May Ask Larger Powers.

One result of this latest wreck and
consequent INVESTIGATION probably will be
"A recommendation to Congress that q law
be enacted comforting specific authority
upon the commission to regulate train
operation.
Operating officials Of the New Haven
and the officers and directors of tic syS-
tenn are grilIed scathmgIy for promulga-
ton of regulations that were permitted
to become practically dead letters, >
and for not seeing to it personally that
operating conditions were what they had
directed them to be.
Man failure in this case" says Com
missioner McChord, who prepared the
report after an exhaustive personal In
ycstigation of the accident, began high
up in official authority. and it was not
an unnatural sequence that it reached
iown to those in positions lower in Of
fetal rank, but still weighted with great
responsibility"

Officials and Trainmen
of New Haven Line Scored

Officials and trainmen both were blam-
ed for the wreck on the New Haven rail-
road September last, in which twenty
one persons were killed and thirty five
injured, in report just issued by the
interstate commerce commission. All
suffered a severe denunciation at the
hands of the commission. The crews are
blamed for lapses and the officers and
directors are scored for ''inefficiency OF
management
The report enumerates what the COM
mission terms the faults OF the New
Haven, tells of the lax conditions under
which the road has been run and declares
that infratcionS of the rules and regula-
tons We're known to the operating Of
ficcrs. No recommendations, except by
inference, and no orders are contained
In the report, the commission is
without authority to control or super

Inventors Explain Devices.

The hearing this morning, at which
three inventors, j. I. Andrew Of Mont
gomery. Ala: J. Z. Latham and Thomas
5. Beall of Greensboro, Ala, appeared,
is looked on as the beginning of big
fight between the government and the
railroads of the country on the question
of train safety. The interstate and for
eign commerce committee is working with
the Interstate commerce commission to
devise a law by which the commission
will have final power in all questions of
the installation of steel cars, safety sig
mails, anti-derailinS devices, better air
brakes, etc.
Mr.. Andrew showed the committee to-
day the model OF Il device which he
claims will absolutely prevent wrecks by
derailment. Representative Dent of Ala
require all roads to be equipped with the
Andrew device, was present at the hear
ing also. The Dent bill provides that all
railroads should be allowed to charge an
extra fare for equipping with the device,
and from this source OF revenue Mr.. An
drew would derive his compensation. In
appearing before the committee today
Mr. Andrew defended this scheme by
saying:
You allow the Pullman company to
charge for chairs and beds which our
luxurious tastes demand. Would 1t not
be permissible to allow them to charge
1o per cent of the fare per mile for an
appliance which would insure the safety
OF life and limb?'

Safety devices to prevent train acct

subcommittee of House Interstate and
foreign commerce committee this morn
ing. This was the start of a series of
hearings which will be held throughout
october and November leading up to the
framing of legislation, which, if enacted
Will do much toward putting the actual
control of the safety Of the travelling
public in the hands of the Interstate COM
merce commission. On the theory that
all the laws in the land will never pre-
vent railway accident unless the gov
eminent is In close touch with such mat
tiers as train speed. motive power and
actual mechanical details, many mem
bers of the committee believe that the
interstate commerce commission should
have broadly extended power to regulate
the movements of trains to d certain
extent.

sumner. We have been hoping for
some relief from our Anticipated cur
rency laws for many years. and 1t
looks as II we are now closer to this
change than ever before. and l urgent
ly- recommend that this body, before
its adjournment, pass a strong resolu-
ton calling for the earnest support on
the part OF representatives from the
districts of the membership of this
association to the administration and
to the committee who seem to be very
earnest in their efforts to have bank
ing and currency laws passed that Will
meet the requirements of the business
of this country.
Currency Question Important
Those who have studied the matter
must come to the conclusion that the
subject of banking and currency Is
fundamental one, and. being the basis
Of all business. as no business can be
done without good credit, and when
this credit cannot be used by the
banks. 1t confines their ability to ac-
commodate their customers to a very
small compass. When we consider the
enormous growth Of the commercial
interest sof this country and no cor
responding development Of the bank
ing and currency system. 1t proves
most distinctly that we are in such a
good condition that we can 30 on,
even under the most adverse condi-
tons. Other countries have their
commercial panics, but none OF the
leading countries has anything like
our money panics that the United
States has been periodically subjected
to, the effects Of which are almost dis
astrous as wars.
The mandatory law, making 1t nee
essary for manufacturers and dealers
keeping a statement as to their stock
Of various kinds OF tobacco, has given
a great deal OF trouble, without any
corresponding benefits, as far as 1t
can be seen. The evident purpose OF
this bill was to have knowledge of the
stocks of tobacco that the manufac-
turers carried, SO that any perform
ance looking to pooling could be In
diligently made: but in these days of
manufacture, when the manufactu-
rers cannot be persuaded to take sub
stitutes, there is very little knowledge
gained by knowing that there are 20
many millions of pounds of tobacco
existing, when there Is no way OF as
certaining whether 1t Is the kind that
Ia wanted or not. The government
seems to be considering further to-
bacco Investigations, but 1t Is sincerely
