struck by one of the fast trains
on this road. The man was iden-
titled by a brother from Dayton
and said his name was Frank
Dillon and that he was probably
beating his way to Iowa, where
they have a sister, he having left
Dayton on Wednesday for that
purpose. The remains had been
buried in the Ansonia cemetery,
but were exhumed for the pur-
pose of identification, after which
they were again buried there.
There is later evidence to show
that the man was murdered and
thrown between two cars onto
the track, as two men were seen
fighting on fiat car after the
train passed Ansonia.

Liquor Revenue Does Not Bring
Financial Relief
BIG DEBTS IN SALOON CITIES

Cities Having the Greatest Number of
Saloons Have Big Bonded Indebted
ness and Face Heavy Deficits In
Running Expenses - Saloons In
crease Burdens Of Taxpayers and
Do Not Pay Their Way.
Cincinnati Especial )-This city is
agitating borrowing $1,25O,0OO to
cover Z deficit in running expenses.
Aside from this she has bonded in
debtednJss Of $66OOO,GOO She re-
ceives $4GOOCO a year from saloon
revenue.
Cleveland, with more liquor revenue
than Cincinnati, started this year with
a floating debt OF $1,O0QOO0, repre-
senting deficit i'll operating expenses
for 1914 and 1915, and faces deficit
0t $500,000 FOR this year Cleveland
also has q bonded Indebtedness ex.
ceeding $40,00O,00O.
Toledo has floating debt Of $400,-
900, while last year Columbus had TO
issue $150,O0O of bonds to meet rum
ming expenses and faces loan or a
bond issue tor the same purpose this
year. Thes3 cities have heavy bond
ed indebtedness and both of them
have large incomes from saloon reve-
nue.. They also have high tax rates. ,
The amount of money raised in
these cities for taxation which goes
to pay interest charges, while debts
go on increasing, is appalling. In To-
ledo, for instance, 63 cents Of every
dollar received this year for taxation
goes to interest and sinking fund
charges, leaving but 81 cents to apply
on current expenses.
These and other municipalities have
been living beyond their means. Con-
ferences have been held during the
winter and spring and the problems
o. the municipalities have been thor
oughly discussed. 1t is proposed to go
before the legislature next winter and
ask for home rule in taxation, and the
legislators will also be urged to give
the city a part of the automobile tax
and more Of the saloon tax.
In trying to find a way out of their
financial difficulties, these municipal
ities have not overlooked anything ex-
cept old-fashioned economy. The in.
crease in expenses and Indebtedness
o. the cities of Ohio is largely in ex.
cess of the increase in population.
It is significant that the municipali-
ties burdened with the heaviest debts
ard facing the heaviest deficits are
those which are receiving the largest
sums in saloon revenue. License fees
soon put the cities into deeper finan-
c;al hole, although the liquor men
make a strong plea for saloons, claim.
ing that license will keep down the
tax rate.
The deplorable financial conditions
Of the saloon centers of Ohio Is strong
evidence that liquor license money
does not help a city. The trouble is
that the source Of this money is 8
curse and an expense. If these debt
ridden liquor centers were to get riG
Of their saloons, clean up, cut off the
expense OF taking care of the poverty
and crime caused by the liquor traffic
they will have taken long step to
wards financial independence. The
saloon is the milestone about the necl
of Ohio cities.

 T0 SCIENTISTS

NEW YORK. Dec. 23. - Scientists will gather here during the week be- tween Christmas and New Years in greater numbers than ever seen be- fore, according to an announcement of the annual meeting of the Ameri- can Association for the Advancement of Science, and coincident meetings of forty seven other scientific socie- ties. Every university in the Unit ed States will be represented" says the announcement, and with few eX- captions, every scientific man of prominence will be present. It is estimated that between five and ten thousand scientific men and women representing every branch of science, will make up the convention
 The program is so formidable that it takes a book half an inch thick to list all Sef the papers that will be read or the results of scientific eff fort during the past year. The titles range from Fossil Insects to Elf ficiency in War" The discussions will be both abstruse and popular. and the public is invited to attend Meetings will be held in Columbia University City College, and the American Museum of Natural His tory, as well as some other places yet to be designated.
 In announcing this Science Week" the association calls attention to the fact that contemporary history has made evident to all the dominent place of science in modern life. New York City may now become the worlds financial center; it is even more important to us as a nation that the New York meeting of the association shall signaliZe the period at which our country becomes the most fruitful center of scientific re- search"
 The scientists will divide into groups, attending such meetings as interest them. but there will be few meetings which all will attend. One such will be on the night of Tuesday, December 26. at the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History where Dr. w w Campbell. director or the Lick Astronomical Observa- tory will address the members on

DANGEROUS GRADE CROSSINGS

There were fifty-one persons killed on the Iowa highways at railway grade crossings in one year, and many per sons were injured. The Iowa highway commission is striving to eliminate these dangerous conditions, with the help of railway companies and local officials, but as there are S676 such crossings on the country roads of the state and many more in the cities and towns. the ask is a serious one Stranee to say, some of the worst accidents have occurred on crossings not con-
 sidered particularly dangerous. which indicates that with the rapidly increas- ing use of the highways the grade crossings on main roads must be elim
 mated. Obstructed views in approach
 ing the track and steep approaches to it are the most common sources of danger Many crossings now danger ous because the view of them is ob

Leveliug the banks on either side of a crossing i~ a method often employed to reduce the danger where the road and rail- way are in deep cuts. Grades above per cent at crossings are very dan- gerous for two reasons. an inexper- fenced driver may stall his engine on the track while attempting to shift gears. and vehicles approaching the crossing at the same time from op- posite directions may collide on ac- count of their burst of speed to sur mount the crossing quickly. Another dangerous type of crossing is that where the highway crosses the rail- way at small angle. Observations of the travel at such crossings show that few motorists look back as they should just before reaching the cross- ing.

AN lNEXCUSABLE SOURCE OF
 DANGER

The practice of some road builders, public officials as well as contractors. of leaving piles of gravel or broken stone on roads without any warning signal or light is an inexcusable in Engagement of the rights of the travel CT. A layer of such material six inches thick encountered suddenly on a good road on a dark night, is very likely to render a light car manageable Screenings are particularly dangerous. In states that keep records of acci- dents on roads, the dangerous results of such carelessness have been dem onstrated by figures. One state high way department recently warned the public that loose gravel forms a men, ace to life and limb almost as serious as an open culvert or an thrilled bridge approach" The unlighted mounds of road material sometimes left on highway under repair are more easily recognized at night as danger ous than are these thick beds of loose gravel or stone.
