CROSSING Accidents
ARE ON The increase

Based on the number of accidents
at crossings on One of the principal
railroads Of this country. the figures
covering a period Of eithteen months,
the following interesting statistics
are found
Fifty-seven out OF each hundred
killed or injured were pedestrians.
Fifteen out Of each hundred killed
or injured we're riding in automo-
biles.
Fifty-fve out of each hundred were
Nding in or using other conveyances.
Only about one-half OF one per
cent OF the fatalities were to child
rem under twelve years of age.
Sixty-two Of each hundred had an
unobstructed view of approaching
trains.
Twenty-six out of each hundred had
partially obstructed view
Fifty-eight out Of each hundred
we're eitheir at fault themselves, or
we're injured through some fault Of
the person with whom they were
driving
Forty-three> persons out OF each
hundred fatally injured we're struck
while using crossings unprotected by
/ fagmen or otherwise. In other words.
while protected crossings are not as
numerous as unprotected ones, yet
numerically and comparatively more
persons are killed at protected cross
ings
People are killed at railroad cross
| ngs in many ways other than being
struck by trains. For instance, two
out OF each hundred on account OF
motor engines "going dead" at the
wrong moment, over thirteen out OF
each hundred on account Of horses
becoming frightened. three out OF
each hundred on account Of defective
planking ~or paving on the roadway
or sidewalk. The truth of the matter
is that 40 per cent out of each hun
dred persons killed or injured at
crossings are due to attendant causes
not to the mere fact of the existence
Of the crossings.

as financial conditions permit is the
purpose of the railroads, but expert

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20.
r. G: De Baca, goyernor-elect
Of New Mexico, who came here
i'll a month ago, will return to
Santa Fe in time to take the
oath Of his Office if he has to be-
carried there on a stretcher,
according to announcement
made public last night.
Mr.. De Baca, according to
his physicians, has shown inn
provement, largely through
determination to be ready for
his Inauguration. Since his
arrival November 10, three
transfusions Of blood have
been made.
Leaders Of the Republican organi-
zation in New Mexico are understood
to hail with delight the foregoing AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch, following an
interview with the governor-elect
published by the Los Angeles Exami
ner. The attitude Of the Republican
organization is that unless De Baca
we're able to appear and qualify on
the first day of January, the vote OF
the people would be automatically
nullified by his Illness and the lieu
tendant governor elected on the Re
publican ticket would succeed, despite
the plain constitutional provision
.whereunder Governor Mcdonald
would remain incumbent of the office
until his successor had qualified"
This program was to be followed, the
desired alternative being that in case
De Baca, despite q critical illness
were brought here to qualify on lam
uary 1, it would cause his death. The
latter contingency, 1t has been plainly
understood, is the one which would
prove most pleasing to the. Republican
organization, which has made no
bones about letting its attitude be
known.

10y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, Dec. 20,-A parliamen-
tary misplay by one OF its friends late
today upset plans for an immediate
vote on Senator Ehepard's District OF
Columbia prohibition bill and advo-
Gates Of the measure were obliged to
agree that it go oyer until after the
Christmas holiday for final. action.
The prohibition bill, to make the
capital dry. fell into the tolls of a fill
buster late today when Senator AS.
hurst, who favors it, without inten-
ton Of imperiIing a vote, got unani-
nous consent for consideration of a
miscellaneous land bill. The Oppon-
ents Of the prohibition bin were al
lowed to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity and contend, that it had been
displaced before the senate and was
supported by a ruling from the chair.
Senator Ashurst then sought to
withdraw the land bill, and did so
physically by stepping to the desk
and putting the document in his
pocket.
Senator Reed, of Missouri. insisted
that such a method of Withdrawing
bills was new in parliamentary pro-
cedure.
IF men are permitted to dispose Of
legislation by physically applying
strong-arm methods and grabbing
bills out of the possession Of the sem
ate" said Senator Reed, under these
circumstances, the man who can grab
the most and run the fastest would be
the greatest statesman. II we are
preceding under Marquis Of Queens
berry rules, it is time we knew it.
We may even descend to packing
house rules. which | understand per-
nit using the thumbs and eve the

Senator Ashurst declared he was
not disturbed by Mr.. Reeds attack.

said, SIS incapable Of carrying out
