THROUGH RAIL
Tests Show ConclusiveIy Cause
of Wreck of Gilt Edge
Express
ESts6Itshed 1857.

Providence, r. l., Oct s2a-Tests
made late yesterday afternoon by Off
Gals of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad and members of the
Rhode island Public Utilities Com
mission showed that the broken rail
which caused the wreck of the Gilt
Edge Express near westerly Satur-
day night, injuring thirty-f1ve per
sons, was defective throughout its
length, and was rolled of impure steel.
Superintendent ]. D. Gallary and
other New Haven officials and Chair
man William c. Bliss of The Utilities
Board began their joint Investigation.
Members of the train crew were heard,
after which the broken rail was pro-
duced
Workmen raised the long, heavy
piece of steel as high as they could,
about six feet, and then dropped it
on the cement floor. 1t did not break
Then a piece of rail was laid on
the cement and the rail under test
was dropped on this. The rail I'M
der test broke squarely in to two
pieces, showing the defective streak.
Again g. section of the rail was drop
ped, and again it broke, the sec
ond break being about six feet from
the first The same defective streak
was apparent, and evidently ran
throughout the length of the rail.

Jean Joseph Louis Blanc, the famous
French communist and socialist, was
born in Madrid, Spain, one hundred
years ago today, and his centenary
will be widely celebrated by his Euro
pean disciples. Blanc was the son of
a man who held high office in Spain
under Joseph Bonaparte, and Of a Cor
sican mother He was of diminutive
stature. almost a dwarf, but in bear
ing dignifed, serious and impressive
while his economic theories differed in
detail from the fscientific socialism
of Karl Marx, who was born i've
years later, they agreed on the main
point of the abolition of private prop
erty in the means of production ana
distribution.
Louis Blanc's father was wealthy.
but he lost his fortune in the revolu-
ton of 1880, and the son a@ught math-
ematics to earn his support. AT the
age of twenty-one he went to Paris
and became the editor of Bon Sens, a
journal of wide influence. He left 1t
in 1898, in consequence of a disagree
ment with the proprietor on questions
of political economy, and established
La Revue de Progress, in which he
preached democracy and political re-
form. He attained rank as the lead
er of the communistic school by the
publication in 1910 of 1.-THE Organiza-
ton of Labor In this work he main
tanned, with force and eloquence, that
competitive industry inpoverishes and
debases the working classes, and that
it should be organized on a princi-
pie of community, by which each
should contribute according to his ca
liabilities, and receive according to
his needs.

Bob Pickett was appointed humane
officer for the Holly district, and
