SAYS FORD FILLS BILL

Because III GiIl's ideas OF econ.

GIN Monday afternoon
Lang wrote letter TO the H.
nance committee In December list

each.
The mayor says the chief wanted
Velles. and the whole thing was to
have cost the city s7.455.
When the mayor first heard
about the chiefs ideas he got busy
quietly investigating the little
black autos made BY II. Ford.
the peace magnate.
In the meantime the council
r$ssed an ordinance authorizing
Me purchase and exchange of autos
n the police. and set the limit at
E.455.
"A little figuring will show that
II would be better 10 throw all that
other junk on the bay and purch hase

Instead OF six machines at $1,000
each. six Fords for $4,000 Is a bet.

why not $500 machine and use
the top OF the patrol we have
now"
The Star editorially pointed out
several weeks ago that Fords would
be Just as efficient. and a lot
cheaper. for general city use.
The mayors Investigation proved
a lot OF things
CounclImen Agree With Him
He found out that they had tried
all kinds OF ears In the street de-
partment. and that Ford cars cost
40 per cent less than the others for
maintenance.
MY ideas and those OF Mr.. Lang
are different on this thing" said
the mayor. But ! think I'm right.
I've talked II over with the most OF
the councilmen and they think the
way | do. That's the reason I'm
going to veto the ordinance"

RAILWAY SAFETY
RECORD FOR 1915

The following facts show the graf
lying results from the different cam
pai3ns for safety made by the rail
way systems of the country. Thn
annual accident bulletin issued by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for the year 1915 has been
summarized by the Railway Age
, Gazette as follows:
"As a result of the combined eff
feet of the safety first movement, of
improvements in facilities of various
kinds and of the slumb in railway
traffic caused by the business de-
preston, the accident record of the
railways of the United States for
1915 is in most respects the best ever
reported, even when allowance is
made for the reduced changes for
accident resulting from the decrease
in traffic 1t is necessary to go back
several years, to time when rail
way mileage and traffic and the num-
ber of employees were all very much
less than in 1915, to find accident
figures as small as those reported
for the year.
Excluding trespassers, the total
number of fatalities in connection
u,;th ra;luay onaration was onlv
1857, or less than for any year
since 1900, and 27 per cent less than
in 1914, while the number of pas
sengers carried one mile in 1915
was approximately 1O6 per cent
greater and the number of tons of
freight hauled one mile was about
% per cent greater than in 1900.
The total number of persons
killed in 1915, was less than for any
other year since 1902, and the num-
| ber injured was less than for any
other year since 1911. The total
number of passengers killed. 222, out
of approximately one billion carried,
was less than for any other year
since 1898, when only 1913, 100000
were carried; and the number injur-
ed was less than for any other year
since 1906.
THE total number of employees
killed was less than for any other
year since 1898, when there were
only about half as many employees
as in 1915, and the number injured
was less than for any other year
since 1911.
"The total number of other per-
sons killed, most of whom were tres
passers, was less than for any year
since 1910, but the number injured
was greater than for any other year
except 1914 and 1918.

CHINESE OFFICIALS DESIRE
TO SAVE THEIR FACE

Peking, Jan. 31-Much confusion
has arisen since Yuan Shi-kai's ac-
ceptance Of the emperorship because
of the universal desire of Chinese
do anything which will violate ira
ditions and make them ridiculous.
according to ancient practices and
Confusian custom.
Many designations have been sub
mitted by officials who adhere strict
ly to the ancient belief that the
Tsngs and the Tsings alone are Or
dained of heaven and cannot be re-
placed by Yuan Shi-kai without do
ing violence to all that is sacred in
the teachings of Confucias. Another
stumbling block is the long-recog-
MED belief that a man who has once
been of superior rank to another can
never permit the conditions to be re-
versed.
A desire, to prevent his former SUI
periors from resigning from the gov
ernment has inspired Yuan Shi-kai
to issue the following mandate, de-
signed to spare the dignity of influ-
entail officials he does not care to
have leave the government service
and become his opponents:
''In consideration of my mean vir-
tue, it ought to be impossible for
me to become emperor of the people.
However, on account of the many
difficulties of the time which | have
met with, | cannot shift the burdens
from my shoulders. But at every
moment feel that my position is
like to a person Going to the verge
Of deep precipice or treading upon
thin ice. OF late I have received
many dispatches and kilograms from
the provinces, the senders of which
Although they no doubt think that
they are but observing the proper
etiquette, I myself feel uneasy. Most
of the responsible civil and military
positions of the country are being
held by my former colleagues, and
when I recall that fact 1t makes me
feel more difficult. 1t may be said
that in ancient times Sse-yueh and
Wujen made no distinction in this
respect between the old and their
new dynasties But how dare | to
rank myself with sage emperors and
kings? Therefore all my former COM
panions and respectful old acquaint-
ances must not style themselves
'sheng.' AS the present situation is
most critical. they should devote all
their attention for the salvation of
the nation and not observe mere for
malities and unimportant details.
