THE DANGEROUS RAILROAD SYSTEMS

TT HE LOOPING of the New familiar read of The Times. The Times, from the beginning of the Melen regime pretty steadily being and how being done The Times continued to protest to exhibit explain and remonstrae until the Meen manage men kicked out and the New Haven system apsed the hands of its present management.
 The Times did neglect say footing of the New Haven not isolated affair. It described what It was part of the system by which few American families had immemoay enriched themselves by railroad wreckng at the of the public and to the injury entire institution of private property.
 Such the reputation of the New Haven solidarity powerful the ooter and apathec the public that the crime against the New Haven forward to it's pletion without anybody being punshed without rest ton. There manifestations contriton repent ance, except such have been by Meen who from the secusion of private lfe time that government ownership of railroads necessary
 Comes Glenn E. Plumb representing the great railroad brotherhood demanding of Congress investigation which the New Haven wrecked in which many other American railroads similarly wrecked.
 Plumb names the families who he says were respons- ble for the wrongs.
 Plumb makes charges that the investment accounts of the railroads 90 cent water that they make the people dividends the and the value of land grants which made to them by the governments Nobody who has studied railroad statistics has any doubts of the truth of what Plumb
 Plumb also charges that the Wall street manipulaors have conspred successful operation by the government
 These charges familiar and the proof of them is not well known to the public.
 When railroad being committed, wise patriotic opposed them saying that the could with their commission but that the destruction of public confidence occasioned by such evil would bring forth further and drastic social disturbance
 What then said of this sort frequently by The Times often others, true. The conspiraors footed American railroads about to to the bar public opinion whher they called by force sufficient to make its will effective
 It behooves all thoughtful Americans, all who want to prevent chaos contribute to the exposure of the actual individuals who wronged the United States peoples; the guilt which belongs shoulders should fall the innocent we'll upon the guilty.

PHILADELPHIA'S NEW CHARTER

ID PHILADELPHIA, which has been of the most corrupt
 cities in the United States, is about to try char by the eminent machine politician Senator Boise Penros The charter despite its doubtful to be marked improvement anything Philadelphia has hiher to enjoyed.
 It has taken Senator Penrose many years to come to a conclusion obvous to his language that "One principle is establishing sef that municipal ment increases in efficiency in the exact ratio in which is divorced from partisan politics '
 The charter adheres to the theory of the responsi blity of the but establishes the double Der system of 146 members, single City Council of 2 elected for terms of four at salary of 5000 each

Flight to Halifax Test
For Real Sea Journey
Seaplanes to Wait in Ne,Ufound-
land for Secret Date Of SHOP
Of" on Trip to the azores

Yesterdays flight is the first leg in
the fight to Newfoundland 1t is not a
part of the transatlantic flight 1t is
being utilized for two purposes: first
as the mdst convenient means of de-
lvering the planes to their starting
place in Newfoundland, and, second,
to test the machines over long dis
tances and measure scientifically their
performance.
The distance from Rockaway to Hall
fax is $40 nautical miles. After spend
ing the night in Halifax Harbor the
planes will fly to-day to Trepassey
Bay, N. F., a distance of 400 nautical
date laid down. in Washington on Feb
ruary "a last as the starting day. This
Is understood to be around May 18.
The main flight is considered to be
from Trepassey Bay, N. F., to Lisbon.
Portugal, by way of the Azores. The
present plan is to fly from Trepassey
TO Horta, in the Island of Fayal, dis
tance of 1900 nautical miles. Should
weather conditions be unusually favor
able the flight will be continued to
Ponta Delgada, in the Island of San
Miguel, without stopping at Horta. The
total distance from Newfoundland
5.
In this flight the course will be COW
cred by practically the entire destroyer
aotilla of the United States Atlantic
feet. There will also be several capi-
tai ships along the route. These YES
sells will be so placed that they never
will be more than sixty miles apart
The seaplanes will be in communica-
ton with two or more of them at all
times.
All surface craft must cease wireless
communication as soon as the seaplanes
come within 200 mile radius of them
Throughout the flight the seaplanes
The Island of Plea in the Azores
which rises sheer out of the Atlantic
to a height of 1000 feet, will act as
directing beacon. This island will
be seen by the seaplanes for a distance
of more than 300 miles.
The main navigating apparatus, how
ever, will be the wireless direction
finder, by which the >navigators car
determine their exact position within
two minutes irrespective of weather
conditions.
After landing at Ponta Delgada the
three seapanes will continue theil
nautical miles. From Lisbon the fligh,
will be continued to Plymouth, Eng.
land, distance of IT'S nautical miles
The average speed is expected to bt
sixty-tive miles an hour. This mean,
the flight from Newfoundland to the
Azores will take about 1874 hours.
In view of Commander Towers's de.
termination to reach each destination
in daylight, the seaplanes will leav,
Newfoundland about noon. Due to tn,
difference of time they will arrive il
the Azores about 8 o'clock the follow
! Ing morning.

been overlooked in the construction of
these planes. They'll do the trick"
Two minutes before 10 o'clock Com
mander Towers waved his hand in sig
nal for the start. There followed i'm
mediatcly tremendous roar as the
motors on the three planes started up
one after another. People on the beach
instinctively put their hands to their
ears to shut out the din.
A touch of extreme pathos marked
the successful start. Just before Com
mander Towers boarded his plane, a
friend of Chief Special Mechanic Z. H
Howard telephoned him in the Brook
lyn Naval Base Hospital that the start
was about to be made.
Late Wednesday night Howard's s
hand was cut off by the propeller Of
the NC-4, on which he was to have
flown as engineer. A little later the
friend telephoned the planes had left
A nurse answered the phone. The
friend waited: Then came a feminine
voice, punctuated by a sob, saying:
"You will have to excuse him. He feels
pretty bad"
At the last moment there were some
changes in the crews of the three sea
planes. They finally got away as fol-
lows;
