Ninth Ave. Case.

by Engineers.
321 CARS 40 YEARS OLD

Safety first! is to be the keynote of
the public investigation which the
Transit Commission is to begin this
morning into the operation and equip
ment of the city's elevated railroads.
Quite apart from its hearing on the
Ninth avenue collision of last Friday.
In which one man was killed and
several passengers were seriously in
jured. this inquiry. the commission
pointed out has direct relation to the
commissions plan for the unification
and rehabilitation of the city's entire
transit facilities. a project which II
hopes will be adopted and in opera
tion within year.
Crews of the trains in the Ninth
avenue elevated wreck we're absolved
yesterday. District Attorney Banton
said he had found no evidence so far
OF an indictable offense.
Chairman Mc-ineny and his associate
Transit Commissioners intend that when
the projected consolidation becomes
effective this city's rail lines can be put
abreast, IL not in advance. Of any others
In the world In every device that makes
for perfection of safety and efficiency
of operation.
Safety Data Collected.
To that end the commissions staff OF
experts already has coilated mass of
information. Long before the Ninth
avenue case 1t had important data on
the most modern safety signal devices.
Its engineers probably will describe some
OF these in their relation to the preven-
tion of similar accidents.
Several of the commissions experts
are expected to take the stand following
Frank Hedley, president of the Inter
borough w. S. Menden, operating man
ager of the b. r. T. elevated lines. and
their engineering and operating assist
ants. This elevated railroad phase of
the public examinations is expected to
the whole OF the sessions of
to-day and tomorrow.
Since the Ninth avenue smashup much
has been made of the antiquity of many
os the wooden cars operating on the l.
lines. One of those which suffered
seriously in the crash dated back to
1879. Though most engineers regard
the safety equation between cars of steel
and cars of wood a far more vital ques-
ton than the relative safety of old
wooden cars with newer wooden cars,
the Transit Commission made public a
roster showing the number and age OF

CROWN NO LONGER A SYMBOL
osrmanys New Stamp Issues Bear
Pictures Of Wori<inomsn
Instead Of Royalty.

The substitution Of figures Of work
inslnen for crowned heads on the new
postage stamps being issued by the
German government have considerable
political significance, In the opinion Of
the Boston News Bureau. They speak
emphatically for the radical change in
public opinion" and "argue rather con-
vincingly Of continued strengthening
Of democratic sentiment" As the Bos-
ton daily explains:
The stamps are In three series Of
NIX designs, one having the figure Of =
smith, the other miner, and the third
Of farmer. The first series, with .
value OF 60 pfennig Ozark Violet and
50 pfennlg (red), show smiths Of dit
ferent ages at the anvil; the NEXT In
value 100 pfennig (green) and 40 pfen-
Mig (ultramarine}. show miners with
pick, chisel or handcar; the last In
value $50 pfennig (orange) and 1o0
pfennig (blue- green), carrying farmers
moving grain and binding sheaves.
The 100 pfennig stamp will BE- the
unit Tor Foreign postage 1he o. aHu
40 pfennig stamps have now been H.
sued. The other stamps win not b
issued Immediately. as the govern
ment has a supply Of old stamps to be
exhausted.
1t is interesting that the govern
ment takes Official cognizance Of the
deprecated mark, since the 40 pfen-
Mig stamp equals 30 cents gold PR
war parity. That q larger deprecia.
tion is not recognized Is undoubtedly
due to the greater value OF the mark
In Germany than outside.
In any case the stamps are note-
worthy as indicating the passing Of
the crowned head as symbol Of Ger.
