as his suicide, and each OF these are
casual or unexpected causes. inter-
vening between the act which injured
him and his death"
In a Georgia case 1t was alleged
that the defendant had written a let
ter to the plaintiffs husband which
had the effect of causing him to take
poison and commit suicide. The court
there decided that an allegation Of
psychological results" would not pre-
vent the court holding upon demurrer
that the results charged could not
have been the known and natural re-
suits Of the acts charged against the
accused"
In the Massachusetts case of Daniels
against the New Haven Railroad
Daniels was struck on the head in
collision at railroad crossing. The
blow on his head caused mental dis
case, with the result that he committed
suicide.
1t was decided by the Massachusetts
court that the railroad company was
rot liable for his death but that the
railroad company would have been
liable IL the death by suicide had been
"the result of an uncomfortable i'm
pulse, or accomplished in delirium or
frenzy caused by the collision and
without conscious volition to produce
death, having knowledge of the physi-
cal nature and consequences of the
act"
Where suicide results from a mod
erately intelligent power of choice,
even though the choice Is determined
by a disordered mind" it is deemed
new and independent cause OF death
for which the defendant who caused
the initial injury is not liable.
The Circuit Court of Appeals fur
ther argues that If the deceased, his
mind unbalanced because of his treat
ment, had instead OF committing sui
eide taken the life of another the
widow of the man who was killed
could not recover from the defendants
and that the responsibility Of the de-
PENDANTS is no different because Sal
sedo took his own life instead Of that
of another The court further holds
that suicidal mania is not a natural
or reasonable result of mental or
physical torture.
Judgment affirmed"

Lectures to Men by Brooklyn
Railway Manager Meet

Humanizing the electric railway In

taken by Clinton T.. Morgan. general
manager OF the Brooklyn City Railroad
Company At series Of day and night
mass meetings he is addressing the
1000 workers employed on the bor-
ough's surface lines. Assembling the
men OF both the Brooklyn City and the
B. r. T. organizations at the various
depots and car barns Mr.. Morgan is
urging close cooperation between man.
! agement and labor In the interest Of the
companies and the public.
Mr.. Morgan and his associates look
for new era in the labor situation on
the Brooklyn surface system. Heads of
departments are Joining him in a plan
to link the executive Offices more closely
with the power house and the car barn.
Dozens OF speeches have been made
and the response. according to the
Brooklyn city officials. has been imme-
diate and emphatic. It was even said
that at no time before were labor con-
ditions better in the Brooklyn surface
lines, which under H. Hobart Porter.

Concrete advantages in fewer acci-
dents. less delay and quicker service to
Of the biggest things, to be achieved Is
the cutting down OF the number OF ac-
cidents which. 1t was revealed are con-
suming per cent. Of the surface line
receipts. Not only are fewer complaints
being received but they are outweighed
by the number OF commendatory letters
and messages a condition vitality un-
precedented In the Brooklyn railways.
Closer relations between the manage
ment and the surface workers Is one of
the chief aims of Mr.. Morgan, who
hopes thus to lessen accidents. cut down
operating costs and render better serv-
ice. Among the facts brought home to
the workers Is the damage to cars,
which, he said, at present amounts to
more than $4,000 a week.
William Siebert. superintendent OF
surface transportation and veteran
of many years in Brooklyn traction
service, is helping Mr.. Morgan. Others
who are taking part in the campaign
are the division superintendents and the
executive staffs.

