before the United States
Icircuit court of appeals that in every
instance in which the details of a dy-
Inamiting plot had been shown, the
dynamite had been carried interstate
| in a passenger train.
The record showed at least fifty
isuch instances, he said, and there
was no evidence of any explosion, the
dynamite for which had been trans
ported in any other manner The gov
eminent based its case on seventeen
'transportations of nitro glycerine and
ieight of dynamite, and all these Of
,fenses occurred within the year dur
ing which the Los Angeles Times build
ing was blown up in October, 1910.
The labor union officials, who now
seek reversal of their convictions,
at Indianapolis, last December, were
convicted only on evidence of their
violation of interstate regulation of
the shipment of explosives and not on
evidence of the destruction of life and
property. Mr.. Miller told the court. He
said that the details of the explosions
were gone into only to show that the
Ironworkers' Union had a motive to
destroy "open shop" contractors
Mr.. Miller named Eugene A. Clancy
of San Francisco, and Henry w. Leg
leitner, formerly of Denver, as actual
ly having promoted the shipment OF
explosives in addition to being guilty
with President Frank M. Ryan, of the
Ironworkers' Union in the general con-
spiracy.
The argument will end today when
the court will take the appeal under
advisement.

0. CANNOT Be COMPLETED UNTIL
CONFLICTING CLAIMS ARE SETTLED.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 31.-The
question of ownership of the Kansas
City Mexico and Orient railway can
not be settled and the reorganization
of the company completed until the
conflicting claims of the bOndholders
and the construction companies engag-
ed in finishing the road are straighten-
ed out. This decision was made today
by Judge John c. Pollock. of the fed
eral court in Kansas City, Kan. Judge
Pollock appointed Clifford Histed, of
Kansas City, Mo-, special examiner to
investigate and submit proofs of the
claims Of bondholders and construc-
ton companies.
The Orient company went into the
hands of receivers in March, 1912.
The federal court appointed sepa-
rate sets of receivers for the COM
pany's properties in Missouri and Kan
sas, in Texas and Oklahoma, and in
Mexico. In all, eleven receivers have
charge of the property. About 800
miles of the road are in operation and
said to be paying expenses. Judge
Pollock last June began an effort to
settle claims against the road in or
der that the property might be sold,
the company re-organized or the re-
ceivership otherwise lifted.

port, no further action will be taken,

Washington, d. c., oct 81 Mrs
Woodrow Wilson has taken an active
interest in the betterment of condi
tions under which girls and women
work here i'll the various government
/ departments.
1 1t leaked out today that she made
a tour through the big government
printing Office yesterday without re-
vealing her identity and thought the
workers did not have sufficient space
in the retiring or rest rooms. She
is said 10 have urged the president to
help improve conditions.
Mrs. Wilson also urged Postmaster
General Burleson to improve the mail
bag repair Office of tle post office de-
partment. She recently visited the es-
Itablishment and is reported to have
become convinced that more precau-
tions ought to be taken to prevent
tuberculosis.
A lively little sequel to Mrs, Will
sons visit developed today. When
Public Printer Ford heard of Mrs.
Wilson's visit he discharged II. f.
Terry, the messenger who conducted
Mrs. Wilson through the building, on
the ground he had not brought the
presidents wife to him.
Terry explained that he asked Mrs.
Wilson TO visit Ford's office, but Mrs.
Wilson demurred, saying she wished
no special attentions. Ford, however
maintained that Terry's failure to
make known the visit of the presi-
dents wife was breach of discip-
line.
When the story got around the cap
ital, there were several hurried tele-
phone calls to the White House. Mrs.
Wilson took a hand in the proceedings
and after Secretary Tumulty had CIV

E:UGENIC MARRIAGE
FAVORED BY GOV.
BALDWIN
IN ADDRESS BEFORE THE NATIONAL
COUNCIL OF the C0NGREGA.
TI0NAL CHURCHES he SPEAKS
ON The Responsibility or THE
CHURCH RESPECTING MARRIAGE.
A MINISTER IS JUSTIFIED
IN REFUSING SOMETIMES

Kansas City, Oct 3l,---A plea for eu-
genie marriage was made in the course
of all address on The Responsibilities
of the Church Respecting Marriages,
delivered here last night before the
National Council of Congregational
churches by Governor Simeon E. Bald
win of Connecticut The speaker urg-
ed the enactment by the various states
of legislation which will enable min
listers of religion TO determine whether
or not parties to the marriage contract
are fit before they perform the cere-
mony. He thought it time that minis
ters ceased to marry couples without
any knowledge of their fitness, but he
did not believe that in order to prevent
such marriage the church should at
tempt to influence legislation. He
thought that in this respect the Roman
Catholic church had the right idea
1T contents itself mainly with look
| ing after the individual he said, 'and
| in laying down rules for its own mem
bers, as to matters of religion; not i'll
trying to get them to work for rules
| to govern the conduct of others.
ut does not seem to me the duty of
the churches, as such, or of their mem
bers, as such, to urge upon leg1sla-
lures the improvement of our marriage
laws. The efforts of the church for
the betterment of society are to be ac-
complished through its influence in the
! formation and reformation of individ
ual character. 1t has often been wrong
| in trying to extend, in this direction
! or in that, the domain of stat dte law.
In one generation it has not infrequent-
lily thus built up what in the next gen
GRAFTON it has striven to pull down.
| After quoting statistics and review
ing the awful consequences of mar
riage between persons wholly unfit
F! to bring healthy children into the
world, the speaker said that some
method ought to be devised whereby
the minister can learn of these condi-
tions, and refusing to perform the cere-
mony, inform the parents of either
party of the danger.
THE minister can hardly himself
institute or direct an inquiry said

less he personally knows the parties

her friends have made a proper inves-
litigation Certainly he should never
perform it for those whom he knows
to be unfit to enter into the new rela
ton
Contrasting the practice in this re-
ispect between ancient and modern
times, the speaker said:
at often happens that a hasty mar
riage is agreed on, in state where
previous notice of some days is re-
ouNed and has not. perhaps cannot,

such a case, ought not, ordinarily, to
be suffered to work an evasion of the

A new forest service district has
been created, with headquarters at
Washington. District Z" is the Off
cial designation of this latest admins
trative unit, which has jurisdiction ov-
err the national forests in Arkansas

1t is stated by District Forester
Ringland that the need for creating

after the passage of the Weeks bill,

tion for the purchase of mountainous

cepting responsibility for 150,00O0OO

luton in behalf of the superanuated
ministers, but this failed.

the business committee urged the
laiety to assist the district superin-
tendents in adopting the new financial
scheme in all the churches.

report, said all the activities of the
church were not included for the rea-
son that the committee did not wish to
burden it with details to the exclusion
Of it's spiritual force.
This is not convention for the
passing OF the tariff bill or for the re-
vising of the currency said the
bishop. at is a convention solely for
stimulating interest in the Kingdom
of God"
NO business in America today is
in so great danger of being closed by

lack of business efficiency" declared
H. Clay Dabel, an efficiency expert of
Buffalo, N. Y, who made a plea for
funds which is to be used in carrying
out the program adopted in the policy
report. He urged the adop-
ton of the new finance scheme and a
new business system.
The pledges to the fund ranged from
a prayer to $1,000 year The total
