9ss ACCIDENTS IN MONTH

The State Industrial Accident Com
mission Monday night closed the first
month of its actual operations with
reports Of 988 accidents on its files,
and started upon its second month
with So additional reports turned in
yesterday morning.
Out OF the total number of acct
dents SO far reported, only IS claims
for compensation have been received.
Four Of these came in YESTERDAY
morning. Awards are not allowed un-
til the person injured has been inca
pacitated for more than two weeks,
hence the probabilities are that other
claims upon accidents occurring in
November will yet come in.
Monday afternoon the commission
made the first award it has allowed.
Edward B. Margareth, employed by
William Lanahan & Son, secured it.
His compensation will be S. a week.

TRACTION ENGINE TEST A
SUCCESS.

The very interesting test, made BY
the State Roads Commission in eauiping
a traction enginge with smooth steel
bands around the cleated wheels. and
sending it over the State road from
Cumberland to Frederick drawing about
eight OF ten ton. behind it. came to an
end in this city today.
The test has been under the personal
supervision Of Mr.. Couch, a member Of
the State Road Commission. The Oh
jet was to demonstrate the probability
Of drawing heavy loads by traction en-
glnes thus equipped to avoid damage to
the fine roads recently built throughout
the State. Millions Of dollars have been
spent on our roads, and it looks as if the
Commission has demonstrated beyond
question that traction engines NOWADAYS
need not have cheated wheels, and can
pull all the load that is required with the
same facility as with the cleated wheels.
This seems to be the opinion of all who
saw the outfit on Patrick street Yesterday
morning when it came it, and many ex-
pressed themselves as perfectly satisfied
with the proposition. One practical far
mer suggested that the bands have coun
ter cleats on the inside to allow for the
depression between the cleats on the
wheels, thus reducing to a minimum the
chance of injuring the bands. However.
this is but detail, and can be straight
ened out later on.
The Commission say that the expense
Of equipping a traction engine with these
bands would be nominal, and altogether
new epoch has been started in agricul-
tural lines in this regard. Farmers
must have their wheat threshed. and the
only way it can be done is to have the
threshing machines visit their premises.
Naturally roads must be used over which
to haul the traction machines and irac-
ton engines are necessary to furnish
power. and hence they must be used to
draw the machines.
There is a law on the statue books of
Maryla which forbids traction engines
with cleated wheels from going over our
State roads, because Of the injury they
must do to them. With the new an.
pliance on the wheels of the traction en-
CINE, it certainly seems that all trouble
will be avoided in the future, and that
for modest outlay owners ,of traction
engines can have them equipped 50 that
they can 90 over our roads with impu-
nifty, and without fear of the breaking of
any statutory law.

tended to impress the public with the
railroads dire financial needs, has now
just the opposite effect.
Not 80 long ago the Interstate Com
meree Commission. in an opinion. -ug-
gested that it might be appropriate for
the railroad companies to slightly IN
crease their passenger rates on interstate
bushes, and also recommended slight
increase. IN freight rates here and there.
Promptly upon receipt Of this informa-
ton, the railroads proceeded most liber
ally, from their standpoint, to adjust
every continuation ticket along the
lines, and along with this. reduced their
forces wherever it was possible TO do 50,
even to the de,riment Of their service to
the public. We have 10 hesitancy III
saying that this Is very dangerou. pol
icy with regard to the travelling public,
aud very unwise one in regard to the
financial status Of the railroads them
selves. The prosperity and well-being
Of any community depends upon the
service Of lis railroads and other public
service corporations. Frederick, haudi-
capped by its geographical situation.
needs even more consideration from the
above concerns, and We think it Is about
time to make this fact known to them.
The Board Of Trade is the proper body
We think to take up these matters, or
any other matters along these lines. and
bring them to the attention Of those who
can give prompt and proper attention.

Guilty of Second Degree Murder.

Claude McCusker, charged with the
murder OF Justus Roman, of Hancock,
Md, on the evening Of Decoration Day,
IN 1910, was found guilty of murder in

ers OF the law for four years, until
during the past summer, when he was
recognized and later arrested in West
ern Pennsylvania and lodged in jail
at Hagerstown. The penalty for sec
ond degree murder is from three TO
eighteen years in the penitentiary.

WILL REVEAL VALUATION.
New War Tax Law Will Assist Assess


The custom which has prevailed in
this county, as well as elsewhere in
not setting forth the true considera-
ton in the transfer of real estate, is
about to come to an end with the ap-
plication OF the new internal revenue
law. Scarcely a deed for the convey
ance Of real estate contains the true
consideration, only a nominal amount
being named, together with other
valuable considerations" and those
who desire to know something about
the real value of the property convey
I'd are left to conjecture. Especially
Is this true when it comes to prop
e assessment of the property for tax
able purposes; the assessing officers
are left entirely in the dark and
much property undoubtedly goes on
the tax books way below its real
value. or below what the property
commanded in an exchange of owner
ship.
The new revenue tax law, as before
stated in these columns, requires thai
80 cents be paid on all deeds of trans
ters Of property where the considera-
ton is between 800 and $500, and for
every additional $500 or fractional
part thereof an additional 80 cents
This provides for giving the true con-
sideration. although not in express
terms. Hereafter. even though thu
deed should not recite the full consid
Grafton. it will be necessary to attach
the required amount of revenue
stamps. and thereby knowledge will
be had Of what was actually paid for
the property when change Of ownel-
ship takes place
This will greatly assist in a prope7
assessment Of property. 1t will enable
the county commissioners and othe"
taxing officers to learn from an auth
oritative and official source the act
ual price at which property is bought
and sold, and they will be able to that
extent TO arrive at proper value for
assessment.

THE RAILROADS MUST BE
FAIR TO THE PUBLIC.

The business men Of Frederick are up
in arms, and Justly 50, over the rank dis
elimination against them practiced by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in TAX
ing of the early mail train in the sched
ule that was adopted last Sunday. The
Winchester train, arriving here about
eight D clock, brings in the pouches that
used 70 come an hour or so earlier, and
hardly gives an opportunity for distribu-
ton al the postofice in time TO serve the
banks and other places Of business which
50 greatly depend upon clearing their
desks Of letter. for the general business
day. In some cases it works decided
business damage, and 10 doubt the at
tention Of those who have this matter
under their control will be called at an
early date to this state of affairs. 1t
would seem to our minds that either the
Interstate Commerce Commission or the
Public Service Commission of Maryland
would be the proper sources to appeal to
for a remedy. Whilst we know we are
looked upon as a way station by railroads
and other biz corporations, and our physi-
cal situation gives them every reason to
think this of US, we have certain rights
which they must respect, and which We,
if we are wise, will bring to their atten
ton at once. We have Board or
Trade here, which is composed Of our
leading business men, and it would ap-
pear that this body should take prompt
action in this matter. The railroads of
the country, who have been under a
rapid fire Of investigation for some time,
have great many people : sympathies
with them in their efforts to have lust
and equitable rates both for freight and
passengers, but we question very much
if this sympathy will still remain if the
railroads cut off their public service
accommodations without regard to the
interests Of the public which they serve.
The railroads exist by favor of the
people, and whilst they have heretofore
been their masters, the change is rap
idly taking place where they must give
fir treatment in exchange for the PEG.
pes business. Right in our own sec
ton railroad company has reduced its
forge of workers who keep the tracks in
good condition and also attend the gen.

this false economy, which if it is in

pie of the United States are unable

But the loss of fruit is not con-

statements are made year after year.
and similar stories are told of other

buyer at retail.
The people should have the fruit
from the Bahamas and other islands

should be able also to get the prod