"Motormen can do q whole lot to i'm

for them so that there will be less de-
lay. Do not try to hit all the mud
holes. but when you make a stop do
not run up against the rock OF Gibral-
tar. Let us make decent stops. Do not

Mr.. Morgan. carry more than a million

Superintendent Siebert, who said that
on foggy day recently. when the
rails were bad, only eleven wagons were
struck by cars. During the next day,
although 1t was clear. forty wagons
were hit. The reason for this, Mr.. Nor
gan explained. was the state of mind
Of the motormen who said:
"The rail is good let's 90"
Records show that accidents are few
in lower Fulton street, In lower Broad
way and at the Brooklyn and Williams
burg bridges. This. according to Super
intendent Siebert, is due to the fact that
the men know they must be careful. The
car operators he says. are vigilant as
you ride in Fulton street, where the
pace is mice and slow" but after you
reach Reid avenue 1t Is express time
until you arrive at East New York"
Both Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Siebert are
cautioning the men against the influence
Of old and discredited aphorisms which
long have been a part OF the surface
workers stock Of tradition.
Nobody Is motorman until he hits
a wagon OF a car" 1t was pointed out.
Is trite saying that Is full of danger.
Both Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Siebert re-
minded the men that It costs money to
hit wagons. Five per cent Of the re-
ceipts of the Brooklyn surface lines are
paid out for accidents. they told the men,
Mr.. Siebert adding:
Just think, il we paid out only two
or two and one-half per cent. through
accidents would there not be a chance
for you to get some Of it?"

vealed that ten are already In the shop

On the side of the men the reply was
made that the motorman was not always

EMPoRIA, Kan. Feb. 1s.--A working

to the Circuit Court of Appeals,
which sustained the decision Of the
District Court. Unless Mrs. Salsedo's
lawyer can induce the United States
Supreme Court to grant a writ of
certiorari this decision is final.
Not so long ago there was no right
to recover damages "for causing the
death of a human being by the
wrongful or negligent act of an
other" That was the common law,
and decisions of the United States
Supreme Court were in accordance
Herewith. An action for personal
injuries died when the person died.
This was the law in England until
1S48, and it was the law in interstate
commerce. in the District of Colum-
bia and in the Territories until Con-
gress supplanted the common law in
1906 and made the law Of the United
States the same as the law of Eng
land since 1S4S and the law Of the
State of New York since 1847.
This question of law was decided
against Mrs. Salsedo not because the
defendants were not liable if they had
caused the death of Andrea Salsedo
but because the court held that Sal
sedo committed suicide and that his
alleged treatment was not the natural
and proximate cause Of his death.
In his opinion Circuit Judge Rogers
collected a number of interesting in
stances bearing on this question.
In Virginia man named Shelter
was q passenger in a railroad COL
lision. He was injured about his head
back and spine. Because Of his in
juries it was alleged that his mind
gave way and after several months of
sickness he committed suicide.
Not n Reasonable Consequences.
The United States Supreme Court
decided that the railroad company
was not liable for Shelters death be-
cause ''the suicide of Shelter was not
a result naturally and reasonably to
be expected from the injury received
on the train. 1t was not the natural
and probable consequence. and could
not have been foreseen in the light
Of the circumstances attending the
negligence of the officers in charge
of the train. His insanity, as cause
OF his final destruction, was as little

Constant growth OF population on
Long Island is shown in statistical
table just made public by the general
passenger department of tho Long
Island Railroad. listing the exact num-
bers of Communication tickets issued to
passengers at all the stations on the
road in January and July. 1921. as COM
pared with figures for the same two
months in 1920.
The figures, accurately recorded by
the company for many years. show that
ten years ago there were not more than
five stations on the entire road at which
between 500 and 1000 Communication
tickets We're issued in any one month.
whereas in January. 1921, there were
twenty-four stations with more than
500 commuters. and of these stations
seven went above the thousand mark.
The highest figure listed in the bulle-
tin now made public is that Of Rock
away Beach. which in July. 1921. had
commuters to the number of 1880. an
increase of more than 5000 over the
same midsummer month"; year before.
The next largest increase for the same
twelvemonth was that OF Far Rock
away. which totalled 5.501 commuters
last July. as against only 705 the year
before. The January figures for the two
places make a very different compare
tive showing. with a clear indication Of
Far Rockaway being the more populous

1921, there were 1853 Far Rockaway
