ILLINOIS CENTRAL
LOCATING CAUSE
One of the Leaders Among Railroads
in Movement to Ascertain Cause
Of Crossing Accidents. i
WATCHES CROSSING NEAR HERE
107 Autos Go Over Crossing Of Which
Number SO Made No Attempt to
Look for Trains. *

Hardly a day passes but what the
newspapers contain accounts of acci-
dents at railway crossings and since
the advent of the automobile these &C.
cidents have multiplied until the rail
roads of the country have undertaken
to ascertain the cause so that it might
be remedied. The Illinois Central rail
way is one of the leaders in this move
ment and recently ordered every train
master in its entire system to inyesti,
gate conditions at three crossings in
each division to see how conditions
might be improved for the safety of
tho public.
Mr.. N. p. Mills of Ft Dodge, train.
master for the Omaha & Ft. Dodge di.
vision, spent yesterday in Denison and
observed the crossing just west OF the
McHenry farm on the Lincoln high.
way. Mr.. Mills went to this crossing
at o'clock in the morning and re-
mained there until O'Clock, counting
the machines crossing the track and
observing what precautions people
crossing the tracks were taking. Dur
ing the ten hour period Mr.. Mills
states that 1O7 automobiles passed
over this crossing, of which SS OF
them, or 7S per cent, made no attempt
to look fof trains in either direction.
Only 10 drivers looked in both direc,
tions for approaching trains and only
out of the 107 slackened their speed
before crossing the tracks. While Mr.
Mills was at this crossing 81 teams
/. crossed, 21 of which did not look for
/. trains in either direction. Railroad
employees were not aware Of the fact
that the trainmaster was making OBJ
servations at this crossing and Mr..
Mills paid particular attention to the
4 manner in which the engineers fol-
lowed the instructions given them when
approaching crossings. Every train
passing gave long crossing whistle
and the bell was rung until after the
train had passed the crossing. 1t was
a notable fact that the women driving
machines and vehicles over this cross
ings slowed down and looked in each
direction.
stIt is fact that most of the acci-
dents occurring at railroad crossings
are due to the negligence of drivers
who do not take precautions. Yester.
day was an extremely windy day and
it would be hard matter to hear an
approaching train. but still only a
small per cent of the drivers slack.

and "go" were kept up throughout
the game. Every man played well,
especially Carl Sampson, captain,
who, although quite badly injured
on the head, nevertheless kept play

boys would have had harder fight
if one Of Lost Springs best men
had not been injured. However.
those who remained made up for
the absent one.
School was dismissed for the
afternoon, since the visiting team
was obliged to leave town early.
Because the game was played earlier
than usual, several d. C. H. s.

JAPAN PROPOSES TO
 WIDEN RAILROADS

Tokio, June 3.-Japan will paob- ably decide to change her main rail- road system from a narrow to broad gauge. The present gauge of three feet and six inches was adopted when the first line was built in Japan, but experience has demonstrated the wis., dom of widening it to the standard broad gauge such as obtains in the United States. For one thing it will permit of greater speed, and for another it will be more useful as a means of communication in connec- tion with national defense in time of war.
 Especially is the change desired in the interest of greater development of commerce and industry. It is planned to inaugurate the tremendous task involved by widening the gauge on the main trunk line which connects Tokio with Shimonoseki, a distance of about 300 miles. This is the line which connects with Korea and the Siberian railroad to Europe. The reconstruc- tion expense for this line covering a period of 12 years is estimated at 297 100000 yen or about $148,5OO, ,O0O. The reconstruction of the other lines of the empire is estimated to cost the same figure, the work extending over a period of 25 years. -.s'' ---' '-~-

 MT. Schff said his appearance was due to his wish ''to set himself straight before the Jews or the city and country" He declared he had been bitterly attacked in the Jewish press because of the misquotation of his recent remarks when he deprecat- ed the proposal that Yiddish be spok en by Jews in all public places.
 MT. Schiff said he had expected an attack against him because one had been threatened ii he did not give up his opposition to the proposed Amer ican Jewish congress, but lie added ne felt that he deserved better at Inc hands of his co-religionsts after the work he had done for them
 Hereafter" he said, "nationalism, the congress movement and Jewish politics, in whatever form they may take, will be a sealed book to me- I shall continue to work for the uplifht of my people, and I shall continue to cooperate as far as I can in produc- ing full civic rights for our brethren ;n the war zone, especially in Poland, Russia, Roumania and Palestine, for they are all flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone, but beyond this,
