KRUTTsCHNITTs NEW PLAN.
Hartman Vice President Believes in
Probing Accidents.

frODInS ACClOeuUS.
Discussing the question of increased
safety in railroad transportation,
julius Kruttschnitt, vice president OF
the Hartman lines, says:
ct think we should abolish the use
of the word Unexplained in connec-
ton with accidents, the cause of and
individual responsibility for every one
of which, whether serious or trivial,
should be determined, sparing neither
talent. time nor money to do so. The
results should be frankly and freely
given to the public, to enable it to
form an intelligent opinion, the weight
of which will be irresistible in bring
ing about the necessary corrections,
which should be left to the railroads
themselves, unhampered by hasty and
inconsiderate legislation, too often in
spired Or Influenced by promoters OF
patented devices.
IF the policy of investigating acct
dents fairly and thoroughly and locat-
ing individual responsibility therefor
making the results public, is establish
ed, the public authorities will have per-
formed a great service to their con-
stituents. Enlisting the cooperation
of employees in promoting safety is
of the greatest Importance

GETS MONEY
Harvard's Star May Be Barred From
Athletics Next Year.

Charley Brickley of Harvard, the
football sensation of 1912. may be
barred from competing in amateur
athletics. Harvard athletic authorities
are reported as very much worried be-
cause Brickley has taken money for
jobs which some persons say was
more or less indirectly connected with
his football ability. Brickley has made
lots of money in the past few months
which he would not have made had it
not been for this athletic fame If
the case comes before the Amateur
Athletic union there will be an inter-
estng problem to solve.
