 standing near the dreman's seat. The finding continues
 'I find that within a second or two before engine attached to train No. s eoHided with the rear of train No. 79 the emergency brake was applied in said engine of train No; and that no appliance of brakes was noticed by any one on said train No. from the time it left New Haven yard until the time said emergency brake was ap- piled just before the collision.
 T find said train, No 79, and No. 5, left New Haven three minutes apart; that the, delay occasioned to train No. 79 by reason of the burst or broken air hose was three minutes yet, not Withstanding this situation, if the aI1- to1nattc signals were Obeyed, ann of the opinion no collision would have occurred, as said signals automatically spaced said trains about one mile apart.
 T am aware train traveling 45 to 50 miles per hour would cover the dis tance in one mile very quickly and would allow a faIgnan but very little time to leave and properly protect his train, yet if signals were observed and obeyed one train should not. enter a block occupied by a preceding train without first stopping before passing a danger signal located at the en- trance of said block, and having so stopped, said following train should only proceed with caution and under perfect control as ttt11e way is seen and known to be clear
 T further find an engineer passing 2. signal set in a ca51tionary position should, under the rules, proceed with caution and be prepared to stop at the next signal Had the rules been ob- served train No. would have been running at a rate of speed making it possible not only to prevent the rear end collision with rain No 79 but also to have tobviated the killing of Flag man Tourtelotte. The sending out of a hagn1an is simply an added precau- tfon to insure more complete protec- tton. commend, however, the sub Ject of the spacing and the sbuncbines of trains to the public utilities com mission of the state of Connecticut and to the proper railroad officials of said company to take such action as they shall deem conducive to the safe ty and the lives of the travelling pub lie.
 From the testimony taken at the inquest am forced to the conclusion and Iso find that said death was caused by the negligence, omission and carelessness of the engineer of said engine of said train No 5 in faiI- ing to properly observe said signals and to obey the indications theraof and the rules governing the sarne.''

MUST Be PROTECTED
Shipowners' Argument Should Be
Effective.
Same Principle Applies to Them az to
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wage
Scale and Living Conditions
Must Be Preserved.

Shipowners recently have made the
argument that in ordinary times they
will not be able to keep up the present
pace. owing to the lower cost OF op-
Grating European ships. They point
out that as result Of the higher
American wage scale and the extra
employees who must be engaged the
cost Of operating an American ship in
some instances is $1,000 month high
er than that of a European ship.
No better argument could be made
in favor of the protective tariff sys-
TEN. The difficulty that shipowners
lind in competing with foreign ships
Is the same difficulty that American
manufacturers find in competing with
foreign products 1t has been said
that the cost of production and the
cost of labor are almost synonymous
terms in the United States. Repub-
lican platforms have defined the pro-
tective tariff as tariff that equals
the cost of production at home and
abroad. 1t might almost be described as
wages at home and abroad.
There have always been better
wage and living conditions in the
United States than in Europe. There
can be no backward step. A way must
be found to preserve the American
wage scale and American living con-
ditions on land and on sea.

The Germans have had virtual mo-
nopoly on the sale OF dyestuifs in
the United States. Under the pres.
ent tariff law II would not be neces.
sary for Germany to sell ir the United
States at prices below those charged
in Germany. II would be necessary
for her merely TO engage in ordinary
competition with the new infant dye
stuff industry, which under ordinary
conditions without protective tariff
would go to the wall.
The administration recognizes the
danger, but turns aside from the OBJ
vious remedy. which is the establish.
ment OF protective tariff to equal
the difference in the cost of produc-
tion at home and abroad. Since there
is no other remedy, however. and
since the situation must be faced, the
administration is adopting protection
under another name Certainly the
proposed antidumping law, suggested
as an amendment to one of the anti.
trust laws. is a very clear form OF
protection. Its purpose is protection

theory that American manufacturers
with their higher wage scales and
higher production costs, can, never

The molds and bacteria which cause

should be hauled out to some place In

from air entered near the surface,

after filling the si.o this top portion OF

KEEP GARDEN SOIL
FREE FROM LUMPS
Seedbed Should Consist Of Well.
Firmed and Fine Earth-large
Clods Are Injurious.

tBy DIR. ]. o. MORGAN. Professor OF
Agronomy. College Station, TeSas)
The reason why II IL usually recon.
mendcd that soil In the garden be
deepened gradually Is that the plow-
ing up OF large amount OF dead. inert
subsoil at one operation results In
temporarily decreasing the producing
power OF the land. This is especially
true II the soil In question is under
lain with n plastic, impervious clay
subsoil. Such soil should be plowed
In the fall and the practice should be
TO plow from one TO one and n half
inches deeper each year than was
practiced the preceding year until the
soil has been deepened sufficiently.
The presence OF clods In the seed
bed. whether they be on the surface
or underneath the surface. is injuri.
Gus because of the fact that they dc.
crease the water supply for the crop.
Large Jumps massed together under.
meath the surface have between them
large air spaces. Such u condition not
only allows the rain water to perco.
late TO lower depths too rapidly. but
II admits too much surface air. which
rapidly dries out the Jumps and robs
the seed bed OF its moisture. The seed
bed should consist OF we'll ilrmod and
fino earth II the roots or crops arc
to penetrate II readily.
