Probe Follows Death
The Times investigation followed
Pohcee Sergt. Claude Johnson's re-
port that there was no flagman at
Thirtieth St. Sunday night when
Miss Irene Lewby, %. of 2S31 Mar
tindale Ave, automobile passenger,
was fatally injured by a Nickel Plate
excursion train.
This crossing, which was guarded
from a. m. to 6 p. m. now will
have twenty-four-hour service, as
required by ordinance. the Nickel
Plate has announced.
Other points where the ordinance
is to be observed are at Twenty
Fifth and Seventeenth SITS. where
watchmen were stationed from s a.
m. to p. m. Law requires them
from 6 a. m. to midnight.
Gates Attended To
The two railroads also have taken
steps TO comply with the require
ment that safety gates at Thirteenth,
Fifteenth. Nineteenth, Twentieth,
Twenty-Third and Twenty Fourth
SITS. be in operation from a. m.
to midnight and at Twenty-Second
and Sixteenth SITS twenty-four hours
day.
Nickel Plate officials said they de-
sired 1t known that there was no
disposition upon their part>to evade
any responsibility which would in
sure public safety. The violation
OF the law, 1t was stated. was due
to the fact that there was a change
in management about four months
ago and that the new officials had
no knowledge requirements were not
met 1t was said that the officials
learned that some time prior to the
change in administration some kind
of an agreement was made with a
city official that strict observance of
the ordinance was not necessary.
Steps to straighten out the matter
were started last Tuesday, when Po-
lice Chief Herman F. Rikhoff, acting
upon the information gathered by
The Times, notified the road officials
that they must put the f1agmen on
duty at proper hours or face arrest.
The intervening time has been occu-
pied in obtaining authorization for
the additional expense and hiring of
extra hagmen needed, it was stated
at DeGriefs office.
Meanwhile Capt. Charles Sumner,
left in charge OF the crossing situa-
tion by Rikhoft, out of the city, con-
tinued his survey of all railroads.
Sumner is searching for violations of
the ordinance and for crossings
where flagmen or gates should be
newly ordered.

"Batterlng Ram"

THE influence and power of these
Progressive forces must not be dis
sipated by division in various poll
tical movements. They must rather
be consolidated and used like an
irrestable battering ram on that
party which offers the best in.
strun,entality for service to the
people.
Clearly there is no promise in
the Republican party. Clearly there
is a promise in the Democratic par
ty if this progressive influence is
wisely and vigorously used within
that political organization. The hope
of genuine reform and progress is
more likely to be realized at this
time through the Democratic party
than through any of it's opponents.
Il shall, therefore, give the Davis
Bryan ticket my cordial support and
shall take part in the campaign uLon
my return early in September"
