hard to determine There were two
freight trains In the yard. and the
noise of these together with the noise
Ct the auto and the approaching train
probably downed out the noise OF the
alarm bell. Or II may be that Mr..
Abel thought that the freight trains
caused the alarm bell to ring. and as
they both were standing still he
thought that he could safely cross.
Mr.. McDanold has a mother and
brother living In Woodland, and they
have been notified Of the young mans
death. He has been in Elko since
early in June and has been driving a
Haines auto in the rent service. He
was a sober, Industrious young man,
and had made many friends In this
community. Judge Doughty held a
coroner's inquest today and verdict
was rendered according 10 the fore,
going facts. Omclals OF the railroad
company also arranged for a public
bocrd OF Inquiry TO fully investigate
the accident.
This Is the fourth accident that has
occurred at this crossing, the last one
having occurred about a month ago
when Mr.. vanLeer's car was struck
II this crossing were placed midway
between the mill and the warehouse
where II was located for many years
much OF the danger would be elimin
ated. The fact Is again emphasized
that three OF the most used cross
ihgs of the Southern Pacific are ex
remely dangerous, as the, view o
approaching trains is partly obscured
i In view Of the increased traffic OF
the railroads and the common use o
Automobiles, some more efficient safe
~ device should be placed at tn,
crossings at Seventh. Fifth and Fourtl
streets. Accidents are altogether too
common. and unless something II
done we may confidently look for
ward to more accidents like the ont
yesterday. Csrelessness on the par
OF drivers Ia sometimes responsible
II is true. but the most careful drive
may be caught any day at any of tn
three places mentioned when the vIey
OF approaching train Ia cut on b.
freight cars standing on the sid
tracks. ..,Er ID,
Yesterdays accident was a most RI
grettable affsir, and Il Is hoped tina
every precaution will be taken esains
lts repetition, both on the part Of tn
railroad company and the public.

the first, that of skilled labor. The
American industry has. as lfar as
possibly. replaced manual labor by
machines. The following motto is
written in one of the American fac
tories: Manuel labor must be abol

its place. In constructing airplane!
machines are not sufficient; very gooC
filters are needed and a great number
OF them also; they must be taugh

in some mysterious manner thrown di.
rectly under the freight car. and II is
presumed that he struck the back OF
his head against a rail, causing frac.
ture at the base OF the skull which re-
suited in his death at eight o'clock
this morning. The other two were

the most heroic methods that she was
saved. Her right hip was found to
be fractured, severe injury was
found on the right side OF the abdo

lacerated. Mr.. Able suffered two
broken ribs. there were Ave deep

WHY ACTORS. ORGANIZE.

BOSTON, March LIN an effort
to improve their conditions the White
Rats Actors union and Associated
Actresses of America is waging sue
cessful strikes against, several vaude-
vile houses in this city ana vicinity.
The strikers are objecting to more
than three shows a day, and ask a.
six-day week, no Sunday performance
except under certain conditions and
a limit Of per cent to booking agen-
cies. The later evil has grown to such
proportions that actors are "gouged"
by these agents who work with the
managers.
The Central Labor union has de-
:clared unfair" all theaters in this
city controlled by the Vaudeville
Managers Protective association, after
a committee reported that it had
failed to adjust the strike.
