Has Bill In Congress Which Will
Cause Investigation Of Roads Before
and Not After Accident Occurs.
PLACES GOVERNMENT AT HEAD
Companies Must Furnish Commission
All Necessary Information Relative
To Work Along Safety Lines.
From Congressman G. H. Tavenner.

Washington, January 26.-Con-
gresham R. B. Stevens of New Hamp-
shire, has introduced in the House a
bill giving the Interstate Commerce
Commission authority to Investigate
unsafe railroad conditions and order
them changed BEFORE an accident
happens. The difference between the
system which Stevens proposes. and
which now actually exists is that
now the Commission has power to in
vestigate AFTER the wreck occurs,
and then it can only recommend"
changes which ought to be made. The
Stevens bill has been referred to the
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
and it's author thinks it has a good
chance to receive favorable consider
alton.
Certainly it seems that the time
has about come when Congress and
the government should take a hand
dents. The railroads themselves are
seeing the need of greater safety as
the numerous safety First" organi-
cations attest, but there is no guar
antee that all railroads will adopt
this plan of safety, or that business
consideration will not prevent the
adoption of reforms shown to be ne
cessary by the railroads own Safety
First Investigations
The Stevens bill would put the
government at the head of the ma
tional Safety First movement, and it
would enforce the mandates of this
organization by giving them the force
Of law.
Show Great Need.
A recent railroad accident in
Georgia shows the need of greater
attention to the enforcement of safe
ty by the government. The Inter-
state Commerce Commission investi-
gated this accident-of course,
AFTER it occurred The finding was
that this disaster, which cost the
lives of nine and injured in various
degrees 800, was plainly preventable.
The company's own equipment was
at fault, and it must have had notice
time and again of the faulty char
acter of it's roadbed.
The train hit broken rail and
piled up. Later agents of the gov
eminent went over the scene. With
in $50 feet they found 81 rotten ties.
With their unaided hands inspectors
pulled five spikes out of the rotten
wood within few feet of the brok-
en- rail. The company had plenty of
warning of this condition. During
the 80 days preceding the accident,
track walkers found IA broken rails
in this one section of broken track.
Instead of being replaced by new
rails, repairs were made of all the
defective rails but one. One new
rail was laid.
Must Obey Law.
When railroads so flagrantly dis
regard the laws of safety in this
fashion, there is nothing to do but
make them maintain safe conditions
by law. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has advised such action.
The Stevens bill requires the rail-
| roads to furnish the Commission all
| information concerning the safety of
track. and operating conditions and
gives the Commission power to en-
| force its orders designating changes
and improvements and orders pre-
scribing the use of various safety ap-
planes. -. .... ~

CASE
| NOW ON TRIAL HERE
Judge Stanton Brings Mcdonald
Against Mrs. Macmillan Case To
Bemidji for Completion
IS ATTRACTING WIDE ATTENTION
Three Governors, Eberhart, Hadley
And the Late John A. Johnson I'm
plicated In Testimony

The trial Of the action brought by
the Chicago Ore company and Nit
chell w. Mcdonald against. Mrs. Am
Der Hamilton Macmillan, Judge J.
W. Molyneaux, and others, which
was in progress at Grand Rapids all
OF last. week, was resumed in this
city this morning. The change in
the place of trial became necessary
in order to enable Judge Stanton to
give a portion of his time to various
legal matters, set for hearing during
the present week.
This legal battle is attracting wide
attention because of the prominence
of the parties, the great value of the
property involved, and the many SEN
sational features that are being dis
closed by the evidence. The plain
tiffs are represented by J. R. Zane
of Chicago, and living and Rossman
of Grand Rapids, and the defense is
conducted by Larrabee and Davies of
Minneapolis.
Is Mine Owner
Mr.. Mcdonald alleges himself to
be the owner of nearly all of the
stock of the Chicago Ore Company,
which company, owns a royalty of
- 1-2 cents per ton in all of the iron
ore in the Brae mine near Nashwauk,
in Itasca county. He alleges further
that in the year 1908 he was mental
ly incompetent and while in that
state was fraudulently induced to ex-
ecute a written assignment of four
cents per ton of such royalty to Mrs.
Macmillan, then Mrs. Hamilton, or
to Judge Molyneaux, who was then
her attorney, as trustee, for her and
in her behalf.
This royalty of four cents per ton
Mr.. Mcdonald contents is worth
100000, and he brings the action,
now on trial to set aside the assign
ment.
In Settlement of Suit
The defendant, Mrs. Macmillan, in
sists that the assignment is good and
valid document; that Mr.. Mcdonald
was in fine possession of his mental
faculties when it was executed, and
that she was not guilty of any fraud
or deception, but that it was volun-
tarily made by Mr.. Mcdonald in set
Element of a suit which she had
brought against him to recover
$25O,000, because while he was
married man in May 1908, he re-
pesented to her and caused
her to believe thaa he was
single man, and induced her to
marry him. Such, in substance, are
the issues involved, but many side
lights are developing as the trial
progresses.
Three Governors Implicated
On Saturday the testimony disclos-
ed chapter of the case in which
Ex-Governor John A. Johnson, Gov
ernor Hadley Of Missouri, and Cover
nor Eberhart were actors to some ex.
tent. It appears that in 1909 a war
rant for the arrest of Mcdonald was
issued in Missouri; that Governor
Hadley requested Governor Johnson
| to authorize his arrest in Minnesota
and permit him to be taken to Mis-.
souri,; that Governor Johnson did not
do so and that Governor HadleJ
withdrew the request; that in 1911
Governor Eberhart asked Governor
Hadley to renew the request; but II
does not appear that Governor Had
ley did so.
