own Fault" in Gilbert Death

The Public Ctilities Commission IueS-
DAY rendered a decision in the matter of
the accident on the Boston g. Maine tail-
road at Biddeford at about 625 A. NJ,
Dec. 4, 1916. resulting in the death OF
Alexander Gilbault or Gilbert.
"On December 4, 1916, this man was
walking on the track of the Boston q
Maine Railroad near the Biddeford sta
ton, and was struck by Passenger train
No. going towards Portland, receiving
injuries from which he died the following
morning The accident was reported to
the commission and an investigation
promptly made.
1T seems to the commission to be one
of the many cases where people lose their
lives by taking the risk of walking on a
railroad track and then paying no at
tention whatever to the trains, evidently
not stopping to think that train might
be due at the very point where they are
walking at any instant Of time. People
trespassing on the tracks Of a railroad
company, particularly in a locality where
trains are constantly coming and going
should at least safeguard themselves oy
watchfulness and care. The commission
can see no reason to attach blame for this
unfortunate accident to the railroad COM
pany or any Of Its servants"

Comr. of Agri. Guptill
Attends Several Conferences

Hon. William T. Guptill of Topsham,
the State commissioner of agriculture,
has returned from very interesting and
profitable trip to Virginia, during which
he attended the Southern Commercial
Congress held at Norfolk, Va. rom Dec.
Ii to Dec H. the National Association OF
Commissioners of Agriculture NEE ing
with the Commercial Congress as their
special guests and participating in the
general program of which the theme was
international Reconstruction dealns
in particular with the future trade and
agricultural possibilities Of the United
States after the war in Europe Is over.
Hon. Duncan U. Fletcher. United States
senator from Florida, presided over the
conference and the speakers included
members of President Wilson's cabinet,
governors, congressman and foreign am
bassadors. 1t had been expected that
President Wilson would speak on Thurs
day. but owing to the presentation of
German peace proposals at that time he
was unable to leave Washington.
Commissioner Guptill said that all Of
an important bearing upon the subject
pressed him the most was that Of the
Chinese minister. Hon. Wellington koo,
who spoke Thursday forenoon at the
time it had been expected President Will
son would speak. Mr.. Koo said that
when Americans went to China the Chi
nese looked on them as coming for legit-
innate purposes or trade, while in the case
of any other nations coming In to trade
they ascribed to them Interior motives.
He pointed out that our trade in China
was very small and suggested ways in
which it might be increased and strength
ened and also spoke of the inspiration
which our institutions were to China.
Mr.. Guptill himself was one Of the
speakers on Tuesday together with the
commissioners of agriculture Of several
other states. On his way back from the
Congress Mr.. Guptill attended the annual
meeting and banquet of the Southern
commissioners at Richmond.
Commissioner Guptill states that prohi-
bition is being observed in Virginia to a
much greater degree than he had sup
posed possible and that the administration
Is showing itself in earnest In securing
its enforcement.
