STATE HOUSE
P. L. DECISION DEATH
OF r, B. CURTIS AT BATH

The Public Utilities Commission
has rendered a decision in the matter
Of the accident at Bath on the
line of the Lewiston, Augusta q Wat
erville Street Railway, resulting in tho
death Of Timothy E. Curtis, aged so
years, of Bath, was struck by a freight
car then being operated by the Lewis
ton, Augusta & Waterville Street Rail-
way over its track on Washington
Street, Bath, at about ! =. NJ Nov. 3.
l9i7, and died before a physician could
reach him. The decision concludes:
There is no evidence Of fault on the
part Of the Lewiston, Augusta g. Wat
erville Street Railway, or Of it's en-
ployes They had right to expect
any person TO stop before stepping in
front of an approaching car. They
gave every possible warning: and suf-
ficient warning, because Mr.. Curtis ac-
tually saw them in season to have
stopped. He thought either that they
would stop the cars to accommodate
him, as they had done before and tried
to do this time, or that he could beat
them across. In any event, the acci-
dent was clearly due to his fault.
while it is not clear that it could
have made any difference in this case,
it is suggested that freight cars being
taken from the Maine Central yard to
the shipyards. through Washington
street, could be more safely handled if
the motor car was attached to the
forward end. The local division super
intendent. as we'll as other employees of
the street railroad company. admitted
that this is true and said that it was
the original intention of the company
so to do, but that it was prevented by
court orders, presumably an injunction,
forbidding the necessary shifting in the
street 1t is useless to recommend
that which will not be permitted tS be
accomplished; but if this objection is
at any time removed, We recommend
that the motor car be transferred to
the forward end of the freight cars at
tho Phoenix turn out. 600 to 500 feet
south Of the Maine Central yard. Such
a change may save human life in the
future

their Guties for the state. and here is

KENT'S HILL NOTES

The khaki clad soldier boys of kent's
Hill seminary gave their first outdoor
exhibition drill Monday on alumni field
with the girls and teachers as an audi
ence. The boys made very attractive
appearance in their service uniforms and
carried themselves with a poise that
comes only through persistent drill and
careful attention to details. The old
time fancy drill movements were not
practiced however, for these boys mean
business and in war times with every
prospect that they will be called upon
for service abroad before the close Of
the war, they have devoted themselves
almost exclusively to the less spectacular
forms of drill.
The methods OF advancing in extended
order were we'll performed and it was
real entertaining to see the young men
crawl forward on their chests. using their
elbows as quasi propellers, rolling over
in order to straighten out their lines and
in every way using tactics that would re,
duce them to the smallest possible size as
targets. 1t has taken long training to
work out the details of this drill for no
commands a re given by voice but an odd
toned whistle calls attention to the COM
mander who follows the whistle with GER
tain signs that are unmistakable even in
the din Of battle. The boys are quick TO
catch the commands and quick to execute
them. The advance OF each squad was
covered by the rapid firing OF the other
squads until all were assembled on the
new front. When one considers that the
drill work has been carried on mainly bv
the boys themselves and that all orderN
are given by the cadet officers. the work
is indeed quite remarkable. Lieutenant
Spencer has given the boys a splendid
system and under his general Oversight,
they are preparing for any eyentualities.
If the war continues, as many anticipate
it will, for at least as long a period as it
has already covered, some of these boys
will be called TO the colors. They feel
that they ought to be ready and are ac-
cordingly preparing themselves.
A few days ago the boys took their
first cross country hike, tramp OF some
four miles. They covered territory that
could we'll be classified as rough for they
found their path hlly almost the entire
distance They entered intos the march
with a good deal of spirit and as they
marched by farmhouses, they sang their
patriotic songs with great zest. Every
boy Is delighted with his compulsory
military drill and because the young
men are in love with their work It Is al
ready marked for continued success. As
one boy puts 1t. Every advance We

p. L. DECISION ON DEATH
w. A. CAMPBELL,
SkOWHEGAN

The Public Utilities Commission has
rendered a decision in the matter of the
accident on the premises OF the Central
Power CO. at Skowhegan, which resultc
in the death of Walter A. Campbell. Thc
decision is as. follows;
Walter A. Campbell, aged q wears. OF
Cornville, a night watchman in the en-
ploy of the Central Maine Power Co at
the power house at Skowhegan, came II
contact with a high tension wire some
time between 10 p NJ, and $40 2. NJ
probably near the latter hour, November
T. 1917, and received injuries from which
he died in a hospital a 20 A. NJ,
the following morning. Investigation mas
failed to disclose any person who VIII
messed the accident; it was Impossible 70
get any explanation from Mr.. Campbell
before his death, and the following facts
appear TO be all that can be learned:
Campbell had been employed about
three weeks as night watchman, He had
had no previous experience about electri-
cal machinery. He had been instructed
in his duties by the station operator and
repeatedly warned Of the danger of com
ing in contact with the wires and ma
chinery.
"He went on duty at p. NJ. watched
the building and machinery until u mid
night, went to bed and remained until
A. NJ. and then resumed his duties until
6 A. NJ, whe1 he was relieved by the day
operator. His bed was in a small room In
corner of the building, first floor
There are two floors in the building,
the second being II feet above the first
and protected on the inside by q pine
railing so inshes high. A 33,COO-volt feed
wire runs to a chuck coil on the second
floor which feeds down to the first floor.
wire of like voltage runs to the top of
a switch on the first floor, about eight
feet from the bedroom door. A fight or
stairs leads from the first to the second
floor. The stairs are well removed from
both of these wires.
The line foreman left Campbell in the
building at 10 =. NJ, he called al the
building on his way home at $40, heard
him screaming, saw smoke near the sleep
ing room, and found him on the bed, with
his clothing and parts of his body badly
burned. and in great pain. A physician
was summoned, and the injured man was
removed to a hospital, where he died.
"These are all of the known facts ex
cept the discovery of a blood spot OH the
floor, parts of his burned clothing a few
feet outside of his bedroom door, and
what had the appearance Of burned flesh
on a part of the machinery upstairs. It
seems certain that he came in contact
with one cf the high tension wires above
referred to. received his injuries and
walked or era wlcd to the bed where he
was found. Those conversant with the
circumstances believed that it must have
hecn on the second floor and that he fell
from there to the first floor.
This theory is consistent with all ot
the information our inspector was able
TO secure from a personal visit to the
premises and examination OF the Wit
nesses on the day following the accident
Tho investigation does not disclose any
evidence Of fault on the part OF the
utility"
