WOULD TEST SPEED
EFFECT ON TRACKS
Safety Appliance Inspector
Urges Inspections to Prevent
Possible Wrecks.

WASHINGTON, March 21.--Investi-
cation of the effect on track condi-
lions of running modern heavy trains
at high speed was recommended by
II. w. Belnap, chief inspector of
safety appliances. in his report today
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion on the wreck on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at Glen Loeb, Pa.
last November. -Four were killed and
eighty-four injured when the. New
York-St Louis express was derailed
at Glen Loeb bridge.
The cause of the wreck is set forth
as the breaking of a plate that sup
ported a girder of the bridge. at the
head of a supporting column. The
break allowed the rail to drop eigh-
teen inches and derailed the train
This plate was in a defective con-
dition previous to the accident" said
the report, land although the bridge
was inspected twice within less than
ten days prior to the accident, neither
inspection developed its defective
condition"
ITO guard against the recurrence Of
such accidents" continued the report,
examination should be made of all
bridges for the purpose of determine
ing whether any of their structural
members are exposed to overstraining
loads under the present increased
weights of equipment"

Terminating a deadlock over filling
NO vacancies in the Orange fire de-

HAWORTH, NOT AS CRY

Town. That Gave T. R. aOne
Plurality Very indignant.

If town has grown up from
single house to be the proud possess
sor of a golf course, a water tower,
at least one one-horse hack and a
few score nervous commuters, that
town gets a shock when irreverent
outsiders come alone trying to give
its name a new pronunciation.
Such is the shocked predicament
of Haworth, N. j. The West Shore
Railroads train guards say they have
received orders to shout "Hayworth!"
on approaching the West Shores
ramshackle station hitherto known as
aw-orth'-accent on the %Haw."
Whether the railway man who gave
the unpopular order is a resident of
some rival borough, or is getting even
with Assemblyman Charles O'Connor
Hennessy for advocating gates at the
roads Ridgefield Park station, is a.,
question discussed by the Initiated
Haworthians, among whom the as
semblyman may be listed as solon.
Anyway, they say they will not
change the name of their golf club,
or any of their many patriotic or
ganizations. For example, nobody
hereafter will speak of the "Hayworth
Beautiful Society in mentioning the
earnest sorority that plants trees

RETURN FROM FIRE TO
FIND BLAZE in FIREH0USE

Returning from a small blaze for
which they had been called out early
today, the firemen attached to the
auto fire truck in West Orange en-
countered a fire in their own quar-
ters. Fireman James Byrne was
filling the gasoline tank when sud-
denly there was an explosion and the
flames flared up.
The fireman escaped injury and his
companions quickly extinguished the
blaze. Fire. Chief James Sheehan
was at loss to understand how the
explosion occurred, as all the firemen
denied that they were smoking.
The alarm was sounded for a fire
in a shed in the rear of the home of
George Dobinson, of 1853 Valley road,
West Orange. Dobinson had been
repairing a motorcycle when, in some
manner, a lantern light and the gas
oline connected, causing an eXplo-
sion. The damage was slight.

PATROLMAN GOES FISHING;
GETS PICKLED HERRING

The reserves of the Fourth precinct
are today enjoying the result of
Patrolman Bill Salter's ability as a
fly-casting fisherman, the aforesaid
result being a key of excellent picked
herring.
1t happened this way: The Thurs
day Fishing Club, composed of
Patrolmen Bill Salter and Phil Benz,
of the Fourth precinct; Lieutenant
John Horter of the detective bureau.
and Patrolman Joe Horter, of the
First precinct. had made arrange
ments for fishing trip to Barnegat
bay. They all predicted splendid
weather for the day.
The members of the club We're to
have met at the Central railroad sta
ton at $3.50 a. m. yesterday Despite
the rain, Phil Benz, the acknowledged
champion at deep-sea fishing, was on
hand with lots of bait" John
but turned back when convinced that
the downpour would last for the day.
1t is said that Joe Horter did not
even wake up in time for dinner yes
terday; so that let's him out. Bill
Salter, who has long since reached
the pinnacle Of fame as a fy-caster,
took n look at the sky and imagined
himself sitting in a boat on a rainy
day, and wisely decided to hug the
fireside at home. 1t would not do,
however, to go without his usual
Thursday practise at fiy-casting, so
he took his tackle and went into the
back yard and started to cast the tiny
fly over the neighboring fences.
Whether he was angling for some
definite object will never be known,
but the fact remains that after the
twenty-third cast Bill was rewarded
by the aforesaid key of picked her
ring on the end of the line. Bill
claims that the herring had been nib
bling at the bait for some time and
that he landed the catch only after
twenty minutes of hard fighting. Ac-
cording to le-witnesses, the twenty
minutes were spent in fighting with
the grocer who had left the herring
on the back porch while delivering an
order in the house and Bill con-
soled the grocer with a 81 bill before
he landed" the fish.
Benz and the rest of the club were
ready to wreak vengeance on Salter
today, but on tasting of the ainy-day
catch they decided to let the matter
rest.

DR.. Joseph Kussy, president of the
association, declared the organization
favored the use of the arm lamp of
the type which has served with con-
siderable satisfaction in Military
Park. 1t is claimed that this lamp,
known as the General Electric arc
lamp, is much superior to the light
now in use in Springfield avenue, as
it does not burn out so readily and
gives a softer light The members OF
the association also say that this
lamp used in Military Park is ideal
for street lighting purposes.
Better lighting facilities are desired
by the Improvement organization be-
cause Springfield avenue is the night

point out that practically all the
