MAN FAILURE" THE
CAUSE OF DISASTER
Officials and Employees of the
New Haven Blamed For the
Recent Wreck by the CON-
merCe Commission.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-"Man
failure" all along the line. from Off
cials and directors of the New Haven
railroad down to its trainmen, is held
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion TO have been the cause of the
WallingfOrd wreck, Sept. 2. in which
p were killed and 3 injured. In it's
report made public Wednesday the
commission blames the crews of the
wreck trains for lapses and scores
officers and directors for "inefficiency
OF management
Operating officials Of the New
Haven and the officers and directors
Of the system are grilled scathingly
for PRONUNCIATION of regulations that
were permitted to become practically
dead letters, and for not seeing to
it personally that operating conditions
we're what they had directed them to
be.
Man failure in this case" says
Commissioner McChord, who pre-
pared the report after an exhaustive
personal investigation of the accident,
began high up in official authority,
and it was not an unnatural sequence
that it reached down to those in pO-
sitions lower in official rank, but still
weighted with great responsibility"
In use at the time Of the disaster,
quated signals condemned by the Lo-
connective Firemen as well as by the
public service commission of Connec-
ticut" and old wooden cars unsuited by
construction for such traffic as they
were expected to accOmmO date.
These were held to be cOntributOry
reasons for the excessive number of
casualties.
Commissioner McChord indicates
the results of a similar recent accident
at Tyrone Pa. in which the equip
ment was all steel. and in which none
of the passengers was killed. as an
object lesson in favor of the use Of
the modern equipment. The COM
mission demands of the New Haven
road the immediate adoption of IAN
adequate system of superintendent
and supervision which will give those
in authority definite and positive in
formation as 10 whether or not the
safety requirements and rules of this
railroad are observed"

may not rust any damp skirt hung
upon them Having covered the board
and adjusted the hooks, all that Is

WHAT TO GIVE Kim FOR

Useful Offerings That Every Man

only little or may be quite expensive,
1t is rather curious that woman's one
idea of a gift to man is craoat.

man can nearly always wager that a
woman will get him cravat of color

that is too absurd to wear. And yet
hundreds of thousands Of women insist
upon giving cravats for Yul"tide gifts!
If you are overpowered hy this idea
please have little mercy on mankind
and select black and white cravats.
for they are smart and are becoming
to every man Silk knitted ties are

are three to four inches wide. Ties of
heavy faconne silks are also indorsed

The Scramble for "Frcc Seeds"
Those congressman who owe their
mighty positions in part to their skill
and artfulness in distributing free
government seeds are ever and again
threatened by withdrawal of this priv.
llege, which during the past year has
been considerably curtailed. The de.
partment of agriculture has taken a
positive stand against the present mo-
dus operandi. These seeds cost $500.
600 a year, and the government ex-
perts say that the money is largely a
dead waste. For many years the gov.
eminent supply has been Inadequate
and the result has been that the large
seed houses of the country have dump
ed their old goods upon the govern.
ment to meet the shortage at fancy
prices, and these are the seeds that
never grow"
In both houses of Congress the seed
distribution has been fought for years
ana last session 1t was only with the
greatest difficulty that the appropria-
ton was kept in the agricultural bill.
Secretary Houston has been up in New
Hampshire talking to the National
Grange and he has emphasized his con-
domination of the present method of
spending the entire appropriation in
supplying ordinary vegetable and flow
err seeds. In his new estimate to Con-
gress the secretary has recommended
that the usual appropriation of $780,
600 for seeds be made available for the
introduction and distribution of new
and valuable seeds and foreign forage
crops.
This idea is in line with the inten.
ton of Congress when the free seed
distribution was first established. The
main idea at that time was to secure
new and rare seeds and plants from
foreign countries for introduction and
distribution in this country, but the
practice gradually degenerated into a
scramble for more seeds" by the mem
bers of Congress.
Taft's Opinion OF expert Examiners.
Two years ago the tender-hearted
President Taft was touched by the ap-
peals of Mrs. Morse of New York, who
succeeded in securing the release of
her convict husband, Charles E. Morse.
the banker and ice king, from the At
lanta prison. 1t was found to Mr..
Taft's satisfaction that Mr.. Morse was
dying, and i'll with an incurable dis
ease. The former president has felt
very keenly the fact that he was i'm
posed upon in this instance, for dur
ing his recent visit to Washington he
referred to the case, stating that Morse
whom he had pardoned, is apparently
in excellent health, since he was seek
ing to re-establish himself in business
'in the state in which he had commit
ted penitentiary offense" The con-
clusion by the former president is that
inasmuch as he did not act on the ap-
plication for pardon until he had in.

Tacoma and Margaret Ellington.
(Mt, Vernon Herald.)


It's funny how some communities
manage to get over a crouch. Some
years ago Margaret Ellington, she of
stocking darning fame. left the stage
and settled down in Tacoma to live
with her husband, Edward j. Bowes, a
wealthy real estate dealer. They plan
ned to be just plain home folks but
Tacoma's set of antiques wouldn't ex-
change visits. Miss Ellington had an
nounced that she wanted to be real
wiley wife and darn her own stock
ings and the stockings of the little
we'll, they never happened. But the
old timers in Tacoma made up their
minds that anybody that would darn
stockings was entirely too fast for
their kind and they wouldn't go to see
Margaret at all. Finally she got tired
of it and went back to the road shows.
She stopped at Tacoma this week on
her Western trip and the newspapers,
down there sent out advance agents to,
meet her. It's welcome home" glad
to see you back now. Miss Ellington
just smiles and says. with a funny lit
tie twinkle in her eye, Yes, you were
all so nice to me-"
