ously disappeared on July 10, between
Paris and London, was established by
evidence presented at hearing today.
Whether the guilty employees belong
TO the French or English postoffice, the
authorities decline TO divulge at pres
ent.
Five men were arrested on suspicion
September 3 Three Of them. Lockett,

RAILWAY EMPLOYEE
KILLED EVERY HOUR
Representative Of Conductors
Makes Startling Statement
at Arbitration Hearing.

NEW YORK, Sept ia. B. Carrot
son, representing the Order of Railway
Conductors, testified today that rail
road employee is killed in the United
States every hour and seven minutes
Of the day and that every nine min.
utes a man is manned. Mr.. Garret-
son was witness before the arbitra-
ton commission in the controversy be-
tween forty-two eastern railroads, their
conductors and trainmcD, over the en-
ployees demands for more pay and
shorter hours.
lcnged by Elisha Ice, counsel for the
railroads. The witness asserted, how
ever, that he could prove his dec]ara-
tion and would do so in subsequent
testimony.
Tho report of the interstate COM
merce commission for the year June
80, 1912, says that 363J railroad en-
pIoyees were killed during the year.
Much of Mr., Garretson 8 testimony
today was devoted to what he called
the evil of deadhead crews. These
crews, he said. were composed of men
who have run a londed train TO a
given point, have no more work to do
and are not paid for the time they
spend in travelling back home. This
was one of the abuses. he continued,
which the employees wanted TO end,
He added that some Of the working
economies introduced by railroads in
creased the risk to life and limb en-
countered by trainmen and said that
the trainmen helped pay for such econ
omies in disability funds.

THE CHRISTIANS

The great hindrance to Christianity has been it's success.
 Every ounce of wealth. political power, authority and social standing it has gained has cost it a pound of moral efficiency. For every addition of fat it has lost muscle.
 The time is past when Christianity could be understood as coterminous with a certain church. It is now generally admitted to be in all churches
 And the time is almost upon us when we shall realize that Christian ity is not coterminous even with all churches but is a free spirit working in humanity.
 The word christian is sometimes mere racial expression. One is q Christian because he is not a Turk, for instance, even though he be mor- ally a million miles from the prin- cipleS of Jesus.
 Every pastor and priest knows that the majority of his flock are Chris tians only in some such partisan sense.
 The real Christians are still a small number. unsuspected of men, unorganized, known only to God Dr. Frank Crane in Won1an's World for August.
