in turn forwards it to the conpany's
inspector in the Pittsburgh district.
It is then his duty to see that the axles
are of proper quality.
As the ax1es leave the great steam
hammers in their rough state speci-
mems of the steel are taken out by the
inspector by means of a hollow drill
and these are tested by him right at
the mill. These specimens must rep
resent every batch of steel from which
any Of the axles are being made. If
they meet the required tests the ax1es
are then stamped with the inspector s
private mark. All steel, lumber,
glass, lighting fixtures, heating ap-
paratus, seats, plush, asbestos board
and other parts which go to NAVE up
the car in it's finished state are in
spected in this manner by the field
inspectors and must also bear their
stamps before they can be used.
All car wheels are tested in accor-
dance with the Master Builders re-
quirements, which are the standard
throughout the country.
A record is also kept of the wheels
and axles when in operation in order
to discover flaws in the daily wear.
There Is no more vital part of the
railroad structure than the rails. All
rails are tested at the mills by a per-
manent inspector in the employ OF
the New Haven company and these
rails are not accepted until the in
spector has given his approval
Equally vital to the railroad and
the public is the safety of the bridges.
AS in the case of car axIes. copies of
all orders for materials given by the
company building the bridge must go
to the laboratory and be sent in turn
to the proper field inspectors, who
test all the steel from which the
bridge is to be made. In addition, as
soon as the bridge company is ready
to fabricate the bridge from these
materials, an Inspector from the lab
oratory is sent to live at the works to
see that nothing but this inspected
steel is used, that all holes are prop
erIy punched and all parts properly
painted In one year the New Haven
has examined 1880 tons
of structural steel in this manner.
For the visitor, there is little about
this laboratory with Its row of chen1i-
Gals, delicate balances and retorts, to
associate 1t with the trains and racks
and signal towers by which the rail-
road is generally visualized. But this
is the eyes of the railroad,
ever on watch with it's test tube and
with testing machines for possible
defects in the tons and tons of. ma
teria1 with which this great trans
portation machine must be constantly
renewed in order that it may per-
form its functions safely and eff

in hand solving the problem.
Tt must be evident that the ques-
ton Of pollution of rivers is a, very
live one, whether we look at it from
the point of protecting the health Of
the public or from the side of public
decency and the conservation of fish
life. Even where publication works
have been installed it is of considera-
BILE importance to have the water
coming to the filter as free from or
ganic matter as possible, in order not
to overload the filter, and make the
costSof pHriacation exceedingly high.
Cincinnati, Buffalo, Philadelphia,
New York and many cities OF second
magnitude throughout the country
are studying the problem and pre-
pairing to treat their wastes so they
may be discharged into adjacent
public health or creating a nuisance.
cities are working on the same prob
lem. Naturally these studies are of
each .city's particular problem and
generally too little consideration is
given to the rights Of adjoining towns
or the public at large. The need of
some state body to pass upon the
larger problems of intertown and in
terstate rights seems very plain and
from its statutory prerogattves that
body would naturally be this board.
In accordance with this assumption
and pursuant to your Instructions we
have prepared and will Introduce
legislation designed to remedy the
present conditions in the waters of
the state and prevent their pollution
In the future.

AS the lights in the court room were
switched on, near the close of the sec
ond long day of the trial of Mrs. Angle
yesterday, the first inking of the
States theory as to how Waldo R
Ba1lou met his death was brought out
most unexpectedly.
DR.. Bruce S. Weaver, pathological
expert Of New York, who had been on
the stand under cross-examination
during the afternoon session, was
about to leave the stand. Dr. Ba1lou
performed the first autopsy on Bal
louis body and on the witness stand
had told an exhaustive story of his
findings. AS the attorneys for the de-
Tense finished States Attorney Cum
naings fred this question at DR..
Weaver:

of the body of Ballou such as to war

eyes, SIR was the answer.
Judge N. c. Downs of the counsel
Off the defense Immediately opened a
new line of questioning
81 can't conceive of him falling
downstairs from merely natural
causes said DR.. Weaver in answer to
his questions.
IF he had fallen naturally he com
tatinued in reply to further questions,
sit is more likely that he would have
started to slide and swerve. The frac-
ture of the skull resulted from direct
contact. Unless he plunged down
stairs, I don't see how this fracture
could have resulted

deavor to prove that. Bal1ou might
have fallen downstairs while rendered
unconscious from an organic ailment,
or that he might have made a naisstep
in the dark
Harold 3. Parsons, city engineer of
Stamford, was the last witness Of the
day Mr.. Parsons had prepared two
detailed diagrams Of the Rippowanl
building stairs to Mrs. Angles apart
ments and OF Mrs. Angles rooms.
The most pertinent fact brought out
by the state in the testimony of Par
sons was that the push button plata
on the landing leading from Mrs. An
g1e's apartments bore wet red stains
when examined after the finding OF
the body Of Ballou.

Parsons will have to appear on the
stand again this afternoon ATTORNEY

closely as to the accuracy of the draw
