New System Demanded.

The commission demands Of the New
Haven road the immediate adoption Gf
"an adequate system OF superintendent
and supervision which will give those
In authority definite and positive In
formation as TO whether or not the
safety requirements and rules OF this
railroad are Observed
No recommendations for remedial
legislation are made. although the re-
port sets forth that the commission
will make such recommendations as II
may deem proper in the premises IN
its forthcoming annual report. There
is a hint. however that Congress will
be asked 10 fix some definite time with
in which all high speed passenger
trains shall be required to be made up
exclusively OF all steel cars.
Regarding the direct blame FOR the
disaster. the report, which was drafted
bv Commissioner G. G. McChord, who
made a personal investigation. says:
THE direct cause OF this accident
was the failure Of Flagman Murray
properly 10 protect his train, the fail
ure OF Engineer Miller properly 10 con
troll the speed of his train. in order 10
bring it 10 stop before passing auto
matte signal No. %. and the failure OF
Conductor Adams 10 make certain that
his train was properly protected. An
additional cause was the failure OF
Engineman Wands 10 bring his train
10 a stop, as required by the rules, be-
fore passing automatic signal No. %,
which was in the stop position
Directors Under Criticism.
After giving tho personnel Of the di-
rectorate. the report makes this caustic
comment:
ION this directorate were, and are,
men whom the confiding public recog-
nIze as magicians I'm the art Of finance
and wizards in the construction, opera
ton and consolidation Of great sys-
TENS of railroads. The public there
fore rested secure that, with the
knowledge of the railroad art possessed
bv such men, investments and travel
should both be safe. Experience has
shown that this reliance of the public
was not justified, as to either finance
or safety.
'In view Of tho focusing OF public at
tention upon the question OF safety in
the operation of this railroad, and in
view OF the frequent governmental in
uiiries. both national and state. as 10
the causes of and remedies for the
freouent disastrous accidents, II would
seem as il the directors themselves
would feel called upon TO turn from the
confederation Of the financial questions
IN which this road Is involved and for
time. at least, give the benefit OF their
consideration and judgment TO the
question OF safety.
Commissioner McChord says that the
reference to the railroad management
in the past. OF course. has no applica-
tion TO the new president, Howard
Elliott He suggests that President
Elliott. however. be permitted TO de-
vote himself primarily TO the problems
of safety Of operation, which this rail-
road management is now under the
highest compulsion Of duty and hu-
manIty properly to solve"

LIVE STOCK RECEIPT RECORD
Month Sees All November Figures
Shattered at South st.
Paul.

st. Paul.-More carloads of live
stock were received at South st. Paul
in November this year than ever be-
fore in that month in the history of
the market. With practically 4,900
cars, an increase of about LOO car
loads was made over the November
run of 1912, and there were 1000 more
carloads than during the same month
in 1911. ,.f f.....
The supply of hogs unloaded at the
local packing center aggregated 146,
600 head, the heaviest November crop
on record and the largest run for a
single month registered here since
January, 1908. The sheep supply ex-
ceeded all previous records for No
vember with the exception of 1903
The total arrivals of sheep were about
196,500 head last month.
Cattle receipts were larger than for
any November since 1910, the total
exclusive of calves having been about
1000.
With a total hog rim of 1,O95 900
thus far in the year, it will require
only 10000 porkers in December to
pass the local record for a years
swine supply, which was set in 1908
This figure will be easily passed.
Stock yards officials say that last
Mondays supply of hogs from North
Dakota, numbering less than 5000
heaC, was greater than the receipts
of hogs from that state for the entire
year of 1899. .#.

TWO PYR0MAN|ACS CONFESS
WINoNA ARSON SUSPECTS MAKE
SWORN STATEMENTS.
One VIII be Charged With Firing
Building in Which Persons
Were Asleep.

Winona.-The last and strangest
chapter in the revelations of Winona's
remarkable case of pyromania, it is
believed was written, when sworn
statements in the form of confessions
were made by Frank Norton and Ern-
est Cook in the presence of repre-
sentatives of the state fire marshals
office and the local authorities.
Cook, who until Tuesday, steadfast-
ly claimed S innocence in spite OF
Norton's declarations and his own con-
! Trajectory story, finally admitted that
| he, too, had set a large number OF
fires. In most cases, however, he said
| he was intoxicated and that Norton
did the directing. Generally, he car
ried his story in the specific cases to
the point where the match was actu-
ally applied and then endeavored to
slip from under the burden of blame
by declaring it was possible that
when l lit my pipe the match drop
ped anI set the place afire."
He did not deny spreading kerosene
and gasoline, of having hurried away
after the flames leaped, and of hav-
ing witnessed the arrival of the fire
men. In no case the confession reads,
did he endeavor to call the firemen.
Cooks pipe had peculiar, but COM
manding place in his confession. He
declared that in practically every one
of the dozen fires in which he is i'm
plicated by his own statements, he
was either smoking his pipe or lit
it while in the buildings He poured
the oil, arranged the kindling or COM
pleted all details for the job, he ad-
mitted, but in only one or two in
stances would he admit that he actu-
ally set the fire. He invariably said
he thought a carelessly thrown match
started the blazes.
Norton in his sworn statement told
the same story he had previously re-
lated.
Norton will be charged with first de-
gree arson and the specific complaint
will be set forth that he fired the Slade
building in which persons were asleep.
Cook will face a second degree charge.

ENDS BACKACHE and

Croxone Helps Lifeiess Organs
Regain Health, Strength
and Activity.

It is useless, dangerous and unnec-
essary to be tortured with the digging,
twisting pains Of backache or suffer
disagreeable kidney and bladder dis
orders when Croxone is guaranteed to
promptly and surely relieve all such
misery.
Croxone masters these troubles be-
cause it quickly reaches the cause of
the disease. 1t soaks right into the
stopped-up, inactive kidneys, through
the membranes and Innings; cleans
cut the little filtering glands; neutral
ICES and dissolves the poisonous uric
acid and makes the kidneys filter and
sift from the blood the waste and pol
sonous matter that clog the system
and cause such troubles.
1t does not matter whether you have
but slight symptoms or a chronic, ag-
gravated case, it is practically impos-
sible to take Croxone without results.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle, and all druggists are
authorized to return the purchase
